on the part of Uncle Sam. And as the
fund available for expenditure in this
line Ivy the Department of Agriculture
does not reach any further the bene-
fits Of this official inspection still
accrue to only a number of firms. AS far
as the hog inspection and microscopical
examination is concerned, for instance,
that only applies to about 6 per cent. OF
the pork got ready for the market by
these firms, for that is the percentage OF
their export trade when compared with
the whole Volume of the business done
by them. From all this it will be seen
that up to this writing the field OF use
iulncss covered by the bureau OF animal
Inspection is still very limited, and that
1t will need very much larger sums to
accomplish what the law purposed to ac-
complish, viz, thorough examination or
all cattle, sheep and hogs-alive and
as carcasses-intended both for inter-
state commerce and export. However,

The four houses whose export cattle
are Inspected are Armour. Morris,
Swift and +. e. Wells. Together they
oiteE kill from 10, coo to 100000 head OF
cattle in week In each OF their
Saughtcr- houses is a graduated veter-
marian posted on the part OF the FED

occurrence with the inspectors. Ami
mails suffering with any of them are
simply not sent to the stock yards for
export.
The present capacity of the bureau
near the stockyards for testing hog S
meat is 400 per day. The firms that
are the only ones benefited SO far by this
system Of free and gratuitous Govern
ment inspection are Swift, Armour,
Morris, the Chicago Packing, the Anglo
American and the International. Each
of these six firms has 400 hogs-selected
and separated from the rest for export
trade-eXamined by the Government
bureau with a view to determining
whether they're free from trichin@ or
not The usual number of hogs killed
in the slaughter houses of the six firms
named is about 10000, and the 2,400
picked out of this number for export
form just about 6 per cent of the total.
Hence their export trade in pork is not
so large, it will be seen, as many have
believed.

very thorough, yet in the nature of
things it must be very rapid Another
form of cattle inspection is that made
by force of expert veterinarians of the
live stock intended for export. The
busiest season of this kind OF trade is
during the winter, up to about the mid
die OF Aprll. The number thus inspected
by the government officials awera ges
about 5000 head Of cattle per week,
though occasionally the number runs
much higher, and the largest number so
far inspected on q single day was 5000.
There are quite a number of firms en-
gagged in this business OF live exporta-
tons, too many to enumerate them here.
The manner Of inspecting live stock
differs, Of course, radically from the
post-mortem inspection, the latter being
by all odds the more thorough and pains
taking one. The sound or unsound con-
dition of the animals is determined by
their general appearance, the expert eye
of the inspector readily catching any
outward sign OF disease. If any animal
does not look healthy it is rejected and
not tagged. In that case it goes back
to the commission house from which it

goes on the carcass Of each hog, and tho
other goes into the corresponding tin
box, along with three samples OF meat
taken from it.
The Microsco pical Examinations.
A corps of forty microscopists are
busy each week day from 9 in the morn
ing until in the afternoon submitting
these samples taken from the pork mar
ket for export to a very searching test.
This test, let it be remembered, refers
to just this one thing: The absence or
presence of trichin9 in the meat. There
may be other parasites in these sam
pies, Or there may be disease germs or
evidences of putrefaction, etc, etc.
With ali of that the microscopic has
nothing to do His sole and simple
duty is to determine whether in the
samples submitted to him there are
trichin@, yes or no. But SO far as this
test is concerned it is very thorough
and painstaking.
From each Of the three tiny bits Of
meat the microscopist ships off three
small fragments with pair of sharp
scissors. This mite of raw meat is next
transferred to glass slide-scraped
clean before use-and spread out where
upon the mate of this glass slide is
placed over it and the meat crushed be-
tween the two slides to a thin, trans
parent pulp, so as to allow, under the
microscope, the instant detection of any
trichinm, if present in that sample. The
appearance of trichinn is SO character
istic, no matter whether occurring in
the capsuled state or in the adult, full
grown condition. that any person of or
binary intelligence, having once OBJ
served these tiny pests under the mag
nifying glass, cannot help recognizing
them when seen q second time. AS
three samples are taken from each OF
the three bits Of meat in the little tin
box, the test as to each animal is a nine
fold one, and hence reasonably con-
elusive either way.
Great care and cleanliness is, of
course, required with the boxes contain
ing the samples, as we'll as with the
microscopes and their different parts.
The samples each day numbering about
2,400, there are kept 5000 of these little
boxes, so as to allow some 600 Of them
to be kept on ice from one evening til
the next morning and thus always have
q supply for the working force Of micro
scopists. Two women are kept busy al
day securing and cleaning the boxes
and getting them ready for renewed use,
The corps of microscopists is divided
by sex and space. Twenty eight Of the
number are young ladies-nearly al.
good-looking and more or less frisky-
and twelve are men and youths. Dr..

Rctrayed by His Own Curiosity.

During the MOhammedan festival
of the Bairam, an inhabitant of the
village of Funduckli, in Turkey, had
dressed his child, about two years
old, in a shawl and a cap ornamented
with pieces of gold, and intrusted it
ito a slave, who had left it for a mo
iment seated in the court Of the
house. On his return the child was
gone, and every search for it proved
'fruitless. The father applied to the
serasllier (the military commander OF
the districN, entreating him to in.
uuire into the circumstances. This
officer reflected that the child could
not be carried far, on account Of its
cries, and therefore must have been
taken by one of the neighbors. He
did not communicate this idea to any
one, but directed one of his messcn-
gers to go to the village of Funduckli
at the hour OF prayer, to enter the
mosque, and summon the imam 20,
priest) to come Immediately to his
palace.
: When the imam came into the
presence of the seraskier, he received
IA positive injunction to come to him
again on the morrow and give him
the name of the person who first
came to inquire of him the cause of
his being sent for by the scraskier.
The Turks in general pay little at
tention to the affairs of othcrs-not
even those Of their priests: conse-
quently, on returning to the mosque,
one man only came to him to ask the
cause Of SO sudden summons. The
imam replied that it was only in re-
lation to tirman which he was to
have read, but which was withdrawn.
On being informed by the imam of
what had passed, the seraskier
caused the inquisitive man to be
arrested: and after considerable
search the bodyof the child was found
concealed under the staircase of his
house. The inquisitive criminal was
sentenced to be. instantly drowned.

Outlook for the Future.
1t is the intention of the department
of agriculture to extend this Govern
ment inspection Of food animals, alive
and dead, as soon as larger funds will
become available for the purpose, so as
to comprise all the cattle and hogs that
come into the stocllyards. Under the
present workings of the system a GER
tificate-handSOmely engraved and guar
anteed against counterfeiting by num-
Der of safeguards identifying each con-
signment intended for the European
market, is made out after the Govern
ment inspection has been safely passed.
The original Of this is sent to the con
signee, while it's duplicate is transmitted
to the steamboat company which will
convey the meat to transatlantic shores.
Another copy is kept to be filed later on
in Washington. So far as has appeared
up to the present, this system Of in
spection works smoothly and accurately.
That the work of the bureau of AMI
NAL industry in Chicago is attracting
great deal of interest and attention
across the water was made once more
evident some time ago, when a dele
cation OF experts, sent especially from
France, to examine the system OF opera
ton, so as to see whether it really IS
calculated to prevent the expectation Of
unhealthy or infected meat, thoroughly
overhauled the bureau in its various
branches This delegation became
thoroughly satisfied Of the efficiency Of
the work done by the bureau, and in its
report to the home Government honest
" stated this to be the case.
