Marketing Baby Mutton.

"Neatness in preparing the papy
mutton for market will bring solld
returns in the currency of the realm
said John B. Peele in paper read be-
fore the Continental Dorset Club. Con-
tinuing, he said:
"Here l have found the shearlng
machine very useful. Beginning at tne
breast bone shear along the medium
line where the skin is to be cut, and
all the wool on the quarters that might
come in contact with the flesh is care
fully shorn away. When this is done
the lamb is hung. A strong cord with
a loop at one end and a stout wire
hook at the other is quickly attached
to the hind legs and caught over a
projecting brace about six feet from
the ground and the lamb is ready Tor
the sacrifice. The nose Of the lamp
Is held with the left hand and quick
stroke Of the knife sewers the jugular
vein. and as soon as the struggling
ceases, which will be in less than one
minute, the head is entirely removed.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-06-16

A piece OF board twelve inches long
spreads the legs apart. The skin 10
split from the tail to the breast bone,
and up the quarters to the hooks and
removed for few inches ON each side.
The entrails are removed and the caul
spread carefully over the exposed
parts Of the quarters and down the
front and into the abdominal cavity
where the kidneys are pulled through
Sits made for that purpose. The KID
neys are an index to the condition
OF the lamb. II they are entirely COW
cred with fat the buyer does not need
to make further examination. Inc
skin is then brought back to Its origin
al position and fastened by stitches
few inches apart. Our printed direc-
lions say fasten caul and skin in place
with wooden skewers, but the caul
hardens in place in few minutes.
and a darning needle and red wrap
ping thread beats the toothpicks half
way. At our place the killing is done
in the afternoon, generally on Tues
day, and the wrapping next morning,
so they cool in about eighteen hours.
In preparing for shipping I am in
debted to H. P. Miller for the idea
of fastening to frame. My lambs re-
quire a frame feet long, 8 inches at
one end and Is at the other, all OF
very light material A ten penny nall
fastens the neck at one end and the
legs are securely tied at the other. we
wrap them first in new muslin and
then in burlap and sew each one In
carefully and neatly. AS the season
advances and the weather grows
warmer we find it better to market
alive in the nearest city. Cincinnati
is our market. We then use crates
holding six or seven lambs, which are
returned to us by the express COM
panies for ten cents.
I'VE ship at six o'clock in the even
ing and the lambs are on market next
morning. When shipping alive we
select our lambs at noon and place
them in an apartment where there is
fresh supply Of shelled corn, crush
ed corn, oil meal and bran, clover hay
and water. At five o'clock they are
stuffed as tight as ticks and do not
realize that they ever had mothers.
In the corner of the crate we tie
punches of bright clover hay so that
they may have something to nibble
at instead of fretting for their moth
ers. The only object of the examining
is to prevent fretting, for your baby
mutton will melt like a SNOWFALL II
favorable conditions do not surround
them. Now for results: In our early
experiences we felt aggrieved If our
early February lambs did not sell for
five cents per pound in Cincinnati.
Now we are disappointed if our No
vember and December lambs do not
sell for So each in New York"

Hot Water for Sprains.-The most
effective remedy for sprains is the APP
plication of hot water. This must be
by the immersion of the joint, if pos
sible. or, if this is not practicable, by
pouring on water as hot as can be
borne. Wrapping the joint loosely in
cheesecloth or other soft muslin serves
to retain the water and the heat, and
makes the application easier. This hot
water bath should be kept up for at
least two hours at time. After the
hot-water treatment, absolute rest is
imperative, and must be persisted in
until the joint is perfectly well, for
every motion of the Joint is only an
aggravation of the injury, and necessa-
rily adds to the tediousness Of recov-
ery.-From Demorest's Magazine.

Gen. A. S. Kimball, Depot Quarter
master of the U. S. Army, in New
York city, has sent to Lyman Nc
Carly. Assistant General Passenger
Agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road in New York, letter of thanks
for the prompt movement of troops
that were ticketed over the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad during the past year.
He says that many of these movements
were made on short notice and his de-
partment had too frequently to rely
upon insufficient and sometimes mac
curate data. He realized that under
such circumstances the company was
placed in an embarrassing position and
the extraordinary efforts made by the
line to give satisfaction in every re-
spect merited and received his fullest
appreciation.

Potter's field was piece Of ground
which, according to the statement in
Matthew xvii, 7, was purchased by
the priests with the thirty pieces OF
silver rejected by Judas and converted
into burial place for Jews not be-
longing to the city. The passage reads:
And they took counsel and bought
with them the potter's field to bury
strangers in" The terms used at the
present day to denote the ground
where unidentified persons and the
bodies Of unclaimed persons are buried
undoubtedly had its origin in the
transaction alluded to by Matthew.

iAnotb.r White Mans Burden.

Struck by bright idea, the chiro2-

fashionable part of Chicago and
wanted to do something original and
at the same time convey the impress
sion that he intended to be rigidly ex-
elusive in the matter of patrons, hung
out this sign: Come in Here and
Have the White Mans Burden Re-
moved From Your Foot"
