Norway Making Arrangements to supply
London With Mutton.
London will shortly have the advan
tage Of another meat supply-this time
from Norway-which, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfecting ar,
rangements for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead. as il can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision Of the
Stavanger Agricultural society. and the
results were so satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be re
peated ON a larger scale.
Il appears that 80 sheep. each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattenec
for q week or SO until they turned the
scale at from ll5 pounds to 1913 pounds.
They were then shipped to London,
where they realized an average price,
after deducting commission. Of about
o.. so. aud as the total outlay had only
been about 81. so per head there was a
net profit Of nearly 81 ON each animal.
Forty were also sent over with the
skins. hoofs and interior intact, but on
these three was an average loss Of 10
shillings per head. partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing.
Nevertheless the Stavanger society
has come to the conclusion that the
business promises to be remunsrative.
and the English people have thus an
additional guarantee Of an adequate
supply Of mutton.

LOST IhE POlNI.

Last year while certain distinguish
ed English lady was travelling In this
country she expressed astonishment,
says the Chicago Record, ut the vast
fields Of corn presented to her view dur
ing journey through Indiana and Hi
nois. and she wondered what the Ameri-
cans did with the enormous crop. To
this bright young American girl in the
party answered: 1--WE eat what We can,
and can what we can't" The witticism
would have been lost upon her ladyship
had IL not been for the friendly Offices OF
others ia the party, who, by dint OF
labor, diagrams, chisels, etc, finally got
her lsdyship to see the point OF the joke.
Then her lsdyship was so pleased that
she put il down in her note book to
spring il upon her friends at home.
This Is the way the witticism sounded
when IL WAS let loose ri one OF her lady
ships dinner parties: "In America, you
know, they have SO much maize that
they eat what thay can and tin what
they can't"
