CoNyIC1S AND FARMS.

Referring to the statement that the
directors of the penitentiary are look
ing about with the view of renting or
leasing another farm, the Newbern
Journal calls attention to the fact that
the State owns immense tracts Of fer
tile swamp land which are admirably
adapted for convict farm.
The Journal maintains that the best
thing TO do with the convicts is TO
put them on the public roads. It is
right, but the directors of the peniten-
tiary cannot thus employ them unless
the counties viii pay the support Of
the convicts, buy the necessary mater
ial, and implements. The duty Of the
directors of the penitentiary is to
make it self-supporting. If the State
lands can be utilized so as to bring in
early returns, they ought to be used
instead Of renting from private par
ties. If it would require large ex-
penditure Of money to make these
lands available, the Legislature ought
to appropriate it and use these lands.

Deriine OF British Farming.

The British Board of Agriculture has
Just issued its official figures for 1895.
which tell an interesting and signif-
cant story, incidentally 1t appeu~s that
the extent of woodlands In Gre. Brit
ain Is 2,726,000 acres, of which 1872, 900
acres have been planted In the last
fifteen years. During the last year
there has been a gain of about $1,000
acres. The most striking figures relate
to the shrinkage In the amount of land
under the plow. which was increased
by the u%npropitions character of the
autumn seed time OF 1894 ana early
spring OF 1895. More than $4,000
acres less Of wheat we're grown and ST.
600 acres less of minor grain crops, rye.
beans and peas. Onc-nfth part Of the
surface withdrawn from these crops or
from wheat was devoted to bar, Y and
oats; but the corn land of 1895 was less
by nearly a55. ZOO acres than that OF
1871, while weather conditions, check
ing the preparation Of the customary
area FOR turnips and other green crops,
caused a further reduction of 112,0 900
acres under this cultivation. The sur
race under potatoes, small fruit, lu.
cerne and fax was larger by As, 700
acres, n the acreage left under bare
taliow was extended by nearly 100, goo
acres.
The net reduction OF arabic land was
$4,000 acres, aud the net addition TO
the permanent pasture n little over
l4o,OOO acres. The actual loss OF arabic
area In the last two decades Is 2,137,-
ooo acres. The reduction OF wheat
growing alone accounts for most Of this
loss, Under this head there was a total
diminution OF more than 300, 900 acres
etween 1875 and 1895. More than a
third OF the decline In the arabic area.
ana more than half of this reduction
IN wheat acreage, occurred In the last
hve years OF the twenty.

premier Castillo OF spain Eaiks Tlain to
the Cortes.
MADRID, Aug. l0.-There was a long
debate over the budget in the chamber
of deputies yesterday which had es-
pecial interest in view Of the riots in
the province of Valencia over the im.
position of fresh taxes and the dissat-
.isfaction over tho war in Cuba. Senior
Maret criticised the dangerous gov.
eminent projects.
Premier Canovas del Castillo replied
as follows: "Tbe government only
desires To meet the nece ~ssitics of the
b war which, having spread over
the whole island. prevents Cuba from
contributing for it's cost. Therefore
an extraordinary budget is neces-
snry. The government has already
been authorized to borrow SOC, 900, 900
pesetas $500, 600, 0OGD, but to apply to
the bank of Spain for such "a loan
would make the fiduciary circulation
enormous. | cannot content myself
with the proposals of the liberal MI
nority."
Senior Silvela, the leader of the dis
senting conservatives, questioned the
government as to the duratj n of the
war in Cuba and Senior Ca ovas re-
plled that the rebels would never van
quish the Spanish army. Unless this
happened he refused to believe that
the Spanish people would become tired
OF the war. Ia hat case he would
renounce public life forever. This as.
sertion was treated with cheers. Spain
was determined at all hazards to main
tain her sovereignty in Cuba.

Great applause and cheering.)
There were 500 people gathered
around the depot when the train

There was no demonstration Of any

This gave Fletcher, who is one of the
Professors bost pupils, another advan-
tage. However, ii was a close contest on
both sides. There were three one minute
rounds. In the first keenan, led of but

however, broke away when the minute
