think that a majority of our farmers
own too much land. In travelling about
the country one observes that the fields
near at hand are the only ones well
titled, receiving nearly all the manure
and cultivation, while the fields at q
distance are neglected and yield little
profit.
If the farm was reduced in size, the
interest upon the investment would be
less, taxes would be lightened and the
expense of fencing materially reduced.
Then if the same amount of energy,
fertilizers and care were concentrated
upon the 100 acres Cor even less) that
was formerly scattered over the 800, the
yield would in all probability be in
creased rather than reduced.
The friction upon large farms is too
great. Suppose it takes man fifteen
minutes to reach his work, he will in
eight months spend twenty days in GO
ing and returning. Where several
men and teams are employed this loss
of time will be found to be an important
item.
From this loss alone bonanza farm
ing'' is not likely to succeed. The
larger tie farm the greater the Eric
ton"
The skimmers of the West may for
time be able to grow thousands of acres
OF wheat proftably, but when the soil is
worn out for wheat Gas it soon will beg,
they will be obliged to move On and skim
in new locality.
Very few farmers are aware of the
fact that small farms are, as rule, the
most profitable. l am very sure that in
this country the men who are cultivat-
ing from ten to one hundred acres are
making more money than are those who
occupy large farms.
am well aware that the man who
farms the greatest number of acres usu-
ally weighs most. when speaking at
our farmers clubs or when he writes for
the papers, but here his greatest adj
vantage ends. Most persons have only
a faint conception as to what a single
acre can be made to produce. Think
of these suggestions and do not locate

well for stockmen on the prairies to IN

The SevastopOl Of To. Day.

Twenty-eight times the earth has run
around the sun since the last bomb
burst over the ''august city" of Seyas-
topol, and yet the ruins of houses,
churches and forts are as fresh and
plentiful as if they had been made but
Yesterday. The least sea breeze raises
the clouds of dust and sand, and the
unhappy city stands sad reproach TO
Russian neglect. And yet it is a holy
place. There are the historical earth
works, and Malakoff Hill saturated
with Russian blood. There fought, suf-
fered and died-nay, marched to sure
death-hundreds of thousands of Rus
sian soldiers. There is the historical
grave of legion of Russian heroes, but
no proud mausoleum crowns that tomb.
1t is covered with yellow grass, thistles
and heaps of dust. Alas. such q grave
never suggests the thought: '1n glori-
Gus death there is immortal glory" No;
it rather says: "Nations, like men, are
ungrateful."
During twenty-eight years our coun-
try has not done anything to assist in
authorities have seemed to thwart every
sign of life there. Sevastopol is one OF
the best commercial ports in the world.
but the Ministry Of the Navy greedily
sticks to every piece of land indispensa-
BILE to the merchants. And so the Sc
vastopol of to-day is neither CONNER
cial nor a naval port. Before the Cri-
mean war there were in Sevastopol 50,-
900 inhabitants, and now it hardly
counts third of that number. C-tain-
ly, under the present circumstances, the
Sevastopolians can not rebuild their city
with their own means
Nature has made Sevastopol and
the Crimea in general real gem.
Winter is not known there, and delicate
semi-tropical fruits and the beautiful
sea make it most desirable resort for
invalids and tourists. 1t is our Italy or
our Florida. But our countrymen are
so accustomed to frosts, snow and ice
that they do not appear to care at all
for that semi-tropical paradise, the
Crimea. In Sevastopol there is small
cape call 1.-The Cape of Free Contempla-
tons" We wonder what thoughts are
in the minds of our countrymen who
visit that cape. In view of the ruins,
of the dust and dirt of the '.august
city," of the forgotten graves of q hun
dred thousand heroes, of the rare nstu-
raj forts not utilized, does it not occur
to them that Russia is playing the part
of a stepmother toward her bravest and

Thirty Games Of Chess at Once.

AT the Maryland Historical rooms last
night Herr. Wilhelm Steinitz played
thirty games Of chess simultaneously in
the presence of gu tie a large audience.
The tab es supporting the chess-boards
were ranged in parallelHrows down the.
middle OF the hall, each OF the thirty
contestants being seated in front OF
table. Herr. Steinitz, commencing at
table No. / would make move and pass
to the. next, making a circuit once N
=es cry twenty minutes. In playing,
Steinitz invariably leaned on his right
arm nlaced on the table. and in his left
hand held an unlighted cigar. through
out the evening In maang move the
distinguished little gentleman would
raise the piece and set it down hastily
bat lightly, reminding one Of the III
strike you- with-a-feather gesture, which
some years ago was a part OF the stock
in trade of variety stars. From the out
set Herr Steinitz adopted a Y gorously
aggressive policy, and sooE had two
til rds OF his. opponents in a very lad
way. Mr.. julius Hall, DR., at 11:20 pro-
posed draw (which Ste nit1 accepted.
At 1 Las DR.. A. B. Arnold also proposed
a draw. which was accepted. At II; 40
thirteen OF the players had resigned and
two were mated. Atftable No. 8 Mr..
Steinitz administered brilliant mate by
sacrificing his queen early in the game.
In playing Mr.. Steinitz on an average
took about one quarter OF minute Tor
each move. The first opponent to re-
sign was Mr.. j. j. Merrifeld, at 1910
b. m. At 1905 q. m. Mr.. Steinitz made
an oversight at the table Of Mr.. A. Sell
mar, which the latter prompt y availed
of. causing the veteran to resign. This
is the first time Mr.. Steinitz has been
beaten in Baltimore. At l a m. the
games were concluded, Mr.. Steinitz
winning all with the exceptions above
noted. TO try his memory one Of the
players misplaced the king. No sooner
did he return to that chess board on his
rounds than he noticed the change. Mr..
Steinitz's most formidable opponent
was Mr.. Julius Hall It looked at one
time as if the latter would win, and the
champion pondered deeply over his
moves The game had reached a point
where Mr.. Ha / had d king, bishop
and two paWns aga INST king and q
knight, and was press ng Steinitz hard.
He made a al p, however. and Steintz
threw forward his knight, SO as to check

game wasa draw. Baltimore american.
