Omaha daily bee., 1892-12-18

fork, In bissful ignorance Of the fact that
shrcwd expert buyers FOR the packing houses
can sec, almost at glance, the manner IN
which the hogs have been handlsd, and
make their bids accordingly. Every ham,
shoulder or side that shows n punCturc or
hole made with sharp instrument after
the animal Is dressed, reduces tho price OF
that particular piece cent pound Buy
ers make daily visits to the killing and cool
ing rooms OF the houses for which thoy buy,
noting carefully how each purchase
suit ''''s as out pSiSo SRS for %R' future SRS pure %T
chascs. Bad handling of hogs causes
greater loss to packers than bruises ON cat
tie, AT the latter can be cut away without
damage to the rest OF the carcass, while. as
stated above, a hole in ham or shoulder
affects the price Of the entire piece At the
chutcs leading to the killing rooms drivers
are provided With pole tipped with short
steel spike, not long enough to pierce
through the skin and iulurc the hide A
packing house cmployc seen using an extra
amount of muscle ON his prod pole promptly
gets The bounce, and yet shippers farmers
ana feeders will use pitChfOrI on their cat
tie and hogs and lose money by doing so.
