Manager Of Cooperative
lacking Plant at Wausau
! Tells Of Its Operations

Il Packing plants-cO- operative plants
%-operated by the farmers, was one OF
flle principal discussions at the Tri-
state Grain Growers convention
hst week.
III On the program was L. G. Hoop
man, manager of the Farmers Pack
ing plant at Wausau, Wis, but un-
fortunately MIR. Hoopman was unable
10 fill his speaking date here.
m However, in q recent issue of The
Grain Growers Guide, published in
Winnipeg, there appeared a very in
feresting article on the very plant of
which Mr.. Hoopman is manager, and
Il would be especially interesting at
This time.
z This article Is by E. A. Weir, B. s.
A., and is in part as follows:
It is frequently asserted that the
packing" business is one Of the most
Highly specialized and scientifically
managed industries Of today. And
there seems absolutely no reason to
doubt the assertion. Packers say that

be found for it which necessitated q
lot OF travelling and high proportion
al expenses. When prices decrease and
markets are not so strong, there viii
be other difficulties to be met that will
probably be greater than any run up
against so far. Added experience and
finished organization should go far to
counterbalance this, and there seems
good reason for the hope and belief
that the plant will be a success.
Some five out of eleven charges or

and this means so to 70 cents per cwt.
more to the farmer based on carload
lots and rs cents to 81 per cwt. on
wagon lots. The buyer or drover, the
commission man, yardage, feeding,
railroad terminal or switching charges
and insurance charges have all been
eliminated The company insures the
stock after 1t is in the yards. The
prices so far have been based on the
regular prices paid by the big packers
and must continue so for a long time.
1t has strengthened local competition
and brought up the local prices ma
terially at times. To believe that this
plant could start out debating prices
for big central markets would only be
resting in fools paradise.

the federal inspection regulations are

hogs not ready to kill are often fed
for time and finished up properly.
The same happens with many cat

better be deposited of on other mar
kets can be held to make UP ship
ments or for more favorable market.
In 1ve months operation $50 head of

The Supply Of Livestock.
The week before / visited this plant.
June Is, $50 wagon loads and seven
cars Of stock were received. The
supply has run UP to $50 wagons and
II cars in one week. The quality Of
the beef runs from medium to good,
or usually at least two or more
grades lower than the best on the Chi
cago or st. Paul markets, /. e., choice
and prime. This lack Of the highest
priced cuts does not interfere with the
business here. The local market in
which a large proportion of the prod
uct is marketed does not demand it,
and such high-priced meats would
have to be shipped out again, and the
margin Of profit on q small quantity
would be small. AS stated this dis
trict leans more heavily to dairying
than beef raising, which helps to &C
count for the large number Of splen-
did hogs reaching the plant They are
usually well finished and run 225 to
900 pounds.
The supply Of livestock is drawn
from go miles south and east and 100
miles north and west, including six
counties, all in Wisconsin. Twenty
two cents per cwt. is the highest
freight rate and three cents the low
est. A few cars were drawn from
to shortage at Wausau. Since that
time, however. some forty shipping
associations have been organized.
These are much the same as the
Equity associations, but are under al
most complete control of the manager
Of the packing plant. The latter has
the power Of discharging such man
ayers, and pays their expenses by
check direct from the plant after each
shipment. Only stockholders stock is
shipped except in case Of shortage.
Some Of the Products.
To describe the plant in detail
would serve little purpose in this ar
ticle. To appreciate the workings of
a packing plant one must go through
it. The Wausau plant is just as COM
plete and efficient as the larger plants
in practically every particular. The
cattle are weighed into the yards,
weighed when ready for the cooler
and weighed out of the cooler. so that
ample figures are kept on every an
imal passing through. Every bit Of
offal Is most carefully handled. There
isn't a semblance OF waste about the
plant. Beeves Ore usually killed in

Shipments of cured meats-largely
hams and bellies-are made regularly

shipment of the highest priced meat
the plant has sold was sent to Winni-
peg. Stockholders are sold meat In
100-pound lots on the same basis as
any mail order house would sell,
which is only trifie higher than the

proportion of the still uncured meat
as well as the special product like

The natural question, of course,
arises, "Is this plant paying: is it
even covering expenses?" Mr.. Hoop
man was reticent about making a
statement as to the actual amount
netted in the five. months Of operation
up to June IL, but he gave me to I'M
derstand the plant was not carried on
at loss and there was some to spare.
Others who were in good position to
know advised me that there was be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 to the good.
The managers reticence is easily ex-
planned when one considers that there
was still seven months of the year to
complete, during which time any one
Of dozen unfortunate things might
happen, so that nothing was to be
gained by announcing profits before
hand. Some packing house men assert
that for the plant to come off with a
loss of anything less than $4,000 in
the first six months would be unusual
ly good. This, Of course, has been a
year of strong demand and very ready
markets, but it has also been one of
very high operating costs, not only in
the prices of stock but from the stand

Buster Bears Short Temper.
It's such a very foolish thing,
So silly and so needless,
To lose your temper when you know
It Is wholly needless.

When Buster Bear scrambled to his
feet after tearing open the tall hollow
stump in the Green Forest and saw his
cousin. Bobby Coon, scrambling to his
feet, Buster straightway lost his temper
1t was a foolish thing to do. a dread
fully foolish thing to do. There really
wasn't the least excuse in the world for
it. And yet Buster mustn't be blamed
too much. You see he wasn't really
himself. Ordinarily Buster is one of the
best-natured people in all the Green
Forest. He doesn't begin to be as short
tempered as ever SO many others are.
In fact he isn't short-tempered at all.
But just now Buster was hungry. He
was very hungry. He was SO hungry
that he couldn't think of anything but
his stomach and how empty 1t was. You
see SO early in the spring there was
very little for him to eat, and he had to
hunt and hunt to find that little. When
he had started to tear open that tall,

THE ORIENTAL WAY.

To saw that the oriental formal din
uer consists of eight courses might lead
one to suppose that the orientals are
much heavier eaters than we. But SUCH
is not the case The fact is that each
dish is served as a separate course in

the service is thus made much more

overhearty.
Our own system of courses comes to US
direct from the French with very few
notifications or adaptations. The chief
idea in the arrangements as 1t is there
worked out is to serve the dishes in the
order in which they will be more tempt
ing. Thus the French cook begins the
luncheon with an hors doeuvre, ana
dinner with oysters or some other tempt
ing Wand. This is to begin, not by salts
flying, but by increasing the appetite
Then comes the soup-fairiy simple IN
flavor. tasteful. and satisfying enough
partly to satisfy the first hunger More
substantial courses follow-hsh, roasts
and other hearty courses. When the ap-
petite is thus satisfied the COOK KNOWS
that she must make the courses dainty.
The salad is light and fresh enough to
appeal even to the satisfied palate.
Finally the sweet course at the END gives
the right sort of finishing touch. 1t has
all been worked out with especial regard
to the characteristics of various sorts OF
viands and with reference to gustatory

Here are the eight courses They may
prove suggestive to the hostess who Is

First there is a relish-anchovies. black

which the French cook begins luncheon.

icately favored rice soup is a favorite
for long and formal dinner.
The third course is a fish course. which
| is also cooked in fairly simple manner.
The oriental realizes that spiced dishes
are not needed when the appetite is still
keen.
The fourth course is not heavy. though
| 1t usually consists partly of meat. Very
! often it is some sort of stuffed vegetable,
such as stuffed tomatoes. Sometimes 1t
| consists of griled meat on skewers, but
never is the portion large.
The fifth course is the heaviest 1t con-
| sists of some sort of roast or fowl, accom-
panied only with little salad-never
