IL has been said that Miss Hoyt would

In England the matter IS receiving

AGRICULTURE IN RUSSIA.

OF agricultural education was elaborated.

The TOrrens Law.

The working Of the ToIrens system Of
land transfer in Illinois shows that the
farmer may By means Of it greatly i'm
proye his position as borrower. Under
the existing system land is not good
collateral because it cannot be quickly
transferred, but the Torrens system, ac-
cording to the New York Commercial,
changes all that Landowners " say:
our contemporary, find that one ad'
vantage OF the new system is that II
makes their property easily available
as al asset on which loans may
be secured with but slight loss OF
time. Formerly, as a rule, none but
loans having a long time to run were
made on land, because the search
ing Of titles involved so much labor
time and expense but under the Toirens
system. it is claimed. go or 80 day
loans may be made on real estate as
easily and simply as on stocks. The
Chicago Record reports that recently a
loan was made on a Torrens certificate
of title, and that the time devotfd to
the transaction in the recorders office
was only 10 minutes 1t is expected
that the number of registered titles
will increase very rapidly as the ad-
vantages of the system come TO be more
generally understood. "
Under the Torens system titles are
registered by a State official and Aud

made, by the mere issue of a new GER
tifcate Of ownership, as is done when
railroad or other stock is transferred to

FARMING TRUSTS.

In conclusion, the witness stated that
there is trust movement among
sgriculturists which has obtained
successful foothold after many failures.
and he proceeded to reclte the names
Of associations of farmers in this
country commonly termed cooperative
but which, he said. were in many
intances virtual trusts. Among others,
he cited the Milk Producers Union
that supplies Boston with milk and
fixes the prices for each year the Gall
fornis fruit growers and associations
in Florida, western New York, New
Jersey, Ohio, Michigan and elsewhere.
Whatever legislation is to be enacted
with regard to trusts, be said, must
necessarily apply to the farmers move
ment and he begged to suggest that 1t
should not be enacted without recog-
milton of the fact that this movement
has been beneficial in no unreasonable
sense to large fraction Of producers.
Individual cooperation of all sorts
should be strengthened he submitted
bv legislation that will promote honesty
and this by means of examination and
publicity Of accounts and manner OF do
inc business. The curse of the cotton
states, the crop lien system, should be
gradually extinguished By limiting
the credit that may be placed on the
cotton crop TO some certain percentage
of its value and making this limit a
diminishing one year by year until
some low minimum Of ratio between
the credit and the value Of the Gro p
shall be reached.

TUTEs.

Mr.. True thought the time had come
for paid teachers for this work, which
is the plan adopted in France. These
paid teachers for the institute could
travel. visit the Department of Agri.
culture in this city and go elsewhere
whenever they saw an opportunity to
gather information Of interest to the
farmers In that way trained corps
of teachers could be established, and
they would do much to instruct the
farmers on advanced methods Of agri'
culture.
Another means for such education is
now being developed By the University

courses of home reading for farmers,
