[Illustration: FIG. 11.--PLANT NO. 2, SECTION THROUGH COOLER BUILDING.] _Producing Department_--In this plant the slaughter of hogs is the predominant business. The hog killing department was consequently designed amply large and for a growth to upwards of fifteen hundred hogs daily, while the rendering department provides for additional tanking facilities to be added as required. In this building, near to the source of production is placed a small air blast type of meat and leaf lard cooling space. _Rendering Department_--Owing to abattoir being isolated it was possible to set aside a portion of the building for the rendering department, and make the construction comply with the sanitary requirements as to light, air and ventilation. These features are illustrated by the sectional views. _Live Stock_--The live stock receiving pens for cars and wagons are located on the ground as shown on plans, and a long ramp is arranged for the slow driving of hogs. Again, all products are passed downward in the process of manufacture. _Icing Department_--Facilities are provided for harvesting ice from a stream situated north of the premises. The railroad tracks extend to the ice storage houses where facilities are provided for icing cars. _Pork Building_--Advantage was taken of the relative grouping and the space available to provide an open air hanging or drying room for hogs at a level of the killing floor and hog chill rooms. The hogs pass through this space on their way to the cooler. The pork building is arranged with chilling rooms on the upper floor and curing rooms beneath on all floors to and including the basement. _Manufacturing Building_--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.
