Almost Famine. - improved Methods off


From time to time the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor
has received reports from it's various
consuls in Germany giving accounts
of a meat famine in the Faderland
The scarcity Of cattle in Germany is
probably due primarily to the strict
laws of that country forbidding impor-
tation of live stock from countries in
which certain animal diseases are
known to exist. The elaborate and
complicated system Of inspections and
prohibitions imposed upon the impor-
tatiOn of meats and domestic animals
by the new meat inspection law of
Germany, which went into effect a few
months ago, had the effect of increas-
ing the prices of pork, beef, veal and
mutton by diminishing the available
supply. On account of a few cases of
Texas fever which existed among the
cattle coming from the southern and
Western part of the United States, live
stock from this country are excluded;
similarly because cases of foot and
mouth disease were known to exist in
Russia, Denmark and Sweden, cattle
from those countries are likewise de-
MED admission.
Soon after the new inspection law
was put into effect the imports of live
stock and meat supplies greatly de-
creased until the situation in Germany
was extremely grave Prices asked for
dressed meat went quite beyond the
reach Of many working people in the

farmers who are maintaining that the
practical agriculturist does not have
much faith in experiments conducted
at experiment stations, as they are
on such a small scale that great
weight cannot be attached to the re-
suits. The statement is made that
were these experiments made on a
large scale or under conditions such
as confront the farmer himself, they
might prove more valuable. Taking
this standpoint as rule to follow the

results when used in shed or colony
