IIog-Dressed Calves. —Calves from 
four to six weeks old and weighing from 
80 to 110 lbs., are the most desnrable for 
shipping to this market; a few buyers 
can use heavier weights if the quality is 
very choice. They should he dressed in 
the following manner: When all is ready 
for the killing, take the calf gently (it 
must not be worried or chased, and should 
not be fed for a space of at least six 
hours jirevious), tie a rope to hind legs 
and hang it up clear of the grounl or 
floor; then cut the head off just behind 
the ears; when tlioroughly bled out, put 
in the gambrel stick and cut off the legs 
at the knee-joii-t—where the knuckles 
and head skin are left on sellers have to 
allow enough weight to fully covei' these, 
and it is best to remove them before ship¬ 
ment. Then open the belly from pi’etty 
well up between the legs to the breast 
hone, remove all the intestines, including 
the lights, liver, heart, and especially the 
rectum and windpipe, so that there may 
be a free circulation of air through the 
calf. Be careful not to distiub the cover¬ 
ing to the kidneys. Now balance evenly 
on the gambrel and place a stick of suit¬ 
able length in the opening to hold it in 
proper shape; then hang in a cool, dry 
place until the tiesh is “set” and the ani¬ 
mal hciit is all out. The stick wliich Wiis 
placed acro.ss the opening should now' be 
removed. In warm weather the opening 
should he filled with a large piece of ice 
and sew(‘d up. The calf should then be 
laid dow’ii so that the cold air will reach 
all parts of the carcass. Never sew up a 
calf except to keep in the ice. IMark for 
shipment by sewing a “shipping tag” to 
the bag skin between the hind legs. Very 
small, young calves are liable to seizure 
by our meat inspectors as unfit for food. 
Fed calves, buttermilk calves, grass calves 
and yearlings sell much lower in price 
than veal calve.s. The Health Depart¬ 
ment of the City of New York has or¬ 
dered that all country dressed calves 
must be opened all the w'ay through the 
bri'ast and throat. Shippers are cau¬ 
tioned to be very careful to cut through 
tlie center. After the calf is cooled the 
hn'ust nmy be protecti'd by drawing the 
skin together with a stout cord,
