The Butchers Sheep.

In an animal intended for the block
we want the greatest possible amount
of meat of the best quality at the
points that bring the highest mar.
ket prices. says A. W. Smith. In the
sheep we always want very well
covered back. as the cuts are valuable
right along the back. In some mar
kets the leg is considered the mos
valuable part. To produce a good
carcass sheep should be good ON
the loin. wide and fairly thick. good
on the saddle and round the heart,
and good in the leg and twist. One
OF the most important points In judg
ing mutton sheep is to see that
the flesh handles well. 1t should not
be soft and blubbery, but firm and
elastic to the touch. The wool on
a sheep makes 1t more difficult to de-
termine this satisfactorily. Firmness
is one of the most important poinl s.
Wherever you have softness and blub

not of muscle or lean meat. as is de-
sired. This applies to all breecs.
whether it is a large breed like t.1e
Leicester or the little Southdown We
want the largest proportion of lean
meat possible. and we have to es.i-
mate when judging alive. as nearly as
we can by touch. what is the pro
portion of lean to fat. To get tie
best quality of meat we must make
allowance for certain amount OF
waste to the consumer and dealer.
To the dealer it is more profitable
to throw away a certain proportion
OF fat and have large proportion of
meat of good quality than 1t is to
have good deal of fat and but little
lean, and that of poor quality.

Goslings.

In state of nature. grass is the
first thing eaten by the goslings. Our
breeders take the hint from this and
provide grass for the goslings raised
in a state of domestication. After the
little ones are week old they should
have pasture of grass. AS grass is
largely nitrogenous, moistened corn
meal acts as good balance and is
given the young goslings. The provi.
dent goose raiser also looks out that
they are supplied with all the grit
and sand they are likely to use. A
mash that contains cooked vegetables
Is good food to be fed once a day.

In-areedina of Fowls.

The in-breeding of fowls is not so
much in disrepute among fanciers as
1T was. We have theories, but the
results of experiments are not always
what we expect. The same seems to
be true with the results of in-breed-
ing fowls. 1t is a subject of which
we do not know so much as we
thought we knew.

Sick Fowls as sreeders.

A man should know enough about
his fowls to be able to determine
which fowls laid the eggs that are to
be used in Matching the new brood;
whether they be of common hens or
of turkeys. A sick fowl or one that
has been sick should never be used as

The KINGS PICTURE

\ he king from the council chamber
C..Ae. weary and sore OF Eeare'
| He called to Ilif the painter,
And spoke to him thus apart:
I'm sickened of the faces gnoble,
Hypocrtes towards and knaves'
| | shall shrink in their shrunken measure
Chief slave in realm OF slaves.
Paint me a true mans picture.
Gracious, and wise, and good;
lowered with the strength of heroes
And the beauty of woman hood.
It shall hang in my inmost chamber
That thither when l retire,
It may fill my soul with its grandeur
And warm II with sacred nre.3
So the artist painted the picture,
And 1t hung in the palace hall;
Never a thing so lovely
Had garnshed the stately WALL
The king, with head uncovered
Gazed it with rapt delight,
Till it suddenly strange meaning
Bafied his questioning sight
For the form the supplest courtier's'
Perfect in every limb;
But the bearing that of the henchman
Who filled the fagons for him.
The brow was the priests. who pondered
His parchment early and late;
The eye was the wandering minstrels,
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips half sad and half mirthfu,
With a ftful trembling grace,
Were the very lips OF woman
He had kissed in the market-place;
But the smiles which her curves transhgured,
AS rose with its simmer of dew,
Was the smile of the wife who loved him,
Queen Etheyn, good and true
Learn then, o king" said the artist.
This truth that the picture tells
That in every form of the human
Some hint of the highest dwels;
That, scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin,
We nay gather by beautiful glimpses
The form of the God within"

WRESTLING.
WHO WINS
 TOMORROW
Cronan and Pickett Will be Backed to the Limit French Wrestler Wants a Try.

At the call of time tomorrow even- ing in City hall two of the sturdiest young athletes in Waterbury will go at each other for a contest for the championship of the city and 1t is safe to say that there will not be one idle moment from the time those two chaps begin to work until the contest is ended one way or another. Dan Pickett of the Goodwill Athletic club and Dave Cronan of the Brooklyn Athletic club have host of friends. From all parts of the city are coming lovers of the wrestling game to see just how fast two strong and clever young fellows can work. Hundreds of dollars have been wagered on the strength of the contest and it is be. lieved that never in the history of sporting events in this city has there been so much interest created as over the coming contest between these two Waterbury boys. The interest is very like unto that created at the time the Co G tug of war team went down to defeat before the strong Kling broth CTS team of New Haven. The ringside seats are now on sale and as the ca pacity of the hall is limited those who cannot get in tomorrow night will have only themselves to blame The two preliminaries will be corking con- tests. In the first one "The Turk" and Young Blondin will meet and the second one will bring together Gresham, the champion of Montreal, and Young Fitzgerald of the Good wills,

 PRESIDENT
James Kilmartin Elected :, Again Last Evening-Bill
 Thompson Not Signed With Norwich.

