DRESSING WINTER MARKET LAMBS.

Illustrations showing the Right Way to
Prepare q Carcass.
The growing Of early lambs for market
is becoming an extensive industry. Not
the lambs that are ushered into the
world during the bleak March and early
April days, but those which arrive from
late fall until midwinter, are carefully
reared in warm stables and reach the
markets all the way from Christmas I'M
til the outdoor lambs from the south
make their appearance in midspring.
These always command fancy prices, If
properly fattened and dressed, but the
latter is so often improperly and imper-
fectly done that much loss results to
shippers.
Perhaps no product comes to market
that shows such marked profit from
proper handling as these. To illustrate:

In that article il was stated that the
men were discharged. This the men
emphatically deny; they say they quit of
their own motion, and together. 1t was
charged also that the men complained of
too much work. They say that they
never complained on that score, and had
no reason to complain.
Another canse stated was that the men
dIsliked another employe who had
worked for Smith three years. The men
say that The man referred to had been in
Smiths employ but three months,
though he had worked for Smith twice
before and was twice discharged.
This man the employees did and do dis

such repute concerning a matter that

complaint OF them; that he approved
their work; told them they were efficient
and begged them TO stay and work. but
though poor men they would not insult
their manhood by working with the
character Smith put among them.
They had no words with Smith, made
no threats and laugh at the idea of his

stated that the citizens of Gait thought
that, in order to keep the roads in good
order in that vicinity, it would be best to
sprinkle them for mile on each one
leading out from the town.
1t would be necessary in order to do so
to put up three tanks and windmills from
which to get water, and they asked that
the county provide them.
The matter was referred to Road Com
missioner Jenkins.

assessment was made to the Board of

Superintendent Grau wishes it stated
in justice to Sacramento that the factory

made by the local agents, who had to
haul the ice long distances, and lost a
very large percentage by melting also.
