MOVING FRESH MEAT
FROM THE KNOCKER
TO THE REFRIGERATOR
Continued tmm par" 1.
The "gutter. a» hla till" lm
plies, take* out the entrails. which
Immediately disappear through a
chute to a department beneath the
klllltiK floor. Then the "splitter." a
heavy »et, muacular laborer, armed
with a keen edged axe, apllta the car
caaa from tall tn neck with a few
quick strokes. and the two aides of
the carcaas slide away to a line of
washen. Tha beef la here conveyed
between two lines of men handling
hose, from which spouts continually
fresh water, and men with various
kinds of brushes, etc. Each piece is
thoroughly washed In this manner
and as a laat precaution a fresh,
cl<>in cloth Is wrapped about the up
per portion to protect It from any
particles of dust that might fall from
tha moving trolley above.
The meat has now passed to the
far end of the killing pvn and li
ready to make Its exit. At this
point standß the United Ktut»s gov
emment Inspector, wljo passes upon
every carcass before It descends to
the chilling ruom. At the least sign
of disease a carcass la condemned
and must go to the "tank." which
means that It Is no longer Intended
for foodstuff, but will be made Into
grease.
Investigating this feature further,
a number of condemned carcasses
acre seen, locked bv the Inspector
himself in a special compartment.
From this compartment, the Inspector
sees them taken to the tank and re
mains on the spot until they are put.
under thirty pounds of pressure. The
danger of diseased meat reaching the
public Is thus reduced to a minimum.
Careful and special attention was
paid to the condition of the killing
room and the appearance of the men
at work. I'pon reaching the plant
the writer learned that the slaughter
ing for the day had not yet commenc
ed and thereupon asked that he he
conducted at once to the killing room.
Thus the room was inspected both
before and after the cattle were driv
en Into It.
The first thing noticeable upon en
tering was the fact that there was no
odor, except that usually arlalng from
h brick flooring which has hut recent
ly been aeon red. There was hardly a
trace of the previous day's work to he
seen, everything having been gone
over with hot water and scrubbing
brushes. This was in the morning and
Information was to the effect that the
scrubbers were put to work as soon
as the last animal had passed out of
the hands of the butchers. The la
borers themselves were an extremely
healthy looking lot, most of them be
ing strapping foreigners, not a sickly
looking man being seen in the room.
Their clothing was as clean as could
tie possible In such work. The men In
the killing room are quite naturally
spattered from head to foot with
blood.
This slaughtering department in the
plant of Morris A- Co. Is on the top
floor and well ventilated on three
sides. The ventilation is better than
that seen In some local manufacturing
plants. The celling Is high as there
Is quite an amount of hoisting tna
chlncrv about which the gallery men
are employed. The walls nnd pillars
are painted red to a height of seven
or eight feet, whitewash being used
above. This was comparatively new
but not suspiciously fresh. Fresh
paint, however, may always he found
in some parts of the plant, owing to
the fact that In such an enormous es
tablishment three gangs of white
washers and painters are kept busy
from the beginning to the end of the
year In going over some portion of
the place. Some of the of flees were
being painted during the writer's visit,
and paint was taking the place of
whitewash In some of the girls' cloak
rooms.
After passing the United States In
speetor the huge aides of beef, still
upon the trolley upon which they are
hoisted after passing through the
hands of the breast splitter and leg
breakers, proceed on their Journey to
the chilling room below. Here they
are stowed away In a temperature of
about 20 degrees for 72 hours when
they are ready to be shipped In their
present slate or to go Into the cut
ting department. B should be re
membered that the carcass touched
the floor but at one point and In that
Instance was absolutely protected by
Its own hide It would he almost Im
possible to handle It otherwise than
on trolleys and to take It down would
result In serious Inconvenience. The
cleanliness and dispatch with which a
steer <y an Immense native beef is
sent front the knocker to the chiller
Is little less than a revelation, ami
the method described above admits of
practically no cruelly or suffering to
the animal. Only in the "Kosher"
method does there appear to he any
suffering. This method is followed ex
clusively for the Orthodox Jew trade
and all meat tißed in that line Is
slaughtered by Jews tinder the per
sonal supervision of their own re
ligious officials. By this method the
cattle are hoisted without knocking
and a long flat knife Is drawn across
the throat The animal not having
been struck senseless bleeds slowly
and lives perhaps four or five minutes
in agony. Cattle are killed In this
way only when the trade absolutely
requires It.
