T can If oof Qrower We are
aarai ini asked this question What
is the verago ago of a sheep in Texan
Tovln ii we have olten replied Shcop
with me bum to good treatment will
hut i ool bearers or lamb raisers from
six to eight yeBN When a wethor
roichi be age of six yi ara ho ia ordin-
arily r ly for tho shambles and or
dlnaril owes becomo culls at least
ouo year earlier In viow of these facts
our aliro is as a rule mutton wether
fl wka of six ycara old and owoa after
fire years Of course there are excep-
tions to all general rules Iowgiado
muttons aro sold much earlier The
avcragi mutton sent from Texas dnring
tho last y ar would not lift the beam at
100 ponuds aud the prices paid for
such mutton although higher than pro
viousji urs would not average J per
boad at tue great market nor net to the
rttisor mon than 2 50 per head on the
rango an I yet ahoep are rained bearing
as much wool as high priced wool as
Texas medium and averaging lu tho
market from 120 to 1 JO pounds and
bringing about lu0 per 100 pounds
equal 11 6 85 iwr head Tho seasons
thus far umo been as favorable to fat
toning sheop as could bo desired and
wo loatu from parties handling muttou
flocks that they aro In better condition
than usual Our Texas mutton has
rajsd v ry low in comparison to othor
m at products in tho principal markets
tiwing more to tho fact that tho sheep
xroro shipped beloro thoy wcro roally
fat or o uso a vulgar expression In
big tallow than any other cause Hut
Va Is Wot tho only causo why Texas
ahoep teach the markets in poor cotidi
tion Sbippors of mutton seem to taku
less caro in loading thau do shippers of
other lito stock A lot of muttons
crowded in a double decked car aud
forced to remain standing from olghtcen
to tweuty six hours at a time aud then
whon uuloadod for a few hours jammed
into a small yard so closely that thoy

Tho rapidity with which tho western
portion of tho country is being settled
is one of I ho marvelous sights which
this generation is permitted to see
Not far from 000000 immigrants land-
ed on our shores in 1881 Tho majori-
ty of tueso Immigrants betook them
solves to the West This year a larger
number of foreigners probarbly hao
come to c ist their lots in this repnblio
That migration of thousaudsot the citi
zeus of the Uastorn H tat en go westward
aipplllivir It would not bo extrava
gaut to s iy that i arly 1000000 soula
hate joined tho rh > g commuuities to-
ward the setting su dnnng tho year so
near itsclose The report of the Gen
oral Land Otfico lu Washington shows
that the United States disposed of 15
698 818 acres of public land dnring the
twelve months ending Juno 30 1882
An interesting fact Is that nearly ono
half of this laige area waa taken by set
tiers under tho homestead aot onethird
of the entries being sot down to the
oredit of Dakota There is something
peculiarly exhilarating la the sight of
this peaceful Invasion and occupation
of the vast domain not by armed men
trampling down the rights perhapn of
millions ol defenceless inhabitants but
by men with plow the drag and the

What do you consider a fair propt great wealth of tho state sqnanderod
to tho retailer
I think about 25 per cent We hat e
to sell In small quantities to keep clerks
supply packages and deliver the gooils
The last item Is quite an object for
poopte think nothing of demanding
that a hall pound paokagu shall be de-
livered at 1 ortioth stroet or near Lin
coin Park Then they want it right
away cien though the wagon hasmado
its rounds for tlio day
What about coffees
ltios havo gono down vory low but
Javas Moobas and the fine grades
generally none too plentiful Coffee is
sold very cheap in this city and tho
consnmor gets good value for his money
Voti can buy prune Iilo at 18 and 20
couts just as good as anybody could
ask If you want fancy Java you mnst
pay for It
Another dealer who was questioned
said that he handled only tlio better
grades of toa nnd coffee and thai there
had boen littlo or no reduction in these
not moro than a cent or two He
corroborated tho statement that Ilio
cofTco was lower than at any previous
time and gavo it as his opinion
that tho reduction would novor get
ronnd to the consumer He based this
opinion on his belief that cufTco at
present figures
WAS A nnST CLASS srECVLArioN
aud that it would be bought up by men
who would hold It for an advance
Tbcro waa not in Ida opinion any groat
surplus but tbo South Amoncau crop
had beeu n good ono As to the amount
of profit exacted by tbo retailers he
could give littlo information but ho
thought that aa visual tho jioor who buy
lu small quantities and often on credit
had to pay a pretty heavy porosutagc
on it find wero not likely to got much
beucfi from tho decline
A third dealer doing a general gro-
cery business and haudllng all grades
of toa and coffee was asked to give bis
views Ho roportod what had beui
said by tho others about the consumer
getting a better quality at tho old figures
and agreed that thiro had been no cut
in prioes Of courso ttndor this Bystem
tho consumer is at the mercy of the
retailer who muy or may not give
him an extra good tea for his 50 to CO
cents Hut the dealer referred to ealtl
that competition settled this and that
with tho tea dealers it was a competi-
tion of quality rather that if tho duty
of 15 conts por pound was reiraposoo
It would keep a great deal of worthless
tea out of tho country Unit and
had1 to wilt
per pound and had helped to domoral
Ize tho market Uo thought 10 to 12
oents per pound was a fair profit for
steps takou ono by one lrit wo may J tho retailers and was about all any of
filling no long so peraoverlng in his calling and yot
er extensive wildernesses void of hu so kind sociable and obliging There
man beings It is no longer ohlmeri
eal to project nnd build railroads in al-
most any direction beyond tho Missis
sippi One can easily and sensibly
Imagine that In two or three genera-
tions it will be difficult to find lurvjrala
to any great extent of that rude lite In
the West ploturea of which make the
charm of the narratives of Lewis and
Ularke and Vremont As a natural re
kit of this rapidity of growth Is the
tendency to hurry Territories tnte the
fraternity ot the Statea We believe
that a wise conservatism should preside
over this matter that no mora mistakes
be made In that direction

It is no economy to uso inferior food
It is a saving of money and timo aud
health to gmi a high price for what wo
eat it it bo fresh and perfect than to
oltiiu it for ltsi on account of its being
wilted or old or partially decayed Somo
people prefer their meat tender by keep-
ing which means decomposition is tak-
ing placeiu plainer phrase it is rotting
Such meats rcquiro less chewing aud
may appear very tender bnt it is u

gested as easily or as quickly as solid
fresh meat When a vegetablo begins
