Shooting a Hog 
Is it a desirable thing to shoot a hog 
through the brain before killing him? 
G. R. 
It is inadvisable to slioot pigs when it 
is possible to slaughter them in any other 
manner. First of all, it is possible that 
someone else besides the pig may be shot. 
Secondly, the brain of the pig is very 
small, and surrounded by a thick layer 
of fat. so that in many cases the bullet 
strikes other parts of the 1 body than the 
brain, and meat is destroyed which would 
otherwise not be the case. The usual 
method of slaughtering pigs on the farm 
without stunning the animal is as fol¬ 
lows : Throw the pig on its back and 
have one man sit on the abdomen of the 
pig well back toward the hindquarters, at 
the same time pressing down on the front 
legs of the pig so that they are pulled 
backward and forced down at the side 
of the hog so that the animal is securely 
held on its back. The man who is to do 
the sticking should press down on the 
lower jaw of the animal so that the head 
is firmly held against the ground, and 
after making a short slit in the hide of 
the neck on the midline in front of the 
prominent part of the trachea, he should 
stick toward the opening in tin* chest, 
through which the trachea passes, in order 
to puncture the large artery just after 
it leaves the heart. As soon as a heavy 
flow of blood is obtained the knife should 
be withdrawn to a safe distance, the hog 
liberated and allowed to bleed out, after 
which it may be scalded and dressed in 
the usual manner. 
If it is desirable to stun the hog before 
sticking, a killing ax or bolt hammer 
should be used. These instruments are 
provided with a long bolt having a con¬ 
cave face, which punctures the skull, ren¬ 
dering the animal insensible when struck 
in the center of the forehead. 
Pigs should be scalded and scraped, all 
the hair being removed, and all of the 
internal organs should he removed except 
the kidneys and kidney fats, which should 
be loosened, and the carcass should be 
left whole, with the head and feet on, if 
the carcass is to be sold through a whole¬ 
sale commission merchant on the New 
York City market, or sold directly to a 
retailer in New York City. K. j. s. 
A Taste for Lamb 
There is a campaign on to increase the 
consumption of mutton and lamb. Tt was 
found that farmers consume less mutton 
than most other classes of people, and so 
a start is being made at country picnics 
and barbecues. The following tells how 
the plan is being worked : 
The Coles County. Illinois. Farm Bu- 
reau staged a barbecue of 20 roasted lambs 
at the annual farmers’ picnic, providing a 
feast for the farm folks and dispelling 
the common prejudice against the meat. 
The pleasantest way to eradicate a wrong 
impression is usually the most effective. 
So Melvin Thomas, county agricultural 
advisor of Charleston, Ill., found when he 
recently had a lamb barbecue at the Coles 
County farmers’ picnic. Twenty lambs 
that had been bred right and fed right by 
lamb club members had been slaughtered 
four days before. These were thoroughly 
roasted in a huge bread oven by the local 
baker and served piping hot. Some of the 
throng, who brought their old prejudices 
against what they thought was the mut¬ 
tony taste, were slow to partake of the 
meat, but after the first helping they came 
back for more, the common comment being 
that the meat was as “good as chicken.” 
What meat was not eaten was readily 
sold and there was a demand for more if 
it had been available. 
Four essentials that made the lamb 
good were that it was bred right: it was 
well grown and fattened : it was properly 
slaughtered and left in the cooler four 
days, and it was properly roasted. 
Favorable reports of the quality of the 
animals to he sold by the Berkshire Coun¬ 
ty Berkshire Club in their sale at Pitts¬ 
field. November 6. are attracting atten¬ 
tion from the discriminating breeders in 
the East. A get-together banquet with 
well-known speakers and lots of Berkshire 
facts and enthusiasm will be held at the 
Hotel Wendell, Pittsfield, on the evening 
of November f>. This club has brought the 
community breeding proposition to a point 
of unqualified success and the members are 
constantly increasing the number of high- 
class animals in their herds. All animals 
entered will have been treated and im- 
muned from cholera in spite of the fact 
that the disease has never appeared in the 
herds of the* club. Anyone desiring reser¬ 
vations or a catalogue should write Wm. 
McKee, secretary, Box 1013, Pittsfield, 
Mass.
