The considerate attention of the farmers of
the whole country is invited to the work done
through the state and agricultural departments
in the interest OF agriculture. Our pork pro-

providing for the inspection and official certiti
cation OF our meats and giving the president
power to forbid the introduction into this coun
try OF selected products OF such countries
as shall continue to refuse our inspected meat,
enabled us to open all the markets OF Europe to
our products. The result has been not only TO
sustain prices by providing new market for
our supplies, but to add 80 cents per 100 pounds
to the market value of inspected meats. I'm

increase. The agricultural department has
maintained in Europe an agent whose special
duty is to introduce the various preparations

1t is not possible for me to allude in the brief
est way to many of the topics presented. In the
resolutions adopted by the convention upon that

have expressed my views. A change in the
