Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1906-08-16

cipal slaughtering establishments
were opened in 1888, which took the
place of nearly 1000 private slaugh-
ter houses. In the United States
commercial consolidation has greatly
lessened the number of small slaugh-
ter houses, the concentration making
possible, if properly conducted, a sys-
tenn of government inspection.
The packing industry in this coun-
try may be traced back to the seven
teenth century and to New England,
when and where large quantities of
pork were packed in barrels to be
sent out for foreign trade. The west
now leads in this now gigantic indus
try, the present tendency being to
carry on the business nearer the cat
tie raising districts. The first pack
ing house in the west was located at
Cincinnati, established in 1918. This
city continued to lead in the indus
try for a number of years, but Chi
cage came to the fore, and other
towns forged ahead; Milwaukee, Kan
sas City, st. Louis and Omaha.
Probably the first attempt made
to regulate the conduct Of places

sleepy Policeman,s Mistake.

An urban councillor of Milton, Sit
tingbourne, England, got into a com
partment at Barking in which a po-
liceman and a prisoner were travel
ing.
Presently the policeman fell asleep
and when the train reached Plaistow
the prisoner, failing to arouse his Gus
todian, quietly got out. When the po-
liceman woke up he mistook the urban
councillor for his prisoner and tried
to force him out to the platform. The
councillor resisted, and the train went
on to Bromley-by-Bow.
Here the policeman succeeded in
hauling the victim out and took him
back to Plaistow by train. After a
long cross-examination the councillor
was liberated and reached home by
cab in the small hours of the morning.

Latest Table Delicacy.

"Hothouse lamb" is beginning to
appear on the menus at many OF the
.irst-class hotels. A quarter Of hot
house lamb can now be bought, II one
is willing to pay four or 1--WE dollars
for 1t. But up to a week or 80 ago
the butchers refused to divide the
~carcasses, finding ready market for all
Ehey could get at from $25 to $50
apiece. AS such a lamb seldom weighs
more than % pounds, including pelt
and head, 1t makes the meat come
pretty high. "Hothouse lamb is an
answer to a demand for a new kind
Of edible animal" said a butcher, but
it's invention was almost an accident.
A farmer out in Kansas conceived the
idea that an animal could be pushed
in its growth the same as a plant or
flower, so ne took ten ewes and put
them in the cellar Of a stable, keeping
the place at a uniformly high tenn
perature. When the lambs were born
he increased the heat and fed them
all they could possibly eat. The
lambs developed rapidly and were
ready for market six weeks ahead Of
those born and reared under ordinary
conditions"

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambery that Engineer B%alderauer,
Of Salzberg, has invented a balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains in
the n%eighborhood of that German city.
1T consists Of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened to the side Of a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb, except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon is to float
about 35 feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail. The conductor can, at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent IS
caused by pressure of water, which
is poured into a large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast. Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center of the car to a regulator of
speed, which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out of existence.

ago there were not more than 27
public slaughter houses in the United
Kingdom, and some of these were in
small towns. About so towns have in
Cured debt for the construction Of
abattoirs, and perhaps 20 more nave
established them without borrowing
money for them but many of these
are small communities. The annual
receipts for so of these public abat-
toirs do not aggregate more than
800 1000, so that the business from
the point of view of the Chicago
packers is insignificant. The bulk
of the slaughtering for London, with
it's immense population, is done in
private slaughter houses under fair
ly close inspection. At Deptford and
Islington the Strengthening is super
vised so Systematically by officials of
the city corporation that the business
is considered semi-public, although
not in a strict sense municipalized.
Inspection is virtually the only safe
guard against improper food supplies
in the metropolis. Glasgow has a
series of slaughter houses at the for,
eign cattle wharf and elsewhere, and
Edinburgh and Dundee also have a
municipal system of abattoirs admir-
ably conducted. Manchester, Leeds,
Brighton, Blacllpool, Exeter, Reading
and other English cities have NUM-
Cipal slaughter houses; but the sys-
tenn is not yet general. although re-

The Review of Reviews calls atten-
tion to a visit recently made by mem.
bers of the London County Council
to Paris in a study of the model abat-
toirs of that city. 1t is Of interest
to note that private slaughter houses
have been done away with in Paris
since 1918. The city of Paris own
and operates the Villette slaughter
houses. and in the Vuagirard district
is situated one other great municipal
abattoir. A large STAFF of veterinary
surgeons carries on the work of in
spection, which is done under the di-
rection of the prefecture of police.
In making comparisons between
the English and French inspection of
meats an observer asserts it Is impos-
sible for meat retailed in Paris to es-
cape inspection, as it frequently does
in London. In London the stan of
inspectors is too small, and detection
of disease is left to inexperienced
slaughterers. In Paris many in
spoctors are well qualified for their
work. The system of inspection, as
carried on at the public abattoir in
Paris, is thus described in a London
publication:

AS fashion killed woman's artistic sense?
Yes, in woman and hfe-man has been so long in the.

