WELL ENDOWED BY NATURE
Mountain Goat Thoroughly Equipped
for Life In High Attitudes Amid
Snow and Rocks.

"The mountain goat Is equally at
home on rock. Ice. snow or meadow,
and 1t lives In bands Of two to twenty"
says DR.. William T. Hornaday. writing
OF "The Rocky Mountain Goat ut
Home" In Boys Life. ats big black
hoofs have chisel edges for Ice and a
center Of rubber cushion for slippery
rock. In steep climbing the front Of
the hoof digs In like garden trowel,
and In going down steep places the
rear dewdaws make wonderfully effec-
tive brakes. The heavy coat of fine
and dense white wool is impervious to
dry cold. but the wet and cold rains Of
New York winters quickly put noun
tain goats down and out. In the East
they must be sheltered from all cold
rains. or they contract pneumonia and
die. OF dry cold they can endure any
amount.
"In the matter of food, we must say
that the goat Is herbivOrous, and ex-
plain that It feeds on great variety
OF mountain plants. according to sea
son. On the SUBMITS they find very
little real grass, but they find pull
satilla and other queer pasture plants
that are literally Just as good In the
spring they feed on the wild onions
that grow abundantly in their home
pastures, which imparts to their flesh
strong onion flavor"

KNOW NOTHING OF DYSPEPSIA
EskImos Apparently Able TO Digest
Anything In tho Form Of Food,
Without Cooking II.

There Is at least one native race OF
America that Is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The Eskimo seems to defy
all laws In this relation and to thrive.
He eats until he Is satisfied, and 1t
takes much to satisfy him, II, indeed,
he ever is satisfied. He eats as long
as there is shred of the feast before
him. His capacity Is limited only by
the supply.
The Eskimo, 1t further appears, can
make no mistake In the manner of
cooking his food for the very simple
reason that he does not cook 1t. Nor,
so far as the blubber or fat of the Arc
tic Is concerned, is he worried about
his manner of eating 1t. Indeed, he
may be said not to eat 1t at all. He
cuts 1t into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strip down his throat as one might
lower rope into well. Notwith-
standing all this, the Eskimo does not
suffer from indigestion. He can make
a good meal off the flesh and skin of
the walrus, provision so hard and grit
ty that In cutting up the animal the
knife must be continually sharpened.
The teeth of little Eskimo child
will, 1t is said by those who know,
meet In bit Of walrus skin as the
teeth of one Of our own children would
meet In the flesh Of an apple. although
the hide of the walrus is from half an
inch to an inch In thickness and bears
considerable resemblance to the hide
Of an elephant. The child Of the Arc
tic will bite 1t and digest it and never
know what dyspepsia means.

Was Here Before Columbus.

On farm near Roosevelt, N. NJ, Is
an Irritation ditch, or rather raised
irrigation ditch, which is one of the
oldest evidences Of mans inventive
powers on this continent. II was built
centuries before Columbus learned
navigation. The walls of the canal
are believed to have been made Of sed-
iment taken from nearby spring, a
claylike material that exposure to the
air has made as hard as stone.
The making Of two blades of grass
to grow where but one grew before
through irrigation Is very ancient
practice. 1t was carried on crudely
by the Egyptians at least as early as
1000 B. C.-Popular Science Monthly.

HOUSEWIVES BUY LAMB AND
MUTTON UNWIsELY.

The Eat More Lamb campaign which
Is being conducted throughout the
country at the present time before col
leges. domestic science schools, wom-
ems clubs, various institutions, public
schools, meat markets, etc., has
brought before the general public the
value Of lamb as food product, but
especially has 1t demonstrated the
value and economy Of the cheaper cuts
of lamb which have been neglected. It
has been contention of the retailer
for years that great part Of the
fore quarter-the neck. shoulder,
shank and breast-must be sold at a
loss or eventually reach the scrap or
bone box.
Some retail butchers bone out these
cheap fOre-Quarter cuts, put them
through the meat grinder, season them
and mold them up into lamb patties.
putting a strip of bacon around each
one, leave them In the cooler over
night and sell all Of them next day at
good prices. Many butchers could sell
more than they can supply. The butch
err has thus turned into an asset or
profitmaker that portion which has
heretofore been considered loss.
Steaks and roasts can be had from
the shoulder, lamb rolls from the neck.
breast and shoulder, and neck slices
are obtained by cutting the neck in
sections crosswise, so that the meat has
the appearance of chops and is a very
inviting dish when used as stew or
potted lamb en- casserole. The cheap
er cuts of lamb are made from the
breast, shoulder, shank and neck
which combined are about Is per cent
Of the lamb.
Lamb is healthful food for all peo-
pie. It Is very nutritious. wholesome
and palatable and In caloric value It Is
equal or superior to any other meat.
The boned and rolled shoulder men,
toned above Is used for roasting pur-
poses; It can also be cut to any de-
sired weight or can be sliced into
Saratoga chops.
United States government statistics
tell us that each year the average
housewife buys for every person in
her household only about 8 pounds of
lamb as compared with about II
pounds Of pork and 81 pounds Of beef.
II all American families used lamb

than 20 pounds Of lamb annually per

NO STEER WITHOUT GOOD MEAT
At LOW PRICE.

WANTED-A steer composed entire
" of loins and ribs.-H. G. L.
Unfortunately. "there amt no such
animal" If a porterhouse steer could
be developed by q live stock Luther
Burbank, we could all have porter
house or sirloin steaks and rolled
roasts from the first and second ribs
next to the loin, and therefore most
expensive, as your butcher will tell
you.
Nearly everybody wants high-grade
cuts. but there aren't enough ribs and
loins to go around. These cuts COM
pose but 81 per cent of the carcass,
the loin constituting Is per cent.
What's the answer? IF people would
buy more chucks-they make excellent
steaks-or briskets and clods (all fore
quarter cuts) there would be cheaper
sirloin and porterhouse steaks. Ask
your butcher or food economist about
the possibilities of the fore quarter,
also cheap cuts from the hind quarter.
Then there is the flank Ever eat
good flank steak? 1t possesses a flavor
that cannot be duplicated. The full
flank composes 4 per cent Of the beef
carcass, the square-cut chuck about
"a per cent.
In New York and other Eastern cit
les far removed from the packing
house center, ribs and loins can be
sold at lower prices than in Illinois, be-
cause of the heavy demand by the for
eign-born population for rounds,
chucks, rumps and other cuts less pop
uIar I'm the West. The least expen-
sive part of the beef carcass is the
shank, which is excellent for stews
and soups. The round will supply
roasts as well as steaks. Pot roasts,
steaks and braisng meat are fur
nished by the rump at medium ex-
pense. Chucks supply roasts, steaks
and stews. The shoulder clod, another
economical cut, is used by well-taught
cooks for steaks and pot roasts. There
is n large variety of extra portions
that many housewives know little
about, such as the heart, liver, kidneys,
lungs and sweetbreads.
But you must know something about
beef cuts to know what to buy and
how to buy. Then you can neglect the
costly steaks for the time and return
to them when the price has been equal
lied by the more general buying Of the
less-familiar cuts.
Woman purchasing agents of the
home, In learning more about the va
rlous cuts and their culinary posi-
bilities, will have impressed upon them
