HEALTHY CHINESE CATTLE..
As most people are aware, the cattle and stuck generally-with the exception of pigs-consumed in Hongkong come from Shanghai, Foochow, Canton district, and other places on the mainland. It is a curious fact that these cattle, reared sometimes on
A V, S. THEORY,
"The total number of cattle admitted to the depôts at Kennedy Town during the year was 57,693, an increase on the previous year of 19,162. At Hung Hom 6,397 were admitted as against 5,065 of the former year. At Kennedy. Town 37 calle were rejected as unfit for food as against 652 in 1902. This figure is significant of a better class of cattle being imported since the chief cause of rejection is emaciation. At Hung Hom 406 were rejected as unfit. The greater number of these rejections occurred in the early part of the year and the explanation seems to be that many of the caitle which the owners knew well would be rejected at Kennedy Town as unfit were taken to Hung Hom and also to the fact that many of them were reject ed there more than once, E., they were rejected and taken away and brought back again after a month or so and again rejected."
IN THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.
With regard to the methods pursued at Hongkong, it is stated that in nearly all res- pects English principles are followed. There are cattle depois where the cattle are stalled and there are killing houses for cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. It was only yesterday that a statement was made at the Sanitary Board, explaining how the cattle were slaughtered

rations, for an Aberdeen-Angus cow, come down to Hongkong in the healthiest condition. There is, indeed, less disease among the cattle imported here than among those apparently reared under the best conditions for the Eng- lish market. In his report for 1903-4, Mr. Gibson remarked: "1 am pleased to report that tuberculosis is exceedingly rare among pure-bred Chinese cattle as killed in the Hongkong slaughter-houses." And he goes "on"10-say: "I have not yet seen a case, but Que case was, I believe, observed by Dr. Hunter In 1932. This disease, however, is by no means unknown among imported cattle."

The principal disease, if it be, a disease, which the veterinary inspectors find in the cattle landed here, is that of emaciation. That may be a disease or it may be the result of pout feeding, but at any rate it does not sound very terrible.
POLLARD'S FILLIPUTIANS.
There are segregation sheds where cattle of other stock may be placed in case of disease, but these sheds have not been used for something like four months. Then they were occupied by goats, which were diseased What was the disease may be asked. The answer is truly professional: "It killed them off all right, but what it was is another story." A real bit of Kiplingesque, if you please. But as a matter of fact there was nothing very unusual in the way of disease during the year, and any case there was has already appeared in the Sanitary Board reports. With reference to the cattle and stock exported, it is stated
that most of these are sent to Manila.
