“BOBBY CALF” TRAFFIC.
CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT. INSPECTOR’S REPORT. (By Telegraph—Special to Standard.) AUCKLAND. .Sept. 13. At a meeting of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inspector J. Hollingworth reported that he had spent several days investigating the “bobby calf” traffic at various stations in the Franklin district, also at freezing works. He was of the opinion that there had been a considerable improvement in tho trade. The majority of the calves were arriving at the works in a much better condition than last year, rejects for bruising and under-nourishment being down at Horotui to two per cent. The freezing works had sufficient slaughtermen to deal with calves on the day they arrived, the maximum number killed at Horotui in one day being 4085. “Owing to the action taken by the society last year,” added the inspector, “I feel-' sure that the buyers on the whole are co-operating with us to bring about a better state of affairs than has been obtained in the past.”
