Here they are manipulated by girls —the bodies, tails and claws separated,— the bodies passed outside to the manure heap, and the claws and tails passed slong to another set of operators to be shelled washed and canned, Then the cans are covered, sawdered up tight. placed in boxes, are painted, labelled, packed in boxes, and made ready for market. During the sum- mer season, there are employed in the fac- tory, thirteen or fourteen men and boys, and from twenty-five to thirty women and girls.
