WOULDN'T STOP INSPECTION.
DRS. BRYANT AND HUBER THINK MEAS
URES To PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS IN
CATTLE SHOULDN'T BE RELANED.

Dr. Joseph D. Bryant said yesterday to a Trib-
une reporter he hoped the recent statement OF
DR. Koch regarding bovine and human tubercle
hacilli would not bring about relaxation In the
among cattle He also expressed the hope that
the inspection of meat and milk would be continued
as vigorously as at present.
Il do rot think that DIR. Koch has proved con-
clusiveIy that bovine tuberce bacil not trans

There is no doubt that tuberculosis is rampant

which is undertaken for the purpose Of learning
whether or not they suffering with tubercu-
losis and thereby checking the spread Of the dis

markets would not be judicious. This inspection
should be carried carefully In the past.
even IL DR.. Kochs theory be proved TO be correct
by investigation The thought Of eating meat and
drinking milk from tuberculous animals is not at
all nice. And moreover. eating such meat and
drinking such milk would certainly be unwhoe

THE QC4LITY OF FRUIT.
DEALERS DENY HOUSEKEEPERS' CONTEN-
TION THAT 1T IS NOT AS GOOD
AS IT WAS

The complaint is frequently heard from bouss
Keepers nowadays that in the last five or six years
there has been a noticeable decline in the oualitv
OF fruit The complaint is by means limited 70
the defects of the present season. which has not
upheld the standard of recent seasons in regard 10
the small fruits. and which promises to be de-
cidedly off year with apples For several years
1t is asserted the kets have afforded no suca
plentiful supply of the best fruit as they placed
before the purchasers of eight or ten years ago
number OF plausible reasons have been brought
forward accounting sufficiently for the socallet
present decadence In the QUALITY of fruit, Tn.
vast amount of fruit raised in every parl ur tina
country suggests overprOductiOn as one cause
Again. the very high prices that American fruit
commands in the capitals of Europe make ii likely
that the choicest fruit raised does not ind its
way 10 the American markets but is set ausrt
for the foreign export trade.
1t must in justice be admitted that the fruit deal
ers take somewhat more hopeful view of the
case than that held by the housekeepers Whole
sale dealers seem agreed that fruit received to-
day is as good, If not better than that OF eight
or ten years ago The California growers have
brought the raising and shipping of fruit to
science. and farmers throughout the East are doing
their best TO compete with them. Georgia peaches
nave an established reputation, and New-Jersey
peaches were never finer than at present Farmers
are realizing in all parts of the country that the
demand for poor fruit is small The opinion. too Of
statements OF the wholesale men.
Mr. Morse, of Charles & Co.. says that ths
quality OF fruit il steadily improving and though
ne admits that much of the best American fruit
Is shipped abroad he believes that finer fruit never
found its way to the home markets than that
coming in now. The Improvement in Western fruit
Is especially notable. As good apples as are grown
anywhere now come from OreSOn and Colorado
Eastern farmers would do well to copy the excel
lent methods of fruit packing now universal in the
racine states Instead Of sending 70 market pears
packed In barrels they would DO well TO wrap eacn
pear separately, and then 10 pack them IN boxes
according to the Western custom
Mr. West. of Brandeis Brothers. thinks Jnat
Just as good fruit is shipped abroad Is sold N

peaches is steady and Georgia peaches furnish ad-
mirable crops. In Delaware. too, the canning N
duStry is steadily on the Increase Mr.. West nncs
that farmers heTeaboUtS are striving TO vie VITA
the farmers of the West in producing nothing out
the best quality of fruits
One fact both wholesale and retail men rranAN
admit, that the price OF fruit has gone up. Fet
haps the housekeepers feel that the advance u
price only tends to confirm their original theory.
At any rate. it would he a difficult task to con-
vince them that the quality of fruit is now Sue
