JUDGING WOOL AND MUTTON ANIMALS. Proper methods of judging mutton and wool types of sheep are described thus by George R. Samson of the ani mal husbandry department of the Ore gon Agricultural college: The mutton type include* the long wools and the medium wools or "down" breeds. These are both pro duced primarily for their mutton. Ac cordingly the points given greatest weight are those which pertain to • (splendid mutton carcaas. This Implies the maximum of meat In that part of 'the carcass which brings the beet price when sold over the blocK. Hence the bnok, loin and hind legs are of the greatest Importance. The back and ribs should be well covered with Arm flesh, which should extend well down on the sides. When the hand is placed upon the backbone and moved from side to side the prom inences on the backbone should not be noticeable. The loin should be wide and thickly fleshed. To determine this place the hands with the palms toward each oth er in a vertical position on either aide The Cheviot sheep sets Its nsme from the Cheviot hills, a rang* of low mountains on the border or England and Scotland. It Is the principal breed of mountain sheep and hss made a place for itself on this side of the Atlantic, where It has proved to be a valuable bread for farm use as well as crossing on nsUve stock. The Illustration shows a typical rem of this breed. of the loin and not* the width. To de termine the thickneaa place the ends of the linger* below the loin and the thumbs above. The hind leg should be well fleshed down, sad the hocks and the twist should be deep—that Is. the flesh be tween the hind leg should come well down even with the under lias. The wool Is of value and greatly de serves attention. In the long wool breads greater cosrssnsss Is found, but this should not be allowed to be coins extreme. The fleece ahould be thick and clean, the fibers should bo strong, bright sad CMS from dark or diseased spots, la the medium wools a thicker fleece Is desirable, thlckaaas sufficient to turn rain. The fibers, as la the long wools, should bo relatively long, clean, lustrous sad contain an abundance of grease. To examine a Usees the portion Just over the heart Is noted to discover the finest wool snd that on the leg for the coarsest Theresbould bo as little dif fers nee In the/fleece on these parts as poaalbls. To opea the fleece place both bands, pslm down, on the fleece snd shoving down slightly, pull the bands apart. This breaks the fleece without tearing.

Almost 60 years after the assas sination of Abraham Lincoln, the pen of Ben Pitman, pioneer of stenography, who acted as official stenographer at the trial of tbe conspirators, has revealed facts supporting his belief that Mrs. Mary Surratt, the woman hanged with three other conspirators, was innocent of the crime for which ■he was executed. The statement was written by Pitman just before his death here a year ago, and appears in the March issue of a Cincinnati magazine. A portion of Pitman's statement is: - "That Mn.' Burratt, who was hanged with three male conspira tors concerned in a plot to assas sinate President Lincoln and other government officials, was entirely innocent of any prior knowledge of or participation ia those crimes is, to my mind, beyond question. My conviotion ia based on the fol lowing facte: That as official recorder of the trial; as having heard every word of the testi mony; at compiler of the pub lished volume, 'Lincoln Assassi nation Trial'; more than all, as having previous to the trial writ ten down from th# lips of the principal witnesses their stories of what they knew or about which, in their employment of spies, they learned.