H�h Modern art is merely budness-one vast department
sNIRs store from private show to bargain cellar.
$VS Manners?
m Our manners are those of the Place de la Concorde
MI on execution day.
We have guilotined good taste and set up Barter as
our goddess of liberty, equality and the-deviltake-the o-hasnt-
any-money.
1t is no longer fashion that makes commerce, but commerce
fashion.
The rise and fall of a fashion wave is interesting.
1t generally takes about twice twelve months.
At first designed by one of the great European artists for some
ihaute or dem-mondaine, or some actress of the Coincide Franchise,
1T is then assumed by a few eegantes, as soon as noted in society is
seized upon by all degrees of modHtes, till it descends to the ready
ito-wear" stage, and finally reaches the great mob of camp followers
who never take up a fashion till every one else is abandoning it.
A few years ago I noticed that pigs were appearing on the Paris
lboulevards. Soon they dangled from every waist, filled the shops Of
Ion cuff buttons. Not the dramatic brste of the Bavarian boar in
jblackened silver one buys on the way to Oberammergau, but The
sodden beast of the stye-just pig.
Returning to New York I found it pigless. Nearly a year passed
when one day I saw a pig parasol on Fifth avenue-he had arrived.
The litter soon f~onowed-whole shiploads of these little art emigrants
that should have been met at Ellis Island by those societies so anxious
to reform our city and deported.
But women opened their arms, first the foolish, then the sensible
and soon we were all pigs. Then some new monster arose and the
artpig wave passed west.
No wonder the frightened z Gan takes refuge in being negative
and "ladyhke"-but to the peril of her soul. There is some hope for
the woman who makes mistakes, none for the woman who is afraid
to make them. Bad taste is but the expression of an intense unframed
feeling. A strong color sense that has not been guided. 1t can be
easily cultivated. No-taste is more difficult to awaken to the express
sion that must accompany growth.

a period of at least 100 years ago is meant. 1t is a somewhat popular
theme to discourse upon "the good old tines but on examination
they will not be found to stand close comparison with the present.
In the first place, the condition of the modern farm itself is far
superior to what it was 100 years ago. It is true that the virgin soil
of those days has been somewhat exhausted, and a much greater use
of fertilizer is required, but the average old New England farm was
farmers time was occupied in clearing his land and building stone
walls, while to-day there is little Of such work to be done.
The farmer of the oden time hoed his crop and pitched his hay
with rude hoes and forks, hammered out by hand by the village
blacksmith, and cut his hay and his wood with scythes and axes of
the same rude kind.
The modern farmer has his up-to-date, machine-made tools for
everything, and he cuts his hay and plows and cultvates his land
seated at ease upon the seat of his moving machine, sukey ploRI
cultyator, horse rake, planter, or some other particular machine ex-
acacty calculated to do the most work in the shortest time and with
the least expenditure of physical labor.
In his home and social relations also the modern farmer enjoys,
as a matter of course, comforts and luxunes of which his ~forefathers
never dreamed. Household furnishings ana equipments are as far
superior to those of old as are the implements he uses in his outdoor
work on the farm. The cook stove has replaced the open fireplace,
the faucet with running water, the old wei. sweep or wooden pump.
Bath rooms are no longer an unheard-of luxury, and the farm house
without its musical instrument of some kind is the exception.
The telephone has brought him into close touch with his neigh
Dor and the whole world, and the rural free delivery brings his mail
and the daily paper to his door, while in his grange he has oppor-
tunities for social and intellectual development far beyond anything
imagined even by his ancestors.
Electric roads spreading in every direction from the cities give
him easy and cheap communication with ceners OF trade, and he is
no longer an isolated being, but S becoming more and more an active
factor in the business and political life of the state and nation.
The growth Of the cities gives him greater markets near at hand,
and the government crop and market reports keep him posted upon
prices and conditions everywhere.
He has the benefit of the government experiment stations, with
their almost marvellous achievements in the development Of scientific
cultivation OF the soil, and the knowledge and skill of the whole world
are his almost for the asking.
Space forbhs further enumeration of the many advantages en-
joyed by the modern husbandman which his foreahers knew not, but
a ~ the foregoing, while far short of the total
A-.IA Gu catalogue Of them, will suffice to show my
reasons for my answer to the question.

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
sul to the body. Sailors on board OF
ships get scurvy when their supply OF
vegetable food is exhausted. The di-
gestive organs Of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and If we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for it
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron, starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert it into ~life-giving sub
stances with but little effort.
EGG-O-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof Of a
pudding and the proof Of EGG-O-SEE
is in the eating. EGG-O-SEB besides
being solid nourishment is most pail
atable. Every mouthful is a joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 1O-cent package Of EGG-O-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEB for a. while. They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
thov pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
raeBsge Of EGG-O-SEB. Have your
chiloren eat EGG-O-SEB. 1t is their
friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when
nothing else will taste good.
You try EGG-O-SEE and you can
deduct the cost from your doctors
