LOCAL MILK AND MEAT 1sspEcrross

LOCAL MILK AND MEAT INSPECTION
With increased knowledge, of bac-
teriology and corresponding appre-
citation Of the important part which
germ life occupies in the existence and
emphasis is coming to be placed upon
the Importance and necessity Of hav-
ing food supplies, and particularly mile
and meat products, free from contam-
nation by disease germs. A thriving
western city with which we are ac-
quainted which has gradually evolved
from quiet rural hamlet to bustling
manufacturing center has lately decid-
ed on an inspection of all milk and
meat which are to be sold in the corpora
ton. The city council was led to take
this action as result Of the discovery
of q considerable number of tubercu-
losis cases and the discovery that some
diseased animals We're being killed for
the local market eight hogs which the
home butcher was too busy to handle
being killed and dressed in local.
packing plant which was under gov
eminent inspection, it being found that
one Of the eight hogs was badly dis
eased. The Incident cited simply goes
to show that the day is not far distant
when a sentiment touching the danger
to public health from contaminated
sources of food supply will be aroused
to the point where 1t will insist on the
careful inspection of these two impor-
tant food products-milk and meat.
And there is no place this gospel needs
preaching more than in the smaller
cities all over the country whose diaries
and slaughter houses have not as yet
been placed under official inspection.
While some states provide for the kill.
ing Of all dairy animals found affected
with tuberculosis, the matter is usual
ly left as a matter of option to indi-
vidual communities, while in none Of
them, SO far as we know, is there pro-
vision for the general inspection Of
beef and pork and scientific examina-
ton Of dairy herds. The day Is near
at hand when there will be county or
district official whose duty it will be td
look after the meat and milk inspec-
ton Of every town in his territory. +

ACRES OF suNrLowERs IN ILLINOIS.

There are number Of farmers in
southern Illinois who have raised a
few acres of sunfowers for two or
three years past. Iowa will see a
farm of this character for the first
time this year. The land devoted to
the culture of the sunfowers consists
of five acres, the seed having been
planted with corn planter, the crop to
be cultivated and tended the same as
If it were corn. The proprietors have
contracted their entire crop to a seed
house for from Site to 50 per hundred.
weight. The seed Is used as stock food
and is fed to parrots. A good oil is
made from the seed, while the stalks
may be used for kindlng.

will pull on an orchard as heavily as

A hopeful sign as Indicative of an
increased interest in practical forestry
is to be found in the planting of large
waste areas in the eastern states, par
ticUlarly Pennsylvania, to forest trees
chestnut, red oak, hickory Eastwood,
white, red and Scotch pine and Euro
pean larch- These lands, from which
the virgin forests have been cut, be-
long largely to coal and railroad COM
panies and are, as rule, too hilly for
the prosecution Of extensive agricul-
tural operations, but the scarcity Of
material for this has suggested the pos
sibility of putting these heretofore
waste and valueless lands to q prac-
teal and definite use. One company,
desiring to take advantage of the as
sistance offered by the forestry bu-
reau Of the department of agriculture.
has applied for an examination of a
$4,000 acre tract with q view to nscer-
tanning the best method Of carrying on
the work Of reforestine.

Nature is an expert mathematician,
showing wonderful ability in problems
Of chance. Ages ago she figured out
that to bring very few baby fry cod
to maturity the mother cod would have
to produce millions Of eggs every sea-
son. In like manner she knew that to
fetch very few seeds of the maple
or elm to fun growth hundreds Of
thousands of the little flyers would
have to be produced by the parent tree.
The foresight we see displayed on all
sides is marvellous, revealing an ever
present, ever active and supreme intel
lgence.

A piece of legislation that bids fair
to be productive Of immense good to
the agricultural and horticultural inter-

winter as an amendment to the Hatch
bill of 1887. This amendment was pro-

consin and provides for assistance to
the state experiment stations to the
amount Of $4,000 for the first year and
$4,000 in addition to this amount until
the limit of $4,000 is reached. The
funds thus made available for the state
experiment work come at very op-

as much in stopping damage and pre-

property as in those activities which
have for their aim the accumulation or

THE CHIEF DANGER TO ORCHARDS.

THE CHIEF DANGER TO ORCHARDS.
Several years experience in caring
for large orchard leads>us to believe
that there is no enemy Of the apple
tree that at all compares with the little
white borer which works in the trunk
at and just below the surface Of the
ground and whose presence is usually,
indicated by the sawdust-like excreta.
The trees should be carefully examined
at intervals during the summer and the
borers dug out with sharp knife.
Where the borer is in its, second year
and cutting it out would necessitate
too large wound for the tree, wire
or plant twig may be inserted and the
pest killed in the tree 1t is we'll in
making the search to scrape the trunk
carefully to an inch and half below
the surface Of the ground, as the hole
out Of which the brown dust is dis
charged sometimes gets covered up.

borer. Keep the borer out of your or
chard, and you will be practically as
sured that it will be thrifty and yigor-

that 1t would prove entirely satisfac-

COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

A departure that gives promise Of
adding greatly to the value and effec-
tiveness of the work now being done at
the state experiment stations and one
that has been much discussed Of late
has in view carrying out Of the prac-
tical work done at the places mentions
ed at the different county farms. In
stead of being compelled to study state
experiments at long range and having
to digest bulletins which are more or
less technical and whose data and f1nd-'
ings are to some extent invalidated
because Of variation In latitude, eli.
mate or soil condition, under the plan
proposed these experiments are to be-
carried out under conditions that are
known and which exist in each locality.
The work to be done at the county stat
tons gives promise Of being especially
valuable along the line of testing the
value Of different kinds of corn, grain
and grasses that are at present grown,
and later the introduction of new vas
rieties, the conducting Of feeding ex-i
periments and the putting to practical
test of the many suggestions thai grow
out Of the state work. The line Of ex-:.
pertinent proposed is to be carried on
under the direction Of the state author
tiles, who will receive the cooperation
of the county board Of supervisors. In
the writer's home county work Of this
kind is to be undertaken, the board
having set aside certain sum for tho
prosecution of the work. This year the
seed corn that has been planted in the
county is to be given a thorough test
and an oracular demonstration given Of
the advantage and disadvantage Of
planting good and poor seed. The plan
outlined would seem to be one that had
in it the possibility Of almost limitless
extension and development and one
fraught with great results for the agri-
cultural interests of the whole country.

thorough test states that fresh eggs
may be very effectually sealed so as to
keep from late summer to spring by
simply placing them in wire basket
