In "buying meat it must also be borne in mind that the price of a certain cut is not alwajs a criterion of the food value furnished, nor even superiority of flavor. Take, for instance, the tenderloin, which is the most expOosive ol all cuts. While tnere is no doubt about its tenderness Its flavor is really nil and must ba enhauced in cookery by the juices from round steak or mushrooms, as well as variuus high spicings.

In selecting beef the followi points are to be considered: 1. Insist on seeing the carc-iss rnm which the meat is to cui. If It carries the stamp S. Iuj-p cteri and Passed" it is a guarantee rom the government that the meat is healthy. 2.

Cho jse fat beef. The fatter the beef the more tender. A prime plect of meat not only carries an outside covering of fat, but the lean will be marbled with smali speeds yellowish white fat. 3. Beef and mutton that have been hung some time and kept perfectly sweet will be much more tender.

Lamb and veal, being immature, spoil quickly aud should be quite fresh. Meat of any kind should have little odsr. It should be firm and dry When I have a sale I sell them. Usual terms of sale. help than they gave.

hood mnans danger without the dog wolf making his presence known and leading off the danger." He says that his dogs are at the present time trained to hunt opossums and coons, aud that were he to let them get in on one wolf chase It would spoil them for a week or more for hunting the smaller game because every time they were taken out they'd start looking for wolves. Aud once they're started to wolf chasing they seem to forget all about coons. and opossoms. Next moi th the wolf season will open for Mr. Brown and be has several invitations to go down to McLouth and show the people in that tghborhood how to chase wolves.

This winter Mr. Brown has captured nearly a hundred opossums. Some one stole 20 of the hides from him recently. He has also caught a number of coons, having brought three CJrcase to town Stturday. These he sold to darkeys around town.

The queerest part of the matter is that Mr. Brown does not eat any of the opossoms or coons that he kills. He bunts mainly because be enjoys the game, partly because it pays. It is a pleasqre to listen to his tales and to his observations of animal life. He knows what he is talking about and in his experience has fouud many old sayings coGcerning animals at fault.

He considers the wolf a very sagacious animal, and believes chasing them as good sport as a man could ask for. 2i miks norm of Cedar, CATtD OF THANKS Our heart felt thanks go out to our At Morldon on Monday FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th Oeglnutcg at 10 a. the followimr many friends for their kindness and descrloea property: 4 Head iloises and Mules Span sympathy in our bereavement in the loss of our mother, Mrs. Perry Brown.

The hog supply today is 12,000 head, market 5 higher, bulk of sales $8.10 to $8.65, weights below 200 pounds at $8.30 to $8.55. Receipts have failed to increase lately, although shippers have had every incentive to come forward during the past week, and dealers are more of the opinion that hogs are worth what they are costing.

Eastern orders are larger this week, and advices indicate that the crop has been marketed in the eastern states. Quality of arrivals is good, and bears more of the ear marks of the new crop than heretofore. Sheep and lambs are higher again this week, in spite of a liberal run each day, 10,000 here today. Top lambs reached $8.80 today, five cents better than jesterday, but there was quite a number of lambs at $8.35 to $8.75, yearlings up to $8.25, wethers worth $5.75 to $6 50, choice ewes today at $6 00. Sheep receipts are running ahead ot this period last year, the only class of live stock that does not show a loss in volume, but prices are holding up better on sheep and lamb than on anything else.

Band Makes Good. The home band made its initial appearance on the streels last Saturday afternoon and rendered quite a neat lit'Je concert.

Fourteen men, all old musicians, appeared with Director Mldgehall on Saturday afternoon. About seven beginners have enrolled under that gentleman in bis ne c.afcs, and should they keep up their present gait it will tot be long ere they too will be able to make their share of music in tbe "Commercial Club" band.
