CUTTING
The Oarc \{shas It Is Prepared for
a Market. ,

Every Ounce ot- the Animal Goes Out of

chi/Commoditymrroflts
'of the Dealer.
_—_
In a recent interview with a New
York wholesaler a representative of the
World learned the following facts re-
garding the treatment of a beef animal
in preparing it for the market:
“Such beef as I handle,” said the
dealer, “will weigh 800 pounds, that is,
two sides will weigh 400 pounds each.
This is dressed beef, all of which is cut
up and sold. There is no waste. The
fat and bones are sold. Such extras as
you see on the butchers’ stalls, as
brains, tongues, liver, tripe, oxtails,
etc., do not come to us as dressed beef.
These are special lines, handled by spe-
cial men. .
“There is a steer,” and the dealer
pointed through the glass door of a re-
frigerator as big as asmall house, “that
weighed 800 pounds‘when laid on these
scales to-day. I' paid 9 cents a pound
for it. Don’t believe these 11 and 12
cents stories, for they are not true. It
cost me $72 at the warehouse. I hauled
it here, -must pay my men to cut it up
and deliver it and all that. What will
I get for what cost me $72?
“The rump will weigh 40 pounds, for
which I will get 10 cents a. pound, or
$4; the round, immediately below it,
will weigh 60 pounds, at 12% cents, or
$7.50; the sirloin, 80 pounds, at an aver-
age Of 14 cents, for there | are at least
three cuts of sirloin; it depends on the
butcher—that makes $11.20; the porter-
house in a steer of 800 pounds will weigh
60 pounds, and 20 cents is the market
price, or $12.
“Next “comes what we butchers call
the eye of the rib and what is known
on bills of fare as prime rib roast.
There wi“}be 100 pounds of this at 15
cents, or $15. Next is the chuck, really
a fine portion of the carcass, but a
sufferer through its name. There is 90
pounds of this, and it brings tO-dn y 1')
cents, or $9. Immedately adjoining it
is the neck, 30 pounds, much of which
is sold as chuck. The price is five cents,
or $1.50. ‘-
“Below the neck comes the loose flesh
that is called in the slaughter houses
the ‘hanging piece,’ and in butcher
shops the ‘brisket.’ It is good boiling
beef, but is mach in demand for corn:
ing. There are 50 pounds of it at 5%
cents a pound, or $2.75.
“The section marked ‘ribs, plate and
navel’ is the cheapest meat on the steer.
It is for coming and soup meat particu-
larly, will weigh 80 pounds, and sells
at 4% cents, or $3.40. . The shoulder
piece, beneath which lies part of the
brisket, is sold with the shin, and is
generally called soup meat. It will
weigh 55 pounds, and sells at 4% cents,
or $2.43.
“The flanks weigh 35 pounds and are
mostly fat, selling in their entirety at
six cents, or $2.10. The hind legs yield
35 pounds of meat at 4% cents, or $1.58.
“I have now accounted for 715 pounds
of meat. The remaining 85 pounds is
fat and bones. At least 10 pounds of
UP A STEER.
———n—-
fat is thrown in with orders, people
having learned to expect it, and 3%
cents a pound for fat and 35 cents per
hundred for bones will yield $2.80 at the
outside.
“The total receipts from the steer
that cost me $72 will be $75.26;a profit
of only $3.26, or would be a profit if I
ran a business that entailed no expenses
whatever.
“I am not a slaughter-er now, but I
know enough of theb ”ness to know
that the slaughterer loses nothing. A
steer goes into an abattoir on the hoof
and every ounce of him goes out a com-
mercial commodity. A 1,200-pvund
steer will not 800 pounds of beef. The
hide is sold to the tanners. A limited
number of tails go to dealers in ox tails
and special dealers buy the tongues,
and in Chicago go to the canners of
“lunch tongues.” There is alimited
demand for brains. All livers finda
ready sale, and the lining of the paunch,
known as tripe, is growing in such
favor that it is all disposed of to deal-
ers, who pickle it. "
“From the pure fat is extracted the
highest quality of oleo oil. This is
generally exported to Holland, where
it enters into the makeup of the gilt-
edged Dutch butter that commands
fancy prices in England. From other
fats come the lower grades of oleo oil.
From selected bones is secured by ‘
boiling gelatine, which is the basis of
all cheap jellies and marmalades.
Stearine, used as a base of chewing
gum and for many other purposes, is
the product left from the process of
pressing out oleo oil.
“All hoofs are boiled, and the valu-
able commodity known as neat’s foot
oil is secured. The horns are sold to
manufacturers of combs and. fancy
goods. The hoofs after boiling are
also used in the making of horn orna-
ments. Everything that is left, blood,
entrails, etc., is made into‘ fertilizing
material, not the least valuable com-
modity turned out of the abattoir. I have
no positive figures, but I believe that
the 400 pounds of ‘oifal,’ the term used
as applying to everything except the
actual beef, will net the killer from $20
to $22. The wholesale slaughterer
does not get any the worst of it at any
stage of the game.
“N ominally, the retailer makes much
larger profits, but his expenses are
heavy. The trouble is that owing to a
foolish prejudice against certain cuts,
portérhouses, sirloins and prime ribs
are too high, while other cuts that in
the hands of skillful cooks would be
equally good are too low.”
No Use for Soap.
A soap dealer who should open an
agency in China would lose money. In
many parts of China the children wear
no clothes for many months in the year,
and the majority of the people never,
wash. “Do you wash your child every
day?” a Chinese Imother was asked.
“Wash him every day!” was the indig-
nant response; “he was never washed
since he was born!” ‘
INTERESTING' FOREIGN ' ITEMS.

