American Agriculture.

In the Princeton Review for April Fran
els A.. Walker, disappointment of the
tenth census of the United States, gives
a general view of the state OF American
agriculture. He considers the tenure of
land in the United States as the best in the
world. 1t is honorable and highly popu-
lar to own and cultivate land. "Of the
100000 farms approximately into which
the cultivated surface of the United States
is divided, 60 or even 20 per cent are cul-
tivated by their owners" In the north
ern States the proportion rises to 80 per
cent, while three of the northwestern
States show ratio of 80 per cent The
lands of Great Britain, contrary to our
tenure. ARE almost entirely held in relative
ly large tracts by small number of own
ers. In France land by law is sub-divdcd
at the death of an owner among his heirs,
so that many farms are becoming too
small-mere patches.
In the Union there are, first, millions
of farms just large enough to employ
profitably the labor of the owner and his
growing sons; next, multitudes of con-
siderable estates upon which capital, skill,
labor and machinery are employed so as
to secure admirable results; and lastly.
there are those vast farms of Illinois, Cal
ifornia and Dakota. where from 1000 to
5000 acres or even more are sown in one
wheat field.
When our farmers are compared with
those of Europe, how marked is the con-
trast. The cultivators Of the soil in the
United States, outside the region of slavery,
have never been a peasant class, properly
speaking. OF the sons of the farmer and
his wife, some continue farmers, others
become merchants or lawyers. enter other
professions or perhaps become engaged
in political life. Look at the peasantry Of
France, kept within a distinctive dress
and the customs-as firm as the laws OF
the Medes and Persians-of the blouses
In animal and vegetable life very much
has been done to improve the farming
products Of the country. Receiving the
running horse from England, he has beer
much improved in strain. Nearly 1906
horses can now trot mile in 2.3o, and
one has reached the speed of 2.10.

A Little Virginia Heroine.

The following interesting account Of a lit
tie Virginia girls bravery is narrated by the
Montgomery Messenger:
Last Friday two gentlemen, named Payne
and Hariston. commercial travellers, arrived
at New River ferry. While waiting for the
beat Mr.. Payne drove the buggy into the wa
ter to wash it off, when the horse became un-
manageable and plunged into deep water.
Mr.. Payne endeavored to cut the animal
loose. but was thrown into the water, and
having on heavy overcoat and boots was in
very critical situation. Lille Bryant, daugh-
ter of the ferryman, aged IA years, was on
the other side of the river playing in a canoe.
With great presence of mind she padded at
once to the rescue; Mr.. Hariston, with less.
made her come to the bank for him before
going to the rescue Of Payne, he supposing
that the little girl was not able to rescue
Payne; but Mr.. Hariston. seizing a paddle,
put the boat o turning ''round and round, -
and so Payne sank. Brave Lille at once took
