The difference in the appreciation and value of the various cuts of meat in London 

 and Paris is very great; and as these rules have been introduced also in the large 

 cities of America, our stocii-breeders are vitally interested, and should study this 

 question, so they may know what portions of tiie body to develop by a judicious choice 

 of breeding animals. For instance, a pound of the fillet represented by Nos. 4 and 5 

 in figure 1. and No. 1 in figure 2, is worth 44 cents in Paris, while the portions 13, 14 

 and 15 in figure 2, bring only 123^ to 14 cents. Nothing pays better than judicious 

 and intelligent breeding of our meat supplies; and as the demand grows with tlie in- 

 crease of population, the question assumes greater importance with each succeeding 

 year.
