said Arthur Peters, the cattle
u man a year or two ago a
friend OF mine who had grown up in
the stockyards district Of Kansas City,
conceived the idea that a lot OF money
was being permitted 70 go to waste
by the packing house men in spite OF
the generally accepted opinion that
nothing was lost by the squeal OF the
slaughtered pigs. From time imme-
mortal. or since the first packing house
was built and operated IN Kansas City,
the contents Of the paunches OF ami
mails killed had been permitted TO be
sent through drains into the Missouri
river and on to the sea This man
knew that in the paunches was much
undigested corn and other grains. he
was given permission by the city coUn-
ell TO place seins at the mouths of ali
drains leading into the river from all
packing houses in which TO catch the
paunch content To say nothing re-
garding other valuable matter thus res
cued from absolute waste. my friend
has found so much undigested corn
that he has amasSec fortune from
that source alone within three years.

something more than the squeal to get
away from them"
