not make a good farmer or a good farm.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July J, is95.-
One Of the most interesting characters
in President Clevelands cabinet is the
Hon. Julius Sterling Morton, the new
secretary OF agriculture. lie has come
TO Washington with a brain well sharp.
ened by It's contract with the business Of
the west. lie brings new light into the
agricultural department, and he prom.
ises to turn some OF Uncle Jerry Rusk's
institutions upside down. spent an
evening this week with him in his
bachelor quarters at the Cochran hotel.
lie Is, you know, a widower, and he
lives very quietly, though he is not
averse to society, and is one OF the most
companionable Of men. Let me tell
you how he looks. Gov. Morton is
about FIVE feet seven inches high, and
he weighs just about $50 pounds. His
shoulders are broad and his limbs are
clean cut. He does not look to be
more than fifty years Of age, but he is
over sixty and is still in his prime. He
has a light complexion, light gray hair
and a gray mustache, with the shadow
Of a gray goatee shining out from under
il. He has a high forehead, strong
nose and pleasant mouth. lie dresses
more like a New York club man than
the typical farmer statesman, and he
would not be out Of place in any crowd
OF gentlemen in New York or Chicago.
When called upon him he was dressed
in well-eut business suit OF light gray,
and pair Of fashionable yellow shoes
shone out below his well.creased panta.
looms. A diamond as large as the end
Of my thumb sparkled In a ring on one
OF the fingers Of his left hand and a
costly scarf pin had place In his neck

Uncle Jerry Rusk, whom saw just be.

ing is wearing out some Of the best
farms Of the country, and the limit OF
cuitivable lands has been nearly reach
ed. We double our population every
twenty-five years. In quarter Of a
century we will have 10000 600 to feed
instead Of 6sooo, 900, and their food is
all TO come from the soil Of the farmer.
The result is that lands must rise aud
farm products will increase In price.
The Law OF supply aud demand makes
It certain that farm property will be the
most valuable Of al property In the
future, and the farmers will be the
nabobs.'
MONEY IN NEW ENGLAND FARMS.
"Will we have large farms or small
farms in the future, Mr. Secretary" !
asked.
81 think the tendency Is toward small
farms. Our farms will be more like
those OF France. The land will be bet
ter tiled and the deserted farms will
be brought up. Take the abandoned
farms of New England. ! believe that
the next great emigration Of Our farmers
will be to the New England states.
Land has dropped down In certain parts
/ Of these states so that you can buy
/ tracts which we're once cultivated for

These lands have been abandoned by
/ their owners going to the west. They
