anything that pays better than the meat
extract establishments at Fray Bentos, on
the Uruguay river These establishments
have been capitalized for about two mil
lion and half dollars in shares of one
hundred dollars each. and they pay about
20 per cent a year. From a report publish
ed last February see that the profits in
1896 and 1897, one year. amounted to more
than $55O,0O0. The company is an Eng
lish one and the stock Is nearly all held
in London. 1t kills about 100000 cattle an
nually, and reduces them to extract, saw
ing the hides, tallow, horns, hair and blood
and everything else connected with the
animal for other purposes. 1t takes 100
pounds of meat to make 2la pounds of ex-
tract, which is worth at wholesale about a
dollar pound.
The work is done during seven months
of the year. and at this time one thousand
cattle are killed a day. The company max es
it rule to take no animal under four
years of age. The cattle are killed by driv-
ing a knife into them just back of the
horns in the same way that bulls are killed
at the close of a bull fight. 1t takes just
