During the last week in Decem- ber in one Western Canadian pack- ing plant, a survey showed that nearly one quarter of the cattle and nearly one third of the hogs were ` bruised to a greater or less extent. Every bruise meant that a piece of meat of varying size -had to be-cut out and turned into ,tankage; and every piece cut out injured the ap- pearance of the carcass and reduced its selling value. Such losses even- tually `come back to the producer, and it is evidently in our interest to do all we cm to prevent bruising while the animal is in our`-`hands and to get our live stock association and cooperative representatives af- ter the transportation companies to do their part also. { MADAME M.
