Letting The Blood.
The Talmudic law of killing is
observed Everything is kosher. The
butchers are negroes who stand n
blood, in a steaming atmosphere, for
ever whettiIg their knives. The
beeves are hooked up by their hind
legs as soon as they are dumped out
OF the killing lanes and drawn SO high
that their noses hang four feet from
the floor. The butcher stands directly
in front, and at a single stroke sends
his razor-like blade through the heart.
Only one stroke is permitted. Out
gushes the hot, red blood. 1t is a
river released from confinement. 1t
strikes the butcher in the chest and
runs down his body to the floor. He
lives in blood his body absorbs blood
through the pores of his skin. He
thrives in it.
Passed From Hand to Hand.
The dead animals ride around on
overhead railroads, passing from hand
to hand until landed in halves in the
cold storage vaults The time occu-
pied in this operation, from the NOM

brushes the skull with his steel maui,
is from thirteen to fourteen minutes.

Hogs are killed near the top of the
building so that when they reach the
lower floors they are converted into

through like creased tightening. The
killing bed contains about 100 at a
time, some so fat as to be unable to
walk When moving from place to
place they drag their hind parts on the
ground. A slip-nooSe is fastened
around the hind legs and the pcrker,
frantically squelling, is jerked off the
floor and started down IN inclined

Making Sausage.
After seeing the process of making
sausage by wholesale, l have decided
never more to regard it as necessity

certain cattle that were being sent to

of the abattoir replied: These are
about three rate beeves. We would
never think of Offering them for sale
as prime. They go into cans as corn

the beeves go into cases as sausage
but no more for me. The ''tailings''

with shovels. They are unattractive.
