grand larceny. Zeisler is % years Of
age, and is the son of Hon. Jacob
Zeisler, Of st. Charles, Mo-. one of
the most prominent citizens of
that place. He is second
termer, having served a sentence
FROM Benton county. The uncle of
young Zeisler, Mr.. j. w. Bruins, of

letter, in which he stated that he was
of unsound mind, the result of se-
we're attack of meningitis when he was
z years old, and that he was hardly
responsible for the ofenses that he had
committed. Gov. Francis, in grant
ing the pardon, says, among other
things, that his action was on recon-
mendation of Judge RyIand, Prose
cutting Attorney Logan and seven of
the Jurors, and because he believes
from the evidence laid before him

The trouble with Farming.

4 The question is continually coming
up, why is the farming interest so de-
pressed! A number of causes are as.
signed, such as trusts, protective tariffs.
combinations against the farmers for
speculative purposes, exorbitant trans
portation rates, etc. But none Of these
furnish correct ISOLATION. The fact is
farmers, taking the country through
obtain less for their services than any
other class of laborers. The working
force of the United States is about 23,-
100000; of these about 10000, 900
are engaged in farming, and a capital Of
SIG, 900, ,000, 900 is invested in farms
and farm equipments. As things now
are these laborers and this capital are
employed to no profit The American
farmer finds it hard struggle to pay
his bills and educate his children. Mr..
G. Wood Davis, farmer located IN
Southern Kansas, has furnished a So
luton Of this difficult problem in the
April Forum. His position is that the
increase of production has been out of
proportion to the increase of population.
We are raising more than we can eat.
The foreign market is not large enough
to take the surplus off our hands. 1t is
a singular mal-adiustment Of affairs that
people should be starving to death in
our large cities while in Kansas corn is
used for fuel. The moral of the present
state of affairs is, that we must raise
less or eat more. Raising less means
that part of the force now engaged in
farming must be turned into other cham
nes, or there must be partial cessa-
ton of agricultural activity,or we must
secure a foreign market. Our over
production is the result of the use of
machinery whereby one man can now
accomplish as much as dozen could
formerly. But let Us see how Mr.. Da-
Wis figures out his problem. His posi-
ton is. that the causes that have led
to the present result were in operation
before the war but were postponed by
that event number Of years. During
a period of SO years ending in 1889 the
population Of the country increased %
per cent, while the number of farms
increased 260 per cent. Of the staple
crops, excepting pork and cotton, the
per cent Of increase ranged from cattle
al lS5 to oats at Ill. Nearly all kinds
Of food grew faster than the people and
some kinds more than twice as fast. If
the people were comfortably well sup
piled al the beginning of the period re-
ferred to. what must have been the CON
dition of supply at the end The in
crease in the production Of cotton has
been drawn away to foreign markets,
his country holding substantially the
ofthe cotton business of the
world. While the increase of swine
mas been less, the supply was greatly
IN excess of requirements at the begin
hing of the period. which accounts for
he fact that pork shares the depression
With other staples. While, with the
exception Of the war period, our growth
n population has been quite uniform. !
,ur growth in production has been SUBJ .
ect to variations. There have been

A writer for the New York Press
interviewed Col. Hooker on the sub
iect of farming in Vermont and his
views as expressed we give below and
who shall say he is not right.
asked Col. Hooker about the de-
cline of agriculture in the state and he
replied: \ great amount OF nonsense
has been written on that subject by
people who do not know anything
about it. Vermont is agriculturally
more prosperous to-day than for many
veors. We raise more horses, more
stock and more produce than ever.
Conditions have been changing, II is
true. but the conditions are not pro-
duced by tariff legislation. When
Vermont was originally settled the set
tiers were obliged TO raise crops or
starve. They had TO get upon the
mountains above the frost line. There
the clearing was easier, although the
soil was scant. As,the country grew
ND and the lower lands were occupied,
these higher tracts became unavailable
for farming and large tracts were al
lowed to grow mp into forests again.
These are the deserted farms about
which you hear so much, but a. fact
the forests are more valuable than the
land would be for farming.
