from this the value of the offal shown

the net carcass to the packer is $4209.
Now for this carcass, the same date,
packers were receiving an average of
Z cents per pound This would give
for the 700 pounds of meat $3.50 for
the average. Killing, the cost of which
approximately is 80 cents per head,
