HOW T„0 USE LESS
! TENDER CUTS OF DEER
College Sation, November 12.
—Opening of deer season in
Texas in the immediate future
is certain to bring to wives of
successful hunters the problem
of using less tender cuts of
vension. Edith Lawrence, spe-
cialist in food preparation for
the„Texas A. & M. College Ex-
tension Service, offers vension
sausage with its variety of
uses as a solution.
The shoulder, neck: and lower
portion of the ribs when boned
make good sausage, says Miss
Lawrence. Here are the direc-
tions:
Grind the' meat, using three
parts deer meat to one part of
fresh pork fat. If a drier saus-
age is preferred, use four parts
deer meat and one part of pork
fat. Season with one and one-
third cups of salt and three-
fourth of a cup of black pep-
per to. 50 pounds of meat.
About three-eighths of a cup of
sage may be added to the sea-
soning mixture, according to
taste. (Three-eigths of a cup
equals one-fourth of a cup plus
two tablespoons.)
If the sausage is to be kept
for some time, stuff it in a
casing or muslin bag, Miss
Lawrence suggests. She adds
that the sausage may be smok-
ed, depending on family prefer-
ences.
Ground vension may be used
as any other - ground meat —
in meat loaf, with spaghetti or
in chili, for instance. Some-
times even the choice cuts from
an old animal prove difficult to
cook tender, and in this event
they should be ground. In ad-
dition to adding seasoning, add
some fat, too, the specialist ad-
vises for vension usually con-
tains insufficient fat. That is
sometimes a reason it remains
tough after long cooking.
Deer season east of the Pecos
River is from November 16—
December 31. West of the
Pecos it is November 19 —
November 24.

HOTELS for
LIVESTOCK
The central livestock market is as American as
the "hot dog.” No other country has the like of
it. European sellers and buyers haggle over
individual animals. In South America most of
the dealing is done right on the estancias, where
the livestock is raised. But here in the leading
livestock nation of the world, for 75 years central
markets have played a big part in the job of
moving meat toward dinner tables of the United
States.
When a carload of livestock rolls off the prairies
or out of the mountains into one-of the 65 or
more great central markets, the animals are
"greeted” and "registered” at the unloading
dock, much as travelers are received and regis-
tered in hotels. From there they are sent to their
"rooms”—the pens assigned to the commission
man to whom the owner has shipped his animals.
There these hogs, cattle, calves and lambs are
rested and given food and drink.
Just as hotels compete for guests, so these
central markets compete with each other for
the business of accommodating the 88 million
head of livestock which come in each year. Thou-
sands of livestock buyers and order buyers bid
against each other and the sale is made to the
highest bidder. With 26,000 meat packers and
other commercial slaughterers active in livestock

Things Are NOT Always as They Seem
The mechanical device pictured above shoots the
ball marked A and at the same instant drops the ball
marked B straight down. It certainly looks as if
B will hit the ground first, since ball A has so much
farther to go. But the fact is that they will both
strike the ground at precisely the same instant.
in our business, too, things are not always as they
seem. On September 1, 1946, the U. S. Dept, of
Agriculture reported that in the entire country there
were 356 million pounds of meat stocks in cold stor-
age. That is a lot of pounds. But actually it is the
lowest on record for that date . . . and compares with
626 million a year ago and a 631-million average, for
1941-1945. Here in America we eat about 50 million
pounds of meat a day, so the September 1 supply of
meat in cold storage was barely enough to feed us for
seven days.

SPREAD
When visiting with livestock
producers on farms or ranches,
or at meetings, the subject of
"spread” often comes up for
discussion. Then I give them
an explanation of the difference
< between the price they get for
livestock and the price we meat packers receive
for the meat we sell.
To me it is a source of continual surprise
that the spread is not greater than it is. Dur-
ing my years of experience in the livestock-
meat industry, here is what I have learned
about spread. We at Swift & Company have
been paying farmers and ranchers approxi-
mately 76ff, on the average, out of every dol-
lar we receive from those to whom we sell, for
all products we process and handle, including
hides, glands, and all by-products. That
leaves us 24^ to cover the cost of processing
and marketing.
Out of the comes the cost of buying
livestock and., other agricultural products.
The cost of preparation and refrigeration.
The cost of loading them into cars and trucks.
The cost of transporting them to our branch
houses or to retailers. The cost of branch
house operation and of selling and delivering
the products to the retail dealers. In addi-
tion, we have taxes to pay; plus insurance
and all the other necessary costs of doing
business. When all these expenses have been
paid, we make a profit, which over a period
of years has averaged a fraction of a cent a
pound on the 6lA billion pounds of products
we handle annually.
There is no other business in the country
that does so much for so little. ^

buying, it is easy to see that the American
livestock marketing system is the most com-
petitive in the world.
These "livestock hotels” are a separate branch
of the livestock-meat industry. They are pri-
vately owned. Swift & Company does not own a
single share of any stockyards company.
Thanksgiving
i this Thanksgiving month, the people of our
ation—and of many other nations—owe a debt of
ratitude to the ranchers and farmers of America.
.11 through the war, in spite of its tremendous re-
uirements, our people ate well. And in spite of
laring with the earth’s hungry, our people are still
ating well. Today, to be sure, not all the meat they
ould like to have . . . but plenty of nutritious food
) keep them well and strong. That is because for
>ng years millions of farm and ranch men-, women
nd children have kept the food supply up, working
arder than ever before, overcoming shortages of
elp and machinery and many other obstacles,
es, Americans may well offer thanks this month to
11 those who produce our food.

FERTILITY OF RANGE BEEF CATTLE
by A. L. Baker and J. R. Quesenberry
United States Department of Agriculture
Cows in the western ranch states drop from a 40 to
a 70 percent calf crop with an average of 63 percent.
This means that for every 100 cows the average
rancher can expect to get only 63 calves.
However, the following recommendations, based
on a study made, should aid the rancher in increasing
his production:
1. Cows should be identified by proper markings so
that shy breeders can be culled from the herd at
an early age. Good producing cows may be kept
until at least ten years of age without loss of
fertility.
2. Cows that fail to produce calves in two successive
years should be culled from the herd.
3. Where practical, it is advisable to test bulls for
semen quality before breeding season in order to
eliminate the partly sterile bulls.
4. There is an advantage in using bulls four years
old or over, of proven breeding ability.
5. The establishment of small breeding pastures capa-
ble of maintaining herds of about 30 cows is rec-
ommended as a means of increasing the calf crop,
6. Even some larger ranches would do well to resort
to pasture breeding if they could thus obtain even
the 6 percent raise in calf crop obtained in this
U.S.D.A. study.
