Referring the Farmers Market.

The farmers Of the United States
are likely to have an increased mar
ket for their productions at an early
date. The reciprocity features OF the
Dingley bill are expected to open a
good many markets which are now
closed to our agricultural products.
In addition to this, it is expected to
give to the United States such special
advantages over other countries in
certain markets as to give our farm
ers practically monopoly of the
trade in those parts OF the world
The average expectation Of farm pro-
ducts during the past five years has
been 621 millions per annum, OF which
amount 343 million, or nearly 81 per
cent, has gone to Great Britain, all
other parts Of the world taking but
43 per cent Of our exports. This
shows the possibilities open to the
farmers in the matter of making FOL
themselves as good market in othel
parts Of the world as they already
have in Great Britain.

Useful Intelligence.

The enactment in Michigan not long
ago of law providing for teaching in
the public schools the modes by which
the dangerous communicable diseases
are spread and the best methods for
the restriction and prevention of such
diseases" has attracted the interested
attention of all sanitsts and intelligent
folk generally. II does not need a
savant to decide now that the germ the
ory Of disease is established, that its
full benefit can be secured only through
wide dissemination Of our new ltnowl-
edge. Prof. Fall, of the Michigan state
board of health, is of the opinion that
the public school is one of the best
means to scatter this saving lore. He
thinks children should be taught the
germ theory and something of the man
ner by which Investigations are carried
on. They can learn the name of bacillus
tuberculosis as well as they can that OF
plant or root, and learn, too, that in
proper soil a crop Of consumption is
Just us sure to be had from the sowing
of consumption germs as a crop OF peas
or pumpkins follows from the sowing
of the proper seeds.
