FOR AMPLE SUPERVISION
Health Officer Proposes New
Regulation for District
SIaughterhouses.

Better regulation of slaughterhOuses in
the District of Columbia will be recon-
mended by DIR. William c. Woodward.
health officer of the District. in his re-
port on the operations Of the past fiscal
year. now being prepared for transmits
sion to the Commissioners.
According to the health officers report
of a year ago. animals are commonly kill
ed before they are seen by any repre-
sentative Of the department.. and ordinari-
ly the carcasses are disposed Of without
any inspection except such as they re-
ceive after having been dressed, cut up
and placed upon the retail stands In
stores and markets. 1t is stated that this
custom still prevails.
Congress Fails to Act.
In 1907 there was introduced in Con-
gress bill providing regulations for the
maintenance of slaughterhouses in the
District. upon which no action has been
taken. With other things. this meas
ure provides that upon each carcass in
spected and passed by an inspector OF
the health department labels shall De
placed, showing the registration NUMBER
Of the slaughterhouse, and that each car
cass condemned shall be injected with
kerosene so as to prevent its sale.
The bill has the approval of the health
department. 1t is stated that there are
about twenty three small slaughterhouses
in the District, subject only to such SUI
pervision as the inspectors OF dairy farms
can give them, and the legislation is
needed which will provide more effective
inspection.

ordinary Cow The Kind That the Iowa Farmer Millions.

This is the tale of an ordinary COW.
1t is the popular thing to tell about
the extraordinary COW, with Its enor-
nous milk production, but it may be
the profitable thing to tell about the
ordinary COW, which gives barely
enough milk to pay for its keep. More
over, the Iowa farmer seems to like
the ordinary COW, because he keeps so
many of her.
This COW was found on farm in
a dairy expert of the extension depart
ment of the Iowa agricultural college.
1t was one of a herd of ten COWS en-
tered in the Pioneer Cow Testing as
ISOLATION. organized by the extension
department. She looked to be ordt-
nary, and she gave milk that was ordi-
nary in quantity and quality. She was
like million or more other cows in
Iowa. In short, there was nothing ex.
traordinary about her except her APP.
petite-she came rather near to eat
ing her head off every year. But that
is not every extraordinary. either. for
the average COW in Iowa also comes
dangerously near to doing that.
This ordinary COW produced only
153 pounds Of butter fat in the twelve
months she was tested by the exten.
sion department expert. That Is about
what the average COW in Iowa does
This butter fat sold for $51.22; the
food she ate cost $325 That left
$1S.66 to pay for the trouble she made
and the barn room she occupied, and
interest on the investment
1t didn't pay the farmer to keep her
1t was worth more than $3.50 month
to look after her. so the man who
owned her lost money on the time ht
gave her, unless he counted in the ma
nure on her credit side Of the ledger
Right alongside this ordinary COW
stood another COW that gave empha
sis to her ordinariness. In the year
