Proof of Their Identity.

In tho meat shops of towns in New Mexico,and Arizona the visitor from me east is apt to notice that the dressed carcasses of sheep have a tuft of wool still attached to the head and tho tail. This is left by the butcher to assure the customer that it is mutton, and not goat flesh, that he is buying, for in these Territories' many flocks of goats are reared and pastured by the small Mexican ranchman to bo killed for food for the poorer natives. Roast or stewed kid, with Chile pepper sauce, is an esteemed dinner dish at the tables of many well-to-do American and Span-ish-American citizens. [Detroit Free Press.
