Mutton Production.

The introduction of mutton sheep into the United States goes bravely on. Forty-One Hampshire Downs were at New York lately. They came from England, and will be sent to Mercer county, Pa., for breeding purposes. Still more important is the report which came to us from Montana that leading sheep men in that territory are seriously think ing of organizing n movement to acquire abandoned farms in New England, and introduce mutton sheep husbandry there upon large scale,-American Wool Re- porter

The Suffolk is the farm horse of the counties of eastern England The writer in The AgricultuIist says:
 The Suffolk horse of the present day retains many of the leading features of the breed the description of which is ex. tant as he appeared at the close of the Seventeenth century, Reference is made to what he was like l9O years ago in the writings of some of the standard authors on British agriculture. The color, the short legs, the powers of endurance and the persevering efforts at the collar were his distinguishing points at that time and these are still a marked character istic in the Suffolk as he is now to be found in the east of England. But added to the merits named he has been endow- ed with an activity and comely appear ance not accorded to the original stock.
 The Suffolk horse of the Nineteenth century is among the most shapely and certainly one of the handsomest animals on the farm list. Invariably of chest nut color, occasionally with a darker shade, and rarely whited beyond the pastern joint or blaze down the face, their uniformity in appearance at once suggests the identtyof origin Indeed, the pedigree charts which are given in the first volume of The Suffolk Stud Book account for this. Every stallion of the breed in Suffolk can give his ge- theological record of identified paternal | ancestry for l30 years, all ending in one | animal Of no other breed can such a thing be said and proved,
 The usual height of full aged Suffolk | stallion is about l6! hands-from 65 to l 61 inches. In weight he would gener- ally come to about ton-from 300 to l 2,3OO pounds. His head is mostly light, with lively countenance and hand. somely arched crest not unduly weight ed. His shoulders are long and his mid dle well arched, with deep ribs and heavy quarters. His bones give one the idea of not being sufficient for his i'm. mense width of carcass; but that is ac- counted for by the luck of hair, for the bone of a well built Suffolk, stripped of skin and what in other breeds is some times beneath it, is invariably larger than it appears. They live and flourish on rations that would reduce the large dray horse to a skeleton, and at an age when other breeds aIe worn out the Suf- folk IS usuallya hale and hearty servant, good for many year at farm work.

Valuable Cnru.

The census bureau, with all the rest of It's work, has been attempting to ascer- tain the value of the carp which have been introduced into American waters.
 One man to whom schedule was sub mitted replied that the carp in his pond had been worth $1 ,000 to him in the past six months. His wife had been sick and he had fed her exclusively upon carp, to which diet he attributed her recovery.
 She was worth S1,0O0 at least, and therefore he estimated his gain on hisin gestment at that sum.-Boston Tran script-

Points of Interest.

This fact stands out in the midst of the disastrous experience of numerous sheep raisers in the past half dozen years: The price of wool has been like the Indians description of the white man, mighty onsartain." but more and more mutton has been consumed every year. The inhabitants of the United States are becoming sheep eating peo- pie, and you can depend on that. When wool does not pay, therefore, you can be sure that good fat mutton always will
 In western Colorado mutton brings a better price per pound than beef.
 The hogs of Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut bring the highest price per head of those of any of the states.
 The year 1890 has added more than a thousand new trotters to the 2:3O list in America
 A movement Is now on foot to cross the American trotting horse with En- glish hackneys. tis expected that from this cross an animal will result which will possess the speed of the trotter and the strength and size of the hackney. It is hoped to produce superior car riage horse from the cross.
 Big hogs are raised in South Dakota in spite of the belief that swine thrive best in warmer climate. A farmer near Sioux Falls lately sold seventy-fve hogs that averaged 875 pounds apiece. But how old were they?
 If the sheep is healthy and growing, putting on flesh instead Of shrinking, the mutton will not have a woolly flavor. It is the sheep that is on the down grade that produces woolly mutton.-Feld and Farm.
 Eastern farmers should think how 1t would seem to go out among their herds some morning and find that from fifty to hundred of their best and fattest cattle have been killed or stolen during the night. This is what the redskins have been at in some localities

SOME MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BEST FARM HORSE.

Good Illustration of Suffolk Punch
 Stallion-Favorite Farm Horse in the
 Eastern Counties of EngIand-EasiIy
 Kept and Lasts Long Time.
 Authorities differ. William Croner, in his excellent work on farming, says that the Clydesdale is par excellence the horse for the farmer, while the Suffolk Punch makes the best possible draft horse for city work, being capable of hauling immense loads. He pronounces the Suffolk too slow, however, for farm work in America.
 Awriter in The American Agricultur- ist, however, says that the Suffolk Punch is just the spry, easily kept beast that is wanted for farm use, and that the En- glish Shire horse or truck horse, is the one exactly adapted for heavy city haul ing. It is certain that the Clydes ard Percherons are as yet more popular as draft and farm horses than either the Shire or Suffolk Punch. The illustration shows an excellent type of an imported Suffolk Punch

Wasting Hay.

Tons of hay are annually paved under the horses feet and go to waste. It is true there is great difference in horses and the habits they form. Some will eat from almost any kind of box and waste little, while with others nothing is suit. able except manager boxed on the stall side with hole only large enough to ad. init the horses head when eating. Even then, if there is a rack behind the box through which the horse must pull the hay, it is all the better. - Nor'west Farmer.

The Woolly West,

The Big Timber Pioneer takes pride in recounting the following facts to the credit of its town and county in general: One million six hundred thousand pounds of wool shipped from Big Timber the past season, valued at IS cents per pound; 93,OOo mutton sheep shipped, valued at S3.1O per head; 10000 stock sheep sold to Dakota parties at an average of $2.5O per head; nine cars of cattle shipped at a value of $35 per head.-Montana Live Stock Journal.

True Independence.

The stock farmer has the most inde- pendent lifein the world, says The West ern Agriculturist. His stock and grass grows day and night, rain or shine, with out host of hands to feed and pay off He is more independent of the bad sea- sons than the grain grower, who loses a crop when the season is bad. True, there is nothing now to brag of in prices of stock, but still it is better than any other business on the farm, and if we have high grade stock we get the top of the markets that pay well even in these times.
