of the city for two hours-and it is
not the first time. This thing has
occurred near the Aldine three
times this year, and with little, if
any, satisfaction from the city
authorities.
sEThe Business League of your
city is a most worthy institution
for advancement. 1t will do good
work, but it absolutely cannot live
down a bad precedent set by the
city officials failing to do their duty

a little diligence you can present
him both.

sheep breeders cannot produce an ami
NAL Of the breeders ideal type and still
retain the vigorous constitution neces-
sary in a healthy breeding animal. He
continues:
In our locks we must have head
and neck. brisket, shank and side meat
in order to get that strong constitution
sess for the development Of the more
expensive cuts of the butchers ideal.
and in order to bring the breeder and
the consumer nearer one ideal it is
necessary for us as breeder to see that
our mutton sheep come as near the
butchers idea as is consistent without
fmpairing the constitution OF our
breeding f1ocks
I'm order to obtain these results we
must see that our mutton sheep possess
straight backs and under line, with
the ribs we'll sprung and a broad, thick
loin. with full round quarters.
AS a rule a sheep possessing these
points you will generally find evenly
covered with flesh or muscle from crop
to tail. A sheep hat is u%nevenly COW
cred with besh or is lumpy along the
back there always has a weakness Of
the muscles.
Therefore. we must educate our
selves to see that our mutton sheep
possess the evenly covered backs Of
muscle or flesh. and having that 'sensi-
tive ouch known to all good judges,
with FULL, round quarters. thus endeav-
Oring to get as much Of the higher
priced cuts as possible without impair
ing in any way the constitution OF our
breeding focks."
