the cheap and expensive cuts on a car
cass We reproduce it here tor the
instruction OF those readers that may
not be perfectly familiar with the To-
cation on the carcass of the different
cuts. The diagram shown here is that
or a grade steer cut UP by Chicago
butchers. The prices are retail. In
some markets in Chicago the prices
fOr the finest cuts are somewhat high
er than those shown here. but in those
same markets the cheap cuts sell at a
very low price. 1t not infrequently
happens that the markets that charge
Tor the poorer cuts less than they can
be bought for in the low-priced mar
kets. This is because in the neighbour
hoods in which the high-priced mar
kets are situated there is a large de-
mand for fine meat, but almost none
fer the cheaper cuts.
The lesson TO be learned from the
diagram is that the animal must be
enlarged to those portions where the
prime cuts OF rib, porterhouse and sir
loin are located. An animal must be
grown long bodied so that as much
meat as possible will be included be-
tween the 'chuck" ON the shoulder
and the rump at the hind end of the
animal. The object of intelligent
breeding is to reduce the quantity of
cheap meat and Increase the quantity
OF expensive meat The legs are
shortened SO that there may be little
shank" and shin" The neck also
must be made as short as possible, as
1t is worth pound for pound only
about one-seventh as much as the
porterhouse, and not half as much as
the round.

You may add masts if you like, but
they will not be of the slightest use in

boats with your right hand.
The idea is to shove the vessel under
your command into the narrowest slip"
between the wharves. This may look
very easy, but you will quickly find
that good deal of dexterity is required.
1t is sure test of a steady eye and
hand, and the effort is rendered harder
by the fact that each rudder must be set

ward the left. This will sometimes spoil

Wintering the Flock.

1t is of no advantage to carry lot
of fowls over into spring unless there
is some object in view, and the poul-
tryman is confident that it will pay
to winter the birds. Before winter ar
rives there should be a reduction in
the number as close as possible in Or
der to avoid crowding. Room on the
roosts and on the floor is a necessity
when the ground is covered with
snow. Select the best, and then select
again In order to avoid mistakes. It is
better to have few good fowls that
pay than to retain large number that
are prOfltable.-Farm and Fireside.

Bad Air in Hen House.

Constantly breathing impure air
soon makes us sick. Yet many men
allow their hens to live in an atmos-
phere that is thick and heavy with
disease germs, and then wonder why
their birds sticken and die. We have
heard of a case where the loss from
death has been Is per cent during the
last three years. No specific disease
has been in the flock, but a general
debility that caused death in one of
several ways. This is an extreme
case, although we know of several
cases where the percentage of loss
has taken all the profit from the bust
ness. These cases are among farmers
who keep comparatively small hocks.

IT there was one thing Aunt Comfort
delighted in more than another, it was
"arbs"
Every summer and fall her capac-
ious garnet was stocked with them, anC
great clusters of thoroughwort, boar
hound, boneset, spearmint, pennyroyal,
and coltstoot, duly labelled, were hung
up, together with punches of sarsapa-
rilla, sassafras, burdock, elderberry
q nd dog-fennel roots, and bags of To-
bella beans. These, it may be said,
were her great specifics, whether it was
Meier taken with cramps, Hannah with
"yaller janders," old Cy with "rheu-
matis," or any one else Aunt Comfort
was privileged to dose.
In pursuance of her regular custom
when certain "arbs'' were ready for
gathering, she had, on this pleasant
Saturday morning, spent by Martin in
fishing, gone with Angie and Meier
to carry the basket, on an excursion
over the hillsides and into the woods
overlooking Greenvale, and was just
returning.
Meier, on ahead, halted now and then
to shy a stone at bird or squirrel,
Aunt Comfort was waddling along, and
Angie carried an umbrella for a sun

PREPARE FOR ICE HARVEST
Plans for Storage House That Will
Protect the Ice During the Hot
Days of Summer.

The time of preparation for harvest
ing the ice crop is again at hand. Some
who have employed very temporary
structures for the storage OF their ice
in the past are now thinking OF build
ing something better and more peHma-
nent Others will cut ice for the first
time this year. We are glad to see
this, as an abundance of ice on every
northern farm should be considered not
a luxury, but necessity.
There are two or three weak points
in the general construction Of buildings
for the storage of ice. The first is in
making poor foundation, thus secur-
ing lack of drainage. The second IS
kind of roof, on which the sun gen
crates such intense heat that the inside
of the house is more like an oven than
place for keeping ice. While little
scope is usually given in the selection
of site there are certain precautions
to be taken in order to secure a good
bed of ice. The following is very
good general plan:
If the site chosen be on a little rise
above the adjacent ground level, SUI
face drainage will give no trouble; 9th
erwise provision for it. as we'll as for
the water from the melting ice, must be
made. For preparation for the founda-
ton of the house, which can be placed
on stone or cement walls, or on cedar
posts set in the ground two feet, at
least, excavate at least one foot below
stills, and fill with cobble stones or
very coarse gravel, the whole of the
inside of the stills, smoothing off the
surface with fine gravel or cinders. If
the digging shows clay soil, a drain
should be put in to carry off surplus
moisture, carrying drain we'll under the
gravel. Scantlings can be bedded In
the fine gravel on which to place a
floor of cheap lumber, placed one inch
apart to permit the water to pass
through readily.

cubic feet to hold a ton of ice, conse

Well made clover hay is an excellent
corrective for concentrated feeds in

PURE BLOOD.
Blood Impurities of Sprinstime-

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are

readers.
One of the most timely and interest
Ing lectures he ever delivered was mis-
recent lecture on the blood Impurities
If spring.

every spring the blood is loaded with
the cffete accumulations of winter, de-
'anging the digestion, producing slug
!ishness of the liver overtaXing the
Eidneys, interfering with the action Of
The bowels and the proper circulation
Of the blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
lever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicken-

Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he
IS weak, nervous and depressed; and
