Marsrln of Profit. "
The Industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
Healers in various parts of the world.
ZThere are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States , who
buy their live stock in competition
With the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry , no
complicated and expensive factories ,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city , and the
preparation of mealg is simple in the
extreme , local slaughtering will long
remain a factor in the production of
fresh meats and provisions.
Economic Advantage * .
The large packing houses will , how
ever , always have these advantages :
Locations at the chief live stock cen
ters , with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock ; manufacturing in large
quantities , at the minimum of ex
pense ; utilization of all waste mate
rial ; refrigeration ; mechanical appli
ances ; highly efficient business man
agement These advantages are re
flected in the quality of the packer's
output , a quality that has reached its
highest development In the products
bearing the name and brand of

Louis , St. Joseph , St Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods of purchas
ing cattle , sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago , which is the
largest market , there are about two
hundred and fifty miyers , representing
packers , local slaughterers in various
cities , and exporters. Of this number ,
less than a score are employed by
Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago , consigns them to a commis
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards ,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them , make their offers to the commis
sion dealer , who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 3 o'clock each day , and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers , he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer , and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator , but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails , from
which are suspended hooks to hang the
carcasses. Some of the houses cost as
much as a hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. As a rule they are of
pressed brick , the insides being lined
floor , walls and ceiling with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are cov
ered daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these wholesale
houses In various cities of the United
States , and the public is always wel
come to visit them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock markets ,
in the heart of the great agricultural
sections , where can be purchased the
finest grades of cattle , sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing plants , employ
ing at each from two to eight thousand
persons.
The following gives the locations
and sizes of the different plants.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
tlorc Amusing : to the Outsider than
to the Victim.
A most perplexing and absurd typo
graphical error tried to find its way ,
but unfortunately , was captured on its
way , into the columns of Harper's
Weekly. At the time of the union of
the Astor , the Tilden and the Lenox
libraries I wrote a long and hurried
paper of several columns in length con
cerning the three institutions and their
founders. The journal was to go to
press early on Saturday , and the arti
cle was not finished until very late on
Friday night The messenger boy took
it to Franklin Square the next morning
very early , and by the time of my ar
rival at the editorial rooms the long ,
wet galley proofs , unseen as yet by pro
fessional proofreaders , were ready for
inspection. Printed on different press
es and in different rooms , they came
down in an irregular way , without se
quence , without head or tail. I skipped
from paragraph to paragraph , from
subject to subject , in a most confusing
manner , the printer's devil standing
Impatiently at my elbow , the typeset
ters crying for "revise , " and all went
swimmingly along until I came to the
following remarkable sentence : "New
York perhaps has never fully realized
until this day how greatly it has been
enriched by the receipt of the vest but
tons of James Lenox ! "
Why "vest buttons ? " I had no rec
ollection of writing anything about
Mr. Lenox's vest buttons or about any
buttons of any sort belonging to Mr.
Lenox or to his library. And I could
not remember in the haste of composi
tion what I had written. But I cer
tainly had not mentioned vest buttons ,
which could In no possibility have any
connection with the subject In hand.
At last In despair "copy" was sent for ,
when it was discovered that Mr. Len
ox's "vest buttons" were "the vast be
quests" of that generous , public spir
ited gentleman !
Still I find myself quoted as picking
op many "earnest persons , " instead of
"honest pennies ; " as taking a "dog"
instead of a "day" out of my vaca
tion ; as being possessed of a coach and
four and "a gold gallows" instead of
"gold galore ; " as "aiming from the
train" instead of "arriving on the
train ; " as "arranging myself" instead
of "arraying myself" in a golf suit ; as
driving and putting "gold balls" in
stead of "golf balls ; " as making the
cook "garbage" instead of "garnish"
the dish with parsley ; as making the
dairymaid "charm the butter , " when
her business was to "churn the butter , "
and finally as speaking of a friend as
being "slightly dead" instead of "slight
ly deaf ! "
I can understand the dairymaid as
being willing and ready to "charm tiie
butter , " but again I ask , Why "vest
buttons ? " Laurence Hutton in Critic.

Sanitation and Hygiene.
The housewife makes no greater ef
fort to keep her kitchen clean than we
do to keep in sanitary and hygienic
condition our abattoirs. They are
thoroughly scrubbed at the close of
each day's operations , and automatic
appliances are used wherever possible
in order to eliminate the personal han
dling of meats. Rigid rules governing
these points are strictly enforced ; lax
ity means dismissal.