The Greater Waterbury league held g meeting last evening at the St Pat ricks parish hall and made more ar engagements for the opening of the season of this hustling little league. The managers present last evening were J. Cunningham of the St Thom- as Cadets; w. Mcdonald of the Mer- rimacs; w., Legge of the Ben Mohrs; W. Bergen of the Good Wills; D. But Ter of the Acorns, and w. Nolan of the Big Seven. Manager Cunning ham presided as chairman. It was decided to not increase the number of teams in the league, and the Orient club which made application for ad- mission to the league was given leave to withdraw.
 The schedule committee reported and the following teams sq. will face each other for the opening game on Easter Sunday: Merrimacs vs AcOrns; St Thomas Cadets vs Ben Mohrs, and Good Wills vs Big Seven. Managers Legge, Butler and McDon- aid were appointed committee to draw up set of rules for the govern ment of the league. s
 One of the important features transacted last evening was the cleo tion of James Kilmartin to be again president of the league. He received the unanimous vote of the managers and undoubtedly the league will be as well conducted as it has been in the past under his careful leadership.

THE PUClLISTS. GARDNER ALL
 THE GOODS
Charley Sieger Took the
 Part of the Punching Bag White Accorded Much . Courtesy.

Boston, March 22.-The limit of hu- man endurance and mans capacity for punishment was never more severely tested than in the Jimmy Gardner Charles Seiger fight last night before the Douglas club at Chelsea, which went the limit, the decision being given to Gardner. For fifteen rounds Gardner, working with machine-like precision, with terrible force behind his blows, battered the Hoboken ltal- ian to pieces, but could not knock him out. Only once during the mill did Seiger actually become dazed from the terrible punishment that was metee out to him, and that came in the last round. He staggered across the ring and fell against the ropes dazed after being caught flush on the jaw with q terrific right swing which the Lowell boy started from his backbone. It was furious fight. Despite the fact that Seiger was being chopped to pieces, he never stopped an instant, but kept going to Jimmy. The Italians face was the receiving end for scores of straight lefts and hooks which were usually followed by right cross that went true to the mark. Time after time Gardner drove in ptle-driving straight right and left blows to the body, but it only seemed to make Seiger fight all the faster. In the last five rounds Gardner foolishly swapped punches with the Italian, and at that game he was outclassed. Seiger was completely outclassed in every round. His jaw seemed to have the strength of iron.

MORE ABOUT WHITE.

The unfavorable weather kept Jabez White. the English lightweight cham pion, indoors yesterday. White has been besieged by reporters, has had his picture taken in all sorts of poses Reaely, two dozen times and has been interviewed about 100 times, actual count. Prize fighters do not receive this attention in England and the whole thing was a novelty to the Briton.
 White and Mitchell have planned to start for the Pacific coast to-day. Whites bout with Britt is assured, but a date has not been selected. The way it looks now Britt and White will have it out some time between April 24 and 20. Mitchell said yesterday that White would only require three weeks solid training. If he leaves to-day. pre- sumlng that the trip will consume q week, as Mitchell is going to stop over in Buffalo for day, White will have over month to get into trim if the pair nieet on April 20.
 Mitchell's reason for visiting Buffalo Is due to the fact that he wants to see his son, Charles Alexander Mitchell, who is being educated at one of the colleges in that city. Young Mitchell will accompany his father to San Fran cisco and assist fin getting White into shape. Charles Alexander is d clever fellow with the gloves, strong and viz. orous. and Mitchell thinks that he is just the sort of boy to work out White.

MANAGER HANLON IN.

The trouble in the Brooklyn Baseball club over a reduction in Manager Ed ward HanlOn's salary has been patched up by a compromise on the part of both HanlOn and President C. H. Ebbets. Hanlon had cOnfab with Ebbets in Washington late on Monday night with the result that the famous manager signed q contract that will expire on October 15, for salary of $9.OOO and no reserve clause. It is understood that HanlOn will not manage the Brooklyns after this year. He went to Lancaster, Pa, yesterday to sign Out fielder Sheckard, after which he will go direct to Columbia, N. C.. to take charge of the team. Incidentally. Han lon in long statement to the Balti- more News blames his former friend and partner, H. k. Von der Horst. for his present predicament. Hanlon goes on to say that for several years Von der Horst has been in hard luck and that some time ago he turned over 10 per cent of the Brooklyn clubs stock to Hanlon. who paid him certain amount with an agreement that if Von der Horst ever desired to sell outright Hanlon would receive the first chance to buy.
 Hanlon further declares that VoE der Horst. after releemfng his stock. broke the alleged agreement between them by selling out to Ebbets and Med icus so quietly that Hanlon knew noth- ing of the deal until he saw it in the newspapers. In this way Hanlon says that he was left at the mercy of Ebbets and Medicus. and was compelled to ac- cept a reduction in salary because al, of the other managerial berths had been filled.

