Sometime general and exceedingly

breeding and raising Of trout for home
consumption and the available neighbor-
ing markets. Innumerable Vermont
farms offer magnificent natural oppor-
tunities for this industry. II there Is

your premises the foundation and much
Iof the superstruetue Of the industry Is
already at hand Prepare on area Of the
size which you desire the little pond or
reservoir to contain on the little brook
aDd not far from the spring which sup
Plies It, and then build a safe, tight and
serviceable dam Proper screens on the
dam and an adequate and continuous
supply Of pure water and you are ready
for business. Trout fry can be procured
frcm the state hatchery IL the authors
ties are assured that the plant Il proper
IN fitted for them. All that remains to
b. done then Is 10 see that they don't
escape, that they have plenty Of suit
able food and that they are secure from
the depredations of the minks and musk
rats With a little well directed energy
and industry many a farmers boy could
thus convert the waste spring water in
to more hard dollars than could other
wise be realized from months Of hard
labor on the farm IL would require
very little Of his time, and would BE-

and by a most ingenious and efficient system
Of gates and alleys, reminding one much Of
the locks of a canal. the stock is thrown into
the proper sections.
There are miles Of fences and alleys. The
stsunch divisions of rough weather-stained,
implanted lumber stretch in grey vistas across
1874 level acres. In the feeding pens the
shippers stock is given opportunity to regain
the weight lost in transit, shrinkage
they call it.
Fed and watered, the stock is ready for
the scrutiny Of the prospective buyer. When
sold the yards company, as an entirely disin-
terested party, must ascertain the weight Of
the stock and certify to It. Big weighing
pens and scale houses, with weighmaster and
checkers who count out the number of head,
constitute the force at this point in the busy
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

The wild west and the long horns are gone.
The cattle raiser is today as much of an expert
as the farmer; he, too, must make his acres
pay. There is no more free grass.
The South Omaha stock yards represent a
city by itself. A hotel is operated by the
company in the heart Of the yards. While de-
pendent on Omaha's water service, the yards
have their own fire protection. In the thirty
eight little stations at each fire plug" there
is an ample supply of fire hose, and any blaze
in the yards is readily confined and controlled.
The same system of mains furnishes water for
the flushing and sanitation of the yards.
Far-reaching improvements in the stock
yards are under way. The acres Of brick
paving which extends through the pens and
alleys are being replaced with concrete floors,
more sanitary and more durable. The re-

canal that leads to the slaughter pens Of the
packing plants.
n the stock yards of these modern days Of
commercial science one sees little of the pic
turesque features which colored the cattle
business Of other days. About all that is left
to be seen Of the old-time cowboy costume
here is the sombrero, and that more often is
displaced by headgear of less spectacular pro-
portions. The chaps and twin slx-shooters
have passed into the memories ot-other days.
South Omaha is far from a frontier. The
ranches where grew the cattle that fill our
markets no longer extend over those indefinite
ranges which their ambiguity formed the
basis Of contention in the gun fights of the
prairie. One might spend a month in the
yards without seeing a single specimen Of that
far-fsmed old western type of cowpuncher.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-09-26

newal of the structures about the yards is con-
stantly In progress. A force OF carpenters is
always at work at some point. Lumber there
is figured in millions, not thousands, Of feet.
The capacity of the yards is quoted in inn
pressive figures. Thirty thousand head of
cattle can be yarded there at once. Rooted
pens make 1t possible to keep 10000 head Of
sheep under cover, and each shipment sepa-
rate from the other. Stall room for coo
horses is available. while the ultimate ca
pacity for horses and mules is 1900. Fifty
thousand hogs can be handled in the yards.
An interesting process Of the yards is the
sheep-dipping plant. Here 10000 sheep a
day can be put through the anti-scab treat
ment, under the eye of the government inspec-
tor and supervisor. The animals are thrown
by a moving platform unceremoniously into a
trough filled with the dip solution. A dozen
"dippers'' stationed along the 100 feet of the
route see that the sheep are ducked and
soaked with the powerful but harmless solu-
ton.
The yards company maintains sales pavil-
ions for horses, mules and fancy stock, by way
of encouragement to the industry. The fancy
stock pavilion is a model Of its kind. A spa
cious amphitheater seating several hundred
persons is devoted to the purposes of this de-
partment.
The constant effort Of the management of
the yards is to avoid congestion of stock and
keep the stream moving constantly. To this
end a system of overhead and underground
passages has been constructed. From the
cars to the slaughter pens there need be no
interruption in the movement of a shipment
Of stock. The incoming hundreds do not
meet those going out to the abattoirs.
The real practical iokers of the stock yards
are the trained goats used by the packing
company to decoy the sheep from the pens to
the slaughter houses. The wary old goats.
with years in the service, understand and ap-
preciate the game with all of the wickedness
that CLEANS from their baleful eyes. Starting
up the chute as though on the road to green
pastures, the goat leads the sheep. They fol-
low to their doom with the meek confidence
for which they have gained such notable dis
%tinction. Up to the slaughtering floor the
goat leads his flock and then, turning them
over to the butcher, he gambols back to the
yards in glee. The trained goats save the en-
~ployment Of a man to drive the sheep.

