enesis and Growth of the Meat Packing Industry
How Fortunes Made Discarded Mater

genius fertile in expedient made the
| discovery that the oil extracted from
| beef suet could be used as substitute
| for butter. That resulted in the launch
| ing of oleomargarine as an articlee of
commerce. The substance is chemical
ly a butter fat. The animal substance
is washed in milk and sailed and color
ed until it may easily be mistaken for
the genuine article.
The causes which have contributed to
the very marked increase in the prices
of meats and meat products in the last
few years have been numerous and to
some extent unavoidable. 1t is conven-
lent to make an end of the matter by
dividing the responsibility between the
cattle barons and the packers. but that
expedient falls short of the facts in the
case. Various other agencies have been
al work to remove meat from the rap
idly diminishing list of cheap foods for
the people. One of the most potent of
them all is the increase in population.
At first suggestion it would seem that
the only thing necessary to meet that
problem would be increased live stock
production. 1t is a matter of record.
however, at least in this country, that
with the increase in population there is
a corresponding decrease in the raising
Of live stock. The pastures and ranges
are being gradually converted into tilla-
BILE fields, and the old time methods and
prodigality must give place to more in
tensive systems. The expense of pre-
pairing animals for the market is thus
greatly increased, and the consumer
must suffer in consequence. The prin-
cipal part contributed by the organized
producers of meat products to the mod
ern readjustment of prices was effected
by making it impossible for the single
individual who could not command
large capital to continue in the bust
ness.
AS it stands, the business as it is
conducted in America is among the
largest and most important industries
in the world. In no other country is
there so much hard work done, so much
machinery used, so much risk taken. In
no other country are many workmen
employed and in no other country is so
much capital required to conduct the
business.

enter the inclined passage which leads
to the pens. The trained animal walks
up the incline as though it were the
only proper course to pursue. Disarm-
ed by the example OF one of their own
kind. the others follow.
1t is the universal custom at the
stockyards for packers to purchase
daily for spot cash only as many ami
mails as are to be converted into meat
products on that day. For that reason
the buying is done in the early morn
ing, and the score or more of railroad
companies that control the belt line
which is used in common by them all
have established a system whereby all
stock consigned to them is delivered
into the pens of the stockyards during
the night or early morning so that buy
ers may be on the ground at daybreak
If they so elect.
Under the old methods OF packing
meats the entire edible product, with
the exception of that sold as fresh
meat, was cured and sold in the form
of hams, bacon. sides. dried beef, corn
ed beef. etc. The first decided innova-
ton was the general adoption of the
process invented by Appert for canning
meat This discovery gave a great i'm
petus to the business and extended the
radius of its activity over a vastly in
creased territory. Then came the re-
frigerator car. This improvement en-
abled the packer TO ship his product to
the most remote parts of the country
and to establish depots in all the larger
markets, from which the meat might
be distributed through the surrounding
regions When refrigeration was ex-
tended to ocean going steamers the
field widened immensely. and the bust
ness assumed huge proportions. For
some time after the processes of can
ming and refrigeration were perfected
it was the custom to ship stock alive to
the Seaboard and there prepare it for
the European market In time. how
ever. it was made apparent that it was

, At the present time the live stock rails
er knows that he may feed any number
of animals of any grade and ship them
with the absolute certainty that he will
receive the market price for his product
in hard cash. In the old days he often
had to wait several days before a mar
ket could be found. The demand was
limited, and the waste and expense of
getting to market were as likely to
mean loss as profit.
Though the packing and dressed meat
business is commonly regarded a
monopoly, it is not so in every sense of
the term. There are actually more than
thousand different firms in the United
States engaged in the industry and the
capital now invested is considerably
over $500. 000. 900. According to reliable
estimates, the abattoirs and farmers
slaughter annually about 100000 cat
tie and calves. 100000 hogs and 49,
600, 900 sheep. That means about 1900,
900, 900 pounds of beef. 100000. 600
pounds of pork and 100000 600 pounds
of mutton. This makes an annual total
of 1860. 900, 900 pounds of meat. This
estimate. of course. is exclusive of by
products.
The most reliable estimate of the
worlds hocks and herds indicates that
there are 100000 cattle. 100000. 900
sheep, 10o.00o.00o hogs and possibly TO-,
100000 goats That furnishes $780,

AN ILLUMINATINc GRAZ.

One of the marine curiosities fshed
some time ago from the bottom of the
Indian ocean was a. mammoth sea crab
white light similar to that seen in the
spasmodic flashes of phosphorescent lu-
minosity emitted by the common glow
worm. The crab was captured in the
daytime and placed in large tank con-
tanning specimens of fish, nothing pc

ticeable in the broad glare of the trop-
icaI sun. At night, however, when all
was pitchy darkness, the crab lit up
the tank so that the other creatures in
it could be plainly seen.

commercial fertilizer plants at several
points and can hardly supply the de-
mand. All of the cotton growing states
depend on this product, and nearly all
the winter wheat producing states are
now obliged to use it. To illustrate the
extent to which this utilization of the
formerly, discarded byproducts of the
meat packing industry has been carried
it will be sufficient to state that some
of the great companies have establish
ed pharmaceutical laboratories. at
which many articles of medicinal value
are prepared. Pepsin is one of the best
known of them. The large packing
houses have also built up an enviable
reputation as manufacturers of stand
ard grades of extracts of beef.
Both the live stock grower and the
general consuming public have been
greatly benefited by these discoveries.

world. OF this population 100000, 900
are grain eating Asiatics. For the S0,-
100000 people in the United States
there is an available live stock supply
of $4,000. 600 animals. That gives an
allowance of more than two animals
for every man. woman and child in the
country. That would be, in round num-
bers. 500 pounds of fresh beef, 100
pounds of fresh pork and "a pounds of
mutton for each person. This estimate
takes no account of edible byproducts-
they would increase the per capita av-
erage with another thirty pounds; so if
all the stock in the country were killed
and distributed equally each person
would be entitled to about 664 pounds.
1t would be unfair in this brief ac
count of the growth of meat products
to ignore oleomargarine. During the
