is the effect of a statement sent to the
legislature by A. f. Frederick, state
humane officer. Though there be a
number of good laws relating TO cru
city, yet there is still much legisla-
ton needed" says Mr.. Frederick.
Among subjects which should be leg
islated upon are the following: The
shipment Of livestock. In extreme
weather, especially calves; improve
ment of railroad stockyards regula-
ton of trapping of fur-bearing ami
mails; enlargement of powers of the
state humane officer; fixed terms for
county humane officers increase in
moral. and humane education In the
schools and the Withholding of
slaughter of food animals; division Of
fines, collected for violation OF humane
laws, with Incorporated humane, so-
cieties whose officers make the arrest,
etc. Numerous changes are also
needed to improve existing laws. There
should also be an impartial and thor

the necessity for vivisection and suf-
