, Of better facilities for handling the busi-
ness OF this department.
Much new work has been made neces-
sary In the sheep department because OF
the rapid growth of the sheep business
OF the market. Last season the facilities
for handling sheep at South Omaha,
commodious as they were thought to be,
with capacity for 5000 head, proved
inadequate to handle the great volume
OF business which came to the market
from the western range.
The Stock Yards company, true 70 its
disposition to provide ample facilities to
care for the business It enjoys, set about
to increase the facilities of the sheep de-
partment. At a cost of 100000 the old
barns have been entirely rearranged and
two large, up-to-dete new barns have
been added, thus giving to the South
Omaha market the best sheep handling
plant in the world, with a capacity for
housing and caring for properly 100000
head of sheep at one time. This is more
than an other market dare boast.
In the hog department new pens and
sheds are being constructed. all along
modern lines. They are paved with con-
crete and have showering pipes and con-
crete troughs and sewers
A large sale ring for auction sales OF
range horses has been built OF concrete,

with ample seating room and holding
pens for horses.
In the general yard much has been
done and more contemplated. A new set
OF loading and unloading chutes was con-
structed with concrete docks and double
chute pens with concrete floors. increas-
ing unloading capacity 10 per cent. These
chutes proved to be a great improvement
over anything the company had ever tried
and, proflting by Its experience with
these, It rebuilt this year another set OF
chutes. in the same manner, increasing
their utility 100 per cent The boulevard
through the stock yards was paved last
summer and a street car line extended
through the premises. the latter proving
a great convenience to the patrons of the
market.
A new addition was built 70 the ex-

A new shipping division has been built

regarded almost hardship.
A brand-new brick and tile chute house
has supplanted the old frame shack down
alongside the tracks which has sheltered
the yardmen In an apologetlo sort OF way

The construction OF a water plant for
the stock yards Is now thoroughly under
way. which will include pumping sta

and a storage reservoir contiguous to the
yards with capacity OF 100000 gallons.
