Like Canada and other progressive countries, Holland has a meat inspection law 

 by which Veterinary inspection is applied to all slaughter houses killing animals for export. 

 To cover losses on pigs condemned farmers pay an insurance of about four cents per hog. 

 which, when pooled by the packing firms, about covers the losses which are chiefly due 

 to tuberculosis. This tax is imposed in the form of a deduction from the purchase price of 

 the hogs. It may be stated that in Canada this principle is applied to a limited extent with 

 satisfaction in the buying of certain classes of cattle. It might well be applied in the buying 

 of hogs.
