EDITOR JENNER FUsT of the NJ ontreal
Journal of agriculture very kindly
sends US the following cutting from the
E. glish Agricultural Gazette, which con-
tains probably as correct statement in
regard to the average crop of wheat in
England as can be had: "In 1889 the
average produce of wheat in England
and Wales was estimated by MacCul-
loch at 26 bushels per acre, and Mr..
Philip Pusey expressed hope that by
better selection of seed we might raise
this amount to q bushels per acre.
This was previous to the great stimulus
which agriculture was about to receive
from the application of science and the
formation of our great agricultural so.
cieties. The estimate of 26 bushels per
acre, which appeared satisfactory in
1889, has no doubt been exceeded, but
not to the degree which might have
been anticipated. Probably no such
remarkable instance of agricultural de-
velopment has ever been, or is ever
likely to be, witnessed as that which
took place between 1910 and 1880, or
the forty years which followed the birth
of the Royal Agricultural Society.
How, then, did this great Improvement
in agriculture affect the average yield
of wheat in the United Kingdom? The
question may be answered as follows
The average estimated yield of wheat in
Great Britain during the most recent
years has been to the acre; in 1886,
269; 1887, 800; 1888, $50; 1889, % SO;
1890, 30.66; average over five years,
1929"
THE Gdzette'S statement is from the
pen of Principal Wrightson, of the ag-
ricultural college at Downton, near Sails
bury, Eng. Mr.. Jenner-Fust, in send
ing US this cutting, adds: "You will see
that in my letter / rather understated
the general average; and / can assure
you that my statement that forty bushels
an acre is what all good farmers in Eng
land, on good land, look for as rule, is
not too strong" Our friend is entirely
right in this assumption; but at the
same time we think we should be equally
justified in saying that the same class
of farmers in America would, under
like conditions, look for thirty-fve Oh
thirty-six bushels. An important ques
ton, then, in comparing the two coun
tries, would be, what is the relative
proportion of good farmers on goot
land in each?

difference in gross returns on the same
farm amounting to upwards of $4,000
would seem to leave less than no profit
at all, except by a proportional reduce
ton of expenses and of rent, of which
we have no statement. The more we
think of it, the more clear it seems that
there is bound to be strong tempta-
ton for even the most favorably stu
ated British farmer to emigrate to
America.
THERE is another point still to be
thought of in this connection. History
shows that the great development of
English agriculture came under the
pressure of the Napoleonic wars, which
made the importation of food products
extremely risky and expensive. A
similar state of things arose during our
civil war; but the demand was not met
by the development of better methods
of agriculture so much as by the open
ing up of the rich prairie lands of the
middle West, These lands are now los
ing their fresh fertility, and will require
a much better system of farming to en-
able them to supply the great home and
foreign demand for food products. The
chief obstacles that the English farmer
in America would encounter are the
differences of climate and his own pig
headed notion that everything that is
not English is wrong. He will doubt
less find many things in our agriculture
wrong; but unless be comes to his task
in the New World with unaccustomed
modesty, ne will find himself failing as
farmer even more sorrowfully than his
American neighbors.

THE peculiar qualification of the

"run out good land. No other man

it by the help of poor tools, poor tillage,

business.

Chief Among English NoveIists.

1t is not an extravagant estimate to
place Thomas Hardy at the head Of
living writer's of English fiction. His
style is a model of direct, purposeful
English, and his drawing of character
is so faithful and forcible as to make
the men and ome of his stories
stand out with a simple grandeur and
distinctness that sets them apart from
ordinary characters of fiction. They
are filled with the life and vitality Of
humanity. The pitiful or tragic fate
that sometimes overtakes them comes
as inevitably in the train If circum-
stances as the operation Of the laws Of
cause and effect in real life, and in pre-
senting the scenes of rustic happiness
or woe he has no living equal. Theirs
are rsssages of tragic power and poetic
beauty in his stories, but most of the
strong effects are produced by the SIM
pie. bold, direetness Of speech of which

tale in its issue and ending, but il must
