Not many years ago. lie says,
when an OK was slaughtered forty
per cent of the animal was wasted;
at the present time nothing is lost
but its dying BREATH AS but one
third of the weight of the animal
consists of products that can be
eaten, the question of utilizing the
waste is a serious one. The blood
is used in refining sugar and IN
sizing paper, or manufactured in
to door knobs and buttons. The
hide goes to the tanner; horns and
hoots are transformed into combs
and buttons; high-bones worth
eighty dollars per ton, are cut IN
to handles for clothes brushes;
fore. leg bones sell Tor thirty dol
lars per ton for collar buttons,
parasol handles and jewelry; the
water III which the bones are boil
ed is reduced to glue; the dust
from saving the bones Is food for
cattle and poultry; the smallest
bones are made into boneblack.
Each foot yields quarter of a
pint OF meats foot oil; the tail goes
to the soup; while the brush of
hair at the end Of the tail is sold
to the mattress maker. The un-
digested food in the stomach,
whlch formerly cost the packers
OF Chicago thirty thousand dollars
a year to remove and destroy, is
now made into paper. The choice
parts of the fat make the basis of
butterine; the intestines are used
for sausage caslngs or bought by
gold beaters. All scraps unfit for
any other use find welcome IN the

PUBLIC OPINION.

The following press notices Of
Public Opinion are characteristic
Of those constantly appearing in
publications of all classes in all
sections OF the country. The
Wesleyan Magazine says:-''The
pages of Public Opinion each
week give carefully selected re-
sumo OF activity along different
lines both at home and abroad.
One noticeable feature Is the con
densation Of the most important
articles from the best periodicals,
so that the reader gets, within
brief compass, the best thought of
the day. 'Solidity' well expresses
the character of the articles. De
void of every tendency TO attract
attention by mere display and
sensational captions, it appeals to
busy thinkers, who will find 1t ii
most satisfactory reflection Of the
upper strata of public opinion"
The School Gazette says:-"The
Editor of the School Gazette has
been a constant student of Public
Opinion for ten years, and he
owes much to that paper for the
help it gives hlm IN his work.
Those who aim to become philo-
sophie students Of the worlds do
ngs, can not afford to be without
it,"
The Superior, (Neb.) Weekly
Journal, Il representative member
of the rural press, said in a recent
lssue:-"To the busy man, who
desires to keep III touch with the
big world beyond our little West.
ern towns. Public Opinion Is a
necessity"
City and State, Il Philadelphia
publication, devoted to good
government and reform, says:
'The particolored opinions usual
ly found IN its pages are not easily
blended. It, is needful to have
these opinions, however, for thus
alone can we know truly our land
and time, the world and man, and
how goes the battle of the hour
and every hour has Its battle"
