After an assertion and denial from
the governor cabinet, Eberhart comes
out with the statement that he will cut
loose from the moorings Of the Taft
candiaucv,and paddle his own canoe.
This is :t,lzen by the LaFolette fol.
lowers as an admitted weakness Of the
president, and by tie opponents of the
governor as an admitted weakness On
his part. With Ed. Smith,, who has
always t"en back OF the governor,
looking after Taft delegates in this
state, it looks pretty much like some
thing doing. to the delight OF the anti

DRESSING AND SHIPPING VEAL


Tue best age to market veal calves is
when they are about six weeks old and
weigh from 30: to: 125 pounds, dressed.
Young calves weighing less than 60
pounds-or, in Minnesota. when less
than weeks o1d-are condemned as
unit tor food Veal must. be- we'll
fattened to bring the top market price.
Skim. milk calves never sell as we'll as
whole milk-fed calves. .v.. :: )
In dressing veal calves, select Q dry,
clean place, where the calf can be sus-
pended by means. of pully and rope
attached to it's hind legs Stun it
With a hammer, and then stick with q
skinning kuife, just in front of the
Drisker, opening up the throat aloug
the midllne. If the calf is hung up
for bleeding. there Is no danger of blood
going back into the chest-cavity and
soiling: the carcass on the inside. u; ;,ss
Remove the head by :skinning; on
each side down to the throat. Remove
it from the body at the *tatlas joint. :,
where it can be easily taken of. Skin
out the front and mind legs, up to the
knee and hook joint, where the legs
should be cut off,. Kemeve the internal
organs by opening tho midline the full
length. from top to bottom. Remove
every thing except the liver and kid
neys. Veal with the liver removed
often sells one-half cent below market
quotation. Dr. not wash the inside OF
the carcass, but take a warm, damp
cloth and wipe out all PARTICLES Of
blood. ..A.- -. Ill.,.
Spread the opening in the carcass,

cool. Every shipper of veal should be
careful about this point, as much veal
is spoiled because 1t is not properly
cooled before it is shipped. A.. cold
cellar, or the top of the opening iii q
we'll. is good place. After it has
been thoroughly cooled, prepare for
shipment.
j Either wrap the carcass in burlap, or
sew up tightly the opening in the mid
line with some cord. The hide, which
has been removed from the head and
legs, should be TIED securely to the
throat and shanbs, 80 as to keep the
carcess from gathering dirt. The
Minnesota law requires that all veal
transported from one place to another
must be protected from dust, flies, or
other 'vermin if it is to be offered for
sale. i. -
Z. :Fasten the shipping tag, with the
name and address Of the one to whom
it is to be shipped, plainly written,
securely on the carcass. Also, be sure
to put the name and address of shipper
on the tag. - #H
Veal should always be shipped by,
express, fast refrigerator freight-ser-
VICE can be had. Manage to- get the
veal to market about the middle Of the
week, because on the last day and first
two days OF the week there il not
much demand fol- veal Most retail
dealers buy their supply of veal fon

The Mans Mistake,

.Jut of loyalty to his own sex the
manager of the wOman's suit depart
ment discharged his young woman
stenographer and hired man. The
first batch of letters dictated to the
man were written to about a hundred
old customers, whom he invited to ex-
anime privately lot of exclusive gar
ments before they were placed on sale.
The day after the letters were mailed
the women flocked into the store. but
the fire that burned in their eyes was
the fire Of the avenger rather than OF
the bargain hunter. One word which
each woman had underlined in her
letter explained their wrath. The gar
ments, so the manager had meant to
say, had been designed for women OF
stock figure, such as they possessed.
but the male stenographer had drawn
on the alphabet and had written 1t
'stocky."
"No woman on earth would have
been guilty Of such a mistake"
growled the manager.
The next week the girl stenOgrapher
had her job Observation-Disclosures Led

settled some years before his death.
His readings (1858-69, had brought in
about $4,000. 1t is forgotten that
Dickens began life without one penny

gave away or left was earned by him
