and see the platinum finish the latest thing out communication ve wish it distinctly understood that we dp not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents tlotlie editors ot ihe fbee pekss hog killing mr editor we are frequently asked by farmers and stock men for instructions regarding the killing and handling of dressed hogs and know ing that your valuable paper reaches a large class who are interested we iake the liberty of using it as a med ium for this purpose during this season of the year it is well to select if possible a cool day for slaughter ing the hogs should be starved at least twelve hours before killing a great many farmers- are experienced butchers and the number of shoulder- stuck hogs is very much loss now than some years ago however we strongly advise that none but experienced hands should be allowed to stick hogs in structions as to the scaldibg and re moving of the hair we think are un necessary what wo wish to call special attention to is thetrcatmsnt of 4he carcass after it has been hung up the hone betwoen the hind legs also tiie breast bone should be cut through so as to allow the removing of all the entrails along with the gullet this being dene the carcass should bo well showered with cold wator and allow ed to hang up twelve to twentyfour hours according to the state of the weather if- very warm then more cold water should bo used and a long er time allowed to hang if tho hogs are very fat which by tho way is no5 desirable especially in the light weights they should ne split open through the backbone to allow the animal heat to escape which if not attended to the chances are you will have tainted meat these openings dp not in any way interfero with the price in selling as all hogs have to be divided in the middle whan being pre pared for curing we wish to impress this point in regard to fat hogs very strongly tnlcr no conditions should a hog bo cut down from the place where it is hung up to cool until all tho animal heat has left tho body avon should it take thirtysix to forty- eight hours to do this of courso it will be understood that during the winter weathor the care in regard to chjllingof tao carcass is not so necess ary hut as there aro largo quantities being- killed during thepresent season when tho weather is not so favorable ihis is the jme that he above instruc tions are carried out the result will in every case bo satisfactory and the jighost market price will bo obtained for hogs so prepared youra truly d guxx bpos co packers toronto rwo can all agree with this
