a large metal wheel revolves slowly
but continuously. An attendant seizes
each of the animals by one of the hind
feet and fastens 1t to the wheel by
short chain. AS it is lifted into the
air, the butcher with a thrust of the
knife opens the throat the work Occu-
pies but a second. The blood from
the carcass flows into a trough, which
passes on to watts, where it is kept until
utilized in the manufacture of fertil-
izer. The carcass revOlyes on the wheel
until it reaches a point where 1t is
automatically removed and fastened
to a trolley system which conveys 1t
into the scraping-roOm. Here it passes
through machine, provided with re-
volving blades, which removes most of
the bristles, preserving them so that
they can be later made into brushes.
The carcass is then passed into vat
or tank of boiling water, which softens
the balance of the bristles so that they
can be easily removed by hand. From
this apartment it is conveyed by ma
chinery into the chill-room, where it
remains for twenty-four hours before
being cut into sections.
The carcass, freed from blood and
brlstles, is now ready for the cleaver,
who separates 1t into the hams and
sides for bacon, and removes the fat,
which is to be converted into lard
and other products. The cutting is
done so dexterously that a few min
utes suffice for one man to separate
the hog into several portions. Then
The hams and bacon are placed in reser-
voirs filled with picking composition,
Of which each company has its own

visions are placed in the salt-room,
where they remain from forty to sixty
days. The same length Of time is re-
quired also for the hams and bacon.

processes comes the smoking which

where are located some of the largest
packing plants, are the most extensive
In the world, having accommodations
for nearly $4,000 hogs, 10000 cattle
and 1900 sheep. Yearly 100000
cattle and 100000 hogs are slaugh-

Ing Town" which really forms a sec
lion of the yards. A further estimate
Of the extent OF the industry can be
gained when 1t Is stated that the space
devoted to pens alone comprises 200
acres, while the yards are traversed
by 100 miles Of railroad track and
wenty miles Of streets, and the troughs
from which the live stock are fed and
watered aggregate seventy-five miles
in length.
As far as possible machinery has
been employed, with the result that
one q the large companies treats 1000
hogs in a day, where by hand less than
zen per cent of this number can be
disposed Of. While the killing itself is
still done by manual labor, the butcher
has every appliance to further his

chopped into fine particles by rapidly

skins made of the intestines Of the
hog, these intestinal skins being, of
course, first thoroughly cleaned by
machinery. A part of this machinery,
which is operated by compressed air,
will fill several feet Of sausage skin

by merely tying the skin with strings

The beef affords q much greater

stated, every portion of the animals
is put to some use in the modern

in plants adjacent to the packing

| Chicago manufacture their own cans
for liquid and solid products, and own
/ the factories for making boxes and
barrels, while one company operates
a mill for making bagging for hams.
AS 100000 packages may be filled In q
week with liquid and solid food, the
economy Of this plan is apparent. Even
in the preparing Of what is known as
canned corned beef the tins are filed
with the cooked meat by machinery,
the contents Of each package being
nodded so that they fit to nicely.
After filling and soldering, the pack
age is placed in boiling water. then a
hole is made in the top to allow the
gas to escape, and it is resoldered,
keeping the contents in good condition
for a period Of years in any climate.
The trolley system is being used not
only in the abattoirs for transferring
the carcasses, but for the general trans
fer Of packages and cars from one
point to another. The electric motor
hauls everything, from a truck to a
railroad car The method used for
transferring the carcasses usually con-
sists of an overhead bar or rail, along
which the trolley is moved, taking its

PASSES THE HOUSE.
Bill to Amend the District of Columbia
Code

Washington, May 2S.-At II o'clock
the house resumed the legislative ses-
sion of the previous day to complete
the consideration of the bill to amend
the District of Columbia code. 1t was
passed few minutes before noon and
at the latter hour the house met to be-
gin new legislative day.
The consideration of the immigra-
tion bill, which was discontinued last
Thursday, was resumed. Several ver-
bal amendments were adopted.
Speaking to a pro forma amendment
Mr.. Ball (Tex) severely criticised the
conduct of the committee on library,
which he said had shown favoritism on
the occasion of the unveiling of the
Rochambeau statue last Saturday by
reserving certain seats for certain
members of the house after assuring
other members that there were to be
no reserved seats. He mentioned the
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Nc.
Cleary (Minn.), by name and de-
nounced the action of the committee
as a gross and fragrant indignity upon
the membership of the house. Mr.. Nc
Cleary, who was present, made no re-
ply.
