Head in the yards will be killed this week in edition to a number of extra choice hogs that are in the pens. The first of the week the firm bought 35 choice spring lambs from Frank W. Wallen, a farmer who believes in diversified farming and raises sheep, hogs, geese and other poultry and always has something to sell when he goes to town. The lambs were a choice lot, weighing about 90 pounds each and brought 10 cents a pound, or about $9 per head and they were late spring lambs, at that.
Every day the firm ships out thousands of pounds of fresh and cured meats which go as far south as Grangeville and as far north as Spokane. One day this week a shipment of 1000 pounds of tripe was made to Spokane, and the firm has regular customers east and west and north of Spokane, despite the fact that Armour and Carstens Brothers each have a big packing plant in that city.
Thursday about 40 head of cattle were killed and the remainder of 87 Mr. Hagen is devoting most of his time to the packing plant now and spends little time at the Cold Storage market, which, while large, is but a small portion of the firm's great business.
