ut the stockyards. Sales are made openly,
despite the presence of inspectors and no bar
has thus far been interposed to stop the repul
sive traffic. The animals shocking spec
tacles, and the idea that such stuff is sold daily
as food tor thousands is horrifyng A thousand
diseased sheep are bought at the stockyards
daily by mercenary sealpers and sold to the un-
suspecting public good mutton A syndicate
is interested in the traffic A reporter paid
visit to the pens at the stOckyards yesterday,
for the purpose of investigating. No inspectors
were about. Out of forty pens, twenty eight
contained diseased sheep and average
there were twenty diseased sheep in each pen.
Scabs. foot rot, and elanders or snuf1es were the
ailments of the entire lot. The sheep. it was
definitely ascertained, were slaughtered and are
now in the local butcher-shops or at the Jackson
