BAD TIME TO KILL.
"Never kill an animal that is losing flesh," is a maxim followed by butchers, and observations points to a logical reason for the saying. With an animal failing in flesh the muscle fibres are shrinking in volume and contain correspondingly less water. As a consequence the meat is tougher and drier. When an animal is gaining in flesh the opposite condition obtains, and a better quality of meat will be the result. Also better ptouuct will be obtained from an animal that is at a standstill or losing in flesh.—Nor'-West Farmer.
