This total is realized from the sale
Of fresh meats (beef. mutton and
pork, provisions. produce (poultry,
butter and eggs), soaps. Clues, oils,
bones. fertilizers. feathers, castings,
hides, woods, pelts and other by-prod-
ucts derived from cattle, sheep. hogs
and poultry.
Margin Of Profit.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin Of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
tion with the packer doing an inter
state and International business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes In the
industry. no complicated and expen-
sive factories. and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city. and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
siaughtering will long remain fac
tor in the production Of fresh meats
and provisions.
Economic ADVANTAGES,
The large packing houses will, how
ever, always have these advantages:
Locations at the chief live stock cen.
tiers. with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock; manufacturing in
large quantities, at the minimum of
expense; utilization of all waste mate
rial; refrigeration: mechanical appli
ances; highly enicient business man
agement. These advantages are re-
hected in the quality of the packers
output, a quality that has reached its
highest development in the products
bearing the name and brand of
Swift"
Purchasing Live Stock.
The principal live stock centers are
Chicago. Kansas City. Omaha. st.
The Dolores star., 1906-02-02

Louis. st. Joseph, St. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods of pur-
chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail
at all cities. At Chicago, which is
the largest market, there are about
two hundred and fifty buyers, repre-
senting packers, local slaughterers in
various cities and exporters. OF this
number, less than a score are employ
ed by Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago. consigns them to q commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them. make their offers to the COM
mission dealer, who accepts or rejects
as his judgment dictates. All buying
must be finished at 3 o'clock each day,
and the buyer must pay spot cash.
II the commission man has NO salts
factory offers. he can hold his stock
over to the next day. He gets his
commission from the farmer, and nat
urally strives to get the highest pos
sible price for his client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house Is a
giant refrigerator. but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang
the carcasses. Some of the houses
cost as much as hundred thousand
dollars to build and equip. Az rule
they are Of pressed brick, the insides
being lined-noor, walls and ceiling
with highly polished hardwood. The
floors are covered daily with fresh
sawdnst, and all are kept spotlessly
clean. There are over three hundred
Of these Wholesale hnHssy in various
cities Of tie unifs Mites, and the
public il always welcome to visit
them.
Packing Piants.
All the Swift 4 Company plants are
located at the great ltYe stock mar
kets. in the heart Of the great agri-
cultural sections, where can be pur-
chased the finest grades Of cattle,
sheep and hogs. We have seven pack
ing plants. employing at each from
two to eight thousand persons.
The following gives the locations
and sizes Of the different plants:

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Pamoss Method Known ~ the
BOustFOphedOn,

The PamoSs Method Known a. the
BOustFophedOn.
About the year 400 u. c. the Ionians
frst introduced the system OF writing
from left 10 right. Previous to that
time all scribes and penmen In general
had been In the habit Of beginning the
line on the right hand side Of the page
and running II toward tho left The
introduction OF the left to right mode
Of writing caused considerable confu.
sion for time. and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol-
lowing century sprang the famed meth.
cd known a. the boustropbedon. Those
who used the system Lust mentioned
would begin line ut the left margin
Of their parchments and run II through
70 the opposite margin and then drop
space below and run back TO the op.
posIte edge OF the sheet again. In 9th.
o. words. the boustrophedon mode OF
writing was q system In which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right 10 left. This system did not
sntirely disappear until about the time
% Christ. The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages wers written from
right 10 left. but at about tho time the
Ionians were reforming writing meth.
DDS the Greek letters were changed IN
form from the uncial 20 the cursive.
and the system Of writing was changed
IA both cases 20 ~ TO run from left to
right The following quotation from
franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous.

pUNy CHILDREN
Words of Interest to Every Mother
I'm North Yakima.

Surely the mothers are not to
blame for that which they can
not help said our well known
druggist, Mr. Fred L. Janeck,
during a recent interview, but
when we see so many thin.
pale faced and puny children
on our streets we cannot help feel
ing that mothers are to blame, and
we wish we could tell every mother
in North Yakima what Vinol will do
for her children"
Vinol is not patent medicine,
but it contains in highly concen-
trated form all the strength-cre-
ating and body building elements of
cod liver oil, actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, without grease or
oil. 1t does not upset the stomach
like old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions, and its taste is so de-
licious that children love it.
Vinol strengthens the most deli
cate stomach, makes rich, red blood,
builds strong bone structure, creates
hard, firm tissue and rosy-cheeked
sturdy children are the inevitable
result.
Mrs. Jennie Perse of Mansfield,
Ohio, says that her little boy had
over-studied and was so run down
that he was a mere shadow. Vinol
made him a strong, we'll boy in a re-
markedly, short time.

ACTOR Is DYING.
j. g. Cheney of the Orpheum Stock
Company Cannot Live.

Lying in the hospital sick with
brain fever, and in such an advanced
stage that all hope of recovery has
been given up, is the condi-
ton of J. G.. Cheney, former
member of the Lee Morris Theater
At a late hour last night Mr..
Glenney was in a state of unconsci-
BUSINESS and it was not thought that
he could pull through till morning.
A sad feature in connection with
the case lies in the fact that no one
seems to know anything about the
relatives of the doomed man. He
has been in comotose condition for
several days, and prior to that time
his friends, thinking that he would
get we'll, did not make any inquiry
concerning his family. Now, when
they realize his condition, the man is
too far gone to give out any facts.
He had joined the Woodmen OF
the World just prior to his sickness
and in case of death they will take
care of the remains.
