E
pound CT neck meat and a pound Of
sirloin. - .
Realizing this deficiency. and with
the idea of adding to- the knowledge
of such matters, the United States
government issued a bulletin in which
1t showed the relative proportion OF
the cheap and expensive cuts on car
cass. We reproduce 1t here for 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
OF 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
or than those shown here, but in those
same markets the cheap cuts sell at a
very low price. It., not infrequently
happens that the markets that charge
for the poorer cuts less than they can
be bought for in the low-priced mar
kets. This is because in the neighbor-
hoods in which the high-pr:ced mar
kets are situated there is a large de-
mand for fine meat, but almost none
for the cheaper cuts.
The lesson to be learned from the
diagram 10 that the animal must be-
enlarged to those portions where the
prime cuts Of, rib. 20 rterhouse and sir
loin are located. An animal must be
grown long bodied, 50 that SIS 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 80 that there may be little
shank" and "shin." The aeck also
must be made as short as possible, as
it is worth pound for, pound only
about one-seventh as much as the
porterhouse. and not half as much as
the round.

A CROP for Every Soil.

Some crop is adapted to almost every
condition of soil. On; the great semi
arid plains of the west, sage brush and
cactus grow luxuriantly. The world is
explored for useful plants that will have
the characteristic Of the plants men
toned as to ability to grow in arid
places, but have at the same time some
economic value. Considerable success
has already been obtained.-Farmers'

tend six inches below the bottom Of
the box. g. The dial and glass frame
should measure six: inches in diameter,
and to fit it to the box it will be neces-
sary to cut a hole in the front of the
case five and half inches in diameter,
as shown also in Fig. 2.
The shelf top to the box is beveled
1t the under side and attached with
glue and nails. It overhangs the sides
and front of the box about two inches.

Fruit for Horses and Cows.

We are asked If It, pays to feed fruit
to farm animals. Does it pay for you
and your family to eat apples and 9TH
er fruits? If it does. it will pay to
feed fruits to your horses, cows. etc.
Our horses and cows are crazy for ap-
pies, and as we always give them some
fruit they always have an expectant
look when we come: near them. I'm
feeding apples to cows they should be

horse as will a pound Of oats, but this
is no reason, why fruits may not be
helpful to animals. It is said that no
germs can exist in the stomach while
fruit acids are present. Yes, feed your
animals fruits, but not in excess, and
do not feed green fruits, since you
would not eat them yourself.-Midland

The elements OF progress in our
