Huron Co. Packing & Cold Storage Company Report of House of Refuge. West IW anc� h.L°oMP ny: Rlre

nate, Inspector" of the House of
The Different Branches of Business to be Carried on by the Refuge for the county of Huron, pre--
Huron Pork Packing and Cold Storage Co., Limited. Bents the following as hie reportfor the
year ending' 31st December. 1901:—
At the meeting of the directors held
in Clinton, on Monday, Jan. 20th, some
three propositions were made to the
directors from outside capitalists, the
one stated below being the one
taken up. It is confidently believed
that the stock will be rapidly taken up,
and work on the plant commenced , t
an early date.
The company have accepted W. R
Belden's plane for tire..„.erection of a
group of buildings for handling the
different lines of farm produce.
This will include a pork factory, cap-
able of handliog 1500 hogs per week,
together with a limited number of cat-
tle, a poultry finishing station equip-
ped on plans after the style of that in useKammerby a leading Kancity packing
house. No industry connected with
the farm is more profitable than the
raising of poultry, that is, where'farm-
ere have facilities for finishing them
properly. At this plant all poultry
will be received aliye, properly killed,
dressed and crated, then shipped to the
cities and Great Britain Besides handl-
ing fowl for the farmer the building
will be equipped similar to the above
referred to Packing House, where
100,000broilers are grown and marketed
annually under a system entirely new
to Ontario.
Along with the handling of hoge,
cattle and poultry a modern cold stor-
age building will be erected with a ca-
pacity for handling all the butter and
apples Huron county and the tributary
townships can produce.
Farmers nave year atter yearlost so
heavilp in apples that many have con-
cluded that it does not pay to grow'
them. Although almost everything
has been done by transport companies
that can be done, yet they cannot do
all. and this. part must be done by thefarmers if they wish to reap the bene-
fits from a system of snippingtbe Gtovt
ernment has done so much to foster.
It has been estimated that in 1900
Huron county lost in apples alone over
by not having a cold storage -
station. This station well send packers
throughout the country to its own
shareholders; they will properly grade
and pack the apples,marking each bar-
rel exactly as they call for. When the
apples are delivered. at the station
fario re will be paid a set price for each
grade, the apples sent to ons- storage
station and as the winter advances will
.be shipped wherever they can be sold
to the most advantageous prices..
Farmers need no arguments to ' con-
vince them of the benefits tbey wilfl
receive by hair -ng their apoles handled
in this manner, - It is simply what we
+lave long desired but hither to have not
leen ab e to reach any definite action.
With au outfit of buildings for saving
our produce. situated in the centre of
so fertile a district as Clinton.ie,a sugar
beet factory cannot surpass if even
equal it. Each line it will handle will
give us an increase in the price we now Wa.waoosels ta 1 0 (1 re-admi

receive. After a deputation f •ow tine
district visiting the counties where
beets are' grown they concluded it
would be much mote profitable to save
those products we already raise: than
to enter a field that is fast filling -up
and which costs uot.$100,000 hut' $600,-
000 to build a plan and equip it. .It ie
confidently believed alike increase in
price can be made in apple; butter and
poultry, as that accomplished by
ha-tdling,hogs. The estimated cost of
these buildings when fully equipped Is
$75,000 with acapacity for making an
annual tu./,p-over• of $1,000,000 worth of
farm products. -
