HOG.DRESSED CALVES.

The Best and Most Profitable Way to
Market Calves-How to Kill and
Dress.
Farmers having calves to sell can realize
the most money for them, says writer In
the American Agriculturlst, by slaughter
Ing and sending them to market instead OF
selling them alive at home. They not only
save the middleman's profits, out II the
calves are properly dressed they should COM
mand as high prices as city-dresseo veal
although the latter now sells Tor from one
TO four cents per pound more than veals
dressed in the country and shipped to the
commission merchants The principal
difference is in the appearance, on accounto OF
the too often slovenly and careless manner
of country dressing. The city butchers
understand that in order to meet the wants
of their customers, the tirst-class shop
butchers, or retailers who are willing TO
pay the highest prices, the veal must be
dressed TO attract the eye Of a customer.
The calf should be of good form and have
firm and solid feel; the flesh white and well
set; the kidneys well covered; and the fat
not torn, mussed or bloody, and free from
blood or wet inside. The following plain
directions for dressing and shipping veals
and reasons therefor are made up from an
experience of thirty-seven years IN hand
ling, dressing and selling calves in the
market.
An open shed or building with doors at
each end or side, to allow free current OF
air and facilitate the cooling and drying as
soon as possible is the best for the pur-
pose. The calf shonld remain quiet at
least two hours before Strengthening. Knock
it on the head and hang up evenly by ootn
hind legs, keeping them about htteen
inches apart at the hook joints, leaving the
legs on. Cut the throat, neck, flesh and
bone through, leaving the head adherlng
by the skin. Let it hang until all the blood
is thoroughly drained from the veins and
flesh; then open the carcass by Sitting the
belly from near the udder to the breast
bone Remove the entrails, paunch, liver,
or harslet, and lights, using great care not
to injure or break the kidneys, or muss the
fat around them or get blood inside the
carcass. Should any blood get in, remove
it by pressing clean damp cloth wrung
out in cold water against the blood. Do not
rub or wash it out, or use any water inside
at all Let it hang without handling until
it is thoroughly cooled off and the flesh is

Gent for his wants, by helping himself to a
fat young chicken or duckllrg. a baby Sec
rotary Bird, such as you see in the picture,
seems to be well aware that his legs are the
weakest parts of his body, for he stays in
the nest, which is his nursery, as long as he
possibly can, often until he is four months
old, by which time his legs are getting
strong and well developed. Then he feels
able to encounter his enemies, the snakes,
and he can also use his long legs to such
good purpose in running that he is often
called the messenger" instead Of the
Secretary" bird.
A battle between a snake and a Secretary
bird is strange sight, and always results
in the victory Of the bird He avoids the
bite of the snake with his wings, placing
first one and then the other in front of him
like shield, and kicks his enemy forward
with his long legs; and ends at last by
crushing his skull with his sharp pointed
beak
The natives say that if the snake does by
chance contrive to bite a feather, the bird,
as if aware of MS danger, instantly pulls il
out. His plumage is Of a light-gray color,
interspersed with black and pure white, and
as he stalks along with his peculiar stilted
gait and his crest of feathers spread out on
each side of his head he certainly looks a
very strange bird indeed.-Little Folks.

set, using a stretcher-stick to hold open the
slit in front and facilitate the cooling and
drying After the animal heat has passed
off and the flesh is firm and solid, cut or
saw off the legs and leg skins close to the
knee Joints, and the head and head skin
close behind the ears. Attach tag to the
bag skin and another to the skin in front,
the tag showing your address in full; also
the address of the party the veal is con-
signed to. Send postal to the consignees
so that they can hunt it up IN case of delay
in delivery. 1t is advisable to ship by eX.
press to insure quick delivery.
II the calf is killed Immediately after be-
ing driven or worried the flesh will be
feverish and red or dark colorcd, and will
not set or feel firm. If hung unevenly OF
by one leg it will dry, cool and set crooked,
and have bad appearance. If handled be.
fore it is perfectly cooled the flesh will be
soft and fiabby and VIII not keep, or sell
for full price. If the kidneys or kidney fat
are in bad order this defect Will injure the
sale. If blood gets inside and it is wet il,
will ferment and turn sour. Leaving the
legs and head on until thoroughly set and
cold prevents the SKIN from drawing up,
and leaving the neck and legs exposed &c
the air, which would turn black and give
the calf stale appearance. II parts of the
legs, leg-skin, head-skin or ears are left or
the salesman will have to cut them off te
make a reduction in the weight, thus caus.
ing dissatisfaction to the shipper on account
ofvariations between the shipping and sell
ing weights. By using two tags you pre-
vent trouble in case one is torn off in ship
ping All calves not four weeks old are
liable to seizure in New York City by the
board of health, who will give receipt foI
the calf or calves seized, which receipt the
salesman should forward to the shipper,
and which the shipper may demand.

Surgical or grafton on q Nose,

New York's fashionable world is gossip
ing over a remarkable surgical operation
which has changed the decidedly tip-tilted
nose of an arlstocratic young woman into
an organ of pure Grecian design. The sur
geon's bill amounted to $1,000. The opera
ton was long and tedious, involving much
suffering. But the patient is satisfied and
happy-for the present. Those who knew
her before the change maintain that the
new nose does not suit the general confor-
nation of her face. Others meeting her
low for the first time notice lack of har-
mony somewhere, but can not tell what
causes it. Another sensitive creature, who
had her teeth Strengthened at great ex-
pense, is tortured by the horrible fear that
people will say they are false.

A Plan sible Exclamation,

The many autograph letters of George
Washington in existence induce the belief
that at least 1000 of the 2,700 of his body
servants who have died during the last
thirty years were employed by the Father
of his Country to write his letters.
