THE CITY
THE REDWOOD.

Of all the streams of fame and song
That to the poets strains belong
HydaSpeS, Avon, Alton, too,
All that to poet fancies WOO,
The very humbleSt of all streams
That e'er invoked poetic dreams
Is Redwood-still nobody's pride,
UnCr owned, unSung, unglOrlned.
Where's Dillman, Sigvold, Robinson?
Bards who have some distinction won
For iingling rhymes. or what is worse
Have limped through leagues of bad spelled
From them t'would seem some praise is due
For inspirations which they drew:
But bards 1t seems may be lmbued
With that vile sin, ingratitude.
To such ingratitude foe,
l stand and watch the stream below,
What multitudes of worn out things
Each devotee to the river brings
Old shoes, utensils and old clothes,
Beneath its placed depths repose,
Relics of frOlic and of FEAST
Cats dead and gone six months at least.
Now fairly choked with oyster cans,
Now murmuring over old tin pans,
Here rushing through old crockery crates,
THE Tiber choked with spoils of Rome
Is quite outdone right here at home:-
1t seems to, fair stream, alack.
On you the town has turned its back.
And vet we do remember days
When your lines lay in different ways.
Where issuing from the gloomy earth
You dashed along in careless mirth;,
The willow o er you waved her wand
And Nature seemed so fair and fOnd;-
Around you were the sheltering hills
And songs of birds and happy trills.
'Twixt grassy banks and blooming flowers
How happy passed the radiant hours.
Before the suns of fierce July
Had Tapped your imped waters dry.
The wind but touched you to Caress,
The sun looked on you but to bless:
But here, fair stream. it seems, in truth
Here are the bad lands of your youth.
Where you as we shall gather stains
To ripen to immortal pains:
Or happy if in that great sea,
That men have named eternity,
We lose all thought of good or sin
Of what might be. or what has been,
And mingling with the common clay
Forget the night. forget the day

Here's a Delicious Entree.

To prepare twelve large mushrooms
use sixtablespoonfuls of fnely-chopped
cooked chicken, three tablespoonfuls
of stale bread, one gill of stock, two
tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoons
fill of salt, half a teaspoonful of onion
juice. one-fourth of a teaspoonful OF

Soak together for ten minutes the three
tablespoonfuls of stale bread and the
stock. Add the meat. salt, pepper,
onion juice and one tablespoonful of
the butter. Let this stand while the
mushrooms are being prepared. Cut off
the stalks and pare the mushrooms. As
each one is pared drop it into a dish in
which there is a quart of water and the
juice of the lemon. When all are done
take them from the calculated water
and place them in a shallow baking

MUTTON IN DEMAND.
Prejudice Slowly Giving Way Befors I'm
pfovemenf In Quality

Prejudice Slowly Giving Way Befors I'm
prevement In Quality
Americans are fast learning thatmut-
ton is an excellent food-not the tough,
lean, leathery meat of former days
when the wool sheep predominated
and flesh was only an unconsidered
side issue. but the tender, juicy NUT.
ton which we are o. raising in many
sections.
The consumption of mutton has in
creased threefoid within the past dec
ade and ought to increase twentyfold
within the next, for there is certainly
room for an enormous expansion.
There is no denying that Jul mutton
used to be pretty poor stuff and de-
served its bad reputation. Unfortu-
nately the latter still clings to it in
the minds of many people who would
be surprised to learn that physicians
prescribed it for patients instead of
beef. which it outrauks in healthful-
ness and digestibility.
Carelessness or ignorance of the
proper method of killing and skinning
the sheep had also much TO do with
the popular disfavor, as. it was re-
sponsible for the woolly and semi
tainted flavor which at times repealed
even the most ardent mutton eaters.
This objection has now been removed,
and tender, tlicy meat, properly pre-
pared. is so commonly offered in the
markets that prejudice mnst rapidly
give way.
There is no doubt that the mutton
sheep has a great future before it. If,
despite free trade and high rents, the
English farmer can find money in the
industry, the American, with his unri-
vailed natural anfpolitical advantages,
ought to be able to. 1t is not true that
the English sheep raiser has any idea
of going outof the business The MUM
Der of sheep in that country has de-
clined, owing TO last years great
drought, but at this years autumn
sales at the sheep fairs high prices
have prevailed. A Lincoln ram was
sold for $3.50 and nineteen others of the
same breeder averaged $50 each. An
other lot of twenty averaged S14O
each. At a Scotch ram sale one Bor-
der Leicester ram brought nearly 5000
and two others $500 each. The same
breeder sold t%hirty-two rams al an av-
erage of over 500.
To be able to pay these prices farm,
ers must not only have money hereto
fore, but they must be satisfied that
there is still some to be made and that
it is to be obtained only by the use of
the finest rams procurable. The i'm
.portance of breeding only the best has
been too much overlooked in America.
We are only slowly realizing that it is
rather than quantity that
While we may find that one
good animal may cost o than two
it will also bring considerably
when marketed, and meantime
the greater-expense of maintaining
auimals must be set off against
the original cost.-N. Y. World. e.

