upon it. lie was frequently watched,
but no amount Of tugging, pulling or

him.
Professor Fischncll, of Basel, writes

KILLING SHEEP.

The Proper Way Of Preparing Muttoa Sss
Home Use or the Market.
A sheep improves in flavor with age,
and they are never too old As long as
they are healthy and fat In fact, they
must be two years old or more before
they make what is called "red mutton. ~
that is, mutton which when cooked done
has red gravy. 1t is best before killing
to let the sheep remain twelve hours
without food, having plenty of water.
Then. everything being ready, cut the
sleeps throat close to the jaw and
head to the bone, inserting the knife
into the spinal column OF the neck to
insure quick death. The hind quarters
should then be skinned, as they are
easily reached; a gammon-stick is taen
inserted to the sinews of the hook, when
the sheep is suspended and the skinninx
completed. Next the intestines should
be quickly taken out, which prevents
the wool taste so often mentioned by
haters of mutton. This taste comes
from an infusion of the excretions into
the circulation after the vital powers no
longer prevent it, as the sheep has the
longest intestines of ruminants. In
killing game. experts always take out
the intestines at once for the same rea-
son. The carcass of mutton may then
be wrapped in the woody side of the
sheepskin without harm, as experiment
will show. The sheep may be hung up
at once by twine around the hooks and
the gammon-stick, and the same opera
tons gone through. but the first process
is the best-N y Herald.

Regarding Permanent Grass.

- great fact always true, now -
:.-Hient times, that old things pass
away and new things take their place.
The man, whatever may be his place
and his peculiar work in life, who thinks
that the present exhibits all the perfee-
ton that is possible in methods, prac-
tices and results, is most unwise, and
stands as serious obstacle in the path
OF his own progress. American agri-
culture is mostly based upon the cartii-
mai principle that permanent grass is an
impOssibility, and that it is indispensable
to seed land with grass with great pains
and after two or three years to destroy
all the work and plow up the land for =
four or five years preparation for re-
seeding. And all this in the face of and
in spite of the fact that our best grass
lands are those which have never been
plOwed, but which have been seeded
without plowing when the original for
est was first cut off nearly q century
ago. and also of that other one. that our
greatest supply of beef is now grown
upon grass lands which have supported
vast herds of wild cattle for centuries
and have never been turned by the
plow.-N Y. Times.

MOUNTAIN TROUT.

| How The Beautiful Fish Climbs Steep HIS
Not long since / followed one of thes'
dashing trout-streams from the VALLEY
up the mountain. Nature seemed Il
have done her best to protect the LITTLE
fishes that lived in the dark deep pool.
and eddies. The higher climbed uE
the mountain, the more fish I found
the stream became a succession of falls
some of which were three feet or more
In height-the brook in its track form
ing steps down the mountain-and
began to wonder how the fish came to
be up there.
In the village, chanced to mention
the subject to a friend who owned Z
mill on the same stream; and he told
me that the fishes ascent was q puzzle
to him, until one day his boy called him
out to the dam, where the riddle was
solved. The dam was nearly four feet
high, and to relieve the stream, several
auger-holes had been bored in it, allow.
ing small stream of water to jet f0rci-
bly, out and 60 splashing down into the
clear pool below. As my friend ap.
preached the spot, and looked throug b
the bushes, several large-sized trout
were seen moving about under the
mimic fall, evidently in great excite
ment, and darting into it as if enjoying
the splash and roar of the water.
Suddenly, one of the fish made q
quick rush that sent it up the falling
stream. so that it almost gained the top;
but by an unlucky turn it was caught
and thrown back into the pool, where il
darted away, evidently much startled.
Soon another made the attempt, dart
ing at it like the first. and then rapidly
swimming up the fall, but only to meet
the fate of its predecessor. This was
tried number of times, until finally, o
trout larger than the others made 3
dash, mounted the stream, and entered
the round hole. The observers were
almost ready to clap their hands, but il
was not successful yet. As the water
stopped flowing for a moment, they saw
that though the athletic trout had sur.
mounted the fall. the hole was too small |
for it to pass through, and there the |
poor fish was lodged. The loOkers-on |
hastened to relieve it, and found that its |
side or pectoral fins were caught in the |
wood, but by pushing the fish ahead.
which you may be sure they did. they
liberated it, and it darted away into the
upper pond.
Here. then. was the explanation. The
trout climbed the mountain by swimming
up the falls, dartiDg up the foammg
and adopting every expedient
to accomplish their journey. For these
fish deposit their eggs high up stream,
SO that the young fry. when Matched.
may not be disturbed by predstory fish
and other foes living in the lower waters.
