MUTTON VERSUS PORK.

There is no better meat food for man
than good mutton. If America would
substitute mutton for the pork which is
eaten by it's people. the doctors would
their wives. bottle babies would be I'M
known. the divorce courts would go
out of business. the term of life would
be increased, and much of the cussed-
ness of the country be prevented, to
say nothing of trichina and all that.
Still. we never expect to see the day
when the delicious odor of roast porl;
and apple sass. boiled ham and fried
sausage will not be enough to over
come any and all arguments why peo
pie should eat mutton rather thar
pork.

CINE to haul the gravel to make a fin

When n fat hog a year old sells for
$40 in the corn belt, as now, it is no
wonder that grangers pose as presi-
dents of national banks. The $50 hog
is in the same class of wealth pro-
ducers as oil wells and pay dirt in a
gold mine. The grunt of satisfaction
given by the hog as he lies down to
snooze is not to be compared to the
grupt of satisfaction on the part of the
granger as he cashes the check received
for the hog.
