It Is literally the truth that the pack erg treat their men like dogs. There is no place in all Packingtown where the »lightest consideration is shown for a human being. They are com yelled to be 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 cf their pay most shamelessly; if enough men happen to be on hand the Losses will Btart them up before the whistles blow, and cheat them that vay. If they are working overtime find do not make a full hour, even though they fail by only five minutes, they get nothing for it.

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 another 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 Fertiliser. Everyone with a large garden has an out-of-the-way place for fertilizers where a “bone 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 these with wood ashes liquid manure from PROFITS IS CHICKESS. Crate and Machine Fattening Bring the Highest Prices. BIG BASEBALL OUTFITS CHOiceor IRE »E OR io« OTHt» 1 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 of 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 The fowls here are re ceived in large numbers, placed in coops that hold from three to five birds, according to their size, 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 as they cease to feed themselves raven ously from these troughs, what Is known as the cramming machine is brought Into service. The manipulator of the cramming machine must have experience in the handling and feed- ing of the fowls in this way.
