From the Court House dome OF Fort
Worth appear two objects ~ special
interest in The suburbs. In the south
ern outskirts is the Imposing collection
of buildings forming the railroad
hospital OF the Missouri Pacidc sys-
lem iu Texas The location Is the
most convenient that could be chosen,
ior here cross the Texas and Pacific
and the Missouri Pacific. 70 the east,
ON the bank of the river, is the estab.
lishment of the Texas Meat company,
completed only last February. The
magnitude Of the works ia a matter OF
surprise tn all visitors. Gfound-room,
2sOx26O feet, is covered by the plant.
There are thirteen pens for kill
ing cattle aud two for sheep.
while the eight chill-rooms In which
the dressed halves hang, IL n tempera-
ture below forty degrees awaiting ship
ment, have each capacity of l25 ear
casses. A capacity of cooling oil 500
, cattle daily aud OF making twenty
/ tons of ice IN twenty-lour hours, Il
Guaranteed the refrigeating engines.
Railroad tracks run alongside the build.
! ings and ice and beef are loaded in 10y
n shaft of only few feet from the
doors of the ohill-room. Forty-tive
dressed cattle to the ear Is the load.
The company has already built up
, quite II business in dressed beef in
{ New Orleans, having shipped in there
and sold from branch establishment
at Victoria, Tex, which has been run.
ming Il year, 1900 dressed cattle and
, 10 600 sheep.
1t may seem strange, but Capt
Higgs, the president of the meat com
pany, complains of the difficulty OF
getting beef cattle 10 keep the works
in operation. With market right al
! their gates, Texas stock-raisers must bg
educated into feeding steers Sc
, IA to have them ready 10 turn

I appeal to them 10 pay more attention

i, fattening entirely TO the spring anC
summer grass, when the market mus
