Omaha daily bee., 1909-10-03

two weeks, and such as are likely to be
in the market for the next month, are
a good thing for the commission men,
but it means work without ceasing to the
drivers and to the loading and dipping
crews about the yards.
In South Omaha over 800, 1000 head
were received IN the month of Septem-
her and the greater number were resold
to outside feeders and did not go to the
packers. The dipping gangs have run
through over 290, 900 during the month.
When it is considered that the sheep
must pass through the dip single file,
the labor Of the men may be appreciated.
The dip is newly constructed, with a
view to rapid work and the sheep are
rushed through in a constant stream.
The men stand on each side with a re-
versed shepherds crook and catch each
one behind the ears and hurry 1t through,
ducking its head under that there be no
spot not drenched with the dip. The OBJ
ject of dipping is to kill all ticks, lice
and the parasite which causes scabies.
! The government has decided to dip all
sheep whether for state or interstate
trade. This applies to the feeders and
all others not intended for immediate
slaughter. This is one reason why the
large number of men is kept so busy.
The gangs worked night and day all
through the week.
Superintendent J. S. Walters said 1t
would take until Sunday noon to finish
up the weeks run ready for next weeks
heavy receipts. He said the gangs got
about 5000 behind by an unexpected run
Monday and this kept the Chutes of the
dipping run overcrowded all the week.
Aside from dipping there is plenty of
work loading and reloading the cars. The
sheep are handled more rapidly than
ever before, since the many improve
ments Of the company have been COM
pleted. A double chute near the scale
house has done much to relieve the diff
ficulties OF weighing.
