In England much well-directed but quiet propaganda is going on with a view to arrest the demand for imported mutton and lamb. It is said that evidence of cheesy glands (Caseous lymphadenitis) is found in a great deal of the mutton and much of the lamb that is imported from the Dominions, particularly Australia. It is alleged that in Australia the practice of shearing sheep by machine causes many abrasions of the skin, and that in consequence the disease germs are given access to the blood of the animal. More rigid inspection of the ports of shipment is advocated, and the inspectors of imports to Britain are urged to be doubly careful in their work. This propaganda might easily be very damaging to the meat export trade.
