a chain letter scheme was lately sent

1T is ENDORSED.
Agricultural Education of
First Value.
What Has Been Done Here Recent
ledge May Be Put.

The following from the Tropical
Agriculturalist, an Australian publica-
ton, is a strong endorsement of the
organization recently here of the Gen
Armstrong Industrial and the plan OF
the Government school authorities to
extend the scope Of industrial and agri-
cultural teaching and training:
Briefly stated, the object of agricul-
tural education is to teach the most
enlightened methods in the cultivation
of the soil, so that the cultivator may
secure the best results while the fer
tility of his land is maintained. AS
the wealth of a nation depends upon
the agriculture OF the country, it is but
fitting that agricultural education
should receive Government aid in as
large a measure as any other depart
ment of education. At the same time
agricultural eduaction should be made
as attractive as possible to all, for
there are few persons, particularly in
the Colonies, that have not a direct or
indirect interest in the soil 1t is
mistake to imagine, as some do, that
the results Of agricultural teaching can
be gagged by the number of scholars
who after their training at school cul-
tivate their own lands. If this test
were applied to agricultural colleges
abroad, it will be found that the majo-
rity of those who are taught at these
schools are by no means intended to
be farmers. The more the individuals
of a cOmmunity-nO matter in what
capacity they are serving, whether as
professional men, Government ser
wants, or in private employ-know of
agriculture, of the soil and the plant
/ IN all their bearings, the better for the
community and the country to which
they belong. We do not think of linn
iting the literary education of a boy
because he may not intend to be lite
rary man, or what is popularity called
his scientific eduaction," because he
has not made up his mind to be
worker in science. The object of edu-
cation in its widest sense is to expand
the mind and enable men to think and
act under the various circumstances
in winch ,hey may be placed. It is but
meet that we should make themselves
acquainted with our natural surround
ings-the soil, the air, plants and ami
mails, and the various relations in
which they stand to one another. IN
fortunately there are some people who
are proud to own their ignorance OF
these matters. and others who imagine
or pretend that they know all about
them, and in fact their ignorance is
prodigious.
In this country we should greatly
desire to see all minor native officials
possessed of an up-to-date knowledge
of agriculture, such as will equip as
we'll as actuate them to take an active,
intelligent, and honest interest in the
welfare Of their more ignorant and con-
sentative brethren who are engaged in
agricultural operations.

is AFTER A BUG.
A Agricultural Bureau and
Japanese Beetle.
More of the insects Are Wanted
Only a Few Received How to
Make Delivery.

The fungus for destroying the Jap
anese beetles propOgates more readily
during the rainy season, in the dry
districts, for it requires a certain
amount Of moisture in the atmos-
phere to develop. With the advent Of
the rainy season it is desired to dis
tribute the fungus as widely as pos
Slble. Frequent requests have been
made through the city papers for
beetles; but few persons respond, and
with very limited numbers of the in
sects. We would like to receive them
by the thousands, but with enc or two
exceptions have received them only
IN small numbers. In the case of the
larger quantities the Sarcophaga flies
had deposited their egs upon them,
and in the course of a few days, in
stead OF having developed the fungus
there were great quantities of small
maggots, the larvae of these flies,
which eat up the beetles, thus requir-
ing the work to be done over again
with fresh stock. Parties collecting
beetles to be inoculated should put
them into an old fruit jar and put the
cover on closely to prevent the fly
from depositing it's eggs on them; and
unless this little fellow is actually
proving itself parastical in habit, the
beetles brought to this department for
innnDnlatjnn vii turn
suits. If, however, this fly proves to
be parasitical by depositing its eggs
on the live beetles while at liberty in
the open garden, we will have here an
ally even better than the fungus. This
is by no means settled fact and like
ly is too good to prove true. Professor
koebele says Of this fly in his last re-
port: 1T is a well known fact that
these flies are not parasitic, strictly
speaking, and the young maggots are
likely left upon the dead beetles only"
From the experience we are having
with the Japanese beetles, we should
use great caution against importing
others Of it's kindred, from other coun-
tries, and the Bureau of Agriculture
has passed a rule prohibiting the i'm
portation of soil, which will be strict
ly enforced after November 1st, 1898.
Any plants with soil on their roots
will not be allowed to enter the island
ports; for the danger of thus receiving
the larvae of the May beetle is very
great. This is Identical in its habits
with the Japanese variety, only it is
much larger and has a much more
voracious appetite; and not only in
the beetle stage would it be a great
pest, in this mild climate, but also in
the larvae stage, equally destructive
to the young roots Of plants and
grasses. All persons ordering plants
from abroad should instruct the ship
pers to pack in moss, and by no means
to send any soil.

TRUST FIGHT.
Battle WaginG Between Sugar and
Coffee Factors.

The New York market is beginning
two new sugar refneriies, known as
the "Arbuckle" and the ''Doscher,"
which are said to have been erected
to combat the monopoly of the Ameri-
latter, however, has a large reserve
fund, said TO be thirty millions of dol
lars with which it will enter the con-
test, if compelled to do so to retain
its place. Authority was given by the
shareholders, at the last annual meet
ing, to use this fund, as the directors
might deem best, and if they cannot
buy out their new rivals, they may be
able to control them in some other
way. The Trust has held its own for
the past ten years, and may still be
able to do it, but it Will only surren-
der after a desperate struggle. The
Arbuckles have long been in the coffee
business, supplying a large portion Of
the American trade, with both ground
and unground coffee, in which bust
ness they have amassed large for
tune. They originated the system of
putting up ground coffee in patent pa
per bags of two, five, ten and twenty
pounds each, which have proved i'm
mensely popular with the retail trade.
Their sugars will be put up in the
same manner, and will doubtless be-
come as popular with the trade. OF
course, all who are interested in sugar
and coffee, will watch the the progress
of these millionaire titans in their
efforts to reduce the price Of these ar
ticIes and to control the immense mar
ket of the whole North American Con-
tinent, embracing not less than eighty
millions of people, all of whom use
one or both as articles of food, and
are always glad to see a reduction in
the retail price of either.
