STOCK RA|SERS AND
PACKERS EQUALLY GUILTY
Both Oppose the Bill For Rigid
Governmental inspection.
DISEASED CATTLE SLAUGHTERED
Figures Showing That 200, 900 Live
Animals Were Rejected at Chi
caso Last Year---Beef Trust
Combined Against the People.

Washington, D. Cit is not alone
the meat packers but the stock raisers
who are in the business Of fooling the
public, and certain members OF Con-
gress are getting ready to prove, not
by magazine writers, but by the official
records, that these stock raisers ought
not to receive sympathy. Coupled with
the exposure of the stock raisers is to
come an attack on the Gamers of fruits
and vegetables. Just now the Presi-
dent is interested in the figures prov
ins how diseased live stock is sent to
the slaughter houses. In Chicago there
are only twenty-three establishments
under the inspection of Federal OIL
cials. The others have city Inspection.
In the country at large fifty cities
have in all 152 establishments where
meats are inspected.
The figures from these in the Bureau
of Animal Industry for the last year
show that 165, 164 animals We're con-
demned by Federal and city inspectors,
all having come with disease from the
stock farms.
This proves that the inspection was
tsas lax as alleged in recent stories,
but it shows the stock raisers to be
ignorant or criminal. Of the live stock
condemned for disease the figures give
126,262 hogs, 1879 cattle, 97O1 sheep
and 9322 calves. Of these the city III
spectors discovered in fifty cities 1889
hogs, 42S9 calves, S9S cattle and All
sheep. Tuberculosis was the chief dis
ease. In fact two-thirds of all condemned
were found with this malady. The
records show that 1918 animals were
found suffering with assesses or
pyema; 1705 with enteritis, peritonitis
or mitris; 1854 with septicemia, and
1883 with hog cholera.
1t is hardly necessary to say the
shippers could not have been ignorant
of these conditions. Their anxiety now
to rush to the support Of the Chicago
packers indicates that they fear not
loss of trade. but more rigid inspec-
ton. An official of the Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry says that the inspection
of live stock now is meagre and that.
with a proper force, twice as many
cattle, hogs and sheep would be con-
demned. The stock raisers have been
warned several times, but have felt
that, with the Beef Trust to aid them,
they could defy the department ex-
cept in notorious cases.
1t is certain that they get animals
through without inspection. Then they
evade the law by insisting that live
stock travelling interstate is not sub.
iect to Federal inspection. Some of
this stock is killed outside cities, and
there is no inspection of any sort. Few
of the cities have one-third the force
necessary. and so, with the assistance
of the Beef Trust, the stock raisers
get rid of diseased cattle. The figures
for last year. incomplete as they are,
show part Of the truth.

Haisinp Pine Trees For Profit.

\ large tract of land, known as the

worthless. is being utilized for this
purpose. Under the direction of Austin
Carey, now professor of forestry at

EXTERN|NAT|NG THE SHAD
Roe So Popular That This Fish
Seems Doomed.
Government Expert Declares They
Are Rapidly Disappearing Under
Rapacity of Fishermen.

Washington, D. C.-"Shad fisheries
of the Atlantic coast are doomed unless
the States take immediate steps to pro-
tect them from the rapacity of the fish
ermen." is the opinion held by John W.
Titcomb. in charge of the Matching ser
vice of the United States Fish Commis'
sion.
The great demand for shad roe pre-.
vents natural spawning and perpetual
ton of the species. The bureau is now
closing the Matching and distribution
of shad for this year, and reports from
various stations give startling evidence
that the supply Of shad on the Atlantic
seaboard is rapidly diminishing. ia.
cilities of the bureau allow the hatch.
ing and setting free in the streams OF
the country of 300.000,0O0 shad fry an
nually, but this year only about 45,OOO,'
600 have been handled. The output
was 65. .493, 900 in 1904. and last year ii
was below 57.0OO,00O.
Mr.. Titcomb predicts that in ten
years, without the intervention of State
-"
scarce in the Atlantic rivers that they
will be purchasable only by the stew.
ards of big hotels and those who sup
ply the tables of the very wealthy.
Habits Of the shad lend themselves
admirably to the determination OF the
fish. They approach the shores in i'm
mense schools. actually crowding one
another in their efforts to reach the
head Of the fresh water streams. where
the spawn is deposited. The fishermen
have learned how to intercept the run
BY mats in the bays and in the broad
mouths of the rivers, and the market
able shad are now nearly all caught in
this way.
Few roe shad escape the nets. The
rivers are thus much depleted, the nat
ural spawning Of the fish lntertered
with and the supply of eggs available
for the Matching bureau cut OF.
In pointing out remedy Mr.. III
comb says it is incumbent on the States
to enact restricting laws against the
taking Of fish in the brackish waters OF
the bays and at the mouths of the rlv'
ers. He believes the fish should be al
lowed to ascend the rivers unmolesteds
at least during one of the annual runs
possibly that in May. and during con:
siderable part of the shad season the
catch should be limited to fresh water.
Streams on the Pacific coast have
been stocked, and the shad transplant
ed from its native waters in the Attain
tic Ocean with good results. Shad are
increasing in California and other
Western rivers under the restrictive
laws there enforced.
