Study of Meats
For College Student*
Raleigh, July 27.—When the new j
animal industry building is complet
ed at State College this winter, the
sinini.il husbandry division will give
a course in the study of meats that
will t vent unity stid in lessening the
meat bill which North Carolina pays
annually to other sections.
Practically one whole wing and
lilt.st of the basement of this build
ing' will he devoted to u meat labor
atory in which will be st judging
p.n\illian, killing room, a cutting'
room, st lai d la! oratory, sausage
room, moke hi use and retail mar
ket. The student.- will h ■ carried
carried through the emir process
from studying the animal to in- kill
ed until the carcass lias b"i n pre
pared ami cut up, the by-products
made and all the meats sold at the
ma rkot.
This work, according to I'rof. 1.. 11.
McKay, who will have it in charge,
will help to solve the problem of
having better meats on the farm.
"F.vcry good farm meal," says Prof.
McKay, "is built around the meat !
platter; yet, the average lit -at part
of our diet is made up almost en- j
tiivly of pork with some thicken and
an occasional piece of fresh beef or
veal from town. In other parts of
the United States, the farmer has
better meats on his table than he can
buy. He has a variety of fresh meats
throughoutt the* year, simply hecaus.
he raise* it and butchers sind cures
it at home."
! This meat course at State College
'will he something new t> the South,'
though the need is more urgent here
[than anywhere else, states Prof
Mi Kay. The new building will lie!
completely equipped f>.r both in
strumental and experimental work
in farm meats. The work will tale ,

i cost of production of sl4 per pig ;
and they returned over $2.25 per

But the second man didn't like to j

j .. i.atry his pigs on pasture, with'
lit 11 • extra feed, until the present j
jiorn and soybean crop would he j

Mr. B sold his coin as corn for 7">
icuts per bushel less than Mr. A

This shows, -talis Mr. Shay, that
tlie total cost is not havered by j
limiting the feed and prolonging the
life of the pigs. Good farmers in
so ili Carolina are now taking ad
