Points in judging Sheep.

AS with beef cattle. there is GER
tain parallelogram for shape that one
looks for in the mutton sheep. Ihe
Judge will probably take this into
consideration by sizing the sheep IN
his eye before any handling whatever.
An ideal mutton sheep is never
without good legs that come to the
ground squarely and give every indl-
cation of possessing power ana
strength to support the body, Inc
sheep with legs short, stocky ana set
well apart will invariably attract the
attention of the judge OF GOOD NUT
ton sheep. says the Drovers' journal.
The mutton sheep with fine zone
seldom finds favor with the )uoge-
He is inclined to interpret such indi'
cations as lack of vigor and hardness
and Indifferent response to good feed
ing.
The long, narrow face is never con-
,sidered anything but weakness
among the mutton types. Instead. one
desires to see the short nose and
broad face, indicating heavy confor-
nation.
A mutton sheep with a 'ewe neck
is about as much out of place as
dairy COW without the pronounced
wedge shape formation. The drop in
the neck in front of the shoulders
called "ewe neck" is invariably avoid
ed almost instinctiyely by both judge
and experienced feeder.
A mutton sheep is never without
good depth from the top of the shoul-
der and a point midway between the
fore legs. An equally essential fea-
ture and which follows chest depth in
close correlation is girth of heart. 1t
is hard to find a mutton sheep too
strong in either of these two points.
A prominent backbone or spine is
avoided, as II is a sure indication OF
a deficiency of flesh along the back
and loin. II is of some considerable
importance that a good mutton sheep
be close coupled-that is. the distance
between the last rib and the hip joints
be comparatively short.
Among mutton sheep the wool is of
minor consequence. though 1t must be
considered in connection with the
other points of the carcass.
The judge OF a mutton sheep never
fails to pay a little attention at least
to the thigh. There is a certain law
of correlation of parts existing
throughout the whole conformation.
One never sees a poor thigh on a
Arst-class mutton body.
There are numerous other points
that judges will invariably run over
in Judging good mutton carcass, and
these are but a few of the most dis
tinct, but will give glimpse of some
of the more prominent features.

HEALING SCHOOL

Washington. Nov. 17.-Justice Peck
Court to-day delivered an opinion in
the case of the American School OF

postmaster at Nevada. Missouri, where
the school is located. The proceeding
grew out of a fraud order issued by the
Postoffice Department prohibiting the
postmaster from delivering mail ad-
dressed to the school.
The original bill asked for an injunc-
ton to prohibit the postmaster from
obeying this order. On trial in the
United States Circuit Court for the
western district of Missouri the depart
ments order was sustained on a de-
murrer. To-days' opinion reversed that
Judgment but in delivering il Justice
Peckham said there was no intention of
passing upon the various constitutional
objections set out in the bill. the inten-
tion of the court being to simply hold
that the admitted facts show no viola
tion of the statutes cited, hut an erro-
neous order given by the postmaster
general to the defendant which the
courts have the power to grant relief
against" The action of the court was
accompanied with instructions to the
lower court to "overrule the defend
ants demurrer TO the amended bill
with leave to answer and to grant a
temporary INDUCTION as applied for by
complainants."
The opinion added In overruling
the demurrer. we do not mean to pre-
clude the defendant from showing on
the trial. if he can. that the business of
the complainants as in fact conducted
amounts to violation OF the statutes.
Justices White and McKenna did not
concur in the opinion.

broke out afresh in the labor conven-
ton to-day, and there is every pros
peCt that on this occasion the fight
will be to a finish.
The charges were originally made
by President Shatfer after the termin-
alton of the great steel strike in 1901
They were to the effect that President
Gompers and President Mitchell. OF
the United Mine Workers, had been
guilty of un-unionlike conduct in re-
fusing to support his organization in
its fight. They, on the other hand,
asserted that the association over
which President Shaffer presided was
trying to violate its agreements and
that his stand was untenable.
Delegate Sheridan, Of the Amalga-
mated Association, colleague OF
President Shaffer in the convention.
threw the bomb by asking unanimous
consent to introduce resolution
calling for an investigation of the
charges. Both parties announced that
they courted the investigation and it
