trade in agricultural products is shown
to be over two-thirds of our domestic ex-

production of field products introduced

Nature Tenehing Do sehooIs.

The secretary enlarges upon the need of
nature teaching in the common schools.
He says that there is a growing interest in
education that relates to production. and
all classes of intelligent people favor 1t.
More knowledge by the farmer of what he
deals with every day would enable him to
control conditions, produce more from an
acre and contribute more to the general
welfare.
With the exception of the very few per-
sons who have found their way into our
agricultural colleges the education of our
people has not been designed to prepare
them for producing from the soil Nothing
is being done in most of the common
schools of the states TO cultivate a taste
and lead the mind to inquire into and store
up facts regarding nature, so that the
young farmer may be directed into the path
that leads to education concerning his flu
ture life work The teacher should be ed
ucated for this work

Exporting Dairy Products.

On the practicability of exporting dairy
products the secretary says that. owing
to better home demand, it is not CONNER
cially profitable TO send butter to Europe
Just now, as the home demand at present
absorbs the supply. Whenever our home
supply of finest butter exceeds the home
demand. the secretary says. it can be profit
ably sent to both France and Germany.
The American farmer is now selling cheap
grains and mill feeds TO the European
dairymen, who meet us in European mar
kets with products made from raw mate
rial furnished by US But there is reason
TO believe that there is growing tendency
toward the consumption of grains and mill
feeds at home and exporting the products
OF skill and intelligence. The trade in
American farm products is growing in the
China seas, and, in order that markets
may be opened up in Japan, China aid 9TH
err countries of the Pacific ocean, an agent
is now in that region establishing agencies.
Inspection for Exports.
The secretary recommends the extension
and adoption of the provisions of the law
regarding the inspection and certification
of meats and meat products for export. so
as to make them apply to butter and cheese.
The brands pure butter and "full cream
cheese should then be affixed by United
States inspectors TO such products as come
up to the required standard of quality.
This would place the good butter and
cheese of this country in foreign markets
under the identifying label and guaranty
of the United States government.