Cussing front the heef department It
is Interesting to Investigate into the
conditions tinder which our mutton Is
slaughtered The sheep reach the kill
ing mont in the same manner ent
ployed with the cattle, coming up
from thetr coverts! yards over long
runs. Just here the blue ribbon traitor
of the animal world may be found. He
Is "Judas,’' an appropriately named
goat, with an Impudent devilish face,
who daily leads from the yards him
dreds of Innocent mild-eyed sheep to
the keen edged kttlfe of the butcher
THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
i Without Judas to lead them the sheep
could never be coaied over the runs
to the pens In the slaughter house
and each new consignment may h*
seen following unknowingly In hla
! wake. At the door of the killing room
'Jutlas leaves them and trots back In
seeming fiendish delight for another
hunch of victims. Home day. however,
Judas' own turn will come and his
throat will be allt and his carcass turn
ed Into a tub of grease.
There Is no knocker In the sheep
killing room. This class of stock la
hoisted to a trolley alive. As fast as
they can be Jerked from their feet and
swung clear of the floor thalr throats
are cut and they pass quickly through
the hands of a long line of workmen.
They never touch the floor from the
time they walk Into the room until
they reach the chiller. As many as
.125 sheep can be slaughtered and sent
Ito the chiller In one hour. The speed
and desterlty with which these men
work Is almost Incredible. Each does
but one small part of the whole and
noon becomes so familiar with his task
'that the action of his muscles seems
to he automatic.
Here as In the beef room Ihe floor
and employes are cleaner than one
would expect to And them. After the
carcasses have passed out of the hands
of the butcher the uniforms of the
men are fairly fresh among those who
handle the meat after It has been
bled freely. They are as clean »* rea
sonable persons would require In such
work.
Although sheep are comparatively
free from disease each carcass must
pass the government Inspector before
descending from the chill room. Tu
berculosis Is never found In sheep
and consequently the packer loses less
of this stock than of cattle and hogs.
Mutton Is dressed In various ways,
but the killing and cleaning process Is
the same. Each part of the carcass
has Its use, the head disappearing to
one department, the skin to another,
the entrails to another, and so on. The
chilling room will contain any quan
tity of mutton that can be handled in
the killing room and the long rows of
fresh meat look tempting even In the
raw state so clean, cool and whole
some are these cooling compartments.
Some of the finest mutton this coun
try produces was displayed In these
rooms.
The next slaughtering department
visited was that where the hogs wgt;e
killed. This Is not a pleasant place.
Wherever there Is a hog there's a
smell and where there are 450 being
being sturk, scalded, scraped and
cleaned every hour the room where
in all this is done can hardly be a
place where one would desire to take
one's lunch. However, considering
all this the hog killing room is not
near so had as It might reasonably
be.
As the hogs come over the run
they are driven Into a passage-way,
which Is blocked at the far end by
a great wheel, about 10 feet In diam
eter, which is constantly revolving.
Working among the hogs are two
men whose duty It Is to^shackle the
animals by their hind feet and hook
them to chains attached to this
wheel. Thus the hogs are hoisted
quickly Into the air and onto the In
evitable trolley. As they pass along
they are “stuck" by two butchers,
who knife as many as 450 per hour.
Auer hanging Just long enough to
bleed properly the carcass Is drop
ped Into a tank of boiling water. The
water In this tank It may be said is
constantly changing, fresh water
coming In at one end and a waste
pipe carrying off the overflow. At one
end of this tank stands an expert
whose duty it Is to guide the floating
hogs on to a conveyor, when they
have been sufficiently scalded. Then
the porker enters a very wonderful
machine and labor saver. The con
veyor carries them to this device. th°
scraper. The hog Is here hooked be
neath the chin and drawn head first
up a cylinder. Inside of which are a
number of knives set on springs. No
matter what the size of the pig
these knives adjust themselves to fit
him and the porker Is sent out at
the top thoroughly scraped of hair,
with the exception of a few spots
that cannot he reached by the knives.
From this machine they are dropped
onto a tablelike conveyor which
runs hetween two •lines of men who
do the rest of the cleaning and scrap
lug of the outside of the carcass. At
the end of this conveyor the hog
PHsses through the hands of the
ham-stringer and proceeds on its way
on trolleys.
