Shrinkags Of q Hog in Dressing.
From the Boston Cultivator.7

From the Boston Cultivator.7
The question Is often asked in the agri-
cultural papers, what is the difference
between the live and dressed weight OF
well fattened hogs, or what is the average
per cent. of shrinkage in them? In cat
tie and sheep this difference in their
live and dressed weights are.very accu-
rately estimated by those who are en-
gagged in the business of buying and
selling them, and those who slaughter
them, for the reason that nearly all fat
cattle and sheep are sold by their esti-
mated or actual live weight. But only
in few instances Is the live weight of
fat hogs known before they are dressed,
owing mainly to the difficulty of getting
them weighed alive.
Isaac Esty, of this village, recently
killed a fat hog, in the afternoon of
December l, and just before he was kill
ed he was driven some twenty rods to
the hay scales and weighed. His live
weight was no pounds. After being
dressed and thoroughly cooled off his
weight was 705 pounds, shrinking only
IS pounds, or fraction less than 81 per
cent. The hog had nothing to eat on
the day that he was killed. At the time
he was killed he was 2i years old, and
had been kept for breeding purposes till
last March, and previous to that time had
been kept in thin flesh. He was hog
of small bone and fine quality. He was
cross of the Chester White and breed
known in this vicinity rs the "Red
Rock"
