Mutton.

Hon. Daniel Webster kept on his farm, in
Marshfeld, from sixty to a hundred sheep, chief
ly for their meat His selections embraced the
Southdowns and the Leicesters.
On one occasion Mr. Webster remarked, how
little the great mass of Americans cared for NUT
ton as food, while in England the people gener-
ally esteem it the very best of butchers meats.
He said he believed one reason to be, that the
English mutton in general was better than ours.
You may occasionally" he said, find good NUT
ton in Albany, New York and Philadelphia
but in England you find no bad mutton"
A sheep, according to Mr. Webster, should
never be killed for the table before it Ii three
years old. A lamb indeed, may get nearly its
full growth at year and half, or twenty months,
and become very fat, and this is the age at which
they are usually sold for the shambles but such
early mutton is not dclicately mixed, the lean
with the fat 1t shrinks in boiling and when
cut upon the table, it fills the dish with aohite
gravy. Mutton two years older, though no fat
ter, will have much higher flavor, the muscles
and the fat being mixed, and when thoroughly
cooked will fill the dish with red gravy.
1t is gratifying to find these views maintained
by one whose authority will secure for them the
influence to which they are entitled The at
tempt in some circles to exclude mutton from
the list Of delicacies is here well and deservedly
rebuked. No man who possesses cultivated
taste in these matters will fail to respond to these
discriminating remarks Of Mr. Webster.
We mean to repeat a thousand times, or at
least till what we say has some effect upon our
countrymen, that pound of lean, tender, juicy
mutton can be produced for half the cost OF the
same quantity of fat pork; that it is infinitely
healthier food, especially in the summer season
and those who eat it become more muscular, and
can do more work with greater ease to tothemselves.
than those who eat fat pork We know nothing
| more delicious than smoked hams, OF the South
down breeds of sheep. Venison itself is not
superior