POINTS FOR HoRSEMEN.i

THE owner of Isinglass, the great
english race horse, Hugh McCalmont,
has lately refused s94, 500 for him.
HEAVY draught horses and roadsters
which can shows goodgait and stylish
action are the kind of horses now in
demand.
THERE being no law against the sale
of horse meat in Chicago, the slaugh-
ter of horses for that market is assum-
ing large proportions sFsF
The shrinkage of value of horses
last year is estimated to be over $685.
900, 600, and the total loss in falling of
of prices will no doubt aggregate $780,
900 since the commencement Of the
present depression of values SRA
WHEN Clidesdales are used a depth
is reached in blowing that is not possi-
BILE to lighter stock and no doubt
much of the greatexcellence of Scotch
and English blowing is due to the
strength and steadinsss asrweli ss In
telligence of these horses.
HORSES are now being shipped from
this country to Europe and our expo~ts
of horses exceed in value those i'm
ported. Formerly we bought q great
many horses from Europe for purposes
of improvement, but Europe is now
drawing on Us for horses for the same
purpose.

COST mi QUALITY.

The Wintering of Stock Considered from
a Business Point Of View.
From this time IN through the win
ter and until the grass makes a good
start in the spring. the stock must de-
pend very largely,if not entirely, upon
the food supplied 10 them.
1t is quite an item, if the best profit
is realized, to keep in q good condition,
al it is rarely good economy to stint
the ration at the expense of the growth
of the stock At the same time it is
quite an item to winter as economically
as possible, as INT Of the ways of in
creasing the profits is by lessening the
cost of production. This applies to all
classes of farm products, whether of
meat. wool, milk or butter, and the
feedingSdufing the winter is an inn
portantitem IN the cost of keeping
with all classes of stock. Every ad-
vantage that can be, should be taken
advantage of in order to lessen the
cost without impairing the quality.
Every one must, in a measure, study
the conditions under which he is work.
ing. and largely determine for him
self where, and in. what way, the cost
can be lessened to the best advantage.
- What will be best for one farmer
will not always answer with another,
but it: will be an exceptional case
when, if proper care is taken in good
season, considerable reduction in
the cost cannot be made, and this
with the improvement in quality at.
fords the best means of Increasing the
profit. A. w Is 3 ssiFis5v -
The farmer cannot control the mar
ket price, but he can ~control@the. cost
of productions and ethe quality of
the product very considerably. To
some extent, the quality determines
the price. and the better the price in
nearly all cases, the better the, profit
1t is largely for this reason that itis
not good management to lessen the
cost at the expense Of quality.
Rather to improve the quality but
lessen the cost should be the rule as
fully as possible, and now when the
stock are put On dry feed is the time
to look into this SO as 70 determine as
fnlly as possible the best plan to fol-

K an Omelet.

It is an easy thing to do and not often
we'll done. The trouble lies in the fact
that most cooks overhead their eggs. A
simple omelet is not a soufie. Break
ali your eggs in one plate; stir, rather
than beat, up the whites and yolks; to
each three eggs put in a tablespoonful
Of cold water; Some do not like milk;
salt and pepper your eggs moderately;
take some parsley and chop it; let the
parsley be fine; put two ounces of but
ter in a pan; when the butter is very
hot pour in the eggs; just as soon as it
is cooked on one side, not crisp, turn
quickly and cook on the other side;
double it over when you serve it on a
very hot plate; the cold water in the
eggs makes the omelet Eight and moist

Effect of Soda and Potash.

by some experiments on sugar beets
that nitrate, of soda had the effect of

may project out far enough for the
