Salt Petre and sugar.
They are then put in the watts and
covered with seeynty-five de
gree pickle. They are now allow
ed to remain in this pickle only
five days, when they are overhaul
ed and placed in another vat where
they are allowed to remain seven
days, when they are overhauled again
They are again put in watts and are
allowed to remain II days, when they
are overhauled again.
During process of overhauling the
government inspector inspects each
piece with a trier. This trier is
made of steel and is entered into the
ham, it is quickly removed and the
point of the trier will detect all spoil
ed hams by the odor they give. The
object of overhauling is to find sour
hams and have uniform cure of the
meat and if they are not too bad
they can be remedied.
When the hams are cured they are
placed in the freezers that is all
surplus hams. Bacon is handled sim
liar to hams.
The trimmings from the cutting
room are transferred to the sausage
department, where many different
kinds of sausages are made.
The fat is transferred to the lard
department and tried into lard.
The method of rendering lard and
keeping it hard and firm in the
summer months is one of the impor-
tant secrets of the packing industry.
The hair and Off fall are rendered
into grease. The off fall of the grease
tank is converted into fertilizer which
is extensively used in the southern
states.

Before entering into the details of
the manufacture of its products, it
is just and right that I should ex-
plain the construction of the build
ings and yards and the great work
performed by the Bureau of Animal
Industry, in giving the public a pure
food product, which is obtained only
of packing houses and Abattoirs
which are under the supervision of
the Bureau of Animal Industry.
In this country, previous to the
last three or four years, but little
attention has been given to the san
itary character of the buildings de
signed for abattoirs, packing houses
and rendering plants, the dominating
idea being to arrange and construct
the buildings so that the products
from the establishments could be fin
ished and delivered with the least
outlay of capital The result gen
orally has been that the principle
laws of hygiene have been violated,
unless it was found that the market
value of the products decreased be-
cause of the unsanitary conditions
i'll which they We're produced. The
violation of the hygiene laws was,
perhaps, due in part to the lack of
knowledge of such laws and to a fail
ure to appreciate properly the pos
sible harmful results which might be
caused to the community at large
through the consumption of food
products produced under unsanitary
conditions.

He next goes to the gambeI man
who CANDLES the hog by putting a
gamble in the hind legs of the hog,
between the cords near the hoof. OPP
posite the gambel man is the head
err who sewers or cuts off the head
of the hog. The gambel man places
a grooved wheel on the track which
fastens to the gambel stick and the
hog is now conveyed along the track
with his head down, to the rest of
the killers.
Here is where the government in
spectors and doctors get in their
work. The hog now passes through
their hands, who examine all the
lymph glands of the carcass for tu-
berculosis. The dreaded disease in
its first stages is found in the glands
of the neck and all hogs in which tu-
bercuIosis or any other disease is
found is transferred to the condemn
ed rail A close discussion of the
disease could not be given while the
killing is going on, as the hogs are
now coming from 800 to 500 per hour
After the killing is over a more close
examination is given them in which
they are either passed or parts pas
sed for food or condemned for grease
From the hands of the government
men they go to intestine removers
who with one cut of the knife remove
the intestines large and small, heart
liver and stomach, which is placed
on a table and is again examined by
government inspectors who pass then
for containers to hold sausage or
condemn them. When passed for
containers, the different grades of
castings are separated and are drop
ped to the casing room below where
the casing man cleans the castings
which is done by a casing cleaning
machine.
From the intestine remover hogs
pass along the rail to man who
pulls the leaf lard and weighs them.
From there it goes to the splitter
who splits the hog through the yer
tebrae from top to the bottom. The
hog is now ready for the dry room,

A TRIP THROUGH 4
MODERN PACKING HOUSE
The Above Trip was Taken in Modern
Packing House Under the Auspices Of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry, Establishment
No. 700 Grand Rapids, Wis.

