Inhuman Treatment of Men and
Women Who Are Forced to Work
In Great tstablishments.-In Low
est Depths of Misery.
By Upton Sinclaib.
(Now York World .)
It is literally the truth that the pack
ers treat their men like dogs. There
is no place in all Packlngtown where
the slightest consideration is shown
for a human being. They are com
pelled to he on hand at a certain hour
in the morning, even though there is
no killing to be done; they are laid off
without the slightest ceremony, and
they have no Idea when the work will
start up again. They are cheated out
of their pay most shamelessly; if
enough men happen to be on hand the
bosses will start them up before the
whistles blow, and cheat them that
way. If they are working overtime
and do not make a full hour, even
though they fall by only five minutes,
they get nothing for it. If anv error
is made in the computation of their
work they have no redress; there is
always one answer to every complaint:
"If you do not like It you can go else
where.". , ONE VAST TRUST.
The conditions in Packlngtown have
reacnen tneir present state of degrad
ation by the natural process of corn
petition, or rather, there is competi
tion of labor whllo there is no competi
tion of capital.. There is but one
vast employing trust and a body of
absolutely unorganized and' helpless
types of human beings ore coming
there. Thore has been a regular pro
cession of the races through Packing
town; the Industry was founded by
skilled cattle butchers from Germany;
then they began the Importing of Irish
men. Afler the strike of 1S!)4 they set
to work deliberately to crowd the labor
market so as to prevent further trou
bles; flint (bey brought Poles, then
lloliemliins, then Lithuanians, and now
finally Slovaks. Theso are nearly all
undersized, wretched people who' can
not .speak English, and who impress
one as having no more . Intelligence
than a dumb animal! The bosses beat
them and kick them and spit in their
faces. I saw sights of this sort which
fairly made my blood boll. I saw a
poor, wretched Lithuanian pushing a
truck in one of Rwlft & Co.'s cellars;
it was loaded with hams, and the poor
fallow was scarcely able to stir it on
the level floor. He came to a slight
Incline and could not get It up, and the
boss fell upon him and pounded him
out of the place. I presume that he
wns "firing" him. Another and
stronger man took his place.
COMPKLLICI) TO VISIT SAlTOONS.
One of tho things polnled out in the
President's report Is that tho men are
provided with no places to eat. It is
cllfllcult to imagine what this moans in
the wlnlor tlmo. I saw them crouching
In I ho stairways of the packing
houses and outside under tho sheds to
pet a way from the falling snow. In
conversation with one of the packers
I spoke of the horribly low wages that
were paid to the men, and ho answered
1 lint I here was no use in paying any
more, because the balance went to the
wooden floor and slide part way into
a filthy men's toilet. It was picked up
by two employes, placed upon a truck,
carried into the cooling room and hung
up with other carcasses, no effort being
made to clean it.
"In anothor establishment, equally
well known, a long table was noted
covered with several hundred pounds
of cooked scraps of beef and other
meats. Some of these meat scraps were
dry, leathery, and unfit to be eaten;
and in the heap were found pieces of
pig-skin, and even some - bits of rope
strands and other rubbish. Inquiry
evoked the frank admission from the
man in charge that this was to be
ground up and used in making 'potted
ham. "
Home-made Bone Fertilizer.
Everyone with a large garden has an
out-of-the-way place for fertilizers
where a "lione barrel" could be placed.
To reduce bones to fertilizer without
the use of acids takes time, but for
the home garden it is well worth 'wait
ing for, Put in a barrel three or four
inches of soil, then a closely packed
layer of bones, broken up somewhat,
and cover those with wood ashes and
wet with liquid manure from the
PROFITS IN CHICKENS.
Crate and Machine Fattening Bring
the Highest Prices.
T. F. McGrew.
Some time since we published an
article on poultry growing North and
West, and referred to the large num
ber of fowls that are grown upon the
wheat fields o the Northwest and
which are purchased and shipped In to
the big packing establishments of
Kansas City and other western centres.
The packers of the west have estab
lished enormous finishing plants, as
they are called, for the feeding, fat
tening and preparing of poultry of all
kinds for market. Thefowlshereare re
ceived in large numbers, placed in
coops that hold from three to five
birds, according to their ize, and are
"trough-fed" that is, they are fed a
mixture of ground meals properly pre
pared in troughs, and permitted to
eat as much as they will consume,
from three to five times per day.
Poultry crate-fattened in this way
will continue to eat well and thrive
from nine to twelve days. So soon aa
they cease to feed themselves raven
ously from these troughs, what i9
known as the cramming machine i3
brought into service. The manipulator
of the cramming machine must have
experience in the handling and feed
ing of the fowls in this way. The

forced through the tube Into the crop
of tho fowl.
TUB CRAMMER IS AN EXPERT.
The operator In charge of the cram
ming machine has several assistants
who bring the fowls from the coop to
him; he placing the tube down tne
throat beyond the windpipe towards
the crop, (ills the same by a pressure
of the foot, always gauging the amount
forced Into the crop by the hand
pressure upon it.
