BUTCHERS DO NOT
PRACT|CE,,CLEAN.
Illness
No Need of Ill-smelling
slaughterhouses, Says Chi
cago Meat Expert.

81 noticed an article in your COL
umns several days ago about certain
slaughter house in the vicinity and
commenting unfavorably upon the
method of killing and the odious
smells resultant" said l.. T. Fraser,
a Chicago meat man last evening
while in conversation with an Even
ing Times representative.
"You should take trip through
one of our large Chicago packing
houses, where government inspection
is enforced" continued the traveller.
"The inspection now is very thorough
and the number of concentrations of
diseased meats is very large. Of
course, it is not to be presumed that
conditions in the packing houses are
now perfect. The law has not been
in force long enough for all the im-
provements to have been made that
might have been desired. but the pro-
gress that has been made is entirely
satisfactory, and quite surprising to
those who We're acquainted with the
situation as it was before and after.
There is no country in the world
that has as good meat inspection laws
as the United States. Notwithstanding
the fact that the laws of most foreign
countries are thought to be rigid in
this respect Germany falls below
the United States in meat inspection.
In Germany. while the meat is in
spected and quantities of it condemn
ed. still this condemned meat is
thoroughly boiled and sold at a low
figure to the poorer classes. who are
willing to purchase it. There the
condemned meat is not good enough
for the rich man. but is good enough
for the poor one, while in this coun-
try the rich and the poor are treated
alike. What is too bad for one is
too bad for the other. and all con-
demned meat is destroyed. ..
''At each of the packing houses
where the business is large enough
to warrant it one or more veterinaries
are stationed. 1t is the business of
aminations of the animals killed.
When the business done is not large
enough to justify a veterinarian be-
ing kept all the time. arrangements
have been made whereby he can be
at one slaughterhouse at a specified
time and at another house at another
specified time, and these houses are
allowed to kill only at such times as
he is present.
These veterinarians must all be
graduates of some reliable college,
and they must have passed a civil
service examination. They are con-
stantly changed from one place to
another. This is done ,to keep them
from becoming friendly with any of
the packers, and to insure better SER
vice. The penalty for attempting to
bride one of these officials is $1,000.
In addition to the veterinarians, meat
inspectors are stationed at each
house, and these, like the others, are
constantly changed"
Locally, there is no justification
in bad smelling slaughter house.
If things are kept clean there will be
no bad odors to permeate the atmos-
y,horo0

FARMER WANTED A WIFE
Ward County Man Ready to Mortgage
His Horses for q Real Live
Woman.

Minot Independent: Aug. Rasmus-
sen, an Imperial farmer IS years of
age, and good looking as we'll as rich,
visited Judge Murray's matrimonial
bureau Monday and stated that he was
will to give $3.50 for wife. He
didn't care if she was a little cross
eyed or whether or not she had few
teeth missing. but one of the stipula-
tons was that she must be good
cook. In fact that was to be the es-
sential quality. No woman, however
young and handsome, is good enough
for Mr.. Rasmussen. unless she can
make bread like mother used to make
it.
Rasmussen stated that he had many
cares as farmer and could no longer
afford to do his own cooking.
The judge stated that he would do
the best he could for the young swain
from Imperial and in the meantime
advised him to wait with patience.
Rasmussen for several days was
glued fast to the judges Offices and
would hardly leave it for his. meals.
While the judge has many applica-
tons from young women, old maids
and widows of uncertain ages, he
could find none that could quite suit
Mr.. Rasmussen as to her cooking
propensities and the forlorn bachelor
was compelled to go home without a
wife.
He stated that while he did not
have the ready money, he was per-
fectly willing to mortgage his horses
with which to raise the price of get
ting married.
The judges agency is becoming
known far and wide and every day
he has applications.

BENEFIT TO FARM.
ERS OF NORTH
ERN PARTS
Completion of Aneta-D Devils
Lake Line Will Give Track
to Local Freights.

From present indications it will not
be long before the new Aneta-Devils
Lake extension of the Great Northern
will be completed. The track was
finished to within ten miles of Devils
ceived here was that the work of lay
ing the remainder piece of track would
be begun this morning. For some
time past there was large gang of
men at work Strengthening the new
track which has been laid last fall and
it is expected that as soon as the re-
naming ten miles have been complete
ed the line will be ready for service
On account of the scarcity of labor
the work may proceed a little slower
than it ordinarily would but it cam
not be long in any event before the
line is completed and in operation.
1t has been predicted that when the
new line is completed there would be
a change in the schedule Of the Great
Northern and there can be little doubt
that additional train service will be
put on the Aneta line. as there is only
one train day each day There has
been some speculation regarding the
probability of the Great Northern run
ming either its Oriental limited train
or the Puget Sound express over the
new route. and it is possible this may
be done. The new line will undoubt-
eddy be much used by coast bound
trains.
The using Of this line by coast
freight trains would be Of immense
benefit to the farmers of the northern
section of the state. In the fall OF
the year. with conditions so congested
the coast trains are liable to hold
things badly up. However when
they are sent around by the new route
these trains will not have to be taken
care of on the Dakota division, this
giving the track to local freights.

the next two weeks the drills will be
a common sight. One enterprising
farmer, Robert Brown of Orr, has
already seeded thirty acres. Mr..
Brown is located on the Hancock

Commissioner Haddow says there
is no use worrying about the crops
for there have been many years when
the seeding was as backward as at

MEETS Accidental DEATH
Antler Homesteader Thrown From

lowing Morning.

Word comes from Antler of the
accidental death there of Michea1 j.
Kelly. The deceased was home
steader, and left Antler late in the
afternoon for his home. Some few
miles from that town. his rig became
fast in the snow, and it was necessary
for him to secure another rig. He
borrowed this from farmer nearby,
and continued on his journey. The
next morning his dead body was
found some distance down the road.
From the condition of the snow, it
would seem that the unfortunate man
suffered considerably before death
came to relieve his pain. 1t is sup
posed that the horses ran away, and
that he was thrown from the rig, be-
ing killed in that manner.