WHEN LAWS ARE USELESS.

Here is the nub of the matter. We are willing to file thOusandfOld con. demnation upon that hateful abstrac- tiOn, Il trust. but we refuse to move step. against the agreeable gentlemen who are the trust. Incarcerate grave citizens who found charities and wear white waistcoats. display far-reachins public spirit and unimpeachable top hats.-the thought is abhOrrent. Our wrath gives out when we have smitten the wrath of the tentacled monster, and are confronted by the bland reali- ty of the highly respected culprit. So long as this is the temper of the gov. ernment. so long as prompt criminai prosecution of persons does not follow judicial reproduction of the fictitious personalities they control, so long fin. vestigating trusts by the executive or attacking them in the courts will be the hollowest sort of pleasantly. And. more important yet, until we are ready to turn the rigors of the present law against the persons who flOut it, all promises of antitrust legislation. rate regulation and the like are merely the apple or the fig with which the gran. dam in the White House diverts that great public babe in matters financial the public.
 For what will be the penalties by which evaders of an interstate license or of an established rate must he brought to fear the law? Precisely the fine. which at present we never i'm pose. and the imprisonment, the very thought of which revolts us. Will ths mere enactmentrof new laws enable us to take q sterner view of those sympa- thetic persons who actually hold the wire by which the tentacles of the oc- topls are movedg In this whole mat ter we have lived too long in mystifica- tions and hyprocrisies For the pur- poses in hand. namely. the sturdy en forcement of old law or the enactment of new-there are no trusts. There are simply highly considered busi- ness men ready to grasp at illegal ad vantages: talentej lawyers who have at their fingers ends every safe eva sion of the statutes. great merchants and manufacturers in need of rebates. Until the law smites in their persons a few of these gentlemen. who sustain our churches. adorn our clubs and pro- mote our philanthropies. the talk of controlling the trusts as such is the widest unreason or the most patent hypocrisy. Nobody likes to he i'm prisoned- The most formidable deter. rent lies at our hand. and we are too easy-going 10 use it: and until a fear. less enforcement of the present laws lands few pillars of spciety behind the bars. all executive excursions and alarms against the trusts will recan that king of France whose twenty thousand men came down the hill and paced into nursery mythOIogy.-Sew York Evening Post.

FRENCH WRESTLER TALKS.

While Tom Jenkins, Frank GOtch and John Fleming, the Butcher Boy," are clamoring for q chance to fiatten out George Hackenschmidt on the wrestling mat when he arrives in this country, the voice of another man of muscle Is heard plroclaiming that he, too. is entitled to an opportunity. It is the Frenchman, Albert Auvray, and of all husky mat men he is the huski- est. He is 5 feet II inches tall and weighs 2S5 pounds. His arm is bigger than the leg of an ordinary man, and he can carry a horse on his shoulders. He has wrestled with Hackenschmidt while in England, and has come to this country to try conclusions again with the Russian Lion." Auvray is now in Montreal, where he has en- agreements to throw from two to ten men each night, and expects to come back to New York about tlies time the Russian wrestler gets there. But Au- vraX seems to be a modest sOull, and if he cannot get match with Hacken- schmidt he is willing to try fall with Gotch or Jenkins. None of the strong ones will pick him up and toss him about. as a glance at his picture win prove.

AMERICANS BAT IN ORDER.

New Orleans, March 22-Yesterday afternoon for the first time on this trip Griffith lined his New York Americans up for team batting prac- tice in regular order. The hit and run plan, sacrificing, double steals and other schemes to get men around the diamond were tried. The batting or der follows: Dougherty, Keeler, FL berfeld, Williams, Anderson, Conroy, Fultz, catcher, pitcher.
 The field work was done by the overflow players and the batters were kept at it without pause until twen- ty-seven of them had been put out, this being plan of Griffiths' to en- able his men to get their eye on the ball. DOugherty, Williams. COnrov and kleinow did the best hitting. The pitchers in the box were Putnam, Hogg and ClarksOn, and the last named let himself out and had the batsmen guessing. ,u ,,,ht,,.,t,,
 A foul tip from one of Cllrkson's s fast ones ,rapped Mcclure on the ankle and raised big lump. Griffith made his pitchers conform strictly to the requirements of the balk rule. There were differences of opinion as to the requirements. and more than one American league pitcher this sea son is likely to have balk called on him unexpectedly as result of JOhn- sons order to enforce the rule.
 The New YOrks had fielding practice yesterday morning. Aleck Smith had on uniform and took part in the practice. First Baseman Chase is still among the absent ones. Games with the New Orleans team will be played on Thursday, Friday, Satur- day and Sunday.
