The National Experiment Stations


| The Department of Agriculture has Just
published an official bulletin giving the or
ganization of the agricultural experiment
stations of the United States. 1t opens with
an introduction by the late Commissioner Of
Agriculture WHO considers it high tribute to
the intelligence and wisdom of the people
that they have rapidly appreciated the USE
fulness of thus calling the highest science
to the aid of the arts and industries Of life"
by the establishment of these stations Such
insitatiops for scientific investigation in be-
half of agriculture have been long in opera
ton in Europe, The first one in this country
was begun in Connecticut, in the chemi al
laboratory of Wesleyan University fourteen
years ago. Other States followed the exam
pie and. in 1887, Congress espoused the en-
terprise and appropriated sl5 900 per snnum
to each State and Territory for the purpose.
| The enterprise has enlisted in its support the
/ best universities and colleges and the ablest
Investigators of the country, as we'll as
great army of practical farmers, to whom it
has already brough, substantial benefits.
All the States and one Territory, Dakota.
now have agricultural experiment slstions.
Several States have two; Louisiana has three.
The total number now in operation Is forty
six or, counting braGch stations, nearly six
| ty. They employ more than three hundred
and seventy scientists and agricaitarists, and
receive this year S595 900 from this national
government and about Sl25 900 from the
| Statss and other sources. This is one of the
most important Of the government scientific
enter 1rises, and, although so yvuhs, 10 the
largest of the sort yet undertaken by any
nation.
I An especially favorable feature is the cor
dial co operation between the Stations and
the Department of Agriculture at Washing
ton, which is charged by Congress with the
duty of supervising and aiding the Stations
| in their work The central Office of Experiment
Stations. acting with the Association Of
American Agricultural Colleges and Expert
ment Stations, is able to accomplish much in
this line. There is thus established direct
come ctsn between the national Department
and the people of the country which must re-
suit in great good.

A lady from Ithaca, the birth
place of Ex-Gov. Cornell and his
wife, told me recently a good story
appropos of the perils of welded
life, which the Governor told at. his
own expense. 1t seems that when
in Office at Albany he wouId some5
times return home.late at night, and
after his wife had retired, and when
she asked him what time it was
would answer, tsAbout H., or "a
little after midnight One neeyening,
instead of making the inquiry, she
said: f.Alonzos 1 wish you would
stop that clock; cannot sleep for
its noise, = All unsuspicious he
stopped the pendulum. In the
morning, while dressing, Mrs Cor
nell inquired artlessly: 20, by the
way, what time did you get homeg"
"Abont midnight, replied the Gov
ernor. '.Alohzo look at that eloekI''
