Sinopsis

Excerpt from Through the Chicago Stock Yards: A Handy Guide to the Great Packing Industry

Chicago are brought together the corn-fat cattle of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska and the grassers of Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, and Texas. From the great ranges Of the Northwest come in summer vast herds Of sheep, either ready for slaughter or available for the purposes of the feeder, assuring an all-the-year-round supply of mutton. And every farm in the corn belt contributes its quota of the hog crop, a source of meat supply without which not only America but Europe would be in sorry plight.

The Chicago packer has been credited with using very part of the hog but its dying squeal, but this hardly describes his achievement. He has made pork, in its many manufactured forms, the most palatable and popular of meats, the evolution of the trade from the mess pork stage being a story in itself.

And in this great mart man's best friend, the horse, has no inconspicuous place, worth Of equine property changing hands every year.
