Humane Casting We have frequently referred to the experiments in

more humane methods of casting cattle for Jewish slaughter. We are glad to hear that the trial carried out at Leeds last week in the presence of a committee of experts was satisfactory. The Weinberg casting pen was used, and the average time taken was 9 1-6th seconds. We understand that the London Board of Shechita pro- poses to arrange a further trial soon at Islington.
