Preparing Animals.

It Is important that an apiT,al ~
tended for slaughter should be kept
off feed for "a to 36 hours. If kept
on full feed the system is gOrged and
the blood vessels loaded. In such a
condition it is impossible to drain out
the veins thoroughly when the animal
Is bled, and Il reddish colOred, unat-
tractive carcass will be the result.
Food in the stomach decomposes very
rapidly after slaughter, and where the
dressing Is slow the gases generated
often flavor the meat. Water should
be given freely up to the time of
slaughter, as it keeps the tempera-
ture normal and helps to wash out the
system, resulting in nicely colored
carcass.
The care of animals previous to
slaughter has considerable effect on
the keeping qualities of the meat. 1t
is highly important that they be not
excited in any way sufficiently to
raise the temperature of the body. EX-
citement prevents proper drainage
of blood vessels, and If extreme Will
cause souring of the meat very soon
after dressing. In no instance should
an animal be killed Immediately after
n long drive or after rapid run
about the pasture. If heated by such
cause it is far better to allow 1t to
rest overnight before killing than to
risk the meat spelling. The flesh OF
an animal that has been overheated is
usually Of pale color and very often
develops sour or putrld odor With
in three or four days after being
dressed.
1t Is also essential that the animal
be carefully handled SO as not to bruise
the body. Bruises cause blood to set
tie in the injured part Of the body. and
often cause loss.
A 36-hour fast, plenty Of water. care
full handling, and rest before slaughter
arc all important In securing meat In
the best condition for use, either fresh
or for curing purposes.

REDUCE COST OF
MEAT FOR TABLE
Beef Clubs and Cooperative
Butcher Shops Gaining Fa-
vor With U. S. Farmer.
FIFTH QUARTER TO BUTCHER
Operations Start in Spring When
First Member on List Furnishes
Beef for kiIIing-Surpus
Meat Sold to Trade.

Beef clubs or rings and cooperative
butcher shops are two of the plans
icing used by American farmers to re-
nuce the cost of meat for their tables.
The cooperative butcher shop is re-
gardcd as an outgrowth of the beef
clubs, which in varying forms have
been in operation for many years.
Typical examples of the beef clubs
have been reported to the United
States department of agriculture from
the coastal plain of South Carolina.
Many of the clubs have membership
nf eight farmers. but most of them
have l6. Operations of the club start
In the spring, when the first member
m the list furnishes beef for killing
The S!aughtering is done by man
hied for the purpose and who usually
Leceives the fifth quarter" such as
lhe hide, heart and liver, as his pay.
The beef is divided into as many
'arts as there are members of the
club.
ihe nnXt week n second member fur
hIsheS the beef, and so on for eight or
sixteen weeks, the various portions of
meat being rotated among the mem
oers' so that each gets n proportion
Lte share of the choice cuts and of the
poorer cuts.
The beef is weighed after the af,i-
mai is dressed and thus the pounds
furnished by each member are known.
M the end of the season settlement
Is made by any members who have
NOT furnished their full shares.
How Plan Developed.
IN an Iowa farming community OBJ
"ciion was found to these beef rings
because each household had to con-
sumo stated amount of beef on stated
uays during the week in order that the
available supply would be disposed of
economically. This tended to make
'he beef diet monotOnous and ulti-
hiateiy led to the amalgamation Of the
oeet rings into cooperative butcher
shop
Each member owns one share Of
s'ock in the project and in his turn
furnishes one head of cattle or as
many sheep or hogs as are desired for
slaughter. The members are credited
WIN the dressed weight of the live
S.ocR provided minus shrinkage Of
Id per cent. They receive coupon
DOCKS equivalent in value to the
amount of meat furnished, allotments
.e'ne apportioned equal In steaks,
'ohsts and boiling pieces.
Each member is privileged to pur-
.nase MS much or as little meat as he
",shes and at any time he can "cash
III on his coupon book at the pre-
.a'ling prices. Surplus meat is sold
" the local trade at from five to seven
,ents lower per pound than the retail
lu'chers charge for similar cuts in
s'aues or meat. 1t is reported.
Good Meat Required.
II is requested that all animals be
III prime market condition when they
.Ie delivered at the cooperative shop;
."at they be subjected to both ante
'a"rtem and pOst-mortem examination.
