INSPECTION OF STOCK.
(to the editor.) Sxa, —I have no desire to cause a scare, but feel impelled from a sense of public duty to call attention to the fact that in some parts of this district cattle are sometimes offered for sale that bear indications of suffering from some Kind of trouble. When anything of this kind is noticed the reply is— “ Oh, that beast is all right—the marks you see are due to injuries.” These things point to the necessity for the utmost vigilance on the part of those entrusted with the duty of inspecting stock. In writing thus I have no desire to reflect on the local officials, but it is impossible for them to be übiquitous, and where people are unscrupulous enough to tender doubtful stock for sale it is well that every precaution should be taken to prevent anything of the kind passing into public consumption.—Yours etc., Observer.
