driving logs through a sluice. By q
touch acquired only by long experience
these men tell when the hog is DONE which
means that the bristles and hair have been
sufficiently loosened by the soaking process.
At the end of the trough a sturdy workman
shackles the hog to a travelling chain which
carries the animal through the cleaning ma
chine, one of the most ingenious devices seen
in the abattoir. Here as the carcass is pulled
through a score or more Of flexible heaters
shod with metal scrapers attack the bristles.
The hog energies stripped clean, white and
glistening. A def finger of steel lifts the hog
again from the chain and the body is deposited
on a moving bench. On either side stand a half
dozen workmen. They scrape away each re-
naming hair. Every man has his part Of the
hog to watch and never an animal is missed
in the steady current Of carcasses. A man
with a big knife all but sewers the head from
the body as it passes. This is to expose to
the eyes OF the government inspector standing
next along the route the glands of the neck.
Here may first be discovered traces of disease
which may unfit the hog for food. If rejected
by the Inspector the hog is marked for the
special scrutiny of the next inspector, or,
maybe, if the symptoms are indisputable, for
the ISIllllHSI ain IL hOBb paSSSu ny IL
inspector, are mounted on a gambrel stick,
fastened under the tendons of each leg and
again resume their journey on the rail sus-
pended by a sliding trolley wheel.
The rail leads the carcasses past another
row of workmen. each of whom in passing
performs his share in the evisceration of the
hog by a skillful slash with his knife or
cleaver. The viscera is tossed on a table and
submitted to another of the government in
spectors. If deemed fit for food products it
is passed onto an elevator which carries it up
to the sauFage department, while If rejected
the internal economy of the hog goes to the
fertilizer tanks. probably followed by the car
cass, too.
On down the rail the procession Of car
casses passes. The buzzing gasoline torches

which escaped the cleaning machine. An
agile boy watches this point. II the process
sion should stop the flaming torches would
soon fire the pork and then the gravest dan
ger to millions of property would arise. When
trouble dams the stream Of pork the boy by
touching a lever stops the chain and pushes
the hog away from the torch.
Passing the smuggling process, the carcass
passes through a maze OF brushes and sprays
of water under high pressure. This is the
final washing, Then the chain and rail trans

any other, and because Of this interest is
quite likely to see to it that the steer is not
wilfully neglected to the end that he becoms
a loss to his ownr. This wonderful stretch
OF country that runs from the Rio Grande to
the Little Missouri, and even beyond, and
from the Missouri to the Rockies, was laid
out by nature as a breeding and feeding
ground for horned and hoofed beasts. The
buffalo discovered it of their own motion,
and were in full and all but undisputed en-
joyment Of it when the white men first began
to search it out In the early years of the last
century, to see just what it was the young
republic had bought from the upstart ruler Of
the crumbling French empire. And the cattle
men took his cue from the buffalo, and the
great plains became the greatest breeding

of a traffic of immense proportions. who
has not heard stories of Abilene, Dodge City,
Kearney, Sidney, Miles City, Moreau-any one
of a number of shipping towns to which these
cattle we're driven? 1t was quite by accident
that the discovery was made that cattle could
be wintered in the open on the plateaus Of
the northern plain region. When Edward
Creighton was building the telegraph line
across the country from Omaha to San Fran
cisco, in advance of the railroad, he was
caught in a blizzard in Wyoming, on what
is known as the Laramie plains, and had TO
abandon a number of oxen used to drag his
supply wagons. 1t was early in the fall, but
season was given over, and the men in the
party made their way back to civilization,
leaving the scattered oxen to their fate. Iu

