An old grandmother after several incffect-
ual efforts to make her soap, was advised to
refer the case to a professor of chemistry.
"What do you think" said the old lady,
"that Prof K knows about making
soapP No, sir. He may know something
about books, but you cannot make fool Of
me, by getting me to see the Prof" As
the soap had become " bcwitched," and the
old lady could not imagine what allied it, she
at last consented to crafty the within of her
friend. The chemical Prof. examined the
soap, and told her wherein the fault was and
the Prof. was right. l need not add the
Prof became a wonderful genius in the
opinion of the good old lady.-Er.
A good many farmers are like this grand
mother in refusing to be helped by science,
but unlike her in not being capable Of con.
version to more sensible views.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM.

The recent report of the senate select COM
mittee on transportation is volume we'll
worthy Of circulation, and really ought to
be printed for general distribution. The
subject Of the report is one which affects the
interests Of every person in the Union. The
transportation Of products not consumed by
the producer in this country nearly, if not
quite, equals in cost the original cost Of pro.
duction, and anything that can lessen this
great tax is a benefit to the whole country.
In many instances this drain upon our re-
sources might be saved by bringing the pro-
ducers and consumers nearer together, and
this will be done as the country grows older.
Manufacturing industries will become more
numerous in tho Western and Southern
states where now the population is chiefly
agricultural. But making all due allow.
ance for the falling of of this branch of the
carrying trade, which falling off we sincerely
hope may be large, that business is certain
to increase in magnitude as the resources oil
the country are developed. The cattle
grain, butter aud cheese of the West mus
continue to come east, aud the three latter
will be exported to European countries. The
exports of cereals alone have increased from
l3,l99,049 bushels in 1910 to 1920, 52l
bushels in 1870, the annual exports having
more than doubled in the last ten years, anC
the prospect is good for continuance of the
yearly increase, and as large amount o
this grain passes through New York on it
way, and will in all probability continue t.
do so, the present inland freight lines will
not only find ample employment but will no
be sufficient TO meet the requirements. Wa
ter communication, being cheaper wherever
practicable, will be developed and new line
opened, and for the grain trade, where speed
is Of small moment, will doubtless becom,
the means Of transit unless in the onward
march of Improvement the cost of transpor
tation by rail be cheapened; but for cattle
butter, aud many other products the quick
est mode of transit will be apt to find tn,
most custom. The following table we ex
tract from the report, it being the exports o.
corn and wheat from the three ports men
toned during the year 1872:
