and fat hogs and sheep ready to be
| converted into pork and mutton. The
packing house is also exhibited, show
ing the various steps taken in siaugh-
tering, cleaning and skinning the ami
mails, interesting processes to those
| who have never seen the busy systena-
tic work done in the American packing
| houses, where a hog is killed, cleaned
and cut up in less time than it takes to
tell about it.
The st. Joseph stockyard exhibit is
sent by the Association of packing
houses TO that city, and illustrates one
of the worlds great industries that few
people ever have an opportunity of see
ing. At the Worlds Fair this interest
ing exhibit is open and free to all visi-
tors.
In the Government building is an
other stockyards exhibit, as a part of
the animal plant industry, showing the
cattle in pens, halves of beef in cold
storage and other stockyard features.
QUEER CONVEYANCES SHOWN.
A study of history in the quaint and
curious methods of trans oortation used
| is given at glance in the Transports
| ton building at the Worlds Fair. Here
everything is shown, from the Chinese
| wheelbarrow to the giant locomotive
and palatiaI railway coaches, from the
! dfminutive donkey carts of old Mexico
and South America to the great racing
| automobiles of today. a more motley
collection of old carts, sledges, pack
mules, llamas and oxen never before
was seen in an exposition.
Here is a mountain bullock sled from
Madeira heavy crude and cumber-
some thing drawn by two small oxen
such as is used in the mountainous
countries of southern Europe. Next to
this stands an old Chinese wheelbarrow
so generally used in the Celestial King
dom in lieu of wagons and railways,
for hauling things to market and NOV
ing goods of all kinds. A patient dro-
medary equipped for a journey across
the desert stands near, as if ready to
start on his hot and weary trip through
the sands of Arabia.
By way of still greater variety, the
handsome and commodious palanquin
used by Mrs. French-Sheldon in her
celebrated African expedition stands
next. In this palanquin the explorer
was carried by four Africans on her
long journey. It was her house and
shelter as we'll as her means of travel.
The faithful little burros used by the
Indians in the mountains of South
America for transportation purposes
stand with their packs and panniers as
if waiting for the command to start.
A milk seller, from Bogota, Colombia,
| on little mule with large milk cans
strapped on both sides is next in line,
and then come more South American
burros and llamas from Peru,
with large panniers loaded upon their
| backs.
Near by is a Turkish street porter S
outfit from Constantinople, meek little
mule carrying large panniers to ac-
commodate his cargo.
a Red river OK cart, made entirely of
wood and drawn by single OK. is one
| of the queerest of all these many
strange conveyances, A rolling tobac-
co hogshead with a large rod in the
! center, drawn by yoke of oxen.
| shows how tobacco was hauled from
| the Virginia plantation to market in
| the early colonial days. Next to this
| Is a primitive New Mexican ox-cart
| with spokelessz wheels, attached to a
yoke of patient bullocks. one of the
| crudest vehicles in the entire lot.
