~ HE Union Pacific railroad has
discovered new use for billy
goats and every day at half
hundred stock feeding stations
on the line of the big railroad
system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than 20 consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and proyender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of a band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronIy ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has a flock of goats,
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time
When the 2S-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
it necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along it's line-in
fact, these yards were installed about
every 25 miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law it was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered,
and then reloaded every % hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember hoTr
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. "As timid as a sheep" is
proverb, and it's truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled
If the sheep are in the stock cars
it is a big job to get them out. Efforts
of the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re-
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
it was even necessary that each indi-
vi IL Oh, 10 1&,1
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S-hour limit
expired in the dead of night, when the
sheep were all lying asleep on the
floor of the car. At such times it was
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand method. AT times half an
hour was consumed in unloading a sim
gle car.
After the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain a large force of men at
each feeding station, it being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money,
and lots of it, but there seemed no
means of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to inf1ict a 500 fine every time car
of sheep was not fed and watered
every % hours. Employing the men
was cheaper than fines.
