ante-mortem inspections, besides covering all the subsequent 
work of post-mortem inspection, tagging, stamping, etc. The cost 
of inspection has been growing gradually less year by year. The 
average cost per head was 4^ cents in 1893, 1^ cents in 1894, 
1.1 cents in 1895, 0.95 cent in 1896 and 0.91 cent in 1897.” The 
number of pounds of microscopically inspected pork sent to 
countries requiring inspection was 120,110,356, against only 42,- 
570,572 the previous year ; and this was supplemented by 161,- 
303 pounds for other countries. Again, there were 859,346 in¬ 
spections of American cattle for export, besides some Canadian, 
and 418,694 were tagged, with 1438 rejected, while the actual 
number of cattle exported was 400,512. Of sheep there were 
297,71:9 inspections, 180 rejections, and 147,907 actual exports. 
There were also inspections of 177,772 cattle and 64,207 sheep 
imported from Mexico. These figures show to what an extent 
the work of inspecting meats and meat products has already 
been carried. It will continue to increase as the industry of 
stock raising, both for home and foreign consumption, grows.
