â€" . . unsung-a“. .~ BY-PRODUCTS OF BEEF. Modern Packers Utilize Every Part of a Slaughtered Steerâ€"Why Prices Should Be Higher. When the slaughtering business first ibecame established on a large scale "there grew up in the vicinity of the jpacking plants independent establishâ€" ments, the function of which was to handle the byâ€"products collected from “the packing houses. Glue works, ter- tilizer works, soap factories, oil and tallow works, and the like were in a. large measure separate from the slaugh- tering concerns. As the packing busi- ‘ness became more concentrated In the hands of a few large companies, these ,ggraduallyâ€"but almost completelyâ€"took over the allied industries, effecting var- ious important economies in such uni- fication. At present the leading pack- ers themselves carry the elaboration «of almost every possible by-product to an advanced stage. For example. Armour & Co. now manufacture sand- paper, thus utilizing glue which they make. The most valuable by-product deriv- -ed from cattle is the hides, which are worth on the average about $6 per 'head. A great number of classes and grades of hides are distinguished. 'which differ considerably in value. The .hides are salted and kept by the pack- eers from two ‘to six months, according to the state of the market. During 'this period the hides shrink in weight, ‘the shrinkage averaging, roughly, one- sixth of the “green” weight. Next in importance are the fats ob- 'tained from the abdominal region, and from other parts of the animal which -do not constitute beef. At present the Tbetter fats, especially those which may readily be detached by cutting or pull- r‘lng, are so largely destined for use as ..-a constituent of butterine that they are known as butter fats. An average ’beef animal will produce from sixty to seventyâ€"five pounds of such fat. By heating, oleo stock is first derived from 'the'se_fats. This is nearly the same "in constitution as ordinary prime tal- low, and if the market for oleo pro- «ducts is much depressed tallow may be produced for sale instead of oleo stock. Otherwise the stock is subjected to powerful pressure, which separates the oloe oil from the stearin, both of which are standard marketable products. :Some of the packers, however. use part .of their oleo oil and stearin in manu- 'fac'turing butterine, lard compounds :and cooking oils. A moderate quantity of tallow and grease, of several grades, is secured by cooking the heads, feet and other of- -fal, but the quantity and value of fats [of this character are much less than 'ithose of butter fats. The third byâ€"product of a beef ani- mal, in order of importance, is the -tongue, which is either sold fresh or *more often is cured or canned. The 'leading packers ordinarily designate all parts 'of cattle, except the dressed " ":beef, hides, butter fat and tongue ‘by the term “offal.” Among the ‘various articles constituting "offal" -the liver, heart, sweetbreads and tails may be marketed without other treat- ment than trimming. ’.,_ The other forms of offal require a. 'much more extensive preparation in or- der to become satisfactorily market- " able. From the heads are cut the check meats and other small bits of meat, and sometimes the lips, these meats being usually sent to 'the sausage department. One or two of the pack- ers use part of the horns and leg bones of the cattle slaughtered in the manu- facture of various novelties. Other- _-wise these materials are sold 'to out- .side concerns for that purpose. The remainder of the feet, however, with the trimmed heads and various other ~minor parts and trimmings, are sub- jected to processes of treatment, by yineans of which 'tallow, glue, neatsfoo‘t -oil and other minor products are ex- tracted. The residue after such treat- ment is used forfertilizers. The blood of cattle and various soft parts not fontaining other valuable material are 31150 converted into fertilizers. The flcading packers manufacture a great variety of commercial fertilizers. in» .clrcling those in which phosphates and other mineral substances are combined with the animal products. The only remaining lay-products of ‘ any importance are those derived from the intestines, which are carefully cleaned and converted into casings for sausages and» other similar products. The weasand. or gullet, and the bladâ€" der are also cleaned and made into containers for various commodities, some weasands, for instance, being used for packing snuff. Hen Catching Made Easy. It is sometimes very convenient to be Wlo to catch a hen without chasing a 1d running her down. People who are frequently cal ed upon to engage in the pleasant pastime of driving out the neighbor‘s or their own poultry from the delights of the grim n growing gar- den havc'oftcn noticed how at least (mo determined bird will linger behind and defy all efforts to eject her. For HEN HOLDERS. this and any occasion when quick and .easy capture is desirable the devices 1here picturt‘d are worth consideration. The upper one is like a small sized shr-pherd's crook, a wooden handle «vi-:11 a. bent wire attached.’ This wire «can by reached out to catch the hen by fine leg and hold her. The other is a. good size-d iisherman's hand net with .a L021 y handle. Humor ma Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH" PERT PARAGRAPHS. The blessings of poverty are only‘ discoverable after a man has put it far behind him. Jealousy is a con- fession of weak- ness. Beauty is said to be only skin deep, but with the drug store blond it isn’t even that deep. A woman often has a queer way of showing her love before marriage and a man just as queer a way of showing his after that event. Speech is silver and silence is golden. Singing is frequently just brass. It annoys a bachelor to become bald- heuded, for then he cannot charge it to his wife. When a woman says “No” she either means no or yes, and it is a. wise man who knows which. When a rich girl does not marry, did you ever notice how everybody thinks It is from choice? we V'sâ€"n...» «no’ It is an inexperienced man who will start to make garden without the writ‘ ten consent of his neighbors’ hens. Any man who can be a hero in the eyes of his sons should be satisfied. .â€" Some men really think that wives clean house simply to exasperate their husbands. The Annual Event. Oh, man, would you have married her- Now, really, on the squareâ€" Could you have seen her as she stands With wild, disheveled hair, A towel wrapped about her head And music in the air? A microbe gets into her blood, And then all bets are off, For when it comes house cleaning time, - Though simple man may scoff, She bangs the carpets on the line And with the rugs plays golf. She rises in the twilight gray, Two hours before the dawn, And dumps a ton of household goods Or so upon the lawn ’ That man may pack them In at night And exercise his brawn. The meals, if meals they may be called. Are cold and cheerless bites, And she can hardly pause to eat While dirt and germs she fights And musses up a lot of things, That must be set to rights. Oh, woman, lovely. did we say? Ah, well, at times you are, But when house cleaning holds the boards Your beauty's not at par: 'Tis then you give confiding man .A most decided Jar.
