HERE THERMOMETERS COUNT Hundreds of Them Banged About the Walls of One Packing- Plant TEMPERATURE MEANS MONEY THERE Manager Howe of Armoir'i Tells of the Effort Made to Keep Ae eirate rterord of tho - Degree of Cold. "Temperature Is the most Importsnt thing about a parking plant," said Man ager Robert Howe of Armour's South Omaha establishment a few days ago, when the cold weather had turned the talk to ther mometers. "We hsve. It I am not mis taken, 7",0 of those things about the plant and eight men who do nothing but make temperature readings." Practically all the products of the pack ing industry are perishable and must be kept at even temperatures. In the case of some of the things which are kept In storage, eggs especially, a deviation of a degree or two In either direction may mean the ruination of the entire season's out put. To guard against such an accident there are thermometers In all ths storage rooms and men make periodical readings of these and chalk ths results on a board In the room of the engineer of the refriger ating plant and any deviation from ths re quired temperature can be rectified by in creasing or decreasing the cold of the re frigerating pipes. There Is mors than one thermometer In each storage room, for It Is requisite to know the degree Of cold at the top and floor and at each wall. The re frigerating pipes are so arranged that the temperature ran be changed at either side or end of the chamber or at the celling or floor. In the gg rooms, where the most care Is requisite, there are cold gauges at each wall and also In the center of the room. In these and In the rooms where are stored spples and other similar pro duce, the readings are made hourly, but In the curing rooms, the meat coolers and where the frozen beef Is stored, ths tem perature Is taken only once In two hours. The lowest temperature maintained Is In the refrigerating rooms, where ars kept ths frozen poultry and beef cuts. This runs 10 degrees above zero to 15 below. In ths apple rooms the temperature must go but little either way from the freezing point constant temperature Is maintained In the meat coolers snd curing rooms. The brine for pickling purposes also has Its thermometers snd must be kept at a con stant temperature to 'Insure uniform re- ultfl. In the cooking departments high register thermometers are used to. gsuge the temperature of the water. The air in the slaughtering and other departments Is also kept as uniform as possible. The Armour plant has refrigerating cham bers aggregating 900,000 square feet of floor space. These run in height from about thirteen feet down to seven feet, ths beef hanging rooms being the highest. The thermometers used are some of them spe cially made for the plant and others ars the ordinary thermometers purchaseabls in the shops. When they are received they are all tested and standardised In ths office of the chemical laboratory. Some of them have been found to vary 7 or more degrees from ths standard and were discarded. There is a constant wearing out of those in use, principally through rust. To Keep Motormen Warm. E'ectrlcally heated gloves snd shoes ars proposed for motormen.
