In this country, mutton rarely
attains the age of four years, and
hence, probably, the reason why
the article known by that name is
generally so poor compared with
the English article. Wethers of
good size, and of a breed disposed
to take on fat readily, are often
marketed at two or three years old;
but it would be for the breeders
interest to keep them at least till
they were FIVE years old, as he
would then be able to cfer a very
superior article, and to secure a
price accordingly. There is no
meat superior to good mutton
