Mutton A FavOrite Dish.

Travellers say that mutton is
the favorite dish of the English
people.
The fine pasture and grazing
facilities of England, New Zea-
land and Australia, from which
most of the England mutton
comes, undoubtedly accounts for
this condition.
However, the United States is
fast becoming a great mutton
raising country. During the
past ten years wonderful prog
ress has been made in the scien-
tific feeding and handling of
sheep in America, which is now
producing as fine a grade of nut,
ton as any country in the world.
Feeding has a great deal to do
with the flavor of mutton, Short
grass of the meadow of clover
filed, or the fine shrubbery of
the mountains, makes the best
feed.
In the hotels, cafes, and homes
of this country. mutton. shares
prestige with beef and pork as a
favorite and delicious dish for
the table.
While mutton is very high in
food value for manual work, on
the other hand it is the most
valuable OF all foods for people
of sedentary habits, on account
of its being so easily digested.
Women, children and profess
sional people should find in NUT
ton an ideal food.

Railroads Would
Save Calves

Slaughter for veal chief rea-
son for high cost of beef.
The railroads in Kansas will
ask the legisture this winter to
enact a law to discourage the
slaughter of calves IN this state.
Thousands of farmers in Kan
sas sell their calves to the butch.
ers as soon as they are big
enough to kill. This has reduced
the number of full grown cattle
on the market and in a few years
will set Kansas back as a beef
state. With the calves butcher
ed the state has little to look for
ward to in the cattle business.
1t is the plan of the railroads
to prevent the whole marketing
of calves and premature cattle
generally for the meat food
supply. Not only will the rail
roads work for state laws, but a
federal order will be solicited.
The railroads already have the
support of many of the cattle
man, Kansas City Star.

Peabody & Co. of Boston. Tn,
time for deposits may be extend
ed thirty days in an effort to ge
IN as much more of the stockas
possible before the new company
known as the Kansas City Stock
Yards Company of Maine, takes
active control.
1t is said on good authority
that the leading packers of the
West, the Armours, the Swifts
and the Cudahy and Morris peo-
pie, are the organizers of the
new company. Extensive i'm
provements that will make this
the largest live stock center in
the world are said to be contem-
plated.
THE LAST INDEPENDENT YARDS.
The Kansas City Stock Yards
Company owns the only large
Independent stock yards in this
country. The stock yards in
Chicago, Omaha and East st.
Louis are owned by the packers.
Live stock men say the packers
have been discriminating largely
against the Kansas City stock
yards because they were indie
pendent and have been diverting
an immense business to the stock
yards they own in other cities,
much to the detriment of the
market here. 1t is cited that
this year three-fourths of the
cattle from the San Luis Valley
have been sent by the packers to
their yards in East st. Louis and
that business would have come to
Kansas City if the yards here
had been owned by the packers.
A factor that hurried the
shareholders in making up their
minds to accept the reorganiza-
ton plan of the packers was that
the packers have threatened to
build a rival stock yards here
in fact, extensive hog yards
have been operated here by the
packers, in which from } to Z
hogs have been handled
annually, independent of the
Kansas City stock yards, when
the organization plan has been
put through.
The majority of the stock of
the Kansas City Stock Yards
Company has been held for many
years by the Charles Francis
Adams interests of Boston and
it is said that one of the reasons
why the holders of the stock,
said to be So per cent of the
consented to the new re-
was the threat of a
rival stock yards owned by the
packers.

A good pair or eyes ana sharp knife
may be able to distinguish with COZ
siderable accuracy as between 4 dead
and live germ in a kernel of corn
but the combination falls down when II
comes to telling kernel with Il vigOr
GUS germ from one in which the germ
is weak. Herein lies the chief argu-
ment in favor of the test box. which
shows plainly what kernels are dead
and what are strong and weak
Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn breed
ing plot. but none of them is so busy
that he can't take time to select the
best hundred ears in his supply of
seed and. after testing to be sure of
its vitality. plant in a plot on the
south or west sides of his main field.
Doing this will not only simplify the
matter OF selecting the seed ears next
fall. but the location of tbe best and
most thrifty type of corn in the posi-
tion mentioned will mean that much
of the remainder of the field will be
fortified by the tasSels on these bet
ter stalks.

CATTLE In ARIZONA ARE
MAKING MILLIONAIRES
Prices Are Going Up And
One County Alone Ships
Out 100000 Worth
of Stock.

r In ten months of this year, VI
to November 1, cattlemen of Gil
> la county have placed on the mar
= ket So, 100000 worth of stock
: making a record that has moi
been equaled in recent years.
High prices have to some ex-
tent been responsible for the in
crease in business. but that more
attention is being given to the
industry than formerly is largely
responsible for it. Cattlemen
assert that Arizona cannot be
excelled by any other state or
country for breeding purposes
because of the mild winters,
early spring, wide ranges, scar
city of storms and the accessible
ity of any part of the great
range.
During the last five years the
business has almost doubled, and
it is believed that within another
five years the state will be far
away in the lead in this line.
Cattle are more scarce now in
proportion to the population of
the United States than they have
been in twenty years, and the
prices paid are higher than in
any year during that period. Ar
iona cattle are selling now for
6 cents on the hoof, and by spring
it is believed they will bring z to
p cents.
The average fed steer of the
Arizona range weighs about 800
pounds, and is therefore worth
about $48. The price will be
near $50 within few months if
conditions continue to improve.
Cattlemen all over the South
west assert that this has been
one of the record breaking years
in the industry. More men have
made clear money than ever be-
fore and some of the large deal