IN Lough Erle, near Carriok-on-Shan-
non, Ireland, an ancient black oak
canoe, without nail or rivet, wa’s lately
discovered in a strange way. A Mr.
Mulligan dreamed that he saw a canoe
at the bottom of the lake. The lake
was dragged and the canoe found.
IN the River Tay, opposite Errol, an
ancient Caledonian canoe was recently
discoveredland is now in the Dundee
museum. It is formed from a single
oak trunk, hollowed out, probably by
fire, is twenty-nine feet long and four
feet wide at the stern, narrowing to two
feet at the bow.
A CASE of prolonged hiccoughing in
an old man of seventy-eight, which had
lasted twelve days, was cured by an
Irish doctor lately, after he had ex-
hausted every remedy he could find, by
giving the patient some strong snuff.
This set him to sneezing and stopped
the hiccoughs at once.
IN the pavement of one Paris street
not less than six different kinds of wood
have been used, viz.: pitch pine, pine

She awoke with a start and there was
a little cry of alarm on her lips as she
sat up In bed. For a moment she did
not fully realize where she was. Then
she missed her husband from her side
and a hopeful expression lit up her face.
Propping herself upon one elbow she
proceeded to listen. It was as she had
hoped. In a few moments she heard
her husband out in the other room. He
was uttering shrill cries of terror and
seemed 'LO be .trying to rout some
enemy.
“He’s got ’em again,” remarked his
wife, after she had listened to the
sounds for a little while. “I thought-
that last hot-scotch would fetch him.”
Getting out of bed, she went into
the other room and lit all the gas jets.
Her husband was rushing up and down
the room in a frenzy, first pointing at
one of the corners and then running
his thin, tapering fingers through his
long hair.
“Do you see them all?” asked his
wife, anxiously.
“Yes,” he replied, in a hoarse voice;
“there is the girl with the green hair,
over shear the bookcase, the pink dog is
up in the chandelier, while you’ll find the
horse with the purple mane in the ward-
robe, where I chased him awhile ago.”
There was a happy smile on the wife's
face as she ministercd'to her husband's
needs. First she wrapped him careful-
ly in a large shawl and then led him to
a chair, in which she fastened him by
means of a clever arrangement of
straps, which allowed his arms to be
free. Then she drew an easel with a
fresh canvas on it before him, tied his
pallet in position and placed his paint
and brushes within reach. _
"I'll be all right now,” he said. “If
you’ll only give me a nip out of the
bottle to brace me up.”
“I hope so, Lorenzo,” she returned.
“We owe two months' rent and the
grocer has become rather tiresome.”
After putting her arm around his neck
and kissing him she went back to bed.
When she awoke in the morning and
went into the other room to turn out
the lights her husband was putting the
fininshing touches to a new-style
poster. “It will fetch $100,” murmured
the wife, as she saw that her husband
had faithfully reproduced all the mon-
strosities he had seen while in the jim-
jams.—N. Y. World.
FEATHERED CANDLE SHADE.
How Idle “'oman Can Turn Barnyard
Trophies to Account.
Now that candle shades are so much
used, new ideas in-this line are very
much in demand. One of the very lat-
est fancies is to make these little
shades of feathers. The way this is
done is very simple. First, cut a card-
board foundation, and cover it. with
silk to match your feathers. This must
be done very neatly. Then get some
soft,w long feathers from your poultry
man, who will probably keep a few for
you when plucking fowls if asked to do
so; or, if you live in the country, and
have a hen-house of your own, all the
better, as you can then have as many as
you like. Dye the feathers any artistic
shade you fancy. “'hen quite dry,
shake them out before a fire, and sew
them around the foundation so that the
long ends come far below it. Catch
them here and there invisibly, so that
they may not slip, and round the top
twist baby ribbon and tie in a tiny bow
at one side. The best colors and those
which conceal the light least are scur-
let and yellow. The little brass holders
which fit on to‘thc candle and hold the
shade in place can be bought anywhere
for a small sum. I’arrots‘ feathers look
charming on these shades, and very
good effects can also be obtained by
using peacocks’ feathers, the lovely
shades of blue and green looking quite
delightful with the soft light under-
neath—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Worked the Other Way.
“Madam," he said in a gentle, sooth-
ing voice, which only the man who has
something to sell can successfully as-
sume. “I have here an article of soap
\vhich—”
“Don’t want any soap," she replied,
fiatl y.
“But your younger brother there
must get a great many grease-spots on
his clothes. Now, if you would provide
some of that 'soap—”
“When you allude to my younger bro-
ther, I suppose you mean that boy who
is standing over by the fence?”
“Certainly.”
“‘Well, he isn’t my younger brother.
He's my son, and what’s more, he’s the
youngest Of four, and what’s more than
that, I read the papers, and if you think
you can flatter me by pretending that I
look youthful, you’re wrong. I don't
need any soap, and my time’s precious.”
