Cholera Epidemic Alarming.

Manila. April Il The cholera sit
uatiun in Manila continues much the
same, but the conditions in the pro-
vinces are becoming alarming The
total of cholera cases in Manila up
to date is 245, while there have been
1872 deaths from the disease. In the
provinces there have been 41S eases
and BIS deaths.
The United States army transport
Grant, while on her way to Samar
Island, put into Legaspi, in southern
LuZOn. having on board a teanstcr
who had the cholera. The Grant
asked for assistance, hut was placed
in quarantine for five days. As her
supply OF water, food and coal were
limited, she decided TO return to Ma
Min. The teamster died of the dis.
ease. Four Americans have been
attacked with cholera in Manila and
ne of them died.

In That Land the inventor Doesn't

Nothing better illustrates the difference

IN the West the inventor is honored and
bis invention is protected by letters pat

attention is bestowed upon those who

ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRETARY
OF AGRICULTURE.
Continued from Page q

Continued from Page %
an importation of select breeding
queens from Italy and smaller impor-
tations from Austria and Cypress.
Very favorable reports of these queens
have been received.
Two additional field agents have
been appointed in the Division of Sta
tistics with a view to further improv-
ing it's crop-reporting service, and the
statistical expert, who for some years
had charge of the crop statistics of
foreign countries competing with the
United States, has now been stationed
in London England, so as to be in
close touch with the statistical officers
of European governments, whose re-
ports, together with authoritative COM
mercial intelligence of interest to
American farmers, he transmits to
Washington by mail or cable.
The Secretary announces that the
work of this division will shortly
form the subject of a special report
to Congress.
Progress in Experiments and Educa-
ton.
The Secretary urges that the num-
Der of workers in the station service
be increased, so as to permit proper
specialization. He believes that station
investigators should be relieved of
teaching, lecturing at Institutes, and
of other duties that, however import
ant distract their attention and hinder
the progress of effective investigation.
He deplores the continual shifting
from one institution to another of the
best workers, owing to the lack of
a sufficient number of well-trained, ex-
perienced men.
Increased Interest in Study OF Agri-
culture.
Statistics of attendance at the land

the matter of crops, how it can be dis
piled to the best advantage. Much has
been done to educate farmers and
ditch managers as to the direction in
which improvement in the method of
practice must come. They have made
plans, have shown the need of better
work in constructing and maintaining
canals, and have shown that the loss
of water through leakage in transit is
far greater than is generally supposed.
The large problems which the COM
plete use of western rivers is destined
to create and the measure of public
control which recent legislation rem
ders inevitable, give added interest to
the Departments studies of the legal
and economic phases of irrigation.
Through the courtesy of government
officials in Egypt, the representative
of the Department was enabled to be-
come fully acquainted with the admin
lstration of laws governing the use OF
the Nile. Allowing for differences in
conditions, the lesson of one of the old
est irrigated countries in the world
can not fail to be of interest and
value to one of the youngest. A num-
Der of the arid states cooperate with
the Department in these studies of
sociological and legal problems.
Agricultural Engineering.
The Secretary enumerates a number
of reasons calling for the systematic
study by the Department of agricul-
tural engineering in it's relation to
the interests of farmers. The devel-
opment of farm machinery, increasing
demand for laborsaving devices, prob
lens relating to the laying out of
farms and buildings, drains, water
supply, the disposal of sewage, and
stable sanitation are all subjects call
ing for study on the part of the Depart
ment to enable it to supply farmers
