FRIEND OR FOE.

INC aaVlsability of having aoric1Itnro
lau8ht IN our common schooIs tLn' ~
at least one subject closely connootoJ t %
with soil tiilage which seems uovoo nn W.
denlaDly proper subject for stndv ~" IL

sults or not, male us we'll as femolo
shoulu posscss some knowledge in
regard 10 what common animals mc
friends and what are foes of mankind
There are many animala against which
the majority of persons have a more
or less settled prejudice nd which are
decidedly useful to man, such as the
toad, the snake, the skunk, the COW.
the owl, halk, etc. Then there are
others, like the quail and many of our
smaller birds which are not less useful,
but allowed to be hunted down,
manned or killed for sport, We also
have large number of insects that arc
decidedly beneficial by feeding on in
furious insects and Keeping them in
check. The writer will remembers
now greatly he was interested in his
lessons i'll natural history taught him
quite reasonable to suppose that similar
lessons might be made most interest
ing to the children in our common
schools. 1t would be all the more m
structlve, all the more interesting. if
such instruction should be aided bv
means of wooden or papier mache
models, or of good pictures. People
should learn to distinguish between
friend and foe, and the common school
is the place to begin. Let us hope that
the agricultural press will second this
motion, and keep urging the matter un-
til our school authorities will take 1t
up. In New York State, the sub iect
OF alcohol and Of the pernicious effect
of Intoxicating beverages, is inade a

SPECIAL reference to the question

Attempts to produce all oxygen
water have proven unsuccessful, ac-
cording to DIR. Wcnder, because oxy-
gen alone does not impart an agreca-
bic taste. Using both oxygen and
ca1bonic acid, a Berlin establishment
has now produced compound water
that not only has pleasant acid taste
but is given high therapeutic value
by the oxygen. 1t is prepared by inn
pregnating the water first with carbonic
acid at 4 atmospheres, then with oxy-
gen up to s atmosphcres, and drawing
off at atnfospheses. The product is
clear and refreshing. The cost of OK
ygenating Is but a fraction of a cent
pei 100 bottles, and the oxygen is OBJ
tanned in compressed state in steel
bottles, like carbonic acid.
Electric heat is produced by passing
the current through some resisting
material that is not readily melted or
dccomposcd. a new resistance devils
cd by M. Parville, consists of 60 parts
OF nickel powdered and do parts of
white clay, the mixture, which con-
tains not more than per cent. of
water, being btought to the desired
form by pressure of 800 pounds per
square inch. TO reduce the resistance
at the contact points, these have the
proportion of sc per cent. of nickel
powder and 10 of clay. The great
solidity Of the new compound is an
important ADVANTAGE.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS IN
HAWAII AND PORTO RICO.

IN tho act making appropriations for
~ .he U. >. department Of agriculture for
'ne present fiscal year Congress pro-
vioea tor the inauguration of expert
a"ent stations in the islands of Hawaii
una una l'orto Rico. In accordance with
.h,s provision, the department has
thn 'h h,pt ,ppttoiimlnary steps TO determine
rnso osS pan OF operations in each
case and the subjects which orc in most
hced of immediate attention Tho
o,,nn mUlm mas m boon placed III charge of the
F,IIo c" -, experiment stations, and the
mo "S ,",,;S Information in relation to
tno ac!loh taken by that office is from
NO. |, soon TO be issued.
Prof. 5. a. Knapp, of Louisiana hos
peen Selectcd TO investigate the apricuI-
tural conditions and possibilities Of
Porto Rico, and went to the island "
June. lie will study the existing ou.
rcultural conditions, tho lines Of OK
perlmental investigation which should
be undertaken there, locations suitable
for stations, and the approximate ex-
pcnse of inaugurating and maintaining
the work He will also look into the
feasibility of undertaking cooperative
experiments with the residents of Porto
Rico and the best means of reaching
the people through publications., de-
monstration experiments, and other
wise.
DIR. w. G.. Stubbs, director of the
Louisiana experiment stations, will
make the preliminary survey of the
conditions in the Hawaiian Islands.
He sailed for Hawaii about the middle
of July and will spend the month of
August in the islands. The conditions
! there differ from those in Porto Rico,
as station for experiments in sugar
| production has been maintained by
private bcneticencc for number of
years. The lines in which investi-
CATION Is most needed, the possibility of
greater divcrsilication of agriculture,
the expense Of the work, and the
means Of disseminating Information
will be carefully inquired into. This
will probably prove a profitable field
for Investigations on the use and
economy of water in irrigation, since,
according to reliable reports, IN no
other place is so much money cxpend-
ed for pumping water for irrigation
Some pumps are said to be raising 80, :
100000 gallons Of water per day from
Il depth of 500 feet, and the expense
of irrigation in some cases reaches rs
| high as Sl25 Der acre annually

