Twelve thous and Illinois men have been missioned ns special ^constables in of the most highly lorganized anti-cruelty societies in the United States. Formed four years ago as the De- > partment of Constabulary of the State Society for Prevention Cruelty and Apprehension of Horse I and Automobile Thieves, the organ!, j ratio has extended into every ty, and is now branching out in Indiana and Wisconsin under similar laws. There are already nearly thousand members in each of those [ states. Organized along semi-military lines, the constabulary forms adjunct to the regular paid peace officers, ready to assign in any emergency, or to take charge In the absence of the regular authorities. While tha original purpose of the movement was to prevent cruelty and track horse and automobile thieves, the department now maintains auto mobile patrols, operates a special intelligence service of ferret out vice gambling, boouegging and other offenses, and furnishes keep order at fires and in other emergencies. Among the cases brought by the constabulary, and now pending in Chicago courts, is one in which a large teaming contractor is accused of underfeeding 500 horses. As e result of the society's work accord ing to Waiter P. Stuart, general snperinteiident of constabulary, diseased, overworked and underfed horses have practically been eliminat ed from Chicago.

Its another matter of ** merit to control the form and the col and the shape and make the ani mals beautiful as well as useful, ac. cording to the secretary’s views. "You and the man who hnve gono before you,” he continued, “have moulded the animal from not only to satisfy the eye of the lover of good live stock and to satisfy the taste of the epicure, but to meet the needs of commerce. Working with un- forccs year nftcr year, you have finally produced in living form the ideal which your brain conceived.” Then as to the science of the busi-! (ss as it is rcllccted in the flow of commerce, the secretary mentioned that hog growers in this day and age change the form as the needs require adding to or taking from it, pro. ducing more fat or more lean, m< bacon or more lard, larger hams smaller hams, “as the changing char acter and the supply of feed oi changing tastes of the consumers make necessary. It is a real job, the secretary asserted, and one in which the federal government is vitally in terested, because among other rea- groat meat eating and meat producing nation is one that never suffers from famine. Such a nation as this, he said, has in its live stock great storage reser voirs for grains and grass and great national plants for the refining of foods unsuitable for human consump tion “to the extent unrealized by the most of the world.” During the last year, the speaker said, the hogs have paid for the corn they ate about twice the price for which it could have been Id on the markets. The secretary told of many experL ments being carried on by the depart, ment, which it was hoped would ben efit the industry. “The swine growers of the south,” he continued, “have had a great deal of trouble with soft pork. In many sections the carcasses do not stand up well, and consequently tha pack, era are buying these hogs at a dia. count We are studying this problem in cooperation with seven different southern experiment stations. All of the scientific laboratory work, slaughtering testa, physical and chemical examinations aro made on oar own farm at Beltavillo, Md., the hoga being shipped in at different times.
