Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 292, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 December 1914 — FIRST SHIPMENT OF STOCK TO CHICAGO [ARTICLE]

FIRST SHIPMENT OF STOCK TO CHICAGO

That is, the First Since Quarantine Was Established the Sixth Day , of November.

Dr. H. J. Kannal, who has been the agent for the government, the state and the county in enforcing the quarantine established because of the foot and mouth disease, has now been appointed a federal inspector to examine all stock for interstate shipment. The first load to leave Jasper county for the Chicago yards since Nov. 6th was made Thursday night, when Makeever & Zimmer shipped a mixed car load of hogs and calves. The appointment of Dr. Kannal will relieve shippers of the mileage expense of having federal inspectors come from otjier places, also of the delay thus occasioned. The federal fee i§ $5 for a car load of stock, also mileage from Rensselaer- It is probable that there will be active, shipping now that the interstate ban is removed except for the inspection requirement. Shipment to the Indianapolis or Lafayette yards can be made simply on the writen statement of the'shipper and without inspection.
