DEMAND fOn MUTTON.

The relative price of mutton TO cost
of production is much higher than
other meat, unless IL Is poultry. This
clearly indicates, says a Minneapolis
daily, that the demand for good NUT
Ton really exceeds the supply, and
there Is still room for the profitable
breeding and feeding Of good mutton
sheep. Mutton breeds are growing In
favor In the Northwest. and with tho
advent of good meat In the markets
the taste for mutton is growing. No
flesh Is more nutritious and no animal
is cleaner or lives on more wholesome
food than tho sheep. In tho city
markets the demand for high quality
of mutton is constantly on the in
crease, aud commands an advance Of
two to four cents II pound over the
poorly fed old mutton that was for
merly dealt out to everybody who
called for mutton at the butchers
stalls. Good mutton can, no doubt,
be as cheaply produced as beef, and
with mutton breeds it will hold its
place against the best of beef.
These mutton breeds, like the Ok
fords, Shropshires and Southdowns,
have been brought to perfection by
high feeding, just as the shorthorn
has been made superb animal by
generations of stall feeding, and to
keep up the high quality they mus, be
fed literally. They have good appe-
ti,es and large bodies and cannot live
and grow fat aud tender on what
would keep a wool producing merino
In good condition. Fortunately, in
the Northwest, there is no lack Il
feed, especially rough feed, and ap-
petite In live stock is no objection.
The machine which will consume and
convert the most food into calabh
flesh is the best. Dainty stock Is not
wanted. but there is call for rusters
with good appetites. These mutton
breeds when literally fed, give good
returns and buyers are always at
hand. Rural World.

A PICK-ME-UP FOR JADED ANIMALS.
The discussion of the question Of
