TAKE ADVANTAGE OP LODERH
SLAUGHTERHOUSE, SaYS "AUDY"
hr. Anderson of the Extension Service
tells us: "The people of this Valley
are fortunate in having at their disposal
the services of a well-equipped alaughter
house. If it xspossible to conveniently
arrange to take stock to be slaughtered,
it will actually save tine and nonoy.
It is a hard job to prepare neat for mar
ket without proper equipment and it takes
tine. The slaughterhouse has equipment
which makes it possible for then to do
the work at a minimum cost to the farner
and to dc a more efficient job. heat of
first-class appearance has a better sales
value and brings setter prices.
"The farmers would be better off to de
vote their time to producing good neat
and leave the butchering to the slaughter
house.
"But even proper slaughtering won't re
move bruises caused by rough handling.
Therefore, handle your stock and poultry
carefully before butchering so as net to
bruise the meat. Turkeys are a good ex
ample. They will drop a. grade if they
are bruised, with a correspondingly
lower price."
