AGRICULTURE AND THE FARMERS INsrI-
TUTE.
Agriculture stands first among the indus
tries Of man. 1t outranks all others in
value of product and Importance to our
national welfare. A prosperous agriculture
is the foundation Of prosperous country.
When our farms produce abundantly, and
good, paying markets are afforded, COM
neree is increased, transportation facilities
are multiplied and the factory, loom and
workshop brought into requisition; the
people are employed at paying wages, and
none need suffer hunger.
Whatever, therefore, contributes to the
improvement of this industry is benefit
so all others, and whatever tends to cripple
IL is injurious to them also. To help this
industry is the mission Of the Farmers
Institute. Is is educative.
II stands for more intelligent farming,
larger crops, better stock, the production
Of more protein crops, with abundance Of
summer forage and winter silage; more
high-grade cattle, horses, sheep, hogs and
poultry; better fruits; better system Of
marketing; better homes and better people;
better schools, and the teaching Of the
principles and laws of production, as well
as the rules and methods of business.
It seeks to deyelop greater and more
intelligent interest in the wide range Of
agricultural work; to make it more attrac-
tiye and profitable; to make the farm home
what il should be-the most desirable place
TO live for the rearing Of family, or the re-
tirement of declining years.
SPEAKERS FOR THE FARMERS INSTITUTE IN
NEW JERSEY FOR THE SEASON
BEGINNING NOV. IL, 1906.
Prof. R. L. Watts, Scalp Leyel, Pa, is q
farmer and professor Of horticulture. With
his scientific knowledge be associates the
practical experience Of bis farm work, in
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-11-08

But il q coDsumptive has no regard for
family or society IN this matter, be should
know that. self-preseryat;on should prompt
him TO it. He may reinfect himself One
lung may be affected and be on the road to
recovery. If he is careless in disposiDg Of
his sputa be may inhale into the other lung
some Of the germs be has cast out, and thus
start the disease anew.
It is almost inconceiyable that anyone
who has had this matter fully explained to
him would neglect any precautions 70 pro-
tect his family or friends
The trouble has often been that the
physician has failed to warn or instruct bis
patient He shrinks from pronouncing this
dreaded word ord-consumption.
When the disease was considered as
practically incurable it was like pronnnc-
ing the death sentence. And when the
theory Of heredity held sway, it was
thought to be disgrace to have consump-
tion in the family. Italso interferred with
marriage and life insurance; and it does
vet to an unjustifable extent.
But we no longer believe these things
Consumption is not Inherited. The dis
ease in it's early stages is curable.
1t is practically impossible to effect
cure unless the patient knows what is the
matter with him.
Il is wholly impossible to protect those
about him unless be fully understands the
precautions he must constantly observe.
This brings up the question OF reporting
cases of tuberculosis TO the health author
tiles. 1t is required and enforced IN New
York City. 1t is required but not enforced
in many others.
A considerable number of the medical
profession still oppose it, but they oppose
4 it only because they believe that their pa
tients and their families are against it. The
! campaign Of the health department. OF New
York City against tuberculosis has been
followed by marked reduction in the
deaths from this.disease. There is no med
dlesome interference on their part There
is no thought Of restricting the patient in
any way. They examine sputum, they
disinfect houses, they give useful instruc-
{ tions in many ways, but only when re-
quested by the attending physicians.
It is hard to say how reporting cases Of
tuberculosis can do any real harm; it may
do much good, and such a practice should
be supported by the public.
The consumptive owes it to society, he
owes it to his family, and he owes it to
himself to take every possible precautlon
to prevent the communication of his disease
to others.
1t, is the duty of physicians and Of the
health authorities, and it will be the effort
Of the New Jersey Society for the Proven
tion of tuberculosis to point out how such
precautions may be taken. II the con-
sumptive, properly instructed, is still un-
willing TO do his duty in the matter land
these precautionary measures are extremely
simple and easily followed1 he must ex-
pect a growing prejudice against him which
may financially lead to she endorsements OF
unnecessarily harsh measures to control
him as the main factor in the propagation
and spread of this universally dreaded dis
ease.

the relief and prevention of tuberculosis