Prior to the passage of the meat
inspection law Of 1906, the U. S. De
partment Of Agriculture had no legal
power to enforce sanitation at slaugh
tering and packing establishments.
By that law, however, the depart
ment was given such authority, and
it now requires that such establish
ments shall be maintained in a san
itary condition, and great improve
ment has resulted. Sanitary princi-
pies have been applied in the con
struction of new buildings, and many
old buildings have been practically
reconstructed. AS the older build
ings are gradually replaced by new
structures it viii be possible to in
corporate the best features Of mod
ern sanitary conditions, and thus OBJ
viate the difficulty of keeping build
ings clean that were erected with
out regard to that object
The greatest need for sanitary re
form is found in local establishments
operating without inspection
The first condition requisite in an
abattoir or packing house is clean
Illness throughout the establishment.
Cleanliness signifies the absence of
dirt, and dirt is defined as matter
out of place.
Sunlight in abundance should be
admitted to all rooms where meat

ception of the dry salt and pickle

The percentage of cuts are not the
same thruout the year, as the price
of hams and bacon regulate the per-
centage in which the cuts are made.
If the price of hams and bacon are
more than the price of fresh meat a
larger ham and bacon is cut or vice
versa.
All the fresh meats are delivered
to the shipping room where they are
packed for shipment.
The hams, bacon and picnic hams
are conveyed to the curing cellars,
where they are cured for use.
After the hams are cured they are
gotten ready for smoking.
The first process is the smoking
of the hams and bacon which is done
in Y degree. water and are allowed
to remain in this water three and a
half minutes for every day the ham
was in cure. The ham or bacon is
wiped dry and delivered to the. smoke
house for smoking.
To insure the best results for
smoking and the least shrinkage, the
fire in the smoke house is started
with good maple or hickory wood,
and the smoke house is thoroughly
warmed before putting in the meat
for smoking.
After the meat has been placed in
the smoke house, run the temperature
of the smoke house up to 10 de-
grees, then come down slowly to $50
degrees and hold there until the prod
ucts are smoked The average time
for smoking is from s to 10 hours.
After smoking, the product is deliv-
cred to the shipping room where it
is packed for shipment
Hams which are used for boiled
hams are only allowed to remain in
cure two and a half days per pound
as per the average weight. The hams
selected for boiling are delivered
to the boiled ham-man who takes out
the bone and removes all surplus fat
from under the skin. They are then
tied with heavy seine Irvine and are
given a light cool smoke.
They are then pressed in cylinders
which gives them their shape. They
are now allowed to boil from 5 to 6
hours in water which is held at 1872
to 165 degrees according to the size
of the ham. After cooking the cyIin-
ders are removed, then allowed to
cool, thence to the shipping room
where they are packed for shipment.
The next department in the cure
of meats is the sweet pickle cellar.
After the fresh hams, prime and ba
con, are cut on the cutting floor, they
are trimmed in the proper manner
and as fast as they are trimmed they
go to the cellars, thru chutes, from
the cutting floor to the cellars. Here
they are averaged according to weight
which are as follows: 10 to - lbs,
II to IA lbs, IA to Is lbs, Is to IS
lbs, IS to 20 lbs, 20 to % lbs, % to
26 lbs The above mentioned average
are each packed separately in large
watts which contain 1000 lbs, ami
are allowed to remain in cure three
and one-half days.
First the ham is pumped in the
joint and then in the body of the

While called land show, the expo
sition is in reality products show"
lust like the worlds fairs and large
state fairs. It is agricultural, indus
trial, horticultural and includes dis
plays from the farms, forests, mines,
lakes, rivers and factories of seven
states and Alaska. Some of the state
exhibits are said to be finer than those
viii oh states made at the Seattle or
Portland expositions because the states
have been in the ''show business"
and it takes experience to gather and
arrange good display.
Minnesota has large part in this
exposition, occupying 1900 square
feet. While the other states are re-
presented, it has been shown that
Minnesota always gets her share. The
work of the railroads to secure settlers
for the northwest results every year in
