better will be the meat the presence of large amounts of fat is not essential how ever to wholesome meat and it is far more important that an animal he in good health than that it be extremely fat it is wise to kill an animal that is losing flesh as the muscles fibres are shrinking in vol ume and contain correspondingly less water as a consequence the moat is tougher and dryer when an ani mal is gaining in flesh tho opposite condition obtains and a better qual ity of meat is tho result also a better product will be obtained from an animal hi only medium flesh but gaining rapidly than from a
