hogs are usually allowed to cool off during the

generally suffice for each hog, when the several
parts are thrown into q hopper and passed
through the floor to the next story below, where
the packers and saters put the pork into barrels
and the coopers finish the Job by heading them
up. After the pork has had time to settle and
dry, the brine is loured in from vat In which
IL is manufactured.
The packing season usually lasts about three
months ..Since the commencement Of the present
season, about the middle of November, Messrs.
Flint & Stearns have killed and packed about
l3 900 hogs The average net weight OF these
have been 23O lbs, an increase of lou lbs u

An Hour 10 a Packing House.

Yesterday morning we spent an hour in the
packing house of Messrs. Flint & StearDs, on
South Clark Street, near Twelfth. IL is not
generally understood to how great an extent the
pork packing business has entered into the trade
and capitol Of Chicago There are several of
these houses in this city and its enyrons, en-
ploying an immenae capital.
This being the case, those of our readers who
know nothing Of the modus operdndi by which
one packing house can dispose of thousund
hogs IN day, will doubtless be pleased to ac-

brick building, the eye discovers winding
track, leading from the hog yard to the upper
part of the building. Up this inclined plane

In this pen stands man, swinging with his

work of buschery by severihg the arteries of
the neck, This done, the poor hog Ia slid
through trap door into vat of scalding water,
kept constantly at almost boiling heat by steam
pipes passing through the bottom. The hog is
hoated along to the opposite end Of the tank,
where pair of toDgs, (what else shall we call
them,) operated by lever, picks him up and
deposits him upon long table, upon each aide
of which ia arranged q long row Of men, (scra

the table in state Of nudity. There are not
