America and the island possessions OF
the United States
The improvement in packing opera
tons has reached the point OF the al
most absolute elimination of human
muscle. Practically the only work done
by men in high grade factory Is brain
work. The actual operations are accom-
plished by a series Of highly specialized
machines working with seemingly hui
man intelligence.
In one of the greatest packing con-
Germs in the country, the Van Camp
Packing Company Of Indianapolis the
elimination of the human element has
been carried to the highest point. IL
was realized that in order to secure abb
solutely sanitary conditions in the can
ming Of their products it was necessary
not only that the vegetables which went
into the cans be handled by machinery
but that the cans themselves should re-
ceive the same care.
To accomplish this has required COM
plete Encouragement of the factory and
the installation of expensive devices. The
final link in the chain of equipment TO
attain this desired end has just been COM
pleted. 1t is the fruit OF the study and
experiments of the superintendent Of the
factory, Mr.. Raymond
Machinery Does All.
To understand how thoroughly this ma
chinery substitutes absolutely sanitary
mechanical operations for hand work 1t
is only necessary to follow the progress OF
a can through the factory. The cans are
received in bulk in carloads at the door OF
the factory Formerly corps OF boys
picked up the cans by inserting their mn
gers through the tops. Several more
landings Of like nature were required
before the filed cans were ready to be
sealed up.
With the new arrangement an auto

and crossing the brushy heads Of the
ravines, sometimes close together, and
sometimes keeping about hundred
yards apart, according to the nature of
the ground When we had searched
all through the country round the head
of the creek, into which we had come
down, we walked over to the next, and
went over 1t with equal care and pa
thence. The morning was now well
advanced, and we had. to change our
method Of hunting. 1t was no longer
likely that we should find the deer
feeding or in the open, and instead we
looked for places where they might be
expected to bed. following any trails
that led into thick patches Of brush or
Young trees, one of us then hunting
through the patch while the other kept
watch without. Doubtless we must
have passed close to more than one
deer, and doubtless others heard us
and skulked of through the thick
cover; but. although we saw plenty OF
signs. we saw neither hoof nor hair
of living thing.
We lunched at the foot Of great
clay butte, where there was bed Of
snow.

PACKING PORK AND BE

matte hand" picks up the cans and
places them in a conveyor which carries /,
them to the top of the building and drops
them into a channel down which they be-
gin rolling. This channel directs them
first through the sterilzing room where
they are washed and thoroughly sterilixed
while passing In the next room they are
dropped, open end up on moving belt
which carries them through q machine

Dropping of at the end Of this belt the
cans are again elevated to the ceiling
and roll down channel leading to
machine which automatically fills each can
with its quota OF beans, boiling hot from
the kettles. From this machine they pass
directly to a second which deposits in
each can the required amount Of tomato
sauce. The tomato sauce 10 fed directly
through this machine from pipes leading
from the copper kettles In which It 10
made in the room above.
From the sauce machine the cans pass
to the Gaping machine and then drop
into great crates. Each crate holding
several hundred cans Of beans - moved
as fast as filed to tho oven room, where
they are placed in huge ovens ana sub
Jected to 245 degrees Of heat forsexactly

The End Of the Journey.
| After the baking tie cans ara flooded
with cold water to "nx'' the blended con-
tents and the crates arc removed from
the ovens and are set aside to cool. They
are then taken to the labelling room and
the cans are emptted from the crates
into the hopper Of the labelling machine.

q handsome label neatly pasted around
| each can they are touched, for the f1rst
time since they reached the faetory. by
human fingers. and this merely to place
them in their proper position IN the
Il
wooden cases.
In the selection and handling Of tho
Ingredients which make Van Camp beans
a toothsome and nutritious food even
greater care II exercised. Only the finest
hand-picked navy beans arc used. The
buying public has been repeatedly In
formed that these beans cost $40 q
bushel, although beans can be bought
for 80 cents. This IL not Joke nor an
advertising exaggeration. A glance at
the plump. white beans which may DO
seen in the kettles Of the Van Camp
factory every morning win reveal tho
tremendous difference between frst-class
beans and the 80 cent variety.
But the Van Camp people are not satis-
fed merely with buying the finest beans
to be had in the market. The beans have
been carefully cleaned and picked over at
the bean elevators and are guaranteed to
be the finest hand-picked beans in the
market.