Tills manner of feeding is carried on
for a sulllclent number of days to
make the entire period of feeding from
1!J to 21 days. An experienced handler
knows just the time when the fowls
are finished ready for killing. When
this time nrrives, they are speedily
killed, dry-picked, and placed in proper
condition for market.
The food made use of for this pur
pose Is a mixture of meals of several
kinds, to conform to the requirements
of the market, ('.round oats, corn
and middlings, mixed with boiled
milk or water Into a very dry mash
or mixed food Is made use of for the
first V2 to 11 days for trough feeding.
During this period, tho fowls have
grit and plenty of water to drink
whore they can help themselves. So
soon as they show a disposition to
stop feeding themselves, all the food,
water and grit Is removed from the
trough, and the stuffing machine Is
brought Into service. The same meals
mixed into a gruel are used for this
purpose, tho food forced Into the crop
Country Autoing on the Glorious Fourth.
Of
with the stuffing machine in a semi
fluid condition, and no water or grit
whatever is given to the fowls during
this period, the semi-liquid food fur
nishing sufficient moisture for the
greatest Improvement.
GREAT GAIN IN WEIGHT AND
QUALITY.
Fowls that are fed in this way gain
largely in weight For instance, a
fowl placed in the eoop weighing three
pounds nnd a quarter, bones, feathers
and offal, would weigh from one and
a half to two pounds more when fin'
Ished, adding In this way two pounds
of edible meat to the carcass, and so
Improving the entire carcass as to add
from three to four cents per pound to
its value over that of poultry of that
kind not so well finished. Thus, a fowl
weighing three pounds and a quarter,
worth 9 cents per pound, would sell for
thirty cents as it came from the
range. The same fowl, after being fed
three weeks, would weigh hve and a
quarter pounds and sell for twelve
cents a pound at the lowest calculii'
tion, which would be 03 cents for the
same carcass, after having been fed
for three weeks. The estimate placed
upon the cost of feeding Is about ten
to twelve cents per head.
What Is known as the yellow-
skinned or yellow-meated poultry is
prime favorite in the markets of this
country. To intensify and beautify
the richness of these colors, meal made
from yellow corn is largely used in
the process of fattening. For the
English market, which is largely
catered to by these packers, fowls
having the white color of flesh are pre
ferred. To intensify and improve this,
ground oats, meal from white corn,
and some finely ground rice is made
use of. To add luster, finish and
quality to all these, a small per cent
of melted tallow Is mixed into the
warm mash, and fed in a semi-liquid
state the last four or five days of feed
ing. The fattening of poultry with corn
adds fatty globules throughout the
entire carcass. A fowl that has been
fattened with corn Is usually what
might be termed greasy meat, whi'e
poultry tinislied or fattened In tills
way lays on close or solid meat with
no globules of fat scattered through it
Crate and machine fattened poultry
sells for the highest prices of any
poultry sent to market.
A peculiarity in these conditions is
the faet that poor or inferior speci
mens cannot be successfully fattened
or finished in this way. Only the well
grown thrifty specimens can be profit
ably crate-fattened and Improved in
weight and character of flesh. One
must understand thoroughly well the
process of handling poultry for this
purpose, or he cannot succeed. Where
it is well done and nicely finished and
prepared for market, poultry finished
in this manner is the most desirable,
both In this country and abroad.
TACKING FOR MARKET.
In packing for market, square boxes
that will hold 12, 24 and 48 chickens
are made use of. Fowls all of one
size nnd weight with the same ap
pearance are packed In ono box. This
plan Is of great advantage in selling.
Farmers and country people generally
lose a large amount of profit through
the carelessness In dressing nnd send
ing their fowls to market. When nice
ly graded and selected, all of one kind
in a package, both eggs and poultry
bring the highest prices. It is the
finest quality that makes the profit In
poultry growing. This is what the
large packing houses, which handle
lundreds of thousands of fowls in this
way, aim to make of all they fatten.
Cultivation of Garden Crops.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be employed for most garden crops,
and during dry weather the depth
should not exceed 2 inches. By keep
ing the surface soil well stirred what
Is termed a "dust, mulch" is formed,
and while this layer of finely pulver
ized soil will become quite dry, it pre
vents the escape of moisture through
the pores of the soil. A mulch" con
sisting of tine manure, clippings from
the lawn, or auy similar material,
spread to a distauce of 10 or 12 inches
around the plants will preserve the
moisture; but the mulch should not be
so heavy or matted as to exclude the
air.
A crust forming over the soil after
a rain or watering is detrimental to
plant growth and should be broken up
as soon as the land can be worked.
To determine when the soil is suf
ficiently dry for cultivation, apply the
same test of squeezine tosether ill the
hand as is utilized in determining when
to plow. Sandy soils can be worked
much sooner than clay soils after a
rain. Too much importance cannot
be placed upon the matter of thorough
cultivation or the garden, and if the
work is promptly and properlv done
there will be little difficulty in con
trolling weeds.
