How TO SEE NIAGARA.-The
Michigan Central Railroad Company
opens a through East and West
loute which gives the tourist such
full and leisurely opportunities to see
Niagara Falls-without once leaving
his seat-that a generous public may
we'll accept the new provisions as am
pie atonement for all previous short
comings. BY the new route the travel
er is not simply given a distinct and OBJ
scure view Of the Falls. He is taken
down the river on the New York side.
From Buffalo to Tonawanda he rides,
much of the way, along the river bank,
and can study the force and sweep of
the great current. Then, as he rides
along, he has a full view of the two
great arms of the river that encompass
Grand Island. just before he reaches
Niagara Falls village he can see tie
first break of the river into the upper
rapids. He crosses the stream by the
new cantilever bridge, and has a general
view of the Falls which is better than
that heretofore obtained from the old
bridge, because it is a nearer view.
Then he skirts along above the Cana
dian bank until Fails View" is reach
ed. This point of observation has
heretofore been reached only by the
Niagara City branch Of the Canada
Southern. Ii has not been on the East
and West route at all. Now all through
trains stop at Fails View" which is
really one of the finest views of the
Falls anywhere to be had. Certainly
such a route may be honestly called a
Niagara Falls route.'

What IL Costs to Fence out the
Old Cow and Sow.

According to the census. there are
il North Carolina, l57,60 farms,
and $500, 900 acres Of improved land,
an average of about - acres to each
farm. supposing the improved land'
to mean that which is in cultivation.
The cost of building and repairing fences
in the State for the census year was 80
0OO. 900. az average OF sl2.1O TO each
farm. or 80 rents per acre OF the cult
waited land.
Take the county of Mecklenburg I'M
der the operations of the "No-tence
law" In this county there are 2,645
farms aud 1iG.2i3 acres of improved
land, an average OF SIS acres TO each
farm. The cost of building and repair
ing fences for the census year was S.
2l5 an average of 80 35 per farm or !
cents per acre ofcultivated land.
Granville had 2,S64 farms and l50,-
l27 acres improved land, being an aver
age OF 81 acres to each farm. The cost
Of fencing was SIS, 407, an average OF
ego per farm, or IS cents per acre OF
cultivated land.
EdgecOmbe had l,S66 farms and 1885,
0l5 acres improved land, an average OF
- acres TO each farm. The fencing
cost $35, 005, very nearly $50 per farm,
or % cents per acre Of cultivated land.
Take Greene county, which was un-
der the old system in the census year.
1t had 1919 farms and 1922 acres i'm
proved land, an average of 20 acres to
each farm. The cost of fencing was
$17,S29 an average of 1882 per farm,
or 81 cents per acre OF cultivated land.
OF course the cost to large farms is
much more than smaller ones, but the
average cost per acre will determine the
cost to each farm either small or large.
Now suppose Mecklenburg be taken
as a sample, and the no-fence law in
operation in every county throughout
the State,-let us compare results: The
cost per acre for fencing in Mecklen-
burg is 4 cents the average cost in the
State is 30 cents per acre, making a to-
tai of So, 200. 900. Under the new sys-
ten if at 4 cents per acre it would only
be $500, 600, ali annual saving of ST.
100000; the interest on which at 6 per
cent, would amount to $l04, 400, nearly
half enough to keep up all the fencing
in the whole State.
Greene county instead OF paying out
ST. 1896 would only pay $3,027, which
would be an annual saving ofSl5, 792.-

THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD. -Detec-
tive Sergeant Fields is an elderly and
fatherly looking man who made up his
mind long ago not TO be surprised at
anything any more. But he was sur
prised yesterday.
He wa. in an elevated train when a
very pretty and richly dressed young
woman got OF at Hanover square and
seated herself beside him. Taking out
a little memorandum book and a lead
pencil she touched the latter to her tom
que and tried to write. There was no
point on the pencil, and it would not
mark. Without turning her head to
look at him she held the pencil toward
her n%eighbor saying, Il wish you would
sharpen my pencil"
He sharpened it and offered it to her.
She took it without a look or other ac-
acknowledgement of the favor. He and
the other witnesses of the scene looked
on in awestruck silence. while the little
woman alternately scrubbed with pursed
up lips or sucked her pencil with wrink-
led brow. She changed cars at Chat
ham square, looking neither to the right
or left.-N. Y. Sun.

Ohio m

Mr.. Dom Piatt has for several years
lived quietly on a farm in the richest
agricultural region of Ohio. He has not
forgotten his habits of observation since
retiring from journalism, as the following
talk with a Herald reporter sufficiently
indicates.
But farmers have prospered?
"Only in one way. We nave gained
but this increase tells against us in the
end. In my locality, for example, land
was bought from the government eighty
years ago at $l.25 per acre. 1t is row
taxed from $50 to $l00."
No farmers in Ohio can better himself
now by moving further West. Now, in
my neighborhood, counting the value of
the farm, the cost of labor and that of
fencing and farm implements, and the
cost and keeping Of work horses, no man
c~anraise wheat at less than 81 a bushel.
1t is seldom We get 81. This year we
sold at ninety cents. | speak of wheat,
because 1t is our main staple"
THE FARMERS HARD LOT.
But those farmers exhibit in their
improvements evidence of prosperity 2"
Yes, and if, for sixty years, a man
will work from before daylight until after
night, work 10 all seasons like a mule
making himself, in addition, a hard task
master to his family-eating what he
cant sell and wearing next to nothing,
he will before he dies, be able to build a
barn at a cost Of say $500 and a frame
house at twice that amount. Why, the
fencing alone Is getting to be a greater
burden than he can bear. If the farmers
of Ohio, under the present regulations,
were called upon TO rebuild the fences
they have would be bankrupted. 1t could
not be done, and yet these fences must
be rebuilt every ten years"
ITO what do you refer when you speak
of present regulations? -
THE Tariff M THE FARMERS.
Il mean the monopoly given lumber
men and dealers in iron by the govern
ment. Every year timber gets scarcer,
and, of course more valuable. Barbed
wire, the only article to replace wood, is
held by a monopoly made by the govern
ment. 1t is SO arranged that a farmer
shall buy all he needs to buy under pro>
lection and sell under free trade. All |
wear, all | use in by business, from a tin
pan to a mirror, is forced up by law to
twice its value, while all my products sold
at home or abroad have the price fixed
by competitor in Europe. This is free
trade to me. Talk of pauper labor.
Why. my wheat, for example, at Liver
pool. where | am forced to sell, if | sell
at all, comes in competition with that of
the Baltic, where a laborer works for $l8
a year and a goatskin coat; or with the
wheat of Egypt, where the man labor.
for a bare substance. That is our sys,
TEN, and it is unjust to the industry Of
our country"
