Scientific Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson believes that not
enough attention Is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges Of to-day,
and he has taken up the agitation Of
this matter as hobby. Wherever he
makes a speech he tells his hearers that
his department utilizes the services of
every young man it can find who has
had thorough training in some branch
of scientific agriculture. There is n
great demand for this kind of service,
and the department has the utmost diff
ficulty in holding on to It's experts be-
cause Of the growing outside calls that
are being made on them. There are
about two thousand people in the De-
partment of Agriculture who are en-
gagged on scientific agricultural work,
yet hardly one of them came into the
government service fully equipped. Sec
retary Wilson calls attention to this
fact to emphasize his statement that
the colleges should give more thought
and attention to the development of
agricultural sciences. There are some
fifty agricultural colleges in the coun.
try calling for comtetent teachers, and
some sixty or sevdhty agricultural ex.
pertinent stations, where there Is al.
ways an opening for trained scientist.
There is money in becoming an agricul.
tural expert, and Secretary Wilson
thinks that our young men would dc
well to choose such profession rather
than the overcrowded fields of law and
medicine.-BroOklyn Eagle.

Coloring Preparations.

The number of artificial coloring
matters prepared since Perkins dis
covery nearly fifty years ago of the
preparation of aniline dyes from coal
tar has been enormous. 1t is estimated
that at the present day over 3.OOO.OOO
different individual dyestuffs are easily
accessible to our industries, while at
least 25,O0O form the subject Of patent
specifications. The number of color
ing matters furnished by natural agen.
cies is comparatively small, and those
who do not exist threaten soon to be
ignored in favor of coal-tar derivatives.

One great corporation will be formed,
