DRESSING AND KEEPING MUTTON
Some Suggestions for the Home
Handling of the Meat.

In dressing mutton always bear In
mind that you should not feed your
wether for "a hours prior to slaughter
ing. " is not generally known. but
undigested food is apt to flavor the
flesh. Keep this point constantly in
mind. Do not try fancy methods in
dressing your mutton. Have your car
cass perfectly plain. 1t is a good rule
to kill the sheep in November, at
least wait until after fly time.
Do not hire a butcher to kill your
sheep. Do 1t yourself. After slaugh-
tsving hang the carcass in your cellar.
II the latter will keep bread without
its molding, you may rest assured
that your mutton will not spoil Hang
the mutton, do not lay it down. II
hung properly with no two carcasses
touching, and with the loose pieces
drawn back so that the air can thor.
oughly permeate the surface, these
carcasses should keep till April. At
any rate, do not take it down for cut.
ting up until one month after putting
1t in the cellar; prefer six weeks.
There is, says Orange Judd Farmer, a
chemical change in the flesh of the
sheep within six weeks from the time
OF killing. You will find after that
time the mutton will not stick to the
knife in handling the carcass.

only one Of the tricks Of the trade,
The hatchet-faced man l pose looking
straight into the camera in a full

become more feshy in this pose. The
person with fat, round face l pose
so that soft shadows veil either side
Of the face, which has tendency to
make the features more clear cut
and handsome.
Il often have subjects with crook

should be frankly attached-that is,
the camera should be pointed directly
at the crook, which reduces 1t. II

MODERN LIFE TOO STRENUOUS.
Some Amount Of ldIeness an Absolute
Necessity.

The Practitioner sounds a note of
warning against the dangers of the
strenuous life: 1t is good to be strenu.
GUS, but it is also good, as the poet
tells us, to play the fool, or at any
rate to be idle at the right time and
IN the right way. This is just what
the strenuous man forgets, and the
consequence is too often premature
hreak6Own--a common event in the
storm and stress Of modern life. The
strenuous life is helping to overcrowd
our asylums. This, in The Practi.
toners view, consists not in a change
Of excitement or in hard work dis.
. guised as game, but in that "genu.
Inc srepose of which Charles James
Fox, strenuous as he was in politics
and in rlay, was thinking when he
said there was nothing so pleasant as
to lie under a shady tree with a book
except to do so without a book"

WHAT EXPERIMENTS PROVED.
Az to Balanced and Unbalanced Ra.
tioas for Cattle.

Howard R. Smith, professor of ami
nal husbandry, University of Ne
braska, in his book on Profitable
Stock Feeding" says:
our stable experiment stations have
conducted numerous feeding expert
ments with animals, in which bal
anced and unbalanced rations have
been compared. At the Kansas expe-
riment station, corn, prairie hay and
corn slower, combination having a
nutritive ration Of Ill, was fed to
steers in contrast with balanced ra-
ton having a nutritive ration Of 1855.
The average of three trials showed
that 2S per cent. less feed was re-
CURED for a given increase in weight
with the balanced ration.
TN an experiment at the Nebraska
experiment station, with yearling
steers, it was found that, to make the
same gain, 20 per cent less food was
required with corn and alfalfa than
with corn and prairie hay, and the al
falfa was no more expensive.
I'm another lot where oil meal, q
rich protein food, was added to corr
and prairie hay, % per cent. totaI
food was required for a given gain.
The experiment stations of Illinois
and Missouri have recently shown the
advantage Of corn and clover ovel
corn and timothy in as striking con
trast.
Nor have the tests been confined
to fattening cattle alone. Expert
ments with sheep, swine and dair!
COWS show that much larger returns
are made when the rati0ns are com
pounded in way that will furnish tn,
nutrients in proportion somewha
near the requirements as determined
by scientific methods"
