Farmers frequently have occasion tc
sell turkeys by live weight, and wish to
know what is the fair relative price be.
tween live and dead weight. In turkeys
dressed for the New York market, where
the blood and feathers only are removed,
the loss is very small. For the eastern
markets the heads ARE taken off and the
e~ntrails are taken out. This makes a loss
of nearly ne.tcnth in the weight. A
large gobbler was recently killed weigh
ing thirty one and one half pounds At.
ter bleeding and picking he weighed
twenty-nine and onc-half pounds, a loss
of two pounds, or ore iite"nth. When
ready for the spit he weighed twenty.
eight and one.fourth pounds, a loss of
three and one-fourth pounds, which is
nearly one.len,h of the weight. When
the market requires the New York style
Of dressing, the price is fifteen cents a
pound live weight, o less, il the labor OF
dressing be counted anything. III the
other style of dressing, ii the price were
twenty cents, the farmer could sell for
eighteen cents, or les'. live weight, with.
cut loss. Farm m who never test d the
loss of weight in dressing often submit to
the deduction OF three or four cents a
pound for the middlemen, who are inter.
c'ted in making this large difference
