Louis, st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods of purchas-
Ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago, which is the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in varioua
cities, and exporters. OF this number,
less than a score are employed by
Swift 4 Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, conslgns them to a 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 commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his Judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and
the buyer must p"y spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he car hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A. wholesale distributing house Ia 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 MS n hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS a rule they are Of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling~-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are COW
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these Wholesale
houses in various cities Of the United
States. and the public is always wei
come to visit them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock markets,
In the heart Of the great agricultural
sections, where can be purchased the
finest grades Of cattle, sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing nlants, employ
ing at each from two to eight thousand
persons.
The following gives the locations

Year l0O0 BAle0s
The total distributive sales for 1905
exceeded
e2OO,OoO,Ooo.
This total is realized from the sale
Of fresh meats (beef, mutton and
pork>, provisions, produce tpoultry,
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 Proat.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than ? 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 competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive 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 Strengthening will long
remain u factor in the production of
fresh meats and provisions.
Economic Advantages.
The large packing houses will, how
ever, always have these advantages:
Locations Mt the chief live stock CEN
tiers, with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock; manufacturing in large
quantities, at the minimum of cx-
pense; utilization Of all waste mate

Jack Tar, Hu m orist.

There's never any telling what our
bluejackets will do when "out for
lark" A number of them were in
Londonderry week or two ago, and
a couple of them, walking along Foyle
street, noticed a woman standing on
the footpath with baby in her arms.
One of the "tars" in passing snatched
the baby out of her arms and made off
at full speed toward the Great North
ern railway. For moment the as
tonished mother stood in bewilder
mext. She then raised an alarm and
nan screaming after the bluejacket.
He was joined by others, who seemed
to appreciate the joke immensely. The
whole body rushed through street after
street, the mother still pursuing. In
Ferryquay street the "tars" halted
dashed into a shop, bought perambu-
lator, placed the child in it and retrac-
ed their steps at rafting pace until
they met the Infatuated mother. They
then pulled up, quieted her fears and
handed her over her child in the hand
some new perambulator, which she
wheeled off In pride and triumph. the
bluejackets meantime cheering.-Lon-

Eating Snails.

Four Britons ate snails at a French
restaurant in Brighton, England, not
long ago. Their experiences are de-
scribed as follows: I'm due course the
plates appeared, each bearing half a
dozen snail shells of a dingy white. A
slender two pronged fork accompanied
each dish With this the snails were
jerked out their big black horns COM
ing first. accompanied by small erup-
ton of gravy. One of the experimenters
looked critically at the uninviting OBJ
his eyes and popped 1t into his mouth.
Nils teeth met on something yielding,
(but tough, rather suggestive Of india
rubber. All four epicures manfully ate
their six snails."

Summer Song.

Down in the field where the clover grows,
Where the sun drenched air the song bird
knows,
Where the crimson petals the heart dis
close,
The golden heart OF the fragrant rose,
We wander at will
Our hearts athrill
In the wonderful summer weather
But down from the hills comes a gentle
man COW,
UNLIMITED. but keen to start a row.
He lowers his head and shows us how
We may use our backbones for a pillow.
Then over the fence
He losses us hence,
And we land in the ditch together.

A famous Michigan egg raiser occa-

gems made from "strass." as the com

to the strass its brilliancy, while the