. he process of dressing the hogs Is
comparatively simple, consisting
chiefly of scraping, taking out the on
.trails and trimming away the fat. As
jthe entrails are taken out they pass
(down a chute to the United States In
spector. and every set of them are
handled by hint and at the least sign
lof disease the carcass passes out lo
another Inspector who determine*
the nature of the disease and Indi
cates whether the whole or only a
part of the carcass must go to the
tank. On the day of the visit in
mind a particularly large number had
been thrown out and about fifty
i splendid looking hogs were being ex
i iimined by the second Inspector for
disease. Most of these were of the
| tuberculosis character and the dis
ease was so ttnapparent to the unprae
tired eye that it set one to wonder
ing how many tuberculosis hogs are
dally eaten which never come under
the eye of a government inspector.
Added to the noisome odors of the
hog killing room is the noise As
soon as a pig Is shackled and feels
the pull of the wheel he begins to
squeal and keeps up the fight until
the razor-edged knife puts him to
sleep. Sometimes there are a half
doxen or more of them all squealing
at once and their crys are no more
pleasing to the visitor's ears than the
odor Is to his nostrils. In the kill
ing of beef and sheep It Is different.
Besides the fact that there are few
unpleasant odors the animals go to
their death without a sound. Some
times an ocraslonal steer groaps,
when the knocker's sledge descends,
hut except In the Kosher methods,
they make practically no sound. In
the last named Instance, however,
the cattle must lay and gasp and
shudder for several minutes until
death ends them. The sheep make
aoaolutely no sound. Not even a
bleat escapes them and they are soon
dispatched without a struggle.
The condition of the men In the
hog killing department was found to
be good. They were a healthy look
ing lot and worked away with the
same dexterity of the slaughtering
corps found In the beef room.
No packer claims to be perfect and
among the very f«w imperfections
found In the establishment of Nel
son. Morris tfe Co., the wet conditions
of the flooring In the hog room may
be noted. Although an immense
amount of water Is used here It
would seem that better facilities for
keeping the floor dry might, be pro
vided. This, however, Is solely In
consideration of tne comfort of the
employes as the dampness of the
floor can not possibly affect the meat.
As has been noted the carcasses of
the hogs are hurried through on trol
leys and never touch the floor. Such
a thing as dragging a carcass over
the floor In any department of Ihe
plant Is out of the question and crit
icism in that respect appears ridicu
lous.
.he number of uses that the vari
ous parts of the hog are put to and
the great economy In materially ob
tained under the present packing
methods was well brought out at the
' recent hearings before the House
! Committee on Agriculture at Wash
ington. D. C. Mr. Thomas E. Wilson
was on the stand when the following
colloquy took place:
Would you explain how the ofTal is
disposed of? You were speaking of
that a little while ago.
That Is a pretty long story, but I
will do it. As to the hogs, the offal
is removed while they are on the
rail, after they have gone through
the scalding tub and the seraper and
tne hair Is off. The guts are all
scraped, the fat removed, and they
are handled then through a process
of cleansing by hand and machinery,
through large vats of water, and are
salted and put down in barrels and
tierces. The leaf lard, which is the
most valuable product of offal of the
hog. is hung on large, square, wood
en racks, and these are run into the
chill room, and then after chilling are
put Into a hashing machine and hash
ed up and manufactured into product,
chiefly what we call neutral lard.
That Is used In the manufacture of
butterine, mostly.
The stomaens. If we are not saving .
them, are opened and dumped into a i
rendering tank, and that is so of the
lungs and the throat, and mostly a\i !
the livers. Some of the feet—if we
are not saving all of the feet for j
pickle purposes, pickled pigs’ feet —
go to the lard tank, and all the refuse |
and all other stuff, goes to the fer
tilizer tank.
Mr. I>avis. What becomes of the j
squeal of the hog?
Mr. Wilson. That we lose. On the j
rattle practically the only things that
go to the fertilizer tank are the lungs
and the throa. and a good many of
i.ie stomachs and some of the in
ferior casings. The chilled, trimmed,
and cured, and most of the tongues
are put into cans whole. The hearts
are used for sausage. The livers are
sold fresh mostly. The feet are used;
for fancy hones; that. Is, the shins {
The hoofs are used, some of them for
fancy bones and smie for fertilizer
purposes. The heads are used for
glue and gelatin. Tne horns are used
for novelty purposes mostly.
As to the nldes. of course you all
know what they are used for and how
they are handled. Those are the chief
Items of the offal, and I think that;
covers it pretty generally.
What do you do with the tails?
The tails are sold mostly fresh. I
We use some for soup purposes. A
good many of them are tanked.
How about the brains?
We save a few brains—as many
as we have demand so all of
them."
