Sheep and hogs are often carried in
ears with two stories. These are known
as double -deckers. and the animals are
shipped In both stories. They have
room to lie down in and wafer Is sup
piled to them from pipes.
Horses and cattle are sidetracked nj
intervals II the ears are making long
run. and the beasts are led out and al
lowed to run around for exercise. Then
they are driven back to their ears and
resume their journey.
Sheep are often unlOaded within a
few miles Of their destination and
turned loose to rest and feed until they
are in good flesh. This Is not done
merely from motives Of humanity. 1t
