Farmers Bulletin, No. l..

We have received the first number
of the above publication, from the
department of agriculture 1t is
devoted to the "what and why of the
agricultural experiment stations"
giving a brief account of what they
are, what they are doing, how they
do it, and also II history of the work
in this line in Europe. No other
country in the world has undertaken
experiment work ON such grand
scale as this country has. 1t costs
over $720, 600 year, and employs
more than $40 scientific men. In a
great many cases, it is asserted, a
single line of investigation pursued
has saved more money to the farmers
of the State than the entire cost of
of maintaining the station, and the
work is having marked effect upon
farmers, inducing them to apply the
results of scientific research. In
Connecticut the reduction in price
of fertilizers since the State station
began analy zing them, has been
greater than the entire cost of main
tanning the station. The total ex.
pense of all the stations is less than
10 cents for each of the 100000
farm workers of the country, less
than % cents for each of the 80, OOO,-
600 of our people directly dependent
upon agriculture for support, and
less than 4 cents per capita of the
total population The total capital
invested in agriculture, in this coun-
try, is estimated at twelve billions
of dollars, SO that the experiment
stations cost us about 1925 year
for every million dollars invested
The value of our annual agricultural
products is about 50, 200,000,000, so
that we are spending about 33a cents
for every $1,000 worth of products,
in attempts to increase their value
The first experiment station in
this country was organized at Mid
dletown, Conn, in the Wesleyan
University, in 1875. In 1887 there
were II stations in IA States. Con-
gress made the enterprise national
in 1887, by appropliating $4,000
per annum to each State and terri
tory that has an agricultural college
or its equivalent. To-day there are
46 stations, and counting branches,
|57 stations in this country. AS an
evidence of the fact that these sta
lions pay, this bulletin says that no
station has ever been abandoned,
but on the contrary, the appropria-
tions for their maintenance have
annually increased, showing that
they are more appreciated as their
work is better understood

A wife once retired for the night,
worn out and petulant because of
her many cares, and her husband
absence when she thought he might
have been at her side. After time
he came home, sat down to his desk
and worked long and hard at his ac-
counts, while she lay looking at him,
and feeling angry that he seemed
wholly unmindful of her. When he
had laid away slate and books she
saw him unlock drawer, and take
from IL picture. which he fingered
lovingly over, tenderiy kissed, and
then replaced. Her woman's curios.
lty was aroused, and she determined
to know more of the matter. So.
while he was getting ready for bed,
she fcigned sleep He soon slept
soundly. and then she crept from
her place, like a thief in the night,
took the keys, unlocked the drawer,
and found that her husband had been
kissing a picture of herself, which
was taken when they were first mar
ried. Then she was chagrined and
mortified because she had not been
more loving wife, and went back
to bed with new resolutions formed.
In the morning she put on a wrapper
that was very becoming, collar and
bow, and carefully brushed her hair.
When her husband came in to break
fast he looked at her, caught her in
his arms and kissed her. Then he
asked the children if the little moth
er didn't look pretty She was wise
enough not to forget the lesson.
