HE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
INSPECTION REGULATIONS

The inspection by this department of
cattle and pork products intended for ship
ment abroad has been the basis of tue sue
cess which has attended our efforts to
secure the removal of the restrictions
maintained by the European governments.
For ten years protests and petitions upon
this subject from the packers and stock
raiseIs of the United States have been
directed against those restrictions, which
so seriously limited our markets aud cur
tailed the profits o. the farm. II Is a
source of general congratuiation that sue
cess has at last been attained; for tue
effects of an enlarged foreign market tor
these meats will be felt, not only by the
farm, but in our public finances, aud in
every branch of trade. Its particularly
fortunate that the increased demand for
food produces resulting from tue removal
of the restrictions upon orr meats and
from the reciprocal trade arrangements to
which have referred. should have come
at a time when the agricultural surplus Is
so large Without the help thus derived
lower prices would have prevailed. Tie
secretary of agriculture estimates that the
restrictions upon tue importation OF our
pork products into Europe lost market
Tor SO 0O0, coo worth OF these products

Not even Jersey cows can make the
richest colored or best favored butter IL
improperly fed. There are certain foods
that are unfit for butter cows to eat,
and others that must be fed sparingly
and cautiously. On the other hand,
there are foods especially adapted to
butter-making. OF this latter class,
grass ranks first but there is grass and
grass-good, better and best; and grass
is summer food, while winter is the
time when the real butter COW puts in
her best work. Among the grains corn
meal is perhaps the best butter food,
but 1t needs to be reinforced with oat
meal, wheat bran, cotton meal or oil
meal, and when there is no green grass
good silage is the best substitute; next
to silage, early cut clover hay and well
cured corn fodder. With good assort-
ment of these butter foods, rood Jersey
COWS will stand by their colors day in
and day out, the year round.-Jersey

sISULPHIDE OF CARBON.
The Most Reliable and Safest Remedy
Against Gram weevils.

The Most Reliable and Safest Remedy
Against Gram weeviIs.
Prof. Riley declares that the use of
bisulphide of carbon against different
insects attacking stored grain has
greatly increased in this country since
he first recommended it some thirteen
years ago. There is, however, consid-
cradle diversity in the method of using
it and the recommendations of some of
our writer's have evidently been made
with no sense of the fact that the
fumes are heavier than air and descend
rather than ascend. Prof. A. II. Church
in a recent number of the Kew Bulle-
tin records that he found that one and
one-half pounds of bisulphide is enough
to each ton of grain. He advises that
it be applied in the following way: A
ball of tow is tied to a stick of such
length that it can reach the middle OF the
vessel containing the grain. The tow
receives the charge of bisulphide, Ike
a sponge, and is then at once plunged
into the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening of the vessel then be-
inE tightly closed. When nee
essary, the stick may be with
drawn and the charge (of .one ounce
to one hundred pounds of grain) may
he renewed. The action of carbon BIZ
sulphide lasts in ordinary cases six
weeks, after which period fresh
charge is required. The bisulphide
does no harm to the grain as regards its
color, smell or cooking properties and
the terminating power of most seeds is
not apprcciably affected, provided that
not too much is used, nor its action con-
tinued for too long period.
The assistant director OF agriculture
of Burmah is reported to have used
naphthaline instead of bisulphide in
the following way, but Prof. Riley
would not expect, he says, anything
like as good results from the naphtha-
line as from the bisulphide: A hollow
bamboo cylinder one and one-half
inches in diameter with stick fitted
into the cavity is pushed down to the
bottom of the bin, the stick is then
withdrawn and few teaspoonfuls of
naphthaline powder is poured into the
bamboo, which is then drawn out leav-
ing the naphthaline ut the bottom of
the bin. If the bins are very large this
should be done once to every ten feet
square and the application should he
repeated every fifteen or twenty days.

In answer to the subscriber who asks
whether sheep should be fed turnips
while carrying lambs, we would say,
that the moderate feeding of turnips or
other root crops at that time is not con-

either sheep or lambs, but too heavy
feeding of any root is. The same is
true of ensilage, as far as the lambs

more rugged order peculiar to South
eastern Europe, and they are peculiarly
fond of jewelry. They wear their
trinlets on all occasions when they don
their better attire, and the quantity of
jewelry necessary to satisfy their am
bition is surprising. The greatest OBJ
