COUNT ANDRASsPs VISIT.

HIS VIEWS on AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL HT SAW
ON HIS TRAVELS.
Count Apdrassy of Austria. came TO this country
in March, accompanied by party of five or six per-
sons for the special purpose of collecting statistics
in regard 10 the agriculture and manufactures of
the United States, to examine the labor
saving machinery used by farmers here;
but also with the intention of seeing the
country, and having pleasant time Since their
arrival, he and his friends have travelled all
through the South. in some parts Of the West havo
been to the Pacific Coast. where they spent month;
and the Count, accompanied by one OF his COM
rades visited Canada and inspected the Weland
Canal. The Count was found Monday afternoon
by TRIBUNE reporter in his room at the Bruins
wick Hotel He surrounded by numerous
trunks and he was chatting with his sole
remaining travelling companion-the others
having returned to Europe-and to an
Austrian resident of this city. His face is tanned 10
a dark brown by exposure during two or three
hunting expeditions, and he looked perfect picture
of health.
81 have enjoyed my trip thoroughly he said.
lyon know have spent nearly three months of the
time have been in this country in hunting We
went on several expeditions but the last one, which
bears and nearly 100 deers and elks. We
did not do as well in regard to
bears, however as an English party which
Killed over 100; but bears were all they hunted.
Much OF my time has been spent in the country
among the farmers so that | have not seen much
comparatively, OF the cities. AT San Francisco We
stayed month, and found the people very hospit-
able; but the weather was so badi
In our work we were very successful We col
lected great many statistics which will DO of
great value. Then i have a Trunk here full of
sketches OF IabOr-saying machinery. Our Govern
ment dd not send MS, unfortunately, a list of tho
questions II wanted answered until this week but
we shall have nearly all the information needed.
1t is hard to tell how many of the American meth
DDS or machines can be adopted proftably by Euro
peans. 1on see labor il so much cheaper In our
country than 10 Is here that what Won coull usa
economically would be extravagant for US Nobody
likes work, you know, and the American farmer
viii get the hines that save him labor al any
cost He won't do the W rk himself if he can help
IT, so he buys machine to do it. and he will
sometimes plough his field riding COM
fortably, with his head protected from the
SUM-. In Austria, the farmer if lac doesn't feel like
working and has money, can easily and cheaply
hire other men o. labor for him. Then the condi-
lions Of the countries are so different that many
mac ines, which are excellent here would be OF
little use there"
where dId you see the best farms m YOUR
travel" asked the repor err
Well, we saw some very fine ones in Michigan
bat think that the best farmers are those of the
Germans N Kansas and the Mormons Perhaps tic
MCrmOns should be considered the best because
they had such poor land o begin wi b.
Did you vlsit any OF the large farms, like the
DaTYuPlc, IN Dakota ~
No; what We wanted to see was the way in
which tie smaller farms cultivated. The
owners OF those larger farms don't take care IF their
ground properly they never enrich harrow IT.
BY and by he weeds will grow ~ more thicky and
be too much Tor the wheat, or the soil will become
exhausted. asked one Of the large owners what he
would do in that case. He replied that he would
sell IL 70 the GCrmans-they would bay it, have no
doubt"
What did you think Of the Weiland Ca1alp
" 1t Is the finest one IN the world
Count AndraSSy went 10 Washington yesterday ~
transact some business, after which he will return
10 this city and then sail for Europe.