Stock Yards Of South Omaha. 1t is there that
the stock, the material Of the trade OF the
restless market, is fed and lodged during the
transactions through which the producer con-
verts animals into money. o
Don't go to the stock yards for romance
nothing but the spirit of blunt and rugged
utilitarianism is to be found there. Inn
mensity and confusion is the first impression,
then as the eye adjusts to the view the yards
resolve into a lake of animal life, fed by the
railroads from the faraway ranches and dis
charging in vari-colored streams into the
abattoirs
From the ranches and feed lots Of the ter
ritory which supplies the Omaha market the
railways last year delivered annually more
than $4,000 carloads of live stock. The
5000, 900 animals must be fed, watered and
weighed before their journey to the killing
pens Of the buying packers. The South
Omaha stock yards have been growing with
the demands of the market here for twenty
FIVE years.
In August of 1884 the South Omaha yards
opened; truly the industry, still increasing,
bespeaks a healthy infancy. The western
shippers demanded a market in the Transmits
souri, country and their patronage has brought
prosperity to South Omaha. The first year
more cattle were received than could be
slaughtered here and the surplus was reloaded
and forwarded to other markets to the east
ward. South Omaha got the cattle; that was
demonstrated. Then the packers came and
the future of the stock business here was as
sured.
Delivered at the terminals by the railroads
the stock yards company assumes charge alb
solute over every shipment Of stock. Equip
ped with its own tracks and locomotives, the
yards company handles its thousands of ami
NAL guests daily with facility. From the rails
to the feeding pens is an easy step. Chutes

Halleys comet. which has an eXtraor-
binary history in classical and astro-
nOmical literature and which was last
seen in 1885. is, according TO the local
astronomers. now within the orbit Of the
planet Jupiter and is coming into the
orbit OF the earth at the rate Of million
miles a day.
The perihelion passage OF the comet
in the sky will mark the most important
astronomical event Of the year 19O9-I9l0.
1t will probably be detected by a tele-
scope In the south in the course Of a
few weeks as faint nebulous object
near the constellation orion. Already
celestial photography has IL located in
limitless space far beyond the vision OF
the most delicate telescope research.

THEIR PAY nov In DOUBT
Longevity Dispute Concerns Many
Teachers.
COmptrOlier's Decision Rules that
Amendment Does Not Apply to
Teachers Employed.

Whether a recent decision OF Comp
troller Of the Treasury Tracewen will en-
title a large number Of teachers in the
public schools TO pay under the longevity
provision Of the school laws. has raised
doubt IN the minds Of District officials.
The Comptroller in deciding that H. L.

OF the Thirteenth division OF the schools,
and W. T. S. Jackson. former principal
Of the NJ Street High School, both re-
Gently reduced 10 teachers in the NJ
Street High School. are entitled 10 addi-
tional pay by reason OF their longevity
OF service. raise the question Of doubt
The District courts and the Comptroller
have been asked to interpret the law
which reads as follows:
That teachers hereafter employed in
normal. high. and manual training
schools may be placed in Group A.
class 6, and receive their longevity IN
crease. according to their number Of
years OF experience in teaching in accred-
tied normal. high, or manual training
schools"
The question OF doubt is due 70 the
use Of the words hereafter employed 90
Auditor Tweedale. when the question was
first raised. asked the Comptroller OF the
! Treasury for a ruling on the following
general proposition:
Whether the words hereafter employ
ed relates 10 teachers thereafter ap-
pointed and employed who were not at
the time Of the passage Of the act
connected with the Washington public
school service. or should the words be
given a broader meaning. so as 20 IN

as the teachers in the graded schools who
may from time 20 time be promoted into

/ teachers in high, manual training and
normal schocls). and who have had ex-
I perience in teaching in accredited normal
high. and manual training schools"

lows:
TT would follow that teacher who
had been appointed and assigned 70
Group a. class g. in the probationary
class prior 10 the passage OF the act
and who became a permanent employe in
Group A. class G. after the passage OF
said act would not be entitled 20 receive

unless the teacher was entirely separated
from the school service prior 70 the pas
sage OF the act OF May 26. 1905. and ap-
pointed or re-employed as a new teacher
after It's passage.
THE second part Of the question must
be answered In the negative. for ths
reason that the act is wholly prospective
and the act OF employment referred q
must be in future. and as these old
teachers have a fixed tenure and are
promoted in course. the act OF May IS
