Take Salt After Your Dinner

A Coustantinople paper prints
extracts from an ancient Turk
ish volume recently discovered,
which deals with the table man
ners of by-go. centuries
Many of the directions still
serve for modern western2na-
tons. Here are some of the
precepts:
ITO sit down to dinner alone
is to be avoided; the prophet
always dined in company
Food should be conveyed to
the mouth with the right hand.
Before and after a meal
swallow a little salt"
"Eat not the bread with the
knife, but break it with the
hand"
"Ihou shalt not place a dish
on a piece of bread nor wipe
thy fingers on bread"
when a piece of bread falls
to the ground, pick it up care.

Eat table thou shalt comport
thy self decently with dignity,
not lean lazily on the clothe,

hands and mouth, clean thy
teeth and render thanks unto

it should be, and the consumers of

eradication. The milk of no tubercu-

attack the trees on lawn, street, and
forest. The most effective weapon
against an insect is its parasite. We
have introduced many thousands OF
the parasites of the insects mentioned
and they are doing tnei work. Our
chief Entomologist is now on his way
to Crimea for more nests of h para
sites. When we are visited by an in
sect pest the first move is to ascer-
air where it came from, and hen we

have to be careful not to bring in

The Soil Survey.
We are studying the soils of the
country, their variations, composition,
and conditions, the crops to which
they are best adapted, and other fea-
lures tlat have been neglected in the
past. The scientists of the past have
told us little that is practical about
soils.

been active for a generation or more
regarding the preparation of h far

tors think the farmer needs nothing
beyond a common-school education.
Many legislators mir hat money de-
voted to training farm people is vast
ed. The Federal Government has vot-
ed lands and money to educate the
children of the farmer and the me-
c9Fanic and mas endowed institutions to
make research. The States have fol-
lowed the lead of the Congress, and
something is being done IN each of
them, much is being done in some of
them, to teach the sciences of agri-
culture. The movement among those
interested is so strong that the old
fashioned educator a1d the hostile leg
islator are getting into the minority.
Research Work.
The work of the Department in

SEC. WILSON TALKS

Pittsburg, Pa, April 29.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson on Saturday
night made a speech before the Amer
icus Club here, in which he discussed
farming, transportation and kindred
subjects. His address in full was as
follows:
Agriculture in our Industries.
The most successful farming in our
day is carried on by men of highest
intelligence regarding all that pertains
to the soil, the plant, h animal, and
the market. The American producer
from the field would not be the potent
factor he is without the inventor to
perfect his machinery and the carrier
who transports long distances at low
rates; nor would he play the part he
does in the worlds markets with poor
er soils and less genial climates.
Agricultural Education.
A vigorous movement by Federal
and State agencies is il progress to
educate the young people of the farm
