Mr. lionnell owns a daughter of this 
cow, Fox’s Queen of Minerva 2454.59. 
who won tlie Oliio Slide oliampionsiiip 
in Oelolicr, 191(!. At that time he did 
not know who owned I lie motiier, hut tlie

Attach the rojies to the hock joint and 
raise th(> carcass until the rump is about

canal, and the intestines, stomach and 
paunch will drop to the floor. Cut the 
pipes which attach the jiannoh to the 
carcass, and to the intestines. IMace tlie 
intestines on a table and remove the tal¬

Killing and Dressing the Beef 
Lead the animal directly under the 
lioisting a]i))aralus. Draw iin imaginary 
line from tlie liase of (‘iicli lioru, across 
tlie forehead, to the highest jioiiit of the 
arch above the ojiposile eye. Strike with 
an ax, or heavy hammer, at the jioint of 
iiitersi'clion of these lines, 'riie blow, if 
W(dl directed and Jieavy enougli, will 
lioth fell and stun the animal. Itoll it 
(piiekly iijion its side. Imsert the point of 
a sharp knife under the skin, beginning 
just below the lower lip, and run it along 
to the brisket. Skin the hidi' back from 
this slit until the vein is laid bare. This 
will be indieali'd by a bluisli line lus 
large as a man's linger, and running 
lengthwise of tlie neck, tint this, and 
bold a bucket under to catch the blood. 
As a pig or jionltry food the blood is 
eipial to milk. As a fmdili/.er it is calcu¬ 
lated to bo worlli two cents a ))ound for 
every liiiiidred jioiinds that the animal 
widglis, so that tla* lilood from a 1,500- 
pouiid steer is worth about 50 cents for 
fertilizing iiurjioses. 
As soon as the animal is dead, roll the 
careii.ss iiiam its back and bold it in this 
position, either by a “stake” or by blocks 
placed under its sidi's. lOxtmul the slit 
from the throat, in n straight line, to the 
root of the tail. Slit, also, between tlie 
nostrils and as far as the toj) of the fore- 
h(‘ad. Skin the hmid and remove it. 
Some hide buyers will dock the hide a few 
pounds if the horns aeeomiiany it. Oth¬ 
ers jirefer to buy the liorns with the hide. 
Ascertain to whiidi class your buyer he- 
ongs, and leave the horns on the hide or 
lead, according to his dire<tions. If left 
niion the head, merely cut around them. 
If left on the hide, use an ax to sejiarate 
them from the skull. Remove and save 
the tongue. 'J'liis is Ix'st taken out of 
the throat and between the hones of the 
ower jaw. Ordinarily, in farm butcher¬ 
ing, the remainder of the head is thrown 
away. I'lie bruins, liowov('r, will make a 
I’ull meat ration for a hearty man, and 
should be removed and placed in cold 
water, and there is soup stock enough in 
the head to make four hearty meals for a 
family of six. 
Cut around each fore foot, just throngh 
the skin, and just above the hoofs. Slit 
from a jioint between the hoofs, straight 
over the knees, meeting the long slit on 
the hrea.st hone. Skin the leg from the 
hoof to a point a few inches above the 
knee, and rmnove the fore leg. There is a 
joint at the knee winch makes this an 
easy operation, (hit in a similar manner 
around eacii hind foot, and slit from be¬ 
tween the dewclaws, over tlie point of the 
liock to the long slit, jiassing through the 
udder if a female, and through the scro¬ 
tum if a male. Skin the hind legs, and 
remove each just below the hock. There 
is a joint here, also, whicli makes this an 
ea.sy oix'ration. Ordinarily the legs thus 
removed are thrown away. There is, 
however, a suflicient amount of souj) stock 
in eacli leg to make a meal for a family 
of six. IJnjoint the tail close to tlie body. 
Some buyers will dock the hide if the tail 
bones are left in, and some will not. In- 
If not, .slit them ojien and rinse. lOnough 
gri'iise will adliere to make a gallon or 
more of soft 8oai». The contents of the 
intestines enter Jargidy into that commer¬ 
cial product known as “tankage,” and ex¬ 
tensively us(‘d holh as a fertilizer and as 
a food for liogs, and may better be utilized 
for either of these purposes than, to be 
thrown away. Cut the tissue of the stom¬ 
ach and iiaiinch into pieces of a conveni¬ 
ent size to handle and place in cold 
wafer. This tissue fonn.s the tripe of the 
market, and when prepared for cooking, 
ri’tails, at the jire.sent time, at 15 cents a 
pound. At the jiresent iirices of grain the 
coiitents of the stomach and paunch are 
estimated to be worth about a cent a 
jiound for slock food, though it will vary 
greatly, according to the kind of food that 
has been eaten during the past two or 
three days. 
Cut tlnauigh the diaphragm and remove 
the Tomaining viscera. Cut the valves 
from the heart and ojxui the cavities so as 
fo remove the <dotted blood wliieli usu¬ 
ally collects in them. The outside niem- 
briine, or casing of the heart, is often 
dried and iisi'd as a money bag or a.s a 
tobacco pouch. Cut the gall bladder from 
the liver. 'I’lie gall lirpiid, wlien diluted 
with vinegar or alcohol, has <‘OTiHiderable 
value as a liniment. Save the heart and 
liver for the table or for niarkid. 'Plie 
remainder of the viscera is worth in the 
vicinity of live cents a pound as a poul¬ 
try food. 
Next, begin at the ninij) and skin down 
n.s far as convenient. Also, sjilit the hack- 
hone as far as convcuiient. An ax may he 
used, but a meat .saw is preferable, 
liaise the carcass till it swings 18 inches 
from the floor. (kiniplete the skinning 
and spread tlie hiile flat upon the floor, 
with the fle.sh side uiiiiorniost. Fold in 
the sides until the line is straight from 
one end to the other. Spread the nos¬ 
trils till one nostril is at (‘.‘leh side of the 
hide. Degin at tiie head and roll to the 
tail. Wrap the tail around tlie hide. Seji- 
arate the long hairs of the tail, draw one- 
half through each nostril and tie. I'liis 
brings the hide into a neat, conijmct roll. 
Finish splitting through the backbone. 
Divide the carcass into quarters by <-ut- 
ting l)(‘tw(‘(>n tlie ribs so as to leave three 
ribs on eaeli bind (juarter. 'J'liiis dressed, 
the hind quarters usually sell for two 
cents a pound more than the fore quar¬ 
ters. 
It is coii.servatively estimated that the 
value of the parts of a beef that are 
thrown away, in the ordinary farm Imtcli- 
ering, if utilized, would eipial one-eighth 
the value of the entire animal when alive, 
and it is largely their ability to salvage 
and utilize tliese jiarts tliiit lias enabled 
tlie large packing bouses to drive tbeir 
.smaller conijaditors from the field and 
thus control the markets.
