Its purpose is to bring together in one volume the best available information on this important division of the American meat packing industry. While it deals chiefly with operating problems and processes, the material has been organized with a view to placing these operations in their proper setting as a portion of the livestock and meat trade as a whole, and not merely to supply any compilation of formulas or a handbook of operating practice...." ---- from the Preface..