life was given to the cattle industry. Texas
yearling were driven up during the spring
and summer months. and for two years kept
then away to market.
Those were the days OF the cowboy. He
was never quite all he has been painted. 1t
would be impossible that such a creature
should exist outside the covers of the BOOK
that contains him. But in many ways the
cowboy very nearly realized all that has been
said Of him. He was first of all a ardwo
ing rough rider. His toll was early and
late, and his way in life was often lonely.
He grew q little careless of his own existence,
and naturally somewhat Indifferent to the
~existenc of others. Under the circumstances
he quite naturally came to rely more on the
law that hung strapped to his hip than on
that which is written down in books. But
easy to follow. and for the most part it was
rigidly adhered to. 1t was give and take
with him, and those who entered on the life
soon came to understand this. His days and
nights were spent in the open, his waking
hours in the saddle, and most OF his sleeping
hours with his saddle under his head and
only a Tucson blanket" over him. For the
information of those who came out here since
the railroad was built, 1t may be explained
that a Tucson blanket" is the star-decked
canopy of heavens blue vault, and no city
dweller ever saw it in its glorious majesty Of
Incompatible beauty as did the lonely cow
boy, who laid him down to rest for a few
hourse on the sun-warmed earth; while a
companion stood his turn at night herding.
And If he occasionally did things that were
unseemly, judged from the standards of a
soberer life, it was not that he was Inherently
bad, but that his nature was free and his
spirits uncomfortable. By his own measure
his judgment should be melted to lin. But
the swan song OF the cowboy was sung long
ago, and it was sung to the accompaniment Of
the farmer lads whistle.
The plains on which the gramma grass and
the bunch grass and the blue stem grew so
luxuriantly, and over which nature scattered
her rich adornment of flowers in such pro-
fusion that one wonders now that the earlier
geographers could ever have referred to this
region as ''the Great American DESERT
unless it was through a patriotic desire to
give to the American continent features that
marked the African and Asiatic-were found

There is nothing left behind. The
pork packers sell the whole hog. A
look at the interior of the big abattoirs
gives one deepest impression of economy
and utilization. Driven from the yards
into the packers pens, the doomed
porker is soon on that eventful Journey
which means death for him n food for
the world. With the beginning of the
days activities a steady stream Of hogs,
impelled by shouting drivers, pours
granting and s%quealing into he killing
room. Seized, despite violent porcine
protests by a kicking hind leg, the hog
is shackled by strong hands M his
chain attached to the rim of a big wheel
revolving vertically. The packers call
It the Ferris" wheel. The hog is de-
livered by the wheel to a steel bar sus-
pended from the roof, known In packing
house patois as the rail" The sus-
pended porker slips down the inclined
rail and is we'll started on his way.
Standing below the rail at a convenient
elevation is the executioner, the
"sticker" they call him. With a keen
knife he sewers the arteries In the
throat of each animal as It slides past.
The life blood gushes from the hog and,
sliding some ten feet farther down the
rail- he tumbles into a long trough OF
scalding water. The stream OF blood
disappears into the floor to reappear
again in the huge tanks of the fertilizer
plant, for nothing is allowed to be lost.
The hog is tumbled about by men armed
with long sticks who urge the steaming
carcass onward as lumber "navies"

throng OF cattle, hogs and sheep, the inces-
SAINT yelis of the drivers mingled in the drone
that rises wherever many men labor, the clat-
ter and roar of long streams of dingy red
stock cars-thesea are the elements of the pic
Omaha, the home of the third largest packing
ture which confronts the visitor to South
industry OF the country. 1t is a sight, i'm
pressiVe. but not, perhaps, inspiring.
Into this strenuous whirl of activity the
railroads annually pour more than 1000, 900
hogs alone, and in turn haul away to the con-
sumers many more millions of dollars worth
OF finished pork and by-products.

sticker's knife, and at the same rate
the other end of the stream was pour
ing into the coolers.
Trickling on from the main stream
of pork, however, are flowing perhaps
a dozen rivulets Of offal and by
product materials. From below the
sticker's feet a river of blood is rum
ming down to the fertilizer plant,
where it is held in tanks. The clean
ing machine deposits hair and bristles
in drifts and pillows. The s~craper's
deposit is picked up by a stream of
water, which prepares it for delivery
to the upholsterers. The bristles go
to the brush-maker and the hair turns
up in mattresses and furniture.
The head of the hog yields the ma
terials for delicatessen, and it, too,
leaves the main channel of travel to
&c to it's own proper department. Just
before the hog gets it's final wash the
leaf lard, internal layers Of fatty mat
ter, are torn away and started on a
conveyor for the lard plant. From
the leaf lard ome the highest grade
OF cooking fats. The lard plant like
wise consumes the fatty trimmings
from all the stations along the rail.
The scraps are tossed into huge rem
dering tanks, where, by the applica-
ton OF heat. the vats are filled with
the melted lard. The Vats extend over
