The advantages. Wherever it has been tried this system has given ex- cellent results. as is shown by the fact that it. is dificult to gain admiso sion in the rings. as there is no in- clination to drop out. The farmers wives and daughters are particularly well pleased. as the abundance of fresh meat at their command simpli- fies the questions of providing suit. able meals. Then the farmers get their beef at the actual cost paying no more for the best cuts than they would for the cheapest they could buy in retail. Under the operation Q! the beef ring each family gets its portion within a tow hours after kill. : inn. so that there is littld dificulty‘ in keeping the meat siresh {or nearly n week. The usual method is to use .0 steak and roast first. and put the m iees into brine or a refrigera- the close. Bombers who have re-’ dived more hoof than they supplied; pay for the difieronce at the price; mood upon; those who have’ put in f non thaothoy have received not void in the some way. Killing and Distribution. A? hutcherie employed to kill and cut! the animals, the owner retaining the 1 head, heart. fat and hide Ther amount paid for killing and cutting; up a beast is usually 89. -. to $2.50 with an extra dollar if the butcher Idea delivery. which is not agen eIal practice. Of course it is not ne-i my to employ a professional . hetcher but a man is required who: can do the work neatly and well and. cut up the carcase along the usual' lines and 1n the same way each time. The butcher provides a hook for each 5 member and hangs thereon the por- ' tion for each family as the animal is; cut up. Each member should has two meat bags with his name on. so that one of them may always be at the butcher shop ready to receive the. weekly portion. In the case of some rings each family gets only one piece; . in others a good piece of the hind: quarter and an inferior piece of the fore quarter. or viz: e versa; in still others a member gets a boiling piece. ‘ a roast and a piece of steak each 3 week. The various cuts are number- ,; ed, and an accurate record is kept by ' the butcher of the quality and weight '. of beef received by each member. In this way it is poss1'ole to arrange for; each family to receive approximately the same weight of meat. and the; same proportion of valuable and: cheap cute during the season. At the end of the summer the secretary: of the organization furnishes each member with a statement of the ' year ’11 operations. compiled from the tatcher’ 3 records. As no two ani- mals will have been of the same' weight. small balances wili have to‘- change hands in order to equalize matters. As aatandard price is al- wave agreed upon at the beginning efthe season. say five or six cents, 'ar pound. there are no .disputes at . The Animal.

The decision in such cues is leit. to the ucretsry or aduly appointed committee of in- Insion. lat-ore luy_ hue Fresh lost in Although live stock is grown on al- Just every Canadian farm. the farm- . as a rule finds it very dificult to furnish his table with fresh meat‘ during the summer months. Salt path and poultry are in general use. , ht it is evident that a liberal supply 1 0‘ fresh beef would make the problem a of preparing much easier for the? women of the household, and would? ensure a more wholesome and pala-f tnhle bill-of-fare for the family. l‘hei “era‘s farmer is several miles from 2 the nearest butcher. and would find; lt both inconvenient and expensive' toeend amember of the family to: “In every day or two for fresh meat 3 especially as both men and horses! are apt to find their t1me fully oco? “pied Again a farmer’s family could not consume a beef animal be- fore it would spoil. so it is out of the question to think of killing his own. ‘ In order to make the use of fresh meat possible in every farm home, even during summer months. the Live Stock Commissioner, Ottawa, 1 recommends the more general estab- 3 liehment of beef rings, which has been successfully carried on for years . in some sections of Canada. Bee! Rings. These rings are not. us the name might indicate, .,trusts” for the control of the production snd file of beef, but sre groups of farmers who co-operste to supply their tables with fresh meet during the summer. The ring is ususlly composed of six. hen. twenty or twenty-four members although sometimes as msny as forty ere enrolled. Esch member agrees to supply one beef snimsl during the ummer, snd in order to give plenty 0! time for prepsretion, the members drew lots the previous winter to de mmine the order in which they shall contribute snimsls. After the draw- ing members msy exchange numbers if they find it mutuslly sdvsntsgeous 'l'wo smell lsmilies msy combine for ewe shsre. mam me.