THRIFT VS.. STlFr.--Thc trend of
dcvelopmcnt--how the farmer and the
hortlculturist follow the iumbclman
and the turpentinc man may be seen
along any of-the railroads in the piue
belt OF Georgia. Attractive and pro.
ductivc farms, orchards, vineyards and
gardens now occupy spaces that were
formerly wild woods, and from time
TO time one sees Il herd of fine cattle
where formerly only 'scrubsn OF the
pine barrens were to be found. AS
noticeable, too, has been the change i'm
the character OF The ma ajority Of popu-
latlon Of such sections. Formerly they
were pcoplcd principally by rough
nomaiic, Shiltlcss and often criminal
negroes, who worked about the saw
mills or upon the turpentnc farms.
Where the farms and the orchards
have sprung up this element has
practically disappeared, and IN its place
has come class Of intelligent and
thrifty farmers, who are homc-buildcrs
and most desirable citizens. --Suruunh

The Queensland sugar JomnaI of
March Is, says:
owing to representations from var
ious sugar districts and from persons
Interested in the sugar industry, the
Queensland Minister for Agriculture
has approached the Hon. r. Philip and
his colleagues with a view to the en-
gagement of DR.. Maxwell, the sugar
expert of Honolulu, for employment IN
this colony. AS result the premier
has written asking DR.. Maxwell if he
Will transfer his services to Queens
land"
DR.. Maxwell was seen this morning
regarding the foregoing, which states
that overtures for his services had
been made by the Queensland govern
ment and asked if he had accepted the
offer, 1t being stated on the street that
he had.
Yes" answered DIR. Maxwell, "it is
correct that the Queensland govern
ment made proposals to me, and that I
have accepted and shall go to the colony
in course of some months
THE specific nature of my work -
continued DR.. Maxwell, in answer 20
another question, will be to establish
experimental stations in the interest of
the sugar industry In Queensland,
which at present is at low ebb. The
! government adopted my recommends
tion to establish three experimental
stations in three different districts. NY
office will be the director in chief of all
the stations with assistant director and
! staff at each one. Also, I am to act as
| agricultural adviser in general to the
cabinet of the government of Queens
! land.
81 have really nothing more to say
about this matter for I assure you
that my thoughts are chiefly occupied
with the work and responsibilities in
prospect.
Concerning leaving Hawaii, 1 need
hardly tell you that I have some very
strong reasons for regret. / have thor
oughly enjoyed the work that I have
had to pursue, the results of which
must leave others to judge of. But yoJ
may be quite sure that Hawaifs inter
ests and prosperity are a subject thai
will be always very close to me-"
DIR. Maxwells work here began In
1S94-95. At that time the yield per acre
of sugar was 6,742 pounds. Last year
or four years later, the yield per acre
was 9,37S pounds. 1t would appear
from these figures that the increase IL
the yield of sugar and the increase II
the profits of the plantations is not due
to the increase in acreage so much a!
to the increase of production, AZ
brought about by the efforts of DR.
