Of fish as they make their way OH
over endless belts to the chopper,
The chopper is II second machine tina I
automatically cuts the fsh into pieces
Of the right size for the can, and this
in such a way that each can gets It's
own share VI the several parts OF the
, fish. 1t must have some from the back
! and some from the belly in order to
supply the streak OF lean and the streak
! Of fat. which. like bacon. is necessary
to make the can of salmon just right
| The machine puts in just siateen
| ounces, which fills the can to the top
| AS the cans move onward they pass
| through an automatic weighing ma
, chine. and If any are OF light weight
the machine drops them out.
After this the cover of the can Ia
lifted on by machinery in such way
that it will allow the steam to escape,
and the cans travel on into Il furnace
or exhaust box, where the temperature
is "l2 degrees. After this another ma
chine makes the tops tight. without
acid or solder, and the cans are moved
on into great retorts, where they are
cooked in Il heat of 3oi degrees for an
hour and a half. When they come out
they are ready to be labeled and packed
in boxes for shipment to all parts Of
the world.
This, in brief il the way salmon are
prepared for the market. The business

OF fish flows from the waters through
the machinery and on into the ships
that carry them south to Seattle and

ships and trains to the great mar

them to the canueri"s Is another great
