SWISS FARMING MIR. Beauclerk OBJ
sci ives in his report on the commercial
position of Switzerland, that agricul-
turnl development is checked by the
constant subdivision of land. The dis
tribution of property upon the death of
the head OF the family produces many
very small holdings; so that 1t becomes
rs much as the farmer can do TO feed
his household, without attempting any
experimentation operations on large
scale. An Old-iashiOned out-of date
system of farming consequently pre-
vaiis. Oxen may he seen "uncgually
yolked together" with orhses or asses,
IN place Of the steam plow; corn is still
thleshcd with the fail instead of by
machinery, In curious contrast with
the manufactures, where tho latest
mechanical improvements are eagerly
adopted and ext nsively employed, new
inventions beng frequently produced
by native citizrns. 1his adherance to
old-fashloncd ways IL fostcred by the
jealous Of innovation exhibited bv the
tanners, and a certain revengeiul spirit
in the peasant class, demonstrated by
incendlary fires, Which have been OF
alarming frequency In the neighbour
hood OF Bernie, Bale and Zurich.

Gen. Neal Dow for Garfield.

lhenneDec Journal
Hon. Neal Dow has been exchanging views
on the political situation with a friend, and
speaking out with the frankness that always
distinguishes his utterances. Contrasting the
two leading candidates for the Presidency,
and realizing that one or the other is to chosen,
Gen. Dow declares:
81 was never a more stalwart Republican
than I am now, aud do most earnestly wish
success to Gen. GarieldA
And, after referring to several other points,
Gen. Dow added:
"There is indeed no man in the country
would prefer to Garfield for President except
Senator Blaine, whose nomination L earnestly
desired
Being inquired of as to prohibitory cleo
toral ticket in Maine, Gen. Dow answered
very frankly that ''to put such ticket in the
field at this time would be simply to aid Han
cock and injure Garfield" And that is precise.
| ly the result which Gen. Dow "does not desire
| to see accomplished
In his judgment "no greater calamity could
| happen to the country than to place its govern.
| ment under the lead of the solid South" And
| aside from the political evils of Southern dom
| ination, he "woud regard Hancock's election
as an overwhelming disaster to the great bust
ness prosperity now everywhere developing
| throughout the country"
| 1t is the opinion of Gen. Dow that 'every
Republican in the State who felt dissatisfied in
| any degree with Governor Davis will support
| Garfeld-working for him and voting fol
| him."
| He judges this, because to vote for prohib-
itory Presidential ticket in Maine at this cleo
| ton would be only to aid the enemies of pro
| hibitiOn, as every vote Withdrawn from Gar
| field would by SO much aid Hancock. II
would really, in Gen. BOWS judgment, be
| "disloyalty to prohibition to insist ON running
a ticket for the benefit of Hancock and the
| solid South Democracy

invgorating, sustaining and preventive prop
critics are known to the humblest peon. The
natives are enabled by chewing it to traverse
vast tracts of country, carrying burdens of in
credible weight, oftentimes without food, and

cilasso de la Vega, draws attention in his
Commentaries of the Incas," published in
1917, to the nourishing and fortifving proper
