THE LEG OF MUTTON

The leg of mutton is one Of the most
popular cuts Of the sheep carcass as it
is thick and meaty. 1t is largely used
for roasting, though it is also sought
for boiling purposes and for steak.
The steaks should be cut from the loin
end or front of the leg. In case leg
the family, few steaks may be cut
Of mutton makes too large a roast for
from it. In this way leg of mutton
can be used to better advantage than
if the whole leg were roasted A leg
from an old, thin animal should be
boiled rather than roasted.
While the leg Of mutton is one of the
higher-priced cuts for which there is a
rather steady demand, in economy it
compares favorably with some of the
cheaper cuts owing to the relatively
small percentage or bone in trimmed
leg.
These and many other suggestions
for use in connection with butcherins
sheep, cutting carcasses, and the use
of mutton, are stated in Extension
Bulletin As which may be obtained free
by addressing the Office Of Publica-
tions, University Farm, St. Paul..

bandman, University Farm, St. Paul.

sTOCKER VS.. FEEDER
stockers Are Cheaper to Buy and
Cheaper to Keep &"s

Stockers are much easier to DUR
chase than feeders, because the latter
are more in demand.
Not only can stockers be purchased
more cheaplyS' than feeders, but they
can be kept very cheaply until ready
for the feed lot. The stockers are
given nothing during the winter ex-
cept the waste left by the feeders, and
two bushels Of corn daily to keep them
in condition. If the feeding period is
estimated at 100 days, only 800 bush
els Of corn are needed to- supplement
the waste. AS far as the cost of pas
turing is concerned, it has been esti-
mated that when rent is placed at 81
an acre, it will not cost more than
$40 to pasture a stocker from the
middle Of May until the beginning of
December. 1t is doubtful if more
economical method of wlntering and
summering carload of stockers could
be devised.
Great care should be exercised in
the purchase Of stockers to obtain ami
mails Of a profitable type. Steers which
are short in the legs, deep in the body,
and which possess good frames and
wide, short heads are desirable.-Ray

KEEP YOUR STOVE BUSY WHILE
IT IS HOT

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, Mary Hamilton, Talbot
writes an article showing how econ
omical housewives can reduce waste in
their kitchens by saving coal. Follow
ing is al extract from the article:
"Not only by studying thoroughly
the manipulation Of the drafts can
the housewife economize on coal; she
can do much by planning her cook
ing so the stove can be utilized for
more than one thing at time. For
instance, on Monday, which in most
households is wash-day, a constant
fire is needed so the oven can be ut1-
lied for dinner and supper without
disturbing the top, Of the stove. Have
roasted meats and baked potatoes,
baked pudding or pies; while On IRON
ing-day cakes, buns and other food
rich in" sugars should be baked as soon
as possible after the fire is fixed IN
the morning, as they require slow
oven; then the bread, which should be
raising while this baking is going on,
can 60 in the oven, which by this time
will have reached a good steady
heat'

ALFALFA IN MINNESOTA

The year 1913 has been very salts
factory year in Minnesota. It has de-
monstrated beyond any question of
doubt that Minnesota can compete sue
cessfully with any other state in the
Union in the production of corn and
alfalfa, the two greatest feed crops
known to the agriculturist. In nearly
every county in Minnesota from two
to four excellent crops Of alfalfa have
been harvested on from one to several
fields. Nearly every farmer in the
state has seen alfalfa growing this
year, and is thoroughly convinced that
he can grow it on his own farm. Those
who know the alfalfa plant and the
State of Minnesota believe there is no
question but that 4a1fa can be grown
successfully on any land in Minnesota
that will grow corn. With corn and
alfalfa as an established part Of the
agriculture of the State, there is little
question but that the future for agri'
culture in Minnesota is bright, and Of
fers as good opport:--ities for success
full farming as are offered in any state

LUNGPY MILK

Lumpy-milk is frequently due to in
lection with germs which gain en-.
trance either through the milk ducts
in the teats or are carried to the nd.
der in the circulation from other por-
tions of the body. Excessive feeding
with large grain rations seems to
have a part in causing the trouble, in
some cases. In the absence of com
petent local veterinary help, give a
moderately light, laxative diet, with a
reasonable amount of exercise. Re
duce the grain feed temporarily at
least and give the udder long con-
tinued hand rubbing and gentle mas
sage. A mild physic may be very
helpful. The dose may be from one.

HOG CHOLERA NOTES

Cholera has made its appearance in
more than sixty counties in Minnesota
Almost 900 hogs have been used at
the State Serum Plant, at University
Farm, this year, in the production and
testing OF serum.
Reports recently received concerning
results of the vaccination Of three lots
of hogs early in the summer indicate
that l,l4S hogs were treated with sta
ton serum, the serum-virus (double)
method being used, by veterinarians
of the State Live Stock Sanitary board
without a single case of cholera devel.
oping.
What appear to be some rather au.
thentic figures gathered in Yellow
Medicine county show that about 20
per cent of the hogs were saved in
herds where serum was used, the ser
UNI coming from several sources,
whereas in herds where no serum was
used, Or where some other treatment
was employed, about 81 per cent of
the hogs died.
If the hog -raisers Of Minnesota
could be assured Of an adequate sup
ply of serum, there is no reason why
this state should not rapidly push
forward into the front ranks as a pork
producing state
More drastic laws should be enact
ed, and then rigidly enforced, compel
ling hog owners to properly dispose
of the carcasses of hogs dead from
cholera, and to strictly observe the
quarantine regulations issued by the
State Live Stock Sanitary board

SOUNDS A GOOD DEAL LIKE
MINNESOTA

Indianapolis News.-We do not sup
pose that the insurgents had any ex>
pectation Of winning their first battle
But they put up good fight in many
localities, and have already demon
strated that there is widespread dis
satisfaction with the present manage
ment Of the democratic party, as in
deed there ought to be. When the
present state administration took
charge of affairs it found the Taggart
machine firmly intrenched in power.
The chance to smash it after the great
reverse that it suffered in the state
convention Of 1910 was not improved.
From that day onward the gang has
been "coming back'. And now, as
two years ago, it is in full control
Of the party's machinery.
1t is not going to be easy to dis
lodge it. But the men all over the
state who are arrayed against it are
in deadly earnest, and they know that
they have good cause, know, too,
that the people are with them. They
ought to, as, of course, they will, go
to work in every congressional district
and ever county to build up all organi-
:zation, to do battle with the machine
2 years hence. The party in this state
must be redeemed if it is ever to rep
resent the principles and aspirations
of the democrats Of Indiana. It is
humi]iating to have to admit that
Crawford Fairbanks is today probably
the most powerful man in the counsels
Of the democratic party. He ought
not to have any influence at all in
that party, OF any other.
The fight against the gang will go
on, because it must 60 on. There
is no possibility Of evading it. The
democratic party in Indiana must be
one thing or the other. It must stand
with Tammany and Charlie Murphy OF
it must stand with Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Bryan. All the forces of the day,
except those that rule in practical
politics, are working against the pres
ent democratic organization. They
must be actively enlisted on the side
of decent political management. Fol-
the whole organization is an anti Will
son organization. It is shameful that
the democratic party of Indiana, which
is, as far as the rank and file are con.
cerned, Wilson party, should be thus
misrepresented. It is for the demo
Gratis of Indiana to say whether this
disgraceful condition of things shall
continue. The party is losing votes
every day-as the vote for Bell in
this city showed. It will continue to
lose them unless it cleans house. Gov.
errment by the bosses and interests
must 60. Is the democratic party of
Indiana to go with it--as the republi.
can party did,. ,:.,.,s-. .<..,,
