Caseous Lymphadenitis.— There were 2,110 carcases of imported mutton
examined by the cutting of lymphatic glands. Of these, 1 was found diseased.
This is a further marked reduction of the percentage of diseased carcases.
This shows .047 per cent. against .25 per cent, in 1934. This is undoubtedly
brought about by the more careful examination at the time of slaughter.

warehouses for chemical purposes.
