VALUE OF a LAMB.
Worth When Measured by What Is Called
the Block Test,

Professor Curtiss Of the Iowa expert
ment station has published in The
Breeders Gazette ;ln account Of how the
different breeds of lambs pan out when
their carcasses are cut up by the butch
ers He takes the style Of cutting used
by two Of the leading slaughter firms Of
the country. He says:
In the slaughter test the Merinos av-
eraged 5l.S per cent of dressed mutton;
Dorsets, 81 6; s5uffoll1s, 50. 6; crossbrods.
Cotswolds, 549; Lincolns, 90 /; Ok
fords, 55.2; Shropshires, sos; Leices-
tiers, 57.8, and yearling Shropshires,
CAS-.
The block tost was made by cutting as
indicated i'll the accompanying diagram.
This particular drawing is one furnish
ed by one firm that / have had prepared
for Illustration i'll class work, but the
other firm use practically the same
method except that the parts marked
"breast,'' shank, - shoulder" and
meek generally go as one piece called
chuck and this cut was rated uni
formly at ? cents q pound in each lot Of
the station sheep. When tho meek
piece is sold separate it usually brings
about a cent per pound. All of these
prices are wholesale.
The prices pat Oh the ether cuts of
the station sheep varied somewhat in
the different breeds, owing to quality
and size. Tho Soutldown and Strop-
shire lambs were rated highest, the
prices being as given in the illustration.
1t will be seen that there is marked
variation in tho value of the different
parts OF q carcass Of mutton according
to the Chicago Wholesale market. There
IS also moro or less variation of the
prices OF tho principal cuts, one 80 tn

Mrs. Potter parts her hair at one
side, putting it out very much over the

which she decorates with a huge bunch
of violets with the stalks setting up
wards, while the back of her hair at the

are in all; one in the shape Of a child
comb, with a glittering row Of dla-

slide just to keep the short hairs in

smaller diamond comb peeps at you

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-From the

sive people in Greater New York will
come trooping this week a handsomely
dressed crowd, naughty in manner,

age to the useful animal that adds to
the Importance of wealth and the ease
of the wealthy. Like many more pop
ular suggestions, however, the idea
| that society meets to pay homage to
the horse is so far wide of the mark
as to be almost an absurdity. Society
attends the horse show to pay homage
to itself. What is the glossy skinned

utmost Indifference.
Apart from the men whose business
| it is to judge the horses, and the men
and women whose horses are there to
be judged, there will be few who will
not agree on this; that the pedestal on
which is raised the American horse is
not to be compared in height and

are concerned, and the attendance is

| of the social set who have not yet
returned to town from their country

to miss the grand fall reunion around

of the old Livingston country seat at

nous Pickhardt mansion, which cost
the original owner 81 ,45O, 600, though he
never occupied it; the Vanderbilts,
having passed the period of mourning
and being now at liberty to plunge
once more into the social swim, will
do so during horse show week; Mr.. and
