How Pigs Become Pork il Chicago.

thus described by an eye witness:
We saw a piebali pig "runting and
snoring in his PEI. Il qHarreiinsr member
of a quarrelsomo family. New. what
happened t" that rorker was this: He
was suddenly seized by the hind Leg and
.jerked upon a crane. This swung him
swiftly to the fatal door through which
no pig ever returns. On the other side
stood man with a glittering knife in his
hand. One plunge of the cruel weapon
i'll his fair, lat neck, anC the dead pig
shot across trough and through another
doorway, and then there was Il splash
lie had fallen mead first into a vat of
boiling hot water. Some unseen ma
chinery passed him along swiftly to the
other end of the terrible bath, and there
a water wheel picked him up ana swung
him cut on Il sloping counter. Here an
other machine seized him. and with one
revolution scraped him as bald us d nut
And down the counter he Went, losing
his head as he Slid past Il man with a
Ratchet, and then, presto he was up
again by the heels. In one dreadful
handful a man emptied him, and while
another squirted him with fresh water,
the pig-resistering his own weight as
he passed the teller's box-shot down a
steel bar from which lie hung and whirled
round corner into the ice house. One
long cut of Il knife made two "sideS of
pork out of that piebad pig. Two hacks
Of a Ratchet brought away III, back bone.
And then in thirty five seconds from his
last grunt-dirty, hot headed, noisy--the
pig was hanging up in two pieces, cleaned,
tranquiled iced.
Think of it. That poor and most I'M
fortunate porker, who, before he had
quite made up his mind whether to re-
sent the first liberty taken with his hind
legs, was dead as door nail, and half a
minute later was actually ready for the
