CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 



289 



Some years ago the War Department of the United States Govern- 

 ment caused some practical tests to be made by having meats packed 

 with Turk's Island and Syracuse solar salt. The meats were afterward 

 sent to the diflerent forts on the sea-coast, on the Gulf of Mexico, and 

 in the interior. 



The result of the experiment demonstrated the fact that the Syracuse 

 solar salt is equal in every respect for packing purposes to the imported 

 Turk's Island sea salt, and since that time the United States Govern- 

 ment has required that beef and pork packed for the Army and Navy 

 Khali be packed with Turk's Island or Syracuse solar salt. 



American packers fully appreciate the importance of good salt, and 

 are very careful in securing the best brands. 



The following analj'ses of American and European salts show that 

 the salts used in this couutrj' compare very favorably with those of 

 Europe :
