The Price of Pork Chops and Bacon Here are reasons why the fine, fresh pork tendericins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for breakfast, cost much more per pound than the market quotation on live h k o k (d Eoncand in the newspaper: An average hog weighs 230 pounds. Of this, only 70 per cent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. So, when we pay 15¢ a pound for biiindibints adlut enineitntens: A nn dus Sbrigribe than 21f a pound for the meat which we will get from these animais, even after taking into account the value of the by-products, |, But people show a preference for only one-third of the whole-the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hame. R This meant‘that when we are seliing Premium bacon at 43}4¢ per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30¢, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6/ or Bf per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1f a pound. ‘The choice cuts are higher because of a dernand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog=or about 1/6th-is usually marketed at once. ‘The rest must be pickled, cured, or emoked. . ‘This tekes months, and adds to the costs which must be met. ~~ Swift & Company, U.S.A.
