bones are cut up for knife handles and
other such things, and the offal goes
into fertilizers, which are largely eX-
ported.
a great deal of canned meat is made,
and also canned soups and tongues.
Girls Work in Meat Plants.
There are now employing $500 hands
in the La Plata factory, and of these
500 are Argentina maidens. The girls
I'm from the country about. The girls
are nice looking. They are young and
fresh, and in their uniforms of caps
and aprons furnished by the company,
they seem quite attractive The most
Of them work by the piece, and make
from so cents TO $50 for a day Of
eight hours. With the single exception
of the butchers, the most of the men
are Italians and SpaniaTds.
The butchers are native ArSentines.
They come of the class Known as the
gauchOs or cowboys, and they have
been using the knife almost from the
time they were born. All of the kill
ing is done by them. The common
WOrlImen receive about $3.50 a day, and
skilled labor is higher than in the
United States.
May Not Reduce Price.
The American packers tell me that it
is doubtful whether the meat sent out
by the Argentine viii materially reduce
the price OF meat in our markets. Since
the demand from the United States has
arisen the prices Of cattle have doubled,
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-01-23

J and now there is an additional rise on
account of the war The farmers have
never got so much for their steers
When Europe was the only market
there was a combination among the
European owners Of these packing es-
Establishments that kept down the prices
Of stock and until recently England
has had the cheapest meat Of any place
in the world. Even last spring. when
beef was so high in the States, some
of that sent to England from other
countries was shipped across to New
York and sold there.
The present high prices are increas-
ing the number of stock on the farms,
but this is necessarily slow, and it viii
be a long time before the country
reaches the limit of its grazing and
killing capacity.
There are now only 10000, 600 cattle
in Argentina, but if all the lands were
used and the farming was as intensive
as in some parts of Europe, there
might be ten times as many, making a
product Of something like 3O0,00O,0OO
cattle per year.
In addition. there are vast undevel-
oped lands in Paraguay and Bolivia,
and Uruguay and Brazil can add mil
lions Of beeves to the future meat
supply Of the orld.
Leads Natious in Meat Shipments.
As it is the exports of frozen and
chilled beef OF Argentina have been
steadily increasing, until they now
surpass those of any other country on
earth.

had every evidence of having been
carefully handled.
The cattle have to pass through a
swimming box on their way to the
killing room As they wade through
the water they receive a shower bath.
They next so into sthe rooms where
they are knocked on the head at the
rate Of two cattle per minute, and then
pass through the processes Of cleaning
and cutting up in just the same way
IS in our great establishments at Chi
cago, Omaha and Kansas City. All
this is done under careful government
inspection.
The veterinarics examine the stock
before they go to the killing rooms,
and every animal is again tested as
soon as it is killed to see that it has
no disease Then a piece of the meat
Is cut off and labeled and, sent to the
laboratory to be further examined.
Every quarter of beef has to bear
the government stamp showing that it
is fit for human consumption. and the
sanitary arrangements are fully equal
to those Of the United States.
IN the Freezing Chambers
After killing and dressing. the
beeves go into cooling chambers,
where the temperature is about 80 de-
srees Fahrenheit They are hung up
in halves each half weighing 400 or
500 pounds. These cold rooms are
lighted from above by electric lights,
and as stood in them / could look
down the long lines Of pink and white
beef. The walls are white, and the
floors are covered with sawdust, and
the combination of white and red flesh
is beautiful under the light

and 25 days later it will land 100000
pounds Of prime beef on the wharves
OF New York. It will carry enough

and child in that city, and leave an
equal allowance for every citizen Of
Philadelphia 1t will have enough to
supply a dozen cities of 100000 each
with all the meat they could eat i'm
one day. And that is the cargo Of
only one steamer.
The beef is shipped in quarters. clad
in white cotton dresses. The quarters
flow, by means of pulley running on
an overhead trolley. from the factory
right into the hold OF the steamer. The
mutton is loaded in much the same
way.
While 7 was at these factories the
trains We're coming in with fresh sup
plies of livestock.
The Argentine, cattle cars are better
than ours. They are wider, and the
doors are at the ends instead Of in the
sides as with us. The cattle so into
the cars as men do into our passenger
cars; and there are platforms between
the cars which can be raised and low
cred. 1t is So that when the doors are
open you can stand at one end of an
empty train and look through it clear
to the other. This enables the cattle
to be driven through the train in sin
gle file without crowding.
The cars are opened one at q time.