The killing of the veal is the last
process In the slaughter of fresh
meats to he considered, this not being
the season which much busi
ness takes place in poultry. The
slaughter of the calves is not an at
tractive sight, particularly front a
sentimental point of view. As they
leave the pens in the yards and start
on the fatal Journey over the runs
there Is kept up a constant chorus of
ntooing from hundreds of small
throats. Crying for their mantas they
come —red. black, white and spotted
little creatures, that remind one of a
lot of lost children as they look with
wide-eyed wonder and dismay at the
strange things about them and cry
again for the absent mother. At one
point of the run where it almost
touches that of the larger cattle a
pathetic little incident was seen; one
w hich must he common, however. In
Paeklngtown. A sleek well fed cow.
seemingly much disturbed in ntind.
stood looking through the railing of
the run. At that moment a drove of
crying calves came into sight a few
feet below her and a chorus of small
voices sent up a wail. The mother
cow. peered anxiously below and re
plied with a low soft moo. But wheth
er her baby was there only she could
tell. A moment later they had disap
peared through that great door out

The calves are slaughtered In the
same room as the sheep Their dres
sing is very simple and hundreds of
them can be sent through to the
chilling room in an hour. The same
care is exerted here as in the case
of the sheep, the same machinery is
used and the same Cleanliness ob
served. Standing among the wonder
stricken calves are two men who
HORTICULTURISTS
CULLED IN SESSION
Hon. P. J. Berckmans Announces
Next Annual Meeting and Exhibi
tion at Macon, August Sevsnth
and Eighth.
Hon. P. J- Berckmans, president of
the Georgia Btate Horticultural So
ciety, has sent out the following:
"The thirtieth annual session and
exhibition ot fruits, plants and vege
tables will he held at Macon, Ga,
Wednesday and Thursday. August
7 and 8, 1806.
"It Is earnestly desired that there
will he a full attendance and that all
the fruit growers and progressive
horticulturists and agriculturists will
attend the meeting and give their
hearty co-operation to the work of
this society.
"If you can not attend the meeting,
send in your annual dues ($2.00) to
the treasurer (1,. A. Berckmans, Au
gusta. Ga.,) at once. It behooves ev
ery member to exercise every effort
to enlist new members and thereby
enlarge the sphere of tne usefulness
of this society. The society needs
the support of every one of the mem
bers whose names appear upon the
roll.
The membership of this society Is
not restricted; any one wnn has an
Interest In agriculture, horticulture,
floriculture or kindred pursuits is ell
gible.
".je society was organized in 1876
by a few public spirited citizens, who
have faithfully labored since to pro
mote the fruit-growing industry of
Georgia and aid in the higher educa
tion of Its people. They have paid
with their purse and person, not only
freely giving their labor, but paying
for tne publication of its proceedings
which have been distributed free of
charge wherever they could serve the
alms of the society. The only reve
nue of the society Is derived from the
annual membership fee.s and, as this
is llm.-ed, the society is hampered in
Its scope. We need the co-operation
of every progressive citizen of Geor
gia.
“The past work of the society has
caused a wonderful development of
the fruit-growing Industry, which of
late has given several sections of the
state a most rapid increase In land
values, as well as an Intelligent class
of settlers from other .states. You
ran still further aid In this good
cause by coming to Macon: affiliate
with the society and enable it to show
in a practical way that the fruit and
vegetable-producing resources of
Georgia are second to none and supe
rior to those of many less favored sec
tlons of the United States. • * •”

Is deaf and dumb and is paralyzed
in portions of his body. He made
the most distressing signs to the of
ficers in the effort to show them how
the woman had beat him. The testi
mony of residents who live near was
to the effect that Savannah beats the
poor negro in a horrible manner and
his moans for mercy arouse the
neighborhood. A large piece of
lightwood was Introduced as evidence
of the cruel treatment. Savannah,
in her statement, said that she had
to chastise her brother, but the recor
der thought the chastisement was
most too severe and gave her SIOO
or ninety days.

HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING.
The rainfall for thirty minutes this
morning was 1.17 Inches, which was
ano.jer ham blow to the cotton crop
and one from which the formers
will only partially recover. It was
claimed yesterday by Aiken county
agriculturists that the information
given The Herald to the effect that
the cotton crop was off fifty per cent,
was sllgnt-y exaggerated, and while
the yield would be considerably re
, duced, yet the decrease would hardly
' equal 50 per cent.
With t-e heavy rain of this morn
ing, which covered an area of sever
al miles, what ever the estimated
decrease lackei, of being 50 per cent,
was very probably made up.
