The inspection IL the establishment is
freely granted to strangers, and es-
pecially polite do the officials seem
toward Americans from Chicago, where,
as the Germans well know, is the
greatest cattle market in the world.
To begin with, the entire area is beau
tifs''7y paved with cream-colored brick.
Beneath is an elaborate system Of
drainage, the pavement being inclined
to the surface cutters in the cattle
stalls as well as outside; all dirt is
easily carried off, or is washed out with
the water with which the premises are
daily sluiced. Step into the sheep pens
the first four buildings reached
each building two hundred and seventy
five feet long and seventy-fve feet
wide, holding in all eight thousand
sheep. The buildings are solidly built
of pressed brick and paved throughout
with thing. The pens are about twenty
feet square, provided with racks.
Everything is perfectly clean. The
cattle stalls, of which there are twelve
buildings, holding four thousand cattle,
are similarly bulls, scrupulous neatness
visible everywhere. There are three
large market buildings for the sale Of
beeves, sheep and hogs. Each of these

About the method there is nothing pc
culiar, and there is certainly nothing
pleasant in the sight, as the deadly AK
crashes into the skull of these mild
eyed oxen and the splendid form drops
like lead, quivering, struggling mass.
The blood is scrupulously saved, to
go into some of the many forms OF
sausages of which the Germans are
fond. The calves and sheep are killed
by being tied down to tables and the

Especial Berlin Letter.l

. ESPECIAL bSflu LSGboIst
The cartoonist has recently repre-
sented with considerable skill the
triumphA procession of the American
hog through the cities Of Europe. Ger
many and France have opened the doors
to his swineship because America has
agreed to see that the porlzer Is duly in
spected before he enters German So
ciety. The reason that Germany es-
pecially has been afraid of American
meat, with its lumpy jaw, pleuro-pneu-
lmonia, trichinosis and other animal
diseases, may be readily understood
when we call to mind our hitherto loose
regulations concerning the housing,
transportation and care of cattle; when
we recollect the malodorous trains of
filthy cattle cars and the lack of clean
nncss in abattoirs and slaughter houses.
In the Fatherland the raising of cattle
and their treatment is in itself science.
In connection with the great UNIVERSE
ties there are schools for the teaching
Of the veterinary art. The profession
of sshorse doctor" is as honorable as
that of an ordinary physician, and no
one can become such without a scien-
tific and rigid training. The veterinary
schools in Berlin, of which there are
several, are finely appointed, housed in
splendid buildings and provided with
professors Of marked ability. German
carefully inspected both before and
after slaughtering. This system reacts
favorably on the cattle raiser, who soon
learns that exposure. underfeeding, IN
cleanliness, overdriving and general
neglect tend to render the cattle unfit
to pass the eagle eye Of the inspector.
and therefore it is money in his pocket
to see that his sheep, beeves, calves and
hogs appear in prime condition when
they reach the city stock yards or cattle
market. As consequence the meat in
the German markets while perhaps not
SO rich in some respects as American
meat is uniformly good.
A visit to the great Central Vieh-
hof," Or stock yards of Berlin, will
most clearly bring before US the Ger
man system. We must remember to
begin with that there are no private
slaughter houses in Berlin. All the
cattle, etc., for consumption in Berlin
must be slaughtered at this great CEN
trial slaughter house. No butcher is al
lowed to purchase his cattle and
slaughter them elsewhere. Here is the
cattle market, and when purchased the
cattle are transferred to the slaughter
house within the same Enclosure.

east quarter, just on the edge of the
