A Test l ot of llo-ii.
To those unfamiliar with the business of
I'n bcof and pork packing it Is dtftlcult to con
voy any adequate idea of the nilnutiu of the
business. To the popular mind the name of
n packing house suggests very llttlo nsldo
from the slaughter nnd mila of animals in
tended for food. It Is generally recognized
ns being the source of grcut wealth , but at
the sumo time is regarded as not a very gen
tcel business. The fact Is entirely overlooked
that In a modern packing house the greatest '
discoveries of science are united with prac
tical experience to a degree .found In few
other lines of manufacture , and that the
whole operation Is conducted on tun most
exact principles of science and business , The
concentration of vast capital has done away
with the clumsy methods prevalent iu tbo
country slaughter houses of only a few years
ngo , where the hldo and the /ore quarters
only of a bullock were preserved nnd the bal
ance thrown into the back yard to offend tbo
nostrils of iiooplo for miles around. Improved
methods , with unlimited capital , have made
it possible to conduct the business on a scale
not dreamed of twenty years ago. The man-
ngersof the great packing houses have con
stantly striven to solve the problem of how to
convert an animal Into manufactured product
without any loss , and they have BO far suc
n ceeded that it has been facetiously said that
When on nnlinal Is slaughtered in ono of the
largo Omaha houses nothing but the breath
is lost , and that experiments wore being
nrndo for bottling and prcsorviuu' oven that
for use. It is an Interesting study to visit
one oftliobo houses nnd BOO how every pnr-
tlclo of an animal , flesh and blood , bone nnd
sinew , is converted Into some marketable
product. The scrutinizing care with which
everything Is done , the necunicy wltb which
superintendents and employes conduct oven
the most minutti detail , nnd the detecting eye
on every handler , from the buyer to the last
eollor , Is truly surprising to every one who
becomes familiar with the business. It would
bo Impossible to explain all the various moth *
ods by which the business hut been reduced
to such a perfect system , but a practical example -
ample In ono department may servo to glvo
ftomoldoo , Durlng-lSPO wo ore told that In
round numbers 1,400,000 hogs were slaugh
tered In Soulh Omaha. The product manu
factured was sold , some of It n day or two
after the animal was slaughtered , some was
held for a week or two nnd some of it oven
for several months. The question is , how
can the packers keep any close track on the
business when ills of such , extent and when
the animal Is divided up Into so many differ
ent products which are sold nt different
times. The fact Is that the pucker can tell nt
anytime exactly what hols petting , on an
overage , out of each nnlmnl killed. In the
first piaco every purchase of BtOuk Is separ
ately weighed , slaughtered ana booked so
that the Judgment of the buyer Is as much
under the eye of the superintendent as the
Helling ublllty of the salesmen or the accu
racy of the bookkeepers. The following leaf ,
copied from n pncKor's book will show tholr
method of keeping accounts. It this Instance
it wns a test lot of 180 hogs , bought Novem
ber 14 , at fcl.7t per cwt. They wcro cut up
nnd put on the market November IS. when
the price of provisions was as shown in the
table.

A rusty musket nnil tin ancient silver
wiitch were found at the bottom of the
Maritime river a few days ngo which
suggest nn interesting history , says the
Spingflold ( Muss. ) Republican. Tlio
musket wns broken nt the grip nnd othcr-
wise showed marks of damivgo. Tlio
luvmmor was down nnd there vma
no bullet inside. The watch is lO
moHt interesting relic of the two ; Is
exterior nnd interiorara finely engraved (
but only tlio Inttoi1'can bo soon , as the
action of the water has worn nwny most
of the outer engraving. It la o. hunting
Bccno showing an Indian on snowBhoos
armed with n , unifb'und u hatchet , await
ing the charges of n inooso that has
turned nt bay. The inside of the outer >
case bears this inscription : "Prosonted
to Joshua Armstrong on his twonty-flrat
birthday by his loving mother , Prudoneo :
Armstrong , April IU , 1C20. " The in-
Bcriptlou of the mnkor is na follows tis :
"John Bowles , nstrologor to his
Majesty , 108 Trondnecdlo street , Lon
don. " The discovery hna glvon rise no ;
many speculations. It is possible tlio
place was the scene of a tragedy , ns it
was a famous stamping ground of the
Indiana , nnd is near whore they buried
tholr dead nnd the squaws cultivated ;
innlzo. The dates ebow that the watch
might Imvo been on tlio spot when the
Indians hold the land , nnd the notion of
tlio water upon it indicates that it hns [
laid at the bottom of the river for innny >
generations.
