DR.. III. w. Wiley of the Bureau of
Chemistry of the Department of Agrl-
culture is making inquiry into the SAN
itary conditions of cold storage. 1t
stands to reason, he says, that there
must be limit to the period during
which meat and poultry will keep in
storage in a state fit to eat. The cold
storage companies are on the side Of
the investigators, for obviously it is
to their interest to know under what
conditions food spoils, and to be sure
of the state of perishable goods which
they are sending out to their custom
ers. The department has the use of Il
cold-storage plant in Washington for
purposes of experiment, and will ulti-
mately publish its conclusions in Il
pure food bulletin. 1t is interesting to
learn that although at present the
standards of this department have no
legal force, yet by the natural author
ity which popular sentiment accords
the work of the bureaus, they have
gained something of the effect which
adequate legislation would give them.

American farmers have been raising
macaroni wheat from seed secured in
the first place by the Department OF
Agriculture. Secretary Wilson says
that these farmers will send six mil
lion bushels of their crop to France.
Italy and other parts of Europe this
year. Half of this amount goes to the
macaroni-makers of France. Six mil
lions bushels is a small amount in
comparison with The total wheat ex-
ports, but six years ago this country
exported no wheat of this kind, and it
was only five years ago that the first
seed was distributed by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Results of this
kind amply justify the existence OF
the department.
The boundary in the Great Lakes
between the United States and Canada
cannot be marked by chalk line, nor
by stone monuments. But it is i'm
portant that it should be marked in
some way to avoid the frequent dis
putes as to fishing rights. 1t is now
proposed to anchor buoys in the lakes
along the line, and also along the Ca
madam coast on the Atlantic, three
miles from shore, so that the fisher
men may know when they are tres
passing in foreign waters. This is
more sensible than the act of the ira
ditional numskull, who cut a notch i'm
