The work of the next few months
will consist mostly Of establishing a
thorough system of meat and milk in
spectlon, the Importance Of which can
not ne overestimated. In regard to
the meat inspection | wish to speak
most particularly. Many diseased ami
Ssals now go to the block and ulti-
nately appear on your table which
should be condemned. This is due to
a.e fact that we have no federal or
state inspection and therefore must
+tepend upon municipal inspection.
Municipal inspection to be any way
affective must be carried on in mu-
asripaf slaughter houses. This slaugh-
Ger house must be owned and controll-
ed by the city and all animals must
be examined before and after killing
~ the city veterinarian. In this way
a1d in this way only will you elimin-
ate the danger of diseased meat reach
lug your table. Diseases such as tu-
~b.rculosis, hoof and mouth, black leg
ARd 'umpy jaw in cattle, and cyst in
sheep and swine are all transmittable
diseases to human beings. or these
the most dangerous and prevalent is
tuberculosis, which is found in all
ANIMALS used for food. Of the three
slaughter houses in Devils Lake none
are fitted for sanitary killing. Slaugh-
ter house No. / rates about 70 per
oest. 100 per cent is perfect score.
ana considering this the public may
Get an idea of how far the best slaugh-
GER house falls below perfection. It's
doors are cement and it's side walls
IRE cemented about four feet up. The
shal is carried out in an open sewer
about a hundred feet from the killing
roon and is then taken off and bur
ed- The killing and cooling is done
N two separate rooms, but the ventil-
alton in the cooling room is hardly
sufficient. 1t is screened but flies get
in more or less, rendering a very un-
sanitary condition.
Slaughter house No. 2 scored so per
set. 1t has a cement floor and an
open cement sewer and the offal goes
cut about 80 feet and then is carried
away and buried. There are separ-
ate killing and cooling rooms, but
neither are up to sanitary require
nsItts, although the place is screened
and hies get in more or less.
Slaughter house No. 8 has a floor
azlt cement. Killing and cooling
are done in the same room. Poorly
screened and flies very numerous. Of
tal taken off in wooden trench about
fifty feet and emptied into uncovered
hsie in ground. Water very poor
None Of the slaughter houses are in
4 SANITARY condition, nor can they be
put Ill such condition and in summer
TAME with flies around and decaying
'ffal it is impossible to pass meat
Killed under such conditions.
