Maine is harvesting large crop of hay sim
ply because Of The wet season. Last winter,
on account of want of the usual covering of
aud no amount of rain can coax crop OF
grass from fields where there are no seeds or
roots to nourish. Advises from the eastern
part of the state, particularly from Aroostook
county, are positive to the effect that not
more than half The average crop will be real

Ru,cher,s Mend in EnxIand.

An interesting light is thrown on the
mysteries Of the slaughter house, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, by a memorial
Just presented by DR.. Yield, Medical
Officer of Health for Sunderland, to the
Health Committee of the town, against
the blowing and stuifing of meat.
The practice of "blowing" is described
as follows: A tube or pipe is thrust
under the skin of the meat, and the
butcher or dresser then blows the foul
air from his own lungs into the cellular
tissue of the meat, the. effect being that
deceptive appearance Of plumpness or
fatness is given to the meat, and in
many cases it becomes tainted with the
smell of rum, tobacco, etc. This is
pleasant for meat consumers, and where
ignorance is bliss it is perhaps folly to
be wise, and now that attention has been
called to the blowing practice, it might
perhaps be as well for butchers so far to
meet the wishes of the fastidious as to
use a pair of bellows for the purpose Of
giving graceful embonpoint to the car
casses they kill. Even for their own
sake they will act prudently by discon-
tinuing the use of their lungs in the
process. DR.. Yield also protests against
the practice of arti6cially stufing the
loins or other parts of the animal with
Fat, so as to give a false appearance Of
corpulence. AS remedy, he suggests
the imposition of penalty for every
such offense of 2Os for the first and 40s
for each subsequent conviction. His
suggestions were adopted unanimously
by the Health Committee at Sunderland,
and it is to be hoped that not only in
that town, but elsewhere, artificial fat.
ness will at least be produced by less
disegreeable means than those men
toned by DR.. Yield.

Ballooning experiments have been
made recently at the Woolwieh arsenal,
England. On one occasion after the
balloon had ascended thousand feet
the aeronauts tried new steering appa-
rstus, but it failed to affect the course of
the balloon, although it enabled the aero
nauts to make it revolve to the right or
left.
