CARVING A STEER.
What Becomes of a Beef Animal After It
Is Dressed.
The New Tork "World furnishes some
•useful mforraatiort about the prices of
beef and the methods Of cutting np a
steer iu that city. A wholesale meat
dealer, Mr. Davis, -was intervie-wed as
follows:
A -wholesaler is a person -who buys
beef by the carcass and sells it in quarters or quantities of SO to 60 pounds to
restaurants, hotels, steamships or other
large consumers.
Snch beef as I handle -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.
Snch extras as you see on the'butchers'
stalls, as brains, tongues, liver, tripe, os
tails, etc., do not come to ns as dressed
beef. These are special lines handled by
special men.
There is a steer (and Mr. Davis pointed through the glass door of a refrigerator as big as a small honse) that
weighed 800 pounds when laid on these
scales today. I paid 9 cents a pound for
it. Don't believe these 11 and 12 cent
stories, for they are not true.   I hauled
HOW A BEEF IS CUT "UP.
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? Keep yonr
eye on yonr diagram and follow me
closely.
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 12i£ cents, or
§7.50; the sirloin, 80 pounds, at an average of 14 cents, for there are at least
three cuts of sirloin; it depends upon
the butcher—that mates §11.20; the
porterhouse in a steer of 800 pounds
will weigh GO 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
.will be 100 pounds of this at 15 cents,
or 115. Next is the chuck, really a fine
portion of the carcass, but a sufferer
through its name. There are 90 pounds of
this, and it brings today 10 cents, or
§9. Immediately adjoining it is the
neck, 30 pounds, much of which is .old
as chnck. The price is 5 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 much in demand for coming.
There aro 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 corning and soup meat particularly, 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 i}4 cents, or
82.43.
The flanks weigh 35 pounds and are
mostly fat, selling in their entirety at 6
cents, or §2.10. The hind legs yield 35
pounds of meat at A% cents, or $1.58.
I have now accounted for 715 pounds
of meat. The remaining 85 pounds is
fat and hones. At least ten pounds of
fat is thrown in with orders, people having learned to expect it, and Z% 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 §8.26, or wouia be a profit if I ran
a business that entailed no expenses
whatever.
I am not a slaughterer now, but I
know enough of the business to know
that the slaughterer loses nothing. A
steer goes into an abattoir on the hoof,
and every ounce of him goes out a commercial commodity. A 1,200 pound steer
will net 800 pounds of beef. The hide is
sold to the tanners. A limited numher
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 a limited demand
for brains. All livers find a ready sale,
and the lining of the paunch, known as
tripe( is growing in such favor that it
is all disposed of to dealers, 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 gelatin,
which is the basis of all cheap jeUies and
marmalades. Stearine, nsed 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 valuable
commodity known as neatsfoot oil is
secured. The horns are sold to manufacturers of combs and fancy goods. The-
hoofs after boiling are also used in tlie
making of horn ornaments. Everything
that is left—blood, entrails, etc.—is
made into fertilizing material, not the
least valuable commodity turned out of
the abattoir. I have no positive figures,
but believe that the 400 pounds of "offal," the term nsed as applying to everything except the actual beef, will net
the killer from §20 to §22. The wholesale slaughterer does not get any of the
worst of it at any stage of the gama
SIRE AND  DAM.
What Kind  of a Cross "Will Produce tho
Best Race Horse?
The Horseman recently offered a prize
of §25 for the best essay on how to breed
a thoroughbred prize winner. The essayist was to select from three great strains
of blood the particular stallion that he
would breed to a given mare. There has
been much lively discussion recently as
to the relative importance of sire and
dam in the transmission of qualities to
the offspring. Many are of opinion that
the importance of tlie male animal is
overrated, except in the matter of
"breeding np" a herd of domestic animals of.any kind.
Interesting papers were received by
The Horseman in response to its offer.
One writer says:
While each individual animal is the
offspring of a pair, the majority of
breeders have ever been most concerned
about the stallion. As the male seems to
be the most potent element in variation,
these breeders are on the right road as
long as they are improving an inferior
strain, or "breeding up." When, however, you have a female of the best
blood, from lines tested for more than a
hundred years, some attention to the
special needs of those strains is necessary. The investigations of Darwin led
him to advance the theory that the female represents the conservative side in
reproduction.
Experience seeming to support this
theory, I proceed upon the assumption
that it is a prevailing law. In the ancestry of the thoroughbred horse there
are many producing lines tracing to common female progenitors of early record
in the Stud Book. Naturally the weaker
have been eliminated by time, nor can
they in the future have .value in the
pedigree of a thoroughbred. Of the remaining lines some have been most successful in their sons and others in their
daughters.
Another writer gives the cross he
would choose in order to produce a great
race horse as follows:
Were I owner of the intensely inbred
Wilkes-Mambrino Patchen mare, Suppose So, I would mate her with Arion,
thereby obtaining not only an outcross,
but also the very desirable Electioneer-
Nutwood combination, through its fastest representative. The blood lines of
Suppose So are four crosses to Hamble-
tonian (George Wilkes and Middletown
contributing two each), seven to Mam-
brino Chief, five coming through Mam-
brino Patchen, and one each to American Star and Blue Bull. The nearest
line to Hambletouian, in Arion, is
through Electioneer, and his two crosses
to Mambrino Chief are remote on his
dam's side. The Electioneer-Wilkes,
Nutwood-Wilkes and Electioneer-Nut-
wood unifications have proved eminently successful; the intermingling of
the three lines, snch as would result in
the Arion-Snppose So foal, could hardly fail in being vastly superior to the
two cross combinations.
Baron "Wilkes, Patchen Wilkes and
Wilkes Boy, bred somewhat like Sup
pose So, though in a less exaggerated degree iu the Wilkes-Patchen "blood, got
their fastest performers from mares of
dissimilar breeding. Baronet and Eu-
binstein were.ont of Morgan dams; Joe
Patchen and Favora got outcrosses on
the maternal side, as did Angelina, the
fastest trotter by Wilkes Boy.
To inbreed further along the lines
which in Suppose So are redoubled to
such an extent would be manifestly
wrong, and therefore, believing that in
other than the "Wilkes family must
search be made for a suitable sire, I
have selected Arion in the belief that
his blood is the most desirable cross for
a mare bred like the one in question.

Mr. Robert Leach used two boxes of
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve and cured
a large running sore on his leg. Had