almost as much. The extract Of beef
brings in more than a million dollars,
and condensed soup is now sold to the
extent of nearly 100000 per annum-
This chilled meat product OF last year
amounted TO S56,00000O in gold. and
since 1885 the meats sent abroad have
brought in almost $500, 900. 600.
Not In Trust.
At present fully oue-h half Of the meat
exporting is backed by American capt.
tai, although the companies are doing
their business as argentine organiza-
tons. They work independently Of one
another, and so far there is no conf
bInaLlOn or American trust. I am told
that the English and other companies
are very jealous OF the Americans, and
that they accuse them of taking the
profits out Of the business by raising
the prices Of cattle AS it is now the
best cattle so to the American fac
tories.
The Argentine yearbooI gives the
latest figures as to the various meat
companies There are altogether IL i'm
the republic, including one in New
Patagonia which is shipping $50, 600
frozen sheen every year; another az
Bahai Blanca the great port Of the
south, and several meat-preserFinE IN
situations scattered over the country.
The latter are owned by a. British syn
dictate, which has q canitaI of $4,000
Opu It's chief business being in pre-
served meats and meat extract.
As to the friGerificOs or meat freez-
ing establishments, the Oldest is the
Sausinena, founded about IS years ago
with capital OF $4,000 in gold. and
half as much in bonded Indebtedness
This cOmTau has been paying dividends
Of 10 percent and upward on its COM
mon stock. And then there is the estab-
Ishment of James Nelson & Son. which
was registered in 1892 This is the
Las Palmas FrigeriifeO, situated on the
Parana river. 1t has q capacity Of
500 cattle and 5000 sheep per day.
The FrigerificO Argentine is an
Italian organization with a capital Of
$4,000 600 and dividends Of 5 percent
Tt is situated in BuenOs Aires. on the
RiachuelO river, and not far from the
La Blanca Cold Storage company.
The la Blanca-s capital is $500, 600,
and that of the La. Plata is s7,500,00
but the la Blanca or Armour organi1a.-
tiOn viii be materially increased by its
sister plant at La Plata which is now
building. Both OF these companies do
an enormous business
The net profits Of the La Plata in
1911 were over S659,000. and Il is pay
ing something like II percent dividends
on its common stock. In addition there
are other companies engaged in the
manufacture Of meat extracts and pre-
served meats, one of which dates back
to 1855.
Altogether the meat business Is only
in its beginning. and. with the increase
in the numberNof ecattle and the extent
of the pastures in the undeveloped
lands Of the north and west, it viii
some day be many times what it is
now.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-01-23

For a long time, the Argentine was
behind the United States in its exports
OF such products. I have before me the
figures for the decade ending 1912
During that time Argentina exported
almost 5000 tons, or about 4,OO0.
900 900 pounds, of frozen and chilled
beef; whereas the United States ex-
ported altogether only a little over
100000 pounds, and Australia and New
Zealand combined just about half as
much as we did In 1903 our exports
in round numbers We're 115,000 tons,
and those of Argentina only So 600
In 1905 Argentina had over $50, 900
tons and we had fallen to a little more
than 1OO,0 900. From then on the United
States steadily decreased, until 1912
when its foreign shipments amounted
to only 1000 tons. During that year
Argentina exported S43, 900 TONS snd
ROW we. export practically nothing
while the exports of the Argentine con-
tinue to grow.
The beef exports from here last year
