SLAUGHTER OF CHICKENS.
Process of Preparing for Thanksgiving at
tho St0ckyRrds.

Turkey, duck md chicken killing has
been reduced to n science at the pack-
ing house of Swift Il Co., at the stock.
yards, says the Chicago Record. The
old way of putting fowls to death by
decapitation or wringing their necks
has been superseded by new methods.
The bulk of the fowls are received
in cars. The car Ii. run up alongside
of the building, where there Is u chute
that leads to the second floor. Inside
this chute is an endless belt with small
cleats upon 1t. A man stands Mt its
base and as fast as he grabs chicken,
turkey or duck he deposits 1t in the
chute and the belt carries the fowl up
into an inclosed cage over u large scale.
When this cage is full the fowls are
weighed and then distributed to the
different cages, where they are fed for
certain length of time and are ready
for killing. Then they are reweighed
and sent down another chute to n small
coop on the first floor. On this floor the
dry picking process is used. As soon
us the fowl reaches the coop n man
grasps II and fastens both its feet in n
small prong. Then he hangs it on an
endless chain. The chicken Is yet
alive. Another man kills the chicken
by puncturIng its throat Mt the same
time attaching Il tin can (weiGhted)
to the bill of the bird. This can holds
the fowl firm and also acts as n recep-
tacle for catching all of the blood us
1t drlps. The blood thus caught is
nfterward sent to the fertllizing works
The fowl Is now ready for picking.
Standing In row along where the end
less chain Is run are some twenty men
ready to take n pick Mt part of the
chicken as 1t passes him. The endless
chain passes through an iron cage in
which are eight men. The duty of
these men is TO pick or the choicest
feathers which are dropped to the floor
of the cage and later picked up. When
the chicken leaves the cage there re-
mains but n few struggling feathers.
The last man takes the fowl from the
prong, removes the few remaining
feathers and takes the bird TO an in
spector, who orders 1t "racked' with
the rest for the cooler. Then the fowl
Is run into the cold storage, where 1t is
kept until ready to be shipped.
The present daily capacity of killing
by this process is about 10000 chick
ems or G,OO0 ducks or 5000 turkeys.

swordfi.h Attack n " hale

Two swordtish set upon n whale n
half mile off the seawall last Friday af-
ternOon and for half an hour kept the
water in Il turmoil. The rather un-
usual sight drew considerable crowd
Of spectators to the end of the Lombard
street wharf. The swordtlsh, accord
ing to their habit, rose swiftly in the
water beneath the whale, which they
endeavored to strike from below.
When they missed the mark the swift
ness of their ascent would cause the
whole bodies to show out Of the water.
The whale spouted and lashed about
him furiously. The water began to be
Redeemed, but before he was mortally
hurt the big creature sank to the bot
tom and was rid of his tormentors.-

Architect L. A. Davis has completed the
detailed drawings for the new st. Martins
Episcopal church which is to be erected at
the northeast corner of Twenty-fourth and
] streets. The church is to be erected
entirely of stone, with a slate roof, and the
plans follow the Gothic style of architect
ure. When completed this church will be
the handsomest in the city. The structure is
to be eighty -four feet in length with
width of ffty-eight feet A tower twelve
feet square and fifty feet in height will
rise from the southwest corner of the edi-
flee. The ground floor of the tower Will
form a vestibule having entrances on the
Twenty fourth street side and also on the
] street side These entrances will be con-
, nected with a circular stone terrace which
will add greatly to the artistic appearance
OF the structure
A large stained glass window is to be
placed in the front, midway between the
tower and the north wall. The sanctuary
is located in the east end, and a large pipe
organ is to be placed just north of the
chancel. A seating capacity of $50 is to pro-
yided for. The ceiling will be of yellow
pine with oil finish, and the roof will be
supported with fancy exposed trusses Inc
west end of the basement, which is to be
well lighted and ventilated, will be used As
choir room. This choir room Will be
reached from the first floor by flight
of steps placed in half f-circular bay. Steam
will be used for heating purposes and the
building will be modern in every respect.
1t is estimated that when completed the
church will cost $4,000. quantity of stone
is now on the ground and it is expected
that building operations will commence be-
fore long. The committee having in charge
the raising of the amount needed expect
to have the $4,000 subscribed in few
days. over $4,000 has already been pledged
and the balance, Will, 1t Is thought, Dc
raised within the next few days. Rev.
Irving Johnson, the rector of st. Martin $
! church, is of the opinion that the new
church will be ready for dedication about
| Christmas.
