neither of these statements has any ac-
count been taken of seed, for In both
cases the seed was held out from tine
crop of the year before. However, on
the corn farm the seed was worth $lSo,
while on the wheat farm it was worth
about $1,000. If in both instances the
seed had been charged in expense ac-
count, the better profit in corn farming
would have shown more clearly.
Evidently farming isn't the most I'M
profitable business. According to the
United States census of 1890, Kansas
had in that year real estate mortgages
to the amount of $24S 600, 600 In eight
years she has reduced this sum to
about $60,000,000, showing profits, prin-
cipally on agriculture, so great that she
was able to spare $1SS, 0000 900 toward
the cancellation of debt, mostly owed
outside her borders. And the debts paid
do not represent all of the profits by
any means, for during the same eight
years enormous sums have been in
vested in new lands and improvements.

PROFITA BLE FARMING

In the spring the young mans fancy
sometimes lightly turns to farming,
even If the young man isn't a farmer
and doesn't have to encourage his fancy
who are not farmers will perhaps wish
they were when they read what Frank
Spearman has to say to them. In the
Review of Reviews Mr.. Spearman gives
the balance-sheet of six thousand
acre farm located in Iowa and devoted
largely to corn-growing. The land was
bought three years ago for $50 an acre
and with buildings and machinery rep
resents an investment of $25S,500. Some
3,700 acres were planted with corn last
year and 1900 were sown to wheat The
corn yield was 215,OOO bushels, or 60
bushels to the acre, which was worth at
80 cents bushel, $64500. The 1000
acres of wheat yielded 10000 bushels,
worth at SO cents $4,000. The two crops
together brought $74,5OO, and there was
an cat crop in addition, consumed on
the place Expenses amounted to $23,
644 and an allowance of per cent, de-
probation in buildings and Is per cent.
in machinery would bring the net profit
down to $43,454, or nearly II per cent
on the investment.
a Fol f0s
sheet is a wheat farm of equal size in
North Dakota. Mr.. Spearman has not
given us the value of the investment in
this case. The total operating expenses
were $20,99S; the wheat sold for $40,013,
and the profit amounted to $19,015 The
yield per acre was eighteen bushels,
which is less than the average yield on
the same farm for seventeen years. In

SUNDAY TRAINS.

| is 1t any more wicked to run steam
cars or ride in them between 1890 a. m
and D. m. Sunday than before 1890 or
after 3? This seems to be the question
before the house, the senate having de-
clded that 1T is not. Some years ago it
was perceived that New Haven and
Hartford were not likely to be made
Sodom and Gomorrah by Sunday trains
run in the early morning or late after
noon. This perception has turned out
to be correct and now there is a desire
to try an experiment in the hours which
have been closed. Probably the expert
ment will be allowed and probably it
will not be any more disastrous than
the other one was. Fear and trembling
accompanied the other one, and there is
some fear and trembling now in the
breasts Of those who remember the Sab
bath day and don't remember the great
and inevitable change that has taken
place in it's observance. There is still
room for discussion, we suppose, about
the moral quality of Sunday trains,
Sunday trolley cars and Sunday bicy-
Giles, but practically the discussion Is
about as profitable as the discussion of
"God in the constitution" If people
were angels and could fly we don't sup
pose it would be called wicked for them
to work their wings Sundays. Is 1t
really wicked for them to have and use
convenient methods of going from one
spot to another Sundays without
wings?
Let us not worry over another Sunday
train or two in hours which do not seem
to be really any more sacred than the
hours in which Sunday trains are now
allowed. 1t will be time enough to get
up on our hind legs and howl when the
legislature is asked to legalize Sunday
golf-playing. We are not sure that
that imported game ought to be allowed
eek-days. We hear that there is not
little actual profanity connected with
it, and that some of the words used to
describe what is done or attempted by
the players are not good Christian
words.

MFRS. PLACES FATE.

| After careful examination Of the
whole case Governor Roosevelt has
decided that he cannot interfere to
save Mrs. Place from the awful penal
ty of her awful crime His action was
based on reason and not on sentiment.
The woman was convicted of killing
her stepdaughter An appeal was TAX
en- from the verdict. 1t was denied by
the appellate division of the Supreme
court and by the unanimous decision
of the Court of Appeals. The Cover
nor asked the district attorney, the trial
Judge and the Court of Appeals judge
who wrote the final opinion whether
they believed there was any good rea-
son why the law should not be allowed
to take its course and they all said
they did not. He asked two reputable
physicians to inquire into the sanity Of
the woman. They found her sane, and
expressed the opinion that she had new
er been insane within the meaning of
the law. Therefore, the problem before
the Governor was simple. Either he
must indict the criminal system of the
State or he must refuse to interfere.
He chose the latter course, and decided
to allow the decision of the Court of
Appeals to stand
SO Mrs. Place will die in the electric
chair early next week unless she dies
in prison before then. There will be
some protest, and more feeling that a
woman ought not to be so treated. But
the obvious fact is that there is no sex
in crime and that the equal admins
tration of the law demands her death
as much as it demands the death Of a
male murderer. Perhaps there ought
not to be any capital punishment. We
are inclined to believe that it is not a
proper punishment or powerful de-
terrent. But it exists in New York,
and it has been made fully evident that
Mrs. Place deserves it if anybody does,
or if it is good for society.
