would call the attention of the elvlll ed world
tit Amurlciiti corn and Its uses and losult In u

The tioub u bus boon , iul Is now , that the
Kuroponn1 * ciinnol concolvu how ono could eat

only. Huskies the enormous advertisement
It would t'lvn our domestic corn , and also
KtaU'HsnupIylnp U , thorn would he tin act of
charity In It which would bo u gratification to

"It la believed that the corn would bo trans

Mould bu w sdom todlvurt u portion of It from

oand. In the legal battle which followed ,
Nellie's lawyers won a victory and she w.is
given a decree and her husband ordered to
contribute a liberal amount of ali

that Nellie's dlvorco and alimony was secured -

and Twenty-sixth street Just after ho had
ended his duties here and ho spoke in tlio
highest terms of the work done by the gov
ernment inspectors of South Omaha. Ilo
said :
"I urn pleased to see the work of the ml-
crosccpbts and other persons looking after
the inspection of pork here for the United
States government going along so oflcct-
ually , harmoniously nnd creditably. The
work done hero compares favorably with
that of any place in the country where in
spection is carried on. I have been looking
ever the work in Chicago for two months ,
but I find that the Inspection at South
Omaha Is carried on every ult as thoroughly
nnd effectually us in Chicago.
"Tho L'overninont inspection of hog meat is
confined"only to carcasses intended for ex
portation. An ante-mortem as well as post
mortem examination is made , the hog being
inspected us it passes ou thu hoof into tha
chuto. After the animal is slaughtered n
small piece of meat Is taken from two
different parts of the carcass and put into a
small tin box. liolh the carcass and box are
numbered tbo sumo. Thcso boxes are tukuii
to the inspectors , where the specimens uro
submitted to the closest microscopic scrutiny.
As you sen the assistants here are mainly
ladies , who are specially trained for this
work. "
At this juncture a bit of pork having
trleblmu In It was produced and a small Ilia-
mout of llcsh about the nlzo of a hair
taken out. This llborwtis pressed between
two bil.s of glass until It was flattened. It
WII.H then nut under n microscono magnifying
scvunty-llvu diameters and an Invitation was
extended to look through the instrument.
Peering through the glassus nt u portion of
tbo meat that could bu covered with a pin
head were discovered wh'it appeared to bo
.seven celled serpents insldo of a transpaient
sac.
Only Waiting.
"Thoso are the trichina- , " said the doctor.
"They have finished their career In the hog
and have become vested in this sac. Hut
they uro only waiting until soiuu man or
other animal oats thu incut uucookcd and
they got Into the stomach of the saiuo and
then play havoc. They multiply at an alarin-
ir.g rato. They then sot to work to bora
right through the Hush until thuy roach the
point where they conclude to Invott thorn-
solves and go Into a torpid state again. If
you can stund tbo ( rightful strain of millions
of these worms boring through every Hbor of
your muscle * you will llvo , but the great
mass of humanity cannot stand it and in con-
soiuonce | die.
"I Know of a Cicrman family In Wisconsin
that made somosausacu from this Infoctou
pork and invited In a nutnoor at friends to
cut the inc.it ! n an uncooked state. AH a re
sult every member of the family was htor-
ally uatun up iilivo , and all but thu head of
thu hnusouold died. Ho had an nxtraordl-
nary constitution and survived. The visitors
wuio equally unfortunate.

not know , as the government was concerned
only in .seeing that no pork infected was ex
ported from the country. In horror ono
gentleman exclaimed : 'Is it possible that
wo are e.Uing the rejected porn that is
loaded with those worrnsl' I replied : T
presume so. I have eaten millions of thcso
trichinn' and like them lirst rato. Tlioy are
very nice and very harmless when thorough
ly cooked. ' Of couno the crowd saw the
point and laughed good humorcdly.

"But that is the whole thing In a nutshell.
As long as the infected pork is cooked it is
us harmless as on apple. But bo sure to cook
it. Water when It roaches the bollini ; point
kills those worms. So the mout does not
have to bo cooked to death.
"Tho main object of Secretary Uusk in
getting up this insnoctlon law Is to remove
all pork with trichina- it from our exports
of meat , because of the prejudice against It In
foreign countries. Since Mr. Uusk secured
the passage of this law and an appropriation
for It , Germany , Franco , Italy in fact flvo
European nations huvo opened their ports
for our pork. This means n great deal to
the farmers engaged In raising hogs in this
country.
"Thcro are only llvo places in the United
States from which pork can bo exported and
these are Omaha , Chicago , Boston , Mil
waukee and Kansas City. There are several
big establishments anxious to secure inspec
tion so that they may export meat , but they
cannot. The appropriation will not permit
it. I have soor. Gorman ugonls stand in the
packing houses at Chicago ui < xlous to export
some choice spoclmons of swine , but because
there was no government lns | jction of hogs
m these packing houses , the req.uo.sts had to
bo domed.
"Tho mdat inspected here shows up wojl in
comparison with the moats from the other
cities whore pork is inspected by the govern
ment.
"Through the efforts of Secretary Uusk
pleuro-pnoumonia in cattle has been literally
stamped out in this country. Ho caused all
cattle so infoctoa to bo slaughtered , and even
the pens burned , but it has attained the ob
ject. Our cattle are free from tUo plague
and the world over are received as mofU.
There are thrco ports in England where
"
our cattle are received. "Even after
the plouro-pnoumonla was stamped out
the English inspectors nt Liverpool
and the other two uorts insisted that cattle
with that disease were being brought to
these ports Secretary Huslr , with the per
mission of the English authorities , sent thrco
oxporlenced veterinarians to uach of these
thruo ports and these exports forced the
English inspectors to acknowledge that the
cases were only catarrhal pneumonia , which
docs not aftoct tlio moat.
"By the way , tha reporter for TIIK BIE :
who interviewed mo in the hotel nt Omaha
on Tuesday made mo say that the percentage
of infected pork is live-sixths of 1 per cent.
Please correct this , us this percentage is not
universal. It refers to ouly a small lot of

tation to live stock shippers Is to uo abolished

It has boon customary for several yours to
allow emi man for uvory three carloads of

lowed only to Chicago. J'ho shippers are
