SHRINKAGEIN IN SLAU0HTERING.--Thes shrink
age OF hogs in butchering varies from One-eighth
to one-fourth Of the gross weight. A we'll
fattened hog that has not been fed for sixteen
will weigh 800 pounds gross, will weigh about
2eo pounds dressed, while ono poorly fattened
that will weigh 200 pounds gross, will balance
little over 150 pounds dressed. 1t is believed
that hogs that have attained maturity, or about
% months old, when well fattened, win shrink
less than those that are from to 12 months old.
Beef cattle will, on the average, shrink about
equal nearly GO per cent. OF the gross weight Tn
the case of both cattle and sheep much depends
upon whether they are well fattened and some
breeds, as Short Horns and South Downs, sheW
less shrinkage than others. "~''
