INDIAN ARROWHEAD.

The American Indian has given fur ther evidence of former tenancy of Stonewall farm, the summer home of Walter Russell, the artist, in the shape of two large flint arrow heads found in the cornfeld by Miss Helen Russell, the artists daughter. These make four arrowheads found in this same cornfeld. Last year two were found and bit of painted earthenware which was distinctly primitive. In honor of the first inhabitant Mir Russell has had a bronze tablet made of one of Edward s. Curtis we'll known Indian heads and will set it in boulder on the farm much in the same manner as the bronze relief of William Hamilton Gib- son is set. As the four arrowheads were found within 50 feet of each oth- CT it is quite evident that camp ex- isted on that identical spot long. long ago. As the view from that spot is superb MT Russell feels convinced that the Indian of Connecticut had decid- ed artistic temperament.

Swift e. Co.-Meat Packers.

This company has issued a little
pamphlet OF about 90 pages, giving a
short schedule of the work which
Swift & Co are doing-where they are
doing it and what the aggregate of
their doing reaches.
Among other things which this lit
tie pamphlet contains is a synopsis of
tie development of the distribution of
meats throughout the Nation, and
which becomes possible through the
construction and use of refrigerator
cars. 1t says:
1.-THE gradual development of beef
houses as they We're originally
designated, into splendid wholesale
distributing markets has, next to re-
frigeration, worked a greater revolu-
ton in the distribution of meat foods
ard produce than any other agency.
The old fashioned beef house was con-
temporary with the original refriga-
tor car, and it's chief, almost sole,
function was to supply beef. mutton,
and pork to local dealers. Today our
branch houses are wholesale diStribu
ting markets. They supply the retailer
with beef, veal. mutton, pork. prOvi-
sions, poultry. butter eggs, cheese and
many olner food products requiring
refrigeration. Each new market shows
some Improvement over it's latest mo-
de-, the constant aim being to per-
feet the facilities for the receiving,
storing, and selling of supplies.
"SWift g. Co.'S business has been
brought to d very high state of per-
lection through the aid of these whole
sale distributing markets. They form
the important and necessary connect
ing link between the packing plant and
the retail dealer in meats, provisions
and produce"
Upon another page is to be found the
branch offices Of the great home plant,
which. Of course, is located in Chicago,
and from which we gained the in
formation that besides the home Of
flee and plant, there are six other
plants distributed widely through the
Central West and one in the extreme
South. The plant in Chicago occupies
40 acres of land, with buildings cover
ing A. acres-and the floor space of
those buildings throughout the seven
packing houses aggregates 237 acres.
This company was reorganiZed few
years ago with a capital stock of $50
600. 0O0 Of which 1914 employees are
holders 1t is also stated that the to-
tel sales for the current year of 1907
aggregated the enormous sum of $780,
