The leg, loin and rib are the high
priced cuts that determine the value
Of carcass Of mutton. An animal
that fails in one Of these fails essen
tally to meet the requirements Of the
market for high priced mutton. This
is particularly true Of the leg cut, and
plump, well filled legs are indispensa-
BILE in prime lambs.
The illustration shows good front
and back views Of a carcass selected
as a model at the Union stockyards
Chicago. 1t exhibits a remarkably well
filed leg, back, rib and loin, the flesh
being even and thick at all points, and
on cutting it was found to be Of SUI
perior quality throughout. This is the
profitable type Of carcass to the killer
and consumer as it contains the high
est proportion of choice meat and the
minimum of cheap product and offal.
1t was taken from 95 pound South
down.

Der on hand Jan. l, from 1896 to 1899

mutton sheep from Canada still con-

a heavy duty is imposed and that Ca
madam mutton is also made on higher
priced feeds and lands than prevail in
our own country. During the last year
the number of sheep imported at Buff
falo alone was 1861, valued at $574,-
$50. We have also been importing $780,

the United States. Our rich lands and
abundant feeds are well suited to the
economical production Of superior NUT

of the wool demanded for American
manufacturing.
How the butchers cut the carcass Of
a sheep and how the housewife should
order her mutton are matters Of inter-

diagram shows the method Of cutting
a carcass, and the prices given for the
several cuts are based upon the Chi

cuts are the averages made by seven

There are some seventeen books pub
lished on South Africa-some favor
able, some otherwise-to the Beers.
One is "The History of Our Own Times
in South Africa" by Alexander Viii
mot, English. He says:
o course the recent expansion of
South Africa is due entirely to her
mineral treasures. 1t was in 1852 that
England, owning The Sovereignty,
otherwise known as the Orange Free
State voluntarily gave lit up to be con-
verified into a republic"
See that. But for the river of dia-
monds and the very rich gold mines
there would be no war now raging, bu
the Beers would be left in peace to
work out their own destinies as free
men unmolested by the British land
grabber and gold hunter. Avarice is
at the bottom of the whole thing.

Professor Schurman, foreign born, is
chairman of the United States Philip
pine commission. He has been inter
viewed by the Washington Post. He
saw the great polygamous Sultan OF
Sulu group Of islands. He is reported
as saying:
The Sulu group proper contains
about 100, 900 inhabitants They are all
Mohammedans, as are about $50, 900 of
the residents of Mindanao, directly
east To attempt ito interfere with the
religion Of these people would precip-
itate n of h bloodiest wars in which
his country a ever engaged. Po-
lygamy is a part Of their religion and
slavery, about which SO much is being
said just now, is a mild type of feudaI
bondage"
And these are the new allies Of
Emperor Bill Mckinley in the remote
east. What a fine set Of friends he has
picked up. After this no McKinleyfte
ought even to refer to Mormonism
without great respect. Roberts is
faulxless compared with the barbaric
Sulu Sultan.
