Butchers Are Warned I think however how that it would be better to have hae practical butchers rather than veterinary graduates for tors In the first place it would probably probably ably b be impossible for the city ity to secure secure veterinary graduates at the salary salary sal sal- ary any indicated t to do t the e work In th the second place a man with practical experience experience experience ex ex- in the handling of meats can ran cantell cantell tell whet whether her it has been doctored as readily as a colle college e graduate and in inmany inmany inmany many instances much more readily Usually he can also tell at a n glance ance whether r an animal has a disease or not or at any rate can hold out an animal for a n time and report it to the chief inspector for further examination Practical butchers could be bo secured probably at th the salary of 00 90 A s month who would under expert direction amply amply amply am am- ply protect the meat supply of the city It It mi might ht be possible and probably would be possible to secure assistance assistance from the government in m th the matt matter r of inspection Some of the plants are arc certainly certainly doin doing sufficient business to have havo government inspection if they care to and will only announce their intention of doing interstate business Such inspection inspection inspection in in- costs the proprietors of the slaughter houses nothing in the wa way of salaries The only additional f they arc are under is in complying wit v the rules lules set down by the inspectors which are simply rules
