—Adjacent to the cooler building, space is provided for the making of sausage, cutting hogs, and trimming of sausage meat, processing of meats for smoking, packing and shipping.
Power Department
—This is a minor matter since the electric current is purchased from a municipal lighting corporation, and the plant being in a cold climate, advantage is taken of these conditions.
Note that in this plant every department except the killing department, which was made as large a unit as appeared to be necessary, may be extended without in any manner disturbing the relative situation of the departments. The uses of the several floors are shown in the sectional drawings.
Plant No. 3.
—Type of plant. The diagram ([Fig. 12]) is illustrative of a small local plant situated in a southwestern city, and built principally for a local mixed business. The plant will properly take care of one hundred hogs and fifty cattle daily, the necessary by-products and the manufacturing departments, therefor. An ice business is operated in conjunction with this plant. The buildings are chiefly two stories in height. The plan and sectional drawings are sufficiently explicit to require no description.

Plant No. 4.
—The accompanying [vignette] and [ground plan] are illustrative of an alongside deep water export plant. The photograph of front view illustrates the loading facilities which show ramps or inclines upon which conveyors are operated. These endless chains convey beef in quarter to the wharf at right angles thereto, where it is picked off the rail by ship’s tackle and lowered into the ship’s chambers.
