English Farmers in Despair.

, 1t may be from fear of America, it
may be from the long continuance of
Improbable harvests, it may be the
rise in the expenditure especially on
labor, or it may even be from increased
intelligence, but there is hopelessness
about farmers complaints which ex-
perienced men. familiar with their
ways, never remember before. They
hardly look for any improvement.
They do not speak of the bad times as
exceptional. They do not among each
other talk of prices as sure to improve.
Above all. they throw up their farms on
apparently light provocation. Ex-
perienced land agents notice total diff
ference of tone, an indispOsition to hag-
gle, a sort of determination to make
none but low offers, and to stick to
them. The tenants, as they say, seem
not to want the farms. and make offers
too low to be entertained. in kind of
spiteful sport. Yery often no offers at
all can be obtained and the land is
either thrown upon the landlord s
hands or goes ont Of cultivation. The
latter Occurrences was formerly most un-
usual in Great Britain. and seems al
most impossible; but there is no reason
to doubt the statements made that in
ctcky S<yAA4ty IA -bhC oOuth aho SbSe
large numbers Of farms formerly yield
ing good rents are lying idle, the land
lords being unwilling to let at low
rent to men who ask long leases. and
unwilling to cultivate for themselves or
able to bear q temporary loss. We
know in our own experience of a dis
trict in which eleven farms, poorish to
fair a. to soil, are deserted and I'M
titled. and have read advertisements OF
a quite extraordinary character in the
way Of temptation to tenants. OF
farms Ia the landlords hands, and of
farms broken into two or three, there
is no end, while land in modest patches
has sunk in value in a degree which
suggests q kind of dread among ten
ants as well as land buyers. There is a
feeling of hopelessness, in fact, abroad
among the farmers of the better class,
and of reluctance to remain in the bus
mess. which of itself may produce i'm
portant effects. willingness to farm
having been an important element in
the trade. 1t differed from all others
in its attraction for q class those who
preferred country life and were content
not only with modest profits. but with
an entire absence of those chances
which in many walks of life are so at
tractive. Now that willingness has
disappeared.-London Economist.

How Much Pork to a Bushel Of Corn.
Among the questions discussed at the

Among the questions discussed at the
last meeting of the Iowa Stock Breed
ers' Association was the oft<mooted one
of the number of pounds of pork that
may be produced from given quantity
of corn. Mr.. Briggs. of Jasper, said it
was claimed that one bushel of corn
would produce ten pounds of pork, but
he claimed that under most circum-
stances it would not produce five pounds
to the bushel, while in other cases fif-
teen TO eighteen might be produced.
Mr.. Nichols, of Muscatine, also gave his
experience on this question. He had
produced as high as twelve pounds Of
pork from bushel of corn. Mr.. Brown,
of Marshall, stated that he had obtained
nine pounds of pork to the bushel, and
as high as ten when the hogs were on
grass. Mr.. Lathrop, of johnson, was
Of the opinion that in the condensing
process more pork could be obtained
Tor bushel of corn in young hogs than
in older ones, and the same would also
be the case in cattle. Mr.. Hiatt. OF
Jasper County. was of the opinion that
not more than five pounds of pork
could be produced from bushel OF
corn, and believed in selling corn in
preference to feeding it when he could
get thirty cents per bushel.-Natiena

The Gould Texas Railroads.

Yesterdays Post Dispatch announced
the arrival of Jay Gould and party from
Texas. A call was made this morning
upon Mr.. A. A. Talmage, General Man.
ager of the Missouri-Pacific consolida-
ton, to learn if the trip had resulted in
the adoption of any new plan in refer
erence to the Gould lines. MIR. Talmage
said the trip was one of inspection. MIR.
Gould and the other officials desired to
see what progress had been made in the
last year.
Were any steps taken toward push
ing the several extensionsp"
"No, the steps were already taken
and there was nothing to do but to note
progress"
'When will Gould visit St. Louis
againp"
81 don't know. Probably he doesn't
know himself
"At what points are extensions now
now being made, and how far has the
work progressedP"
"The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad is being extended from Green
vile south to connect with the Interna-
tional and Great Northern system.
This will give the Missouri Pacific an in
dependent line into Houston, Austin,
Galveston and San Antonio"
"When will this connection be
madep'
.'By the first of May. Then we are
building another extension from White
boro to Fort Worth. This will be sew
enty-four miles in length and will be
completed by May 1. Then again the
grading is nearly all done from Fort
Worth south to Waco, and in very
short time track laying will commence
at Fort Worth"
"Does this complete the list of extern
sionsP''
"Oh, no, the engineers are now To-
eating a line from Waco to Georgetown
at which point connection will be
made with the International and
Great Northern, making direct through
line to San Antonio. From San Anto-
MO toward the Rio Grande, twenty-five
miles have been already graded and
tracklaying will begin next week at San
Antonio.'
"When will The entire line be opened
to the Rio GrandeP''
ssBy the first of next December. Al
together there will be built in the State
of Texas 400 miles of road this year.
Beside the new road several hundred
miles of old road will have been consol-
idated under the Gould management"
The reporter at this juncture was just
settling down to ask about fifteen more
questions, whenth imperturbable mana
gersaid: s'That is all the taffy can
give you to-day. Good morning."
From what has been given, however,
it is evident that the Mexican project of
Gould is no myth, and that it will be
pushed to a much earlier completion
than any one had supposed possible

Tomatoes.

A common mistake in the cultivation
of this plant is to imagine that it re-
quires an enormous space to perfect its
growth in. OF course, if it is allowed
to wander at its own sweet will it will
occupy great deal of ground. But this
