Marketing Mutton.

Il is general complaint in the Western
States that butchers in country towns
dislike to slaughter sheep and to sol
mutton. Some discourage the use of t
BY keeping poor quality and by askina
more for it than they do for beef. Possil
bly, beef cuts to better advantage and
results in smaller loss to retailers. The
pieces containing much bone can be
disposed of for making soup and the
ruts unsuitable for steaks andaroasts can
be cured In brine and sold for corned
beef, for which there is always de-
mand. II is likely that Western butch
brs are troubled in disposing of the
poorer cuts Of mutton. Corned mutton
Is not as salable as corned beef. In
some places there would be no demand
Tor IL till one was created. Still mutton
Is q better meat for preserving in brine
than beef. Those who have been ac-
eustomed to eating corned mutton gem
orally prefer it to corned beef. For
boiling with Vegetables 1t is excellent.
Il Is very delicious when cured in salt
and smoked. There Is complaint
among English farmers that butchers
pay less for beef, but insist in asking
more for II. They all keep mutton,
however, as the demand for 1t is con-
stantly increasing In that country. The
demand for itwould steadily increase in
the United States were sheep that pro

were trained to cook the meat properly
Many regard mutton as inferior t

The Last Of the Leech FISHERS.

A grizzly old man, with his breeches
legs turned up to his thighs, waded
through the bitches of "the Neck in
the First Ward yesterday. He carried
with him a tin can and a miniature
scoop net. He was engaged in the
somewhat curious occupation Of catch
ing leeches. The business" said he
70 an inquiring reporter, sis NEARLY
played out, but make something at it
yet" The old fellow then proceeded
to carefully wash out his tin can, re-
marking: "Have to be very careful to
have nothing but pure water IN this
can, for the leeches will not live in any,
thing but pure water. 1 have been a
leech fisherman for twenty years, and
it took me good while to learn how to
keep them.
The manner of this odd old mans
fishing was very simple. He vigorous
" stirred up the mud in the ditch with
his feet, and then watched for the
leeches to rise to the surface or perhaps
settle upon his bare legs. Those which
came up he caught with his little scoop
net, transferred the to his tin can of
water, and then calmly proceeded to
PICK off such as mad fastened upon his
limb. The loss Of blood appeared to
give him no uneasiness although IN a
days fishing this must be considerable.
hating about his curious mode of
making living the old man said 81
have frequently taken ZOO leeches
f.om single stream. If they once get
filled with blood they drop off dead,
and thus many die after getting square
meal from the legs of the cattle which
roam through the bitches. Leeches
may, with ca e, be kept indefinitely.
There is a fa sale for them, but the
demand has dwindled very much of
late years. French and swedish leeches
are now very generally used, because
they can be preserved much easier.
Years ago many men and boys were
engaged in leecn fishing in this neigh
borhood. l am all that is left, and

Shelter for Stock.

So much has been said and written
upon the above subject one would think
no intelligent farmer could be ignorant
of the Importance of providing shelter
for all his stock, yet we lind some
farmers give but little attention to
sheltering their domestic animals; they
do not appear to know that the greater
the exposure to the cold and storms the
larger amount of food is required to
keep up the animal heat. An ANNA,
comfortably housed will gain in weight
on the same amount of food that would
barely sustain one exposed to the cold
and storms. If an animal barely holds
its own without any gain there is a loss
on all the food it consumes, and if it
loses in weight there will be loss on
all the food previously consumed to be
added.
To feed stock all winter in such a
manner as simply to sustain life is poor
economy. Stock should thrive every
day of their lives and grow more meat
or else earn us their keeping by their
work or by their increase milk and but
ter productions. Stock should be pro-
vided with shelter if for nothing else.
but simply as question of economy il
the consumption of food. Exposure tc
cold storms renders an animal less
hardy, and detracts from its constitu-
tional vigor. On the contrary, we be-
heve that suitable shelter, that stock
can resort to in case of cold storms, will
tend to promote vitality. An animal
can perhaps endure the full force of
regular blizzard, but it is only at the
Expense of certain amount of vital
| zee, which must leave. it in worse
: Sdition than an animal that has been
7 tected. There are many times when
