To Inspect stock for shlnment.

One of the important acts passed
by the last legislature was chapter
625, providing for the establishment
OF a system OF appointing veterinari-
ans for inspection of stock for inter
state shipment 1t also provides a
penalty for anyone who makes an in
speetion for interstate shipment with
out having authority to do so from the
Wisconsin department OF agriculture.
Under the previous system no one
was designated 20 IKE charge Of this
work
1t provides that the live stock sani-
tary board may compel the attend
ance of witnesses in all its investiga-
tons
1t further provides that where evi-
dence is procured that shippers use
questionable methods in the handling
of their cattle the right to inspection
shall be withdrawn from such firms.
Considerable criticism has been d.
rected against the live stock sanitary
board m the past owing to it's inabil-
ity to enforce certain measures which
seem TO be required of il. said Doctor
Eliason, state veterinarian. There is
no likelihood of such criticism being
heard in the future The live stock
sanitary board already has acted in
three cases and is conducting inves-
legations of several more. 1t is the
determination of this department to
place the live stock industry OF Wis
consin beyond reproach."
