Under date of August 24, 1914, a

retary, was sent to members of the
American National Live Stock Asso
elation, giving valuable Information
under the following topics: "New
Meat Inspection Regulations." "Com

Agriculture to Study Meat SItua
Hon." "Increase In Grazing Charges

"Imports of South American Beef."
Some of the matter contained in
the circular will be of such interest
to members of the Nebraska Stock
Growers Association and other read
ers of The Herald that it is herewith
published:
New Meat Regulations
The Department of Agriculture
has issued, to take effect November
1, 1914, revised regulations govern
ing the Inspection of meats which
enter into the interstate or foreign
commerce of the United States,
These new regulations provide that
if any slaughtering establishment
violates same. It may suffer the pen
alty of having federal inspection
withdrawn. This will result in bet
ter sanitary conditions at packing
houses. The rule regarding ante
mortem inspection has been changed
so that animals in which there is
clear evidence, on ante-mortem in
spection has been changed so that
animals In which there is clear evi
dence, on ante-mortem inspection, of
the existence of disease which unfits
its meat for food, must be slaughter
ed in a separate place. The most im
portant change is In the handling of
the meat from animals where the
disease is in strictly localized cysts
or lesions. Such meat can now be
sterilized and thoroughly cooked,
and sold In cans or sealed contain
era, labeled "second-class sterilized.'
The sterilized meat, which the pack
era are to be permitted to sell as
"second-class sterilized." is the meat
of portions of animals the fat of
which the old regulations permitted
the packers to make into edible lard
and tallow. The process of render
ing served to sterilize the fat and
make it entirely hygienic. The new
plan extends the same principle so
as to utilize the lean portions of
this meat, which heretofore packers
have not been allowed to sell for
food purposes. This action follows
scientific investigations made by
specialists of the department, and
by independent veterinarians and
physiologists, which have made It
clear that large qunatltles of meat,
which are perfectly good food when
thoroughly cooked, have been con
demned because of the presence of
strictly localized cysts or lesions in
animals. This meat is of the type
which the German and Austrian gov
ernments have long permitted their
packers to sterilize by cooking, and
sell at shops in a cooked condition.
' This regulation is most timely, in
view of the fact that every ponnd of
meat condemned necessarily adds to
the cost of that which is passed, and
It will serve to reduce the large per
centage of losses which packers take
Into account in buying live stock and
selling its product.
While our domestic production of
meat is rigidly Inspected, foreign
meats which come int othis country
are not subject to so efficient super
vision. It is practically Impossible
for our federal Inspectors to make
as thorough examination at the
ports of entry of imported frozen or
chilled meats as is made at the
slaughtering establishments in this
country, where diseased parts can
be more readily detected. Therefore
this country has to depend largely
on foreign Inspection which, it has
been repeatedly claimed, 4s not as
thorough and careful as in this
country. Our Resolution No. 14,
adopted at our last annual meeting,
refers to this matter, and It is re
ceiving proper attention by your of
fleers.
Committee Aiqtolnted by Secretary
or Agriculture to study
Meat Situation
In December of 1913, Secretary of
Agriculture Houston appointed a
special committee of five to study the
economics of the meat situation, in
eluding methods for improvement in
live-stock conditions and increasing
production. Said committee has out
lined a very comprehensive plan of
work, has appointed several subcom
mittees, and has delegated to the
various bureaus of the Department
of Agriculture the collection and
preparation of data. The Forest
Service has been requested to inves
tigate and report on methods of
utilizing and Increasing the carrying
capacity of the ranges and, in co-operation
with the Bureau of Animal
Industry, to report on the cost of
producing meat animals on the rang
es. Forester Graves has sent a let
ter to many representative stock
men, asking for detailed Information
as to cost of production of stock on
the range, and it is important that
those who receive his request should
be careful to suppl yaccurate information.
Among other committees appoint

products through wholesalers and

clamor about high prices of meats,

and the difference between what the
producer receives for live stock and
what the consumer pays for the pro

and will be argued orally in Wash
ington in October, and a decision
will probably be rendered this fall.
Western railroads are also consid
ering many other Increases in their
rates, and at a private meeting of
their chief traffic officials, held at
Chicago, In May of this year, it was
decided, to secure advances in class
rates by readjustment of the classi
fication, to make specific advances in
commodity rates, that lumber rates
be increased 2 cents per hundred
pounds, grain and grain products 1
cent per hundred pounds, coal and
coke 10 cents per ton, and that on
all other interstate traffic a horizon
tal advance of 10 per cent be made
wherever possible. In addition to
these advances, the traffic officials
decided hereafter to charge for many
of the alleged special services which
railroads now perform, such as spot
ting cars, absorption of switching
charges, charges for loading and un
loading of live stock, etc.
The Important western railroads
are in very much better financial
condition than the lines operating in
Central Freight Association or Trunk
Line territory. Despite the increase
in operating expenses, the surplus of
western railroads continues to grow.
and large sums are spent annually
out of their current revenue for ad
ditions and betterments. With large
crops, and consequently greater ton
nage and increased earnings already
in sight, it will be very difficult for
western railroads to jsutify any in
crease in their charges. The West,
and particular! ythe intermountain
section, is already burdened with
high freight charges on all its prod
ucts.

Profitable PrlceM for Farm Product
The greatest encouragement that
can be given agriculture is profitable
prices for farm products. Crop de
stroying insects have been a stub
born enemy, and Jupiter Pluvius has
played many pranks on the farmer,
but thero Is no pestilence like low
prices; they will sap the life-blood
of an Industry.
It is one of the most pitiful sights
in twentieth century civilization to
see a farmer after he has raised a
crop Bit helplesely by and watch the
bulls and bears of Europe and Am- '
erica trample over It, and yet It the
farmer will only organize and co-operate
be can successfully fence out
these animals that devastate his
products after the harvest.
The Nebraska framer needs co
operation as badly as diversification.

IMPOUTANT NOTICE
TO CATTLE MEN
There is not a man in Nebraska
who needs to use a cattle brand but
what would want to be a member of
the Nebraska Stock Growers Associ
ation, if he understood fully the ben
efits to be derived from membership.
There are other good reasons besides
brand inspection why stockmen
should be members, but that alone
is worth many times the cost.' The
money returned to members every
year from strays and stolen cattle la
many times the amount paid in an
nually on membership dues.

eight dollars;, the year ending June,
1912, fourteen dollars; and for the
five years ending June, 1914, twenty
five dollars. '
