BC1KNCH AND THE A(iH!CTI-Tl'RAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS. ITS only about twenty-five years since Congress passed the Hatch act founding the system of agricultural experiment stations In this country. State Is now $30,000, to which the States themselves have -in many cases added. Those lets familiar with the [work often think of It solely ns an attempt further the interests of [the ifr&ctlcal farmer. The institutions woro founded "to promote scientific Investigation and experiment respecting tho princlpTes ahd applications of agricultural science"; , but tho scopo of the work now extends far beyond the boundaries of the farm. The lessonh of this iinpos- . lng movement in agricultural research and education aro manifold. The American experiment stations have demonstrated the solidarity of the different sciences. Their succcifw*have taught the important los? that na taa nan foretell what highly" specialized ^researches, and they have fostered a spirit of popular interest in the progress of science quite beyond anything that could have been expected two decades ago. when empiricism still reigned supreme and distrust of the utility of scientific Investigation wan widespread. As an illustration of the value of this work. The Journal of the American Medical Association j -eetmnenta-on the recent report of tho Wisconsin. Agricultural Experiment Station, which now has forty or more problems under investigation, covering such questions as the effect on nutrition of animals and man of a single plant ration, the mineral needs of animals, tbe methods of ripening cheese, tho Improvement of market milk and the causes and prevention of animal disease. The quiet modert labors and persistent paticncr in the field and the laboratory of these untiring workers are doing aa much for tho welfare of the state as are the efforts of those who shine conspicuously in the legislative halls. Mr. J. R. Jones of Rlounts Creek was yesterday in town. GRAFT TfUAIi OF NEW YORK POLICEMAN.
