VOLCANOES IN JAPAN.
They May Appear Innocent, but They

They May Appear Innocent, but They
Are Not to Be Trusted.
In his new guidebook to the Japa-
nese empire T. Philip Terry refers to
the fact that in Japan there are up.
ward of fifty active volcanoes of the
type of the now notorious Sakurajima,
in Kagoshima bay, Kyushu island, and
that what might be termed their spe-
cial custom is to remain quiescent for
a few decades-sometimes more than
a century-then suddenly to blow up
and MAIN or kill every one within
reach Of their wrath.
One of the most vicious examples of
their ~treacherOus habit is Asamayama,
Japan's grouchiest volcano. which rises
$500 feet above the sea. near Karuiza-
wa. on the Shainano highland. 1t is
often referred to as the japanese We
suvius (than which it is 1880 feet
higher, because Of it's similarity to
ltaly's terror. Prior to May. 1911, it
remained practically dead for 1875
years; then it erupted with startling
suddenness and killed a number of un-
fortunate tourists who We're standing
on its uppermost rim gazing into it's
yawning crater. The explosions are
now frequent and fearsome, and
formidable earth tremors are some
times felt as far east as Tokyo and
Yokohama.
Terry warns American travellers
with mountain climbing proclivities to
beware of the innocent appearing Jap
anese volcanoes, as they are not to be

AGRICULTURE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
No Fad, but Inevitable Result
Of Our Development.
PRACTICAL Work BENEFICIAL
BY A. v. STORM. University Farm,
St. Paul,

St. Paul.
The teaching of agriculture in the
public schools is not a fad, but the
inevitable result of our development.
We have been making progress in
this direction for 400 years and the
time has arrived when the promotion
of education in scientific agriculture
must be conducted through the pub
lie schools as we'll as through the
special agricultural schools that have
been established.
Agricultural colleges, experiment
stations, technical schools of agri.
culture. agricultural papers. farmers
Institutes, short courses and other
similar activities have accomplished
much, but they are now insufficient
without the aid of the public schools.
The study OF agriculture has a dis
tinct value as mental training which
improves the quality of the school
work sufficiently to justify its S
even If W. disregard the great value
of the information obtained.
The fear that it could not be taught
was quickly shown to be g%roundless.
because it is actually being taught
and very successfully in a great many
places. The objection that there is
nothing to be taught fades before the
really great question of what to
choose out of the multitude of things
that can be taught. The question Of
how to find time for it has been
answered in many ways, the most sig
the present work of the children a
large amount of useless material
which crept into the course of study
many years ago and is there for no
other reason than that it has been
there in the past. Certain useless
portions of arithmetic. grammar,
physiology and other studies may
readily be s%upplanted by more prac-
tical work in agriculture, homemaking
and other subjects relating to the
everyday life of the students.
In the rural schools the many
things that may be lone or studied in
clude counting the stand of corn, saw
ing and storing seed corn, corn judg-
ing, corn testing, planter testing. pre-.
pairing the seed for the planter, the
preparation Of the seed bed, growth of
the corn plant, processes of cultiva.
tion, the history of corn and a study
OF what becomes of the corr crop
the study of weeds, the harm they dc
and the ean of getting rid of them
study of DOultrv and other live stock
and the study of the small grains.

HOG CHOLERA VIRUS.
Production Of Serum Should &c kep.
Under State Control.

Virus, as usually understood in vac.
cination work, is the watery portion OF
the blood OF a ch%olera-sick hog anu
contains the specific virus which vii.
produce true hog cholera when intro
duced without serum into the blood
Of a susceptible hog.
Obviously it would be a foolish and
dangerous public policy to authorize
the use of virus everywhere and by
everybody. 1t is very plain that hog
cholera virus means hog cholera and
that virus is dangerous material to
handle so far as hogs are concerned.
because it is capable of causing and
spreading the disease. For this rea.
son serum-virus treatment should moi
be used Unfortunately. Just where
the line should be drawn seems to be
an extremely difficult question to
solve.
At present only veterinarians in
state employ may legally administer
the serum-virus treatment except up
on written permission from the state
live stock sanitary board. 1t is prob
able that in order to take care of the
serious situation created by wide
spread cholera last year more extern
sive plans will be adopted for provid-
ing serum-virus treatment for such
cholera-swept districts.
At two recent conferences. including
state live stock sanitary board repre-.
sentatives, college and experiment sta
ton men, farmers, stockmen and
others, it was decided after long dis
cussion that serum-virus treatment
should be limited to veterinarians who
have had training in bacteriology and
who receive a permit from the state.
