BRAZIL LOOKING TO FUTURE
Important Industries of the Country
Are to Be Encouraged by tho
Government.
TliK secretary (if nnrlculturc of a
!'. recently presented a lengthy me
morif t to the president of the republic
e::;l:;m!n;,' the necessity of eiieourng
lntf th'i ci :;1 nml steel Industries, which
lms resulted In the publication of two
decrees of the federal government.
The secretary's report states that
until there are at least ten coal mines
In active operation in the country the
effect of this Industry will not be felt
in the conservation of the wood sup
ply, which is now beinfr, rapidly con
sumed to meet the needs of the rail
ways and of domestic Industries. The
steel Industry is so largely dependent
upon suitable fuel that, In the secre
tary's opinion, it should also receive
the uttention of the Brazilian govern
ment. The director of the geological
survey of the Brazilian government
states that by a process of washing
metallurgical coke may be obtained
from Brazilian coal, and that this is
already being accomplished in the
state of Santa Catlmrlna.
The secretary points out that the
present lack of sufficient domestic coal
of suitable quality should not interfere
with the establishment of a steel in
dustry, which could temporarily use
wood, and that for more than 300 years
Sweden was obliged to depend upon
this kind of fuel. lie also says that in
the United States some 400,000 tons of
pig Iron are produced annually by the
use of charcoal as a fuel. Commerce

how he will get his regular rations;
for no sooner does tho enemy find
himself dispossessed of his original

solved the problem of carrying food to

Jinny years ago, when Connie Mac,
was the Mllwuukce oitch-r and man

several soreann veteran pitchers.
There was one youngster with tho club
who did not complain of this trouble,
so they sent I1I111 to the slab. Milwau

The kid pitcher wus downcast. "Tht

on a Rapid Schedule
Fresh beef for domestic mar
kets goes from stockyards to
retail stores within a period of
about two weeks. Although
chilled, this meat is not frozen;
hence it cannot be stored for a
rise in price.
A steer is dressed usually
within twenty-four hours after
purchase by the packer. Ti:3
beef is held in a cooler at the
packing house, at a temperature
a littile above freezing, for about
three days.
It is then loaded into a refrig
erator car where a similar tern
perature is maintained, and is
in transit to market on an aver
age of about six days.
Upon arrival at the branch
distributing house, it is unloaded
into a "cooler", and placed on
sale.
Swift & Company requires all
beef to be sold during the week
of arrival, and the average of
sales is within five days.
Any delay along the above
journey means deterioration in
the meat and loss to the packer.
Swift & Company, U.S. A.
