It's pleasure to tell our readers
about Cough Cure like DIR. Shops.
For years DR.. Shoop has fought against
the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other
unsafe ingredients commonly found in
Cough remedies DR.. Shoop, it seems,
has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug
Law recently enacted, for he has work
ed along similar lines many years. For
nearly 20 years DIR. Shoop's Cough Cure
containers have had warning printed
on them against Opium and other
narcotic poisons. He has thus made it
possible for mothers to protect their
children by simply insisting on having

HANDLING WINTER LAMBS.
come Valuable Points on Dressing
and Marketing Them.


In no case can lambs be sent to the
market alive. The express charges
would "eat them up" They must be
killed at home and sent dressed. Each
market has a fashion Of its own. Bos-
ton wants them fully dressed, entirely
Invested of skin. while New York
wants them with the skin on, but with
the heads and feet off. Early in the
season lamb that weighs, dressed,
about thirty pounds If very fat viii
meet the markets demands, but later
they should run up to thirty-fve or
forty pounds to top the market.
In killing the least amount Of suffer-
ing should be inflicted. This Is accom-
plished by bringing the lamb gently
into the killing trough. placing one
hand ON the under jaw, the other on
top of the head, and giving a quick
twist OF the hands, suddenly breaking
the neck. This stops all sensation.
The throat should then be cut, sever
ing the jugular vein. SO as to cause
rapid bleeding Next skin the inside
OF the hind legs and down the belly
as far as the brisket and on each side,
back even with the middle of the side.
Cut off the feet at the hoofs. Cut OF
the head. This is required by an or
dinance in New York city. TherS
seems to be no good reason for 1t, as
the lamb sells for no less, and the
meat on the head is fine enough 10
make two or three good meals.
Dressing Fss Market.
Tie the hind legs together andlhang
on hook so as to bring the lambseven
with the killers shoulders. Open and
remove the caul carefully and put it
into pocket made by separating the
skin from one side of the body little.
Remove the bowels, but If the weather
Is cold leave the haslets. If the wealth

weather during the summer and late
fall, the trees grew very rank, put

very tender, and when weighted down
with the ice made them brittle. Many
fruit men fear that there will not be
a half crop of fruit in Oklahoma the
coming season.
