Two men can trim a lamb in
five minutes. An 80-pound untrimmed
lamb is worth from rs cents to $1.25
more than the same sized lamb left
untrimmed. This means that due to
the increased value of the lambs he
is marketing the farmer who spent
a few hours trimming his lambs last
spring is now realizing at least $500
per hour for his work.
Inquiries at leading markets of this
section indicate that about IS per
cent of the lambs received are un-
trimmed The buyers at these places
state that untrimmed lambs are seri-
ously handicapped because of the
filthy appearance, damaged pelt and
carcass, excess offal, and strongly
favored meat. They are discrimin-
ated against by the packers because
when placed on the hook they do not
have the neat, tidy appearance of the

trains on the Shenandoah Division I'M
der a new complete block system. The
new block system extends from
Hagerstown. Nd. to Winston-Salem.

The Shenandoah division. as this

efficiently managed for years and has
been unusually free from wrecks and
trouble of different kinds and 1t is ex-
pected that this Improvement will give
the travelling public a yet safer feel
ing in riding over this division.
The new system Will be used for
passenger trains only. 1t will require
the opening of two new telegraph
stations along the line and will neces-
state the addition of ten more tele-
graph operators.
The system already has been put
into service between Winston-Saleu

between Roanoke and Hagerstown will
be ready, according to the expecta-

That the cost of maintenance of the

to the fact that those in charge as

Those applying were of all sorts,
white and black mingling in the throng
that beseiged the doors of the COM

before they could be sold.
The example set yesterday by the
Phillips Company might well be pat
termed by other commission merchants,
some whom allow stuff to spoil while
there are many poor persons in the city
who would be glad to get II. The fact
that so many applied for the provisions
also shows that there are many to
whom such things come as real treat,
many who, even in these DAYS Of pros

the selfish and unthinking allow to
spoil rather than give away.
