EUROPEAN AGRICULTURE.
Some Observations by a Kansas Agricul-
tuFist.

cultural college spent 1895 In Europe.
He made speciality Of investigating
agricultural conditions. The follow.
ing Is the closing summary and con.
clusioDs of his paper on the subject
before the Board Of Agriculture:
In this brief glance at European
agriculture In comparison with our
own, find some striking contrasts,
and some, to my mind, interesting sug-
gestions. A few of these may be
briefly enumerated:
/. Crops are generally In compare
lively small plats, sometimes very
small.
2. AL crops are In perfect tillsge,
and free from weeds, except where
cornfowers, poppies and mustard in
fest the small grains.
3. Farm buildings seem inferior and
announcement though closely clustered
and sheltered by trees,
4. Farm implements are everywhere
limited in quantity and inferior In
quality to ours.
5. Hand tools seem generally clumsy,
and often peculiar to particular re-
gioDs, as If the farmers had been iso-
lated.
6. All crops are most carefully han
died and protected from loss In hsr.
vesting and storing, as If every kernel
had its value.
z. Rotation is evidently universal
and constant. Every farm seemed
laid out to serve the plan Of successive
crops and adjusted to each other.
8. Fertilization by all known pro
cesses is enormous, and lands are
cropped prOportionally.
9. The variety of crops on every
farm is striking, and the importance Of
forage crops for soiling purposes, In
place of pasture, 10 marked.
10. Live stock, especially beef cattle
seem remarkably uniform for large
regions Of country. The type for all
forms seems fixed by custom.
IL. Small cattle, especially sheep
are considered evidently an important
feature Of thrift everywhere.
l2. Farm help seems everywhere
abundant, permanent, Skillful sllt
cheap.
CONCLUSIONS.
The relation Of European SRricul
ture to our own is quite remote II
methods and In character. We cal
learn few lessons In thrift, and NOR,
In preserving fertility. We can be
come more selfsupportlng In on
farming by employing their variet,
Of crops. But In the main, we In th
West must follow our better ways o
handling the great food staples Of th
world. In these we can compete sue
cessfully even across the Atlantic. w
need, however, to study more carefully
our market. We are now taking tn,
markets Of England with fresh AM
canned meats, canned fruits and cheese
A farmer expressed to me his DISCUS
at the sale of American cheese at hal
the price of the English, "snd," sal
he, "that isn't the worst of 1t; ou
people are learning to like America
cheese" Now we must continue t
make the English like our products b

long established tastes of q peopl

Cardinal eibbsns' Letter.

Says the Cecil Democrat: In view Of
tlneo conspicuous political position now be-
! assumed BY The A. r. A. Organization,
and its evident intention 10 thrust itself
into ell branches OF our government. the
following letter from Cardinal Gibbons, in
reply to como questions addressed him
upon the subject, Is well worth considera.
ton:
Ny dear Sir 1T Is the duty of the
leaders Of political parties TO express them
selves without any equivocation on the
principles Of religious freedom which un.
lie our constitution.
Catholics are devoted to both the great
political parties of the country and each
individual Is lefs entirely to his own con.
science. We are proud to say that In the
long history Of the government of the
United States the great Catholic Church
has neve. used or perverted its acknowl
edged power by seeking to make politics
subserve its own advancement.
Moreover, II Is our proud boast that we
have never interfered with the civil and
political rights OF any who differ from us
in religion. We demand the same rights
for ourselves and nothing more, and will
be content with nothing less.
Not only is il the duty Of all parties dis
tinctly TO set their faces against the false
and un-American principles thrust forward
Of late, but much as would regret the en-.
tire identification of any religious body as
such with any political party, am con-
WINGED that the members of a religious
body whose rights, civil and religious, are
attacked will naturally and unanimously
espouse the cause of the party which has
the courage to openly avow the principles
of civil and religious liberty according to
THE constitution.
Patience is virtue, but il is not the only
virtue; when pushed too far it may degen-
crate into pusillanimity.
Yours faithfully.

The stable together with its contents be.

near Newport, were destroyed by fire ON
Wednesday last. The burning building

late to save anything, The fire was started
by a small colored boy about eight years
Of age. who confessed to his grandmother,
and to the sons of Mr.. Budd that he lit a
match In some straw in the Stable and
when the fire blazed up he shut the door
and ran. The boy was given q good sound
thrashing and let loose. Mrs Budd, who
