every | ound he weighed. They do not
fur nish an ounce Of meat gratis, but
charge full price tor every atom of their
Carcass Nheo slaughtered, it takes a
long time to get one cool to the mar
row in the bone, and then when the
hams are put 10 salt it is troublesome
to fuish them to the centre. Four

general thing every one who has
anything to do with the big

that they are net so profitable as the
smooth, nice hog of only 800 pounds
weight. A small head, With little up-
right ears, and legs and ears delicate to
perfection, are marks which indicate
the greatest amount OF food consumed,
and it will aiways draw more readily
the attention Of every buteher.-Pra'-
