quor for printers work: dried blood
serves to clarity wines and syrups;
neatsfoot oil is another valuable
product from the same source; the
bladders, when dried and prepared,
make useful containers for drug
gists and painters; the oil gall is
used for liniment and many other
purposes, and tallow, one of the
staple articles of commerce, comes
fIom the rough pieces of fat. Hot
tanks are great Jewelers., and every
scrap of sinews, loose bones or
small rough pieces is boiled down
to shreds and fragments, and the
liquor, when drawn off and cooled,
produces glue or other valuable
material. The caul and best part
of the fat aressrendered into oleo
oil for making artificial butter, and
the DRESSINGS give US the stearine
of commerce. These are only a
few of the products resulting from
careful investigation of recent
years. Not a particle of the ma
terials around the large slaughter
houses is wasted, and the result of
utilizing what was previously
thrown away has brought out a
formidable source of competition
in the glue and fertilizer trades.
which has to be met by reduced
rates.
