TEACHERS IN BAVARIA.
Instructors in Scientific Agriculture
Give Advice to Farmers.

Consul Bardel, writing from Bamberg,
Germany, says that In order to promote
agricultural interests the kingdom of Ba-
varia has established agricultural schools in
thirty-one towns These schools are in
charge of teachers who. in addition to an
academical education, must be generally
efficient in botany. geology. chemistry,
physics, zoology and natural history. The
consul says:
"At a time when nothing is doing in the
fields, from November to March, these
schools are open, and peasant farmers for
nominal fee can attend courses on cultiva-
ton and fertilization Of the soil, the proper
succession Of crops on the same land. tho
best sources for good seeds, irrigation and
the raising of stock. They are made ac-
auainted with improvements and new inven-
tions In agricultural implements the adop-
ton of which can be recommended. They
are taught the rudiments of bookkeeping
and other knowledge essential Tor the up
to-date farmer.
"In the spring. after these farmers have
returned to their work in the fields, 1t be-
comes the duty of the teachers who In
structed them during the winter to travel
from county to county and act as advisors
to the farmers. Much good results from the
travels of these wandering teachers. By
practical suggestions to the farmers they
induce them to make valuable improve
ments in the cultivation of their farms.
1.-THE wandering teacher helps to form CO.
operative clubs for the joint interests Of a
number of farmers In one district. From
time to time the teacher has to lecture in
these clubs on any subject practical or
scientific, which might prove Of interest to
the members. These visits and lectures to
the different districts are entirely free to
the people, since the state assumes all ex-
penses There is probably no other country
in the world in which SO much is done by
the state for its rural Inhabitants as in the
case of Bavaria. Other German states have
these agricultural schools, but their teach
ers are not sent In such a practical way di'
rect to the places where they can do the
most good as is done here. The results OF
this commendable care have been very
gratifying"

M A N CHURIA OPT En-
PROBABLE OUTCOME OF CLOSE OF
THE WAR.

PEKING, September 4.-Commercial men
of north China hope and believe that COM
plete opening of southern Manchuria to for
elgn trade will be incident to the new status
of the territory now occupied by the Japa-
nese troops. Japanese colonization in Korea
has been repeated in Manchuria on a large
scale. Japanese civilians have been permit
ted to enter the country freely, and Antung,
Feng Wang, Cheng, Mukden, Dalny- and
New Chwang have become populous Japa-
nese cities.
New Chwang. where before the war there
were about 100 Japanese and a year ago
1000, now has COCO, and the number is con-
tinually increasing by the arrival daily of
from 80 to 100 immigrants.
The Japanese army department Is operat-
ing a light railway between Antung and
Feng Wang Cheng, and those places in the
early summer had a population of more
than 5000 Japanese each, and they are still
growing.
Representatives of many large japanese
firms engaged in various sorts of enter
prises have been investigating the possibili-
ties of the country and are impressed by its
wealth. 1t remains, however to be seen
how large a proportion of the Japanese
population will take up a permanent resi-
Gence there A majority of those there now
were, of course, engaged in supplying the
army, but some of the large firms and many
of the smaller traders propose to remain
and exploit the country if it proves profit
able
The Seoul and Wiju railway will be ex-
tended via Feng Wang Cheng to form a
junction with the Manchuran railway at
Lao Yang in the near future.
The possession of the Manchurian railway
gives the Japanese the right to settle all the
towns along the line with their own people,
and other nationalities will likely desire the
same privileges Of the open door.

they overran the place. On every side could
be seen a phalanx of the sable warriors
vending their way on foraging expeditions.
For the black ants are soldiers, every one
of them, and when II comes to living on the
country they have no equal, even In the
Japanese ranks.
Prayer sticks from Chinese joss houses. in
cense from drug stores. even the punk
priced by small boys, were pressed into
service. Traps baited with condensed milk
were set for the invaders, and all kinds of
insect destroyers were employed. Yet still
they came and there is talk of hurry call
to the board of health to rid the city of the
unexplained visitation.
