Meats Class Makes One-Day Field Trip The Animal Husbandry 307 meats class took a one-day field trip to the Houston Packing Com pany February 17. Nineteen students and Dr. G. T. King, assistant professor, observed the complete packing house opera tion from the purchasing of live stock in the stockyards to the fin ished products I’eady for distribu tion to consumer outlets. The use of the most modern equipment along with that which has been used for fifty years in the meat packing industry was ob served. Seen also was the actual buying of the livestock; the methods of slaughtering cattle and hogs; the cutting of pork and the cutting and boning of beef; and the curing, smoking, slicing and packaging of bacon and ham. The processing of by-products was also observed by the class. These included the manufacturing of bone beal and the curing and shipment of hides. The National Bureau of Stand ards has said that a Wood siding of white keeps a house cooler. White paint, it reports, gives more protection against the sun than aluminun, colored paints and other surfaces.
