given circumstances the better dog he is
though. to be sure. he may do SO in such
a slovenly manner that no one but q POT
hunter would care for him even as 9
shooting dog, and so he cannot win al
trials" Speaking Of the assertion Otter
made that the fast field trial dogs do not
handle birds well, Mr. Babcock says
why, that is just what field trials are
for, to weed out the dogs Of such un-
desirable traits and bring out those that
can find birds, that can cover perfectly
the most ground in the least time, and
those that have the best staying quail
tiles. Taken as a whole the perfect field
trial dog is the one that best conforms to
the country that he Is put down in, covers
the most country In the least time and
finds the nearest covey Of birds, though
to the gun. Now could you ask for any
thing better than that for shooting
dog?" Mr.. Babcock says, and 1t stands
to reason that this il SO. that field trial
dogs are much better trained than the
ordinary shooting dog. and, Of course
field trial handlers are more expert In
getting the best out Of a dog than the
ordinary sportsmen. With one it is a
profession. while with the other 1t is a
recreation.

YIELD 81 PER CENT OF GAINS IN
PACKING BUSINESS.
Bookkeeping System Shows That His
Company Made But Little From
Dressed Beef.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-By-products yield
81 per cen Of the profits in the pack
ing business, according to figures
given by William D. Miles. formerly
Of the Armour Packing company OF
Kansas City, who concluded his test
imony in the trial of the ten Chicago
packers, charged with criminal viola
ton Of the Sherman law. He gave
the company's net profits for 1899 as
$202, 875.1S in the dressed beef de,
partment, based on the slaughter OF
204 500 animals.
An analysis Of the figures given by
the witness showed that the company
made but three cents profit on dressed
meat of each steer killed while the fat
of each animal yielded a profit of AZ
cents.
The profit on hides was 81 cents q
head and Is cents profit was obtained
from the glue manufactured from the
hoofs of each steer. The profit from
the fat was IA times hat yielded by
the dressed beef and the profit from
the hides was nearly as much. The
money made from glue in the hoofs
was six times as much as that made
from the sales Of the fresh meat, &C
cording to Mr.. Miles.
