Yankee Beef in Germany.

The special agent OF the Agricultural n)e-

Secretary Morton. lie shows very conclusive

For every shipment the copsignees were
furnished in advance with a certificate from
the German Consul In this country that all
the meat shipped had been officially inspect

every quarter was found to be provided with
the official tag, showing inspection by Amer
icar veterinarians.
Notwithstanding these precautions, on the
arriral OF the steamers bearing these .cargoes,
they were boarded by the Hamburg veter-
inarians and their assistants. the wrapper
removed from every quarter and every piece
thoroughly inspected. Every piece was
found good and OF flrst-class quality. A
considerable quantity OF this meat had been
purchased by parties In Berlin and Dussel-

goods, the meat sold TO these parties had 90
