Butchering and curing meats in China
by Carl Oscar Levine
About the author
Carl Oscar Levine is remembered through a handful of agricultural works rather than a well-documented public life. Catalog records and library listings connect him with books and pamphlets on animal industries in China, including Notes on farm animals and animal industries in China, A study of milk produced in Kwangtung, and Butchering and curing meats in China.
What stands out in these records is the practical nature of his writing. His subjects center on livestock, dairy production, and meat handling, suggesting an author interested in applied agriculture and close observation rather than literary fame.
Very little biographical information could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search, so details such as his dates, background, and career have been left out here rather than guessed at. What can be said with confidence is that his surviving work belongs to an early agricultural publishing tradition tied to China and animal husbandry.
