10Th, TPON THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRl-
CULTURE.


CULTURE.
Mr. Chairman, | think there is a good
deal of undeserved reproach cast on the
noble Department OF Agriculture. The
gentleman from Illinois Mr.. Famsworth7
undertook to say that the present Com
missioner OF Agriculture kept q cuisine to
cook the seeds sent to him from all parts
of the world. Laughter, Other mem
hers say he boards ard lives in our Patent
Office free OF expense. recollect when
the Commissioner of Agriculture used to
make butter for the presidential Mansion.
those were unctuous and happy DAYS.
Laughter. The gen1lest COWS of Penn
sylyanin furnished the milk and there was
40 constitutional question raised on the
COW. Laughter remember well that
a former Commissioner raised Strawber-
reS for the presidential Mansion. II is a
part of the business OF that bureau.
Laughter There IS no question of its
eonstitulionaity. Laughter
L seems we are now to have in the agri-
cultural bureau a microscopes In fact
it is 4 part Of our new bureaucratic sys-
tenn Briug in the microscope, that we
may see the nsectivorOus animals which
are proving upon and annoying this use

/ am amazed that the House does not
appreciate these reports on agriculture
