diseases. It seems to us it would have been well for the management also to have considered preventable diseases of the human family. The death rate and sick rate among farmers is 20 per cent. higher than it should be. The preventable diseases and preventable deaths from which they suffer cost them more than all of their losses from insects and from animal diseases. We hope the next State Farmers' Institute will take up to some degree, the subject of "How to prevent disease in human beings on the farm." The money saving which can be made along this line is enormous and the saving in happiness and strength is incalculable. HOGS VERSUS CHILDREN. The Bulletin of the Iowa State Board of Health recently contained the following item which graphically sets forth the apparent relative importance of children, and hogs if one is to judge from the government of appropriations made for their safety: Congress has been asked this year for an appropriation of $3,000 for the employment of an expert in the welfare of children. It was hoped by those who made the request that this modest beginning would lead to an efficient bureau of the Department of the Interior which would eventually deal with a wide range of questions affecting school children. In support of this request a Nebraska. woman wrote that her husband was engaged in raising hogs while she was trying to raise a boy. Her husband, she said had no difficulty in getting expensive aid from the government in his hog raising pursuits, but she has to struggle along in her own way with the boy question. With the pardonable mother's prejudice, she argued that the welfare of her boy seemed almost as important as the health and happiness of her husband's hogs."