No other industry in the world gives
such a cordial welcome to visitors as
Swift & Co. We keep open house .the

have been ambassadors from foreign
governments , princes , noblemen and
distinguished citizens from all lands
and eminent folks from every State in
the Union. We wish to familiarize the
public with our methods , and the best
way to do that is to let the public see
for itself. We have no secret process

Nellie Telia How Baby Came.
Thercr | no use of your talking , for
mamma told me so ,
And if there's any one that does , my
mamma ought to know ;
For she has been to Europe , and seen
the Pope of Rome ,
Though she says that was before I came
to live with her at home.
You see , we had no baby , unless you
call me one ,
And I have grown so big you know ,
'twould have to be in fun.
When I went to see grandma , about
two weeks ago ,
And now we've 'one , a little one , that
squirms and wriggles so.
And mamma says an angel came down
from heaven above ,
And brought this baby to her , for she
and me to love ;
And its got the cunningest of feet , as
little as can be ,
And smiling eyes , and curly hair , and
hands you scarce can see.
And then it never cries a bit , like some
bad babies do ;
And papa says it looks like me I don't
think so , do you ?
E'or I'm a girl , and it's a boy , and boys
I can't endure ,
Unless they're babies like our own ,
they'll plague and tease you sure.
But you say the angel didn't come , now
you just tell me why ;
The Bible says there's angels in heaven ,
and that's the sky ;
And Christ loves little babies , and God
makes everything ,
And if the angel didn't who did our
baby bring ?
You can't tell ; no I guess you can't , but
mamma ought to know ,
For it's her baby , her's and our's , and
mamma told me so ;
And they don't make any cunning things
like him on earth , you see ;
For no wax doll , with real hair , is half
so nice as he.
I know an an el brought him , and I
think one brought me , too.
Though I don't just now remember , and
so can't tell , can you ?
But mamma knows , and this I know , the
baby wasn't home
When I wont away , and now he is ; if
you want to see him , come.
For mamma says if I am good I can
kiss him every day ,
And we'll kiss him now , and then go
out and have a nice long play ;
And if anybody asks you how babies
come and go ,
Why , tell them it's the angels , for
mamma told me so.

FALL WHEAT RAISING IN AL
BERTA.
The Spring : "WheatAreas Rapidly
Increasing ; .
It is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that a large
portion of the Canadian West was
unfitted for agriculture. To such an
extent did < his impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes , and flocks and herds
roamed , the ranges. But .the agricul
turist was doing some hard thinking ,
and gradully experiments were
made , slowly at first but surely later
on. As a result , to-day In Southerm
Alberta , which was looked upon as
the "arid belt , " large quantities of the
finest wheat in the world are now
grown , and so satisfied are the farm- |
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed In the past two years and otkera
are in course of erection , to sti fy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
. Manitoba "No. 1 Hard" spring
wheat has achieved a world-wide rep
utation , and there can be-no question
that ere long "No. 1 Hard" winter
wheat from Alberta will attain simi
lar repute. The great market for this
production will undoubtedly be the
Orient , and , with increased railway
facilities and the erection of addition
al elevators and flouring mills , a large- ,
ly increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pop
ulation in Southern Alberta In the past
year has been largely tdue to se&lerst
from the United States , who hav
brought in capital , and enterprise , and
who have been uniformly successful-
in their undertakings. A few more
such years of growth and "Turkey.

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Ncrvora Distortion of Face Cured by
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
What appears to be a slight iienrcras
attack maybe the forerunner of a severe ;
disorder. No nervous sufferer should'
neglect thewarning symptoms , but
should see that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to an oraeutthat
renders a cure a difficult matter. The
nervesreceive theirnourishment through
the blood , the same as every other part
of the body , and the best nerve tonic and
food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr. Harry Berms , of
Truthville , Washington county , JX. X. ,
substantiates this.
"I had been feeling badly for a long
time , " said Mr. Bemis , "and in the
early part of September , 1902,1 was com
pelled to quit work on account of my ill
health. My trouble was at first ex
treme nervousness , then my sight be
came affected and I consulted an oculist
who said I was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time , but I got
no benefit. I tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. My month
was drawn so I could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected so I could hardly
see. I had very little use of my limbs ,
in fact I was almost a complete wreck.
" I am all right now and am at work.
That is because I followed my wife's ad
vice and took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when it ap
peared that the doctors were tumble to
help me. They acted very surely in my
case ; my face came back into shape and
in time I was entirely well. "
