PACKERS ARE KILLING MORE HOGS
AND SHEEP THAN a YEAR AGO.
Live Stock Exchanges Special Inspection
Committee In st. Lous-Will Open IA
Branch House in Kansas City
In with stock.

Packers purchases for April show
that they had busy month notwith
standing the lighter supply of cattle
coming to market. The loss in this
quarter was made up by handsome
gains in the slaughter of hogs and
sheep there being 25,O79 more hogs and
20li7 more sheep killed during April
than the same month last year.
The st. Louis Live Stock Reporter of
Thursday, in speaking of the presence
of the special inspection committee of
the Kansas City Live Stock exchange in
its city, said "Messrs. a. T.. Beggs, l..
y. Lennon and c. Il. Baldwin of Kan
sas City, Were here to-day. They are IL
committee to find out how the govern
ment inspection of live stock is conduct
ed. They find that the inspection of
pregnant animals before the scales was
instituted at Kansas City thirteen
months ago; at ST. Louis two months
ago; at Omaha one month, and at Chi
caSO yesterday. They also find that the
condemned animals are disposed of in
various ways at the various markets.
II appears that Chicago got the best of
Kansas City thirteen months, Omaha
twelve months and ST. Louis only elev-
en- months, and this looks like a clean
case of discrimination against other
markets on the part of the department
of agriculture in placing Chicago in Il
position to sell stock which could not
be sold on those markets"
