Cattle Buying for
Swift & Company

Swift & Company buys more than
5000 head of cattle, on an average,
every market day.
Each one of them is 11sized up by
experts.
Both the packers buyer and the
commission salesman must judge what
amount of meat each animal will yield,
and how fine it will be, the grading of
the hide, and the quantity and quality
of the fat.
Both must know market conditions
for live stock and meat throughout the
country The buyer must know where
the different qualities, weights and
kinds of cattle can be best marketed
beef.
IF the buyer pays more than the
animal is worth, the packer loses money
on it. IF he offers less, another packer,
or a shipper or feeder, gets it away
from him.
IF the seller accepts too little. the live
stock raiser gets less than he is entitled
to. IF he holds out for more than it is
worth, he fails to make sale.
A variation of a few cents in the price
per hundred pounds is a matter of vital
importance to the packer. because it
means the difference between profit
and loss

John w. Wayne, for whom a warrant
lies In the police office. is in Jail in Rut-
land, charged with breaking into the
office of DR., S. w. Hammond, in search
of opium. Wayne is the man who is
suspected of stealing some cocaine from
the free dispe nsary some time ago. At
that time he was adjudged a peculiar
sort OF thief for he took only a part of
the cocaine which was in the bottle and
left the rest for someone else. He il
thought to have accomplished his theft
here by hiding in a closet While the dis
pensary was open and then going through
the place. The police had their suspic-
ions as to who he was at that time and
have been on he lookout for him since.
but he has evidently kept clear Of this city.
Wayne is a rover, but gives his perma-
nent home as Nashua, n II. He admits
being an addict to the drug for six years
and says that he went TO Camp Devens
as a soldier. but was discharged because
of the morphine habit. He was discov-
cred in DR.. Hammond's office by the
doctor himself, who, when he went to
open the place In the evening. found
Wayne there. The man had ransacked
everything in sight. At the Rutland
police station. when searched. he was
found to have six hypodermic needles
together with other paraphernalia used
by addicts to the drug habit. He said
that he arrived in Rutland Saturday
night. He was then suffering from want
of the drug and attracted attention be-
cause of his peculiar actions. Later he
wen to a physicians office and was
given a prescription. He took this to a
