exchange Of products between farms

ly exchange Of products between farms
and factories widely separated sup
ports class which consumes nearly half as
much as do the hands employed in manu-
features. In the year 1871, about ..S9
per cent. Of wheat grown in this
country was consumed by farmers
and those dependent upon them;
about Is per cent. by persons en-
ployed in manufactures and those de-
pendent upon them about Is per cent by
those engaged in personal and professional
services and others dependent upon
them; about 8 per cent by persons
engaged in trade and transportation and
their dependents and the rest, about II
per cent. was exported. The surplus OF
cereals in the northwestern states, there
fore, is not the result of accident or mis-
taken within, but theinevitable consequence
of fixed laws. Increasing destiny of popu-
lation and cost of land steadily drive the
larger operations of agriculture to regions
more remote from the great centres of
population, manufactures, and commerce,
and to fresher and cheaper lands. New
| York produces less wheat and less corn
than il did 20 years ago. The cost otmOv-
ing the eyer-increasing surplus OF agricul
tural states, over a steadily increasing dis
lance, to points where it is needed to sup
ply an ever-increasing deficit in production
is condition of the growth and prosperity
of agriculture in this country which it can
not escape.
/ An increase of FIVE cents per one hun
dred pounds in the cost of transportation
from western states to New York or othe
eastern markets is equivalent to tire
. cents bushel on wheat, two cents an
j, eight-teuths on rye aud corn, one cent AM
= six-tenths bushel on oats, and (aliowln

S bushel for barley and buckwheat, the law

This loss of over $37 100000 in selling
price of the products of 44,375, 100 acres
cultivated is about eighty four cents an
acre. Ii is loss, not ofvaluation, but the
yearly income or profit upon which valua-
ton is based The actual value OF land for
farming purposes is that sum upon which
the net profit of the yearly crop will yield
a fair interest. At per cent. interest,
whatever reduces the net profits seventy
cents per acre reduces the actual value OF
the land $40 per acre Hence the loss OF
I $37. $1,000 in the yearly income from GER
tain lands, is equivalent 10 a loss of s53s,
/ 27i 900 in their actual value. Such is the
result Of 'trifing' change of five cents
per GENITAL in rates of freight
Ii is true, the farmers OF the eleven
states are not affected in the same degree
by a general chrnge in rates. For the ct
feet upon the value of land depends upor
the number of bushels produced to the
acre. The averave yield Of different crops

years lS6S-lS7l inclusive, and the effect o
a change of one cent per one hundred

three years at these three markets CORES
ponds exactly with the summer rate of
transportation between them.
In spite Of wide fluctuations, CORNERS,
and local disturbances, the tendency of
western markets is To approximate closely
during any term Of years, to the rates at
which the surplus Of products of the farm
can be shipped to and sold in eastern mar
kets.
Consequently, an increase of one cent
per bushel in cost Of transportation ordin-
arily costs the western farmer one cent
per bushel in the selling price of his crop.
Neighborhood consumers, millers. produce
merchants, cattle-feeders, do not ordinari-
ly pay more than the price fixed by east
ern quotations less the rate of tranSporta-
ton, because they know that millions OF
bushels all around them must find a mar
ket at the east, or he wholly lost.
The northwest not only must produce
cereals, but must produce a surplus. The
hope that growth Of manufactures may
create a sufficient home market in the
farming states is cherished by many, in
complete disregard of necessary conditions
of manufacture, or the ratio of production
10 consumption OF agricultural products.
ne average CONSUMPTION Vi wheat Is lOul
and seventy-six hundreths bushels pen
capita; and of all cereals, including the
quantity fed 10 animals, thirty-six bushels
per capita. II it were possible to gather
up all the hands employed in all the cottor
mills Of the United States and deposit
them in a single county in Iowa, eithel
one Of fourteen counties in that state nov
produces more wheat than all those hand
could consume. All the hands employee
in all the factories and shops of the Unitet
States, il added to the present population
OF Illinois, would consume less than hal
the surplus Of cereals now produced b!
that state. A mill Of 213 hands on everl
farm Of 100 acres Of wheat would only suf
