Man and Boy Converted into Lard {.

Confederation OF stories that men have
fallen into the rendering csldrOns at
the Chicago sloekyards and their flesh
has been converted into lard came yes
terday. A. NJ. Simons. who for more
than three years was the Agent OF the
Chicago Bureau of Charities, at its
stockyaEds station, furnished iniorma-
lion for the stories told by Upton Sin
clair, in "The Jungle, aud others.
During the time that he WAS stationed
there. 10 The year 1898, Two instances
came directly under Mr.. Simon's notice,
and he was informed of third, though
he will not vonch for the latter case.
The csses that came directly under his
notice were those of boy, 10 years old,
and the child's father. In speaking OF
the cases yesterday he said he could not
remember the name, though he had
made record OF i at the time, and
those records are still in the Office Of the
Bureau of Charities.
al think the name was Hammond. OF
something similar" he said. "The fam
iy lived in tenement in west Forty
seventh street, near Ashland avenue,
Chicago.
"The boy. who carried his father s
dinner to him every day, went too near
one of the steam csldrons, which are moi
protected 10 any way, and his father, wait
ing for him, heard his death scream as
he slipped and fell hesdlong into the
scalding steam, carrying his dinner
basket with him.
"The father made frantic efforts to get
to the boy, and his fellow-wOrkmen did
all in their power, but it was 10 minutes
before the steam could he shat of and
an examination made, aud by that time
nothing was left of the boy but the
bones.
at must have bPen q feeling that
somehow he might see his boys face in
the steam that brought the father too
near the edge of the vat, and one day,
only few weeks after the boys death,
his fellow workmen heard a sIihed
scream and saw him fall into the same
vat.
There was no special effort made to
get him out, aud when, after nearly half
an hour, examination was made there
wasn't trace OF him. Even the bones
had dissolved.
"The flesh of this man and OF his boy
went on with the rendered meat in the
caldrou and in due time was placed in
buckets and sold on the market. No at
tempt was ever made TO clean the cald-
ron, and the foreman of the room prob
ably reasoned that it would be too much
of a loss TO throw the entire contents OF
the caldrOn out Just because man had
fallen into il.
"The case came under the attention
of the Bureau OF Charities because the
mans family appealed to us for help.
They told the revolting story aud en-
tered il on the records OF the Office.

agriculture, like other successful enterprises,
is on a different basis than it was IN Grand
fathers day Large crops Of The best quality
produced at low cost, is the Secret OF present
day farming Successes. Thousands OF intelh
gent and progressive farmers are Making
Money today because they have adopted mod
ern methods and machinery and keep informed
about the progress of agricultural develop
ment little more care in the cultivation
and a little more attention to grading, viii

sell at higher prices Little things like these
make the difference between success and fall

knowledge can be had only from experience
or reading the experience Of others. The New
England Farmer Brattleboro, Ntr tine paper

paper through which the successful Money

ideas and methods and compare notes of their
successes and failures. II is the One Great
