Mexican Railroad Finances.

The annual report of the Mexican
Central railway has some significant
figures well worth the study of all
those who wish to invest in Mexican
securities and Industries. The total
gross gain for 1900 was 81 .997 .122. The
bulk of this advance on the Receipts
of 1898 was made up of an increase in
local freight and local passenger busi-
ness. The former showed n gain of
M.175,6SO and the latter S3O9,554. In
ternational freight showed gain of
S42O266 and international passenger
business of SOB. 1t will be seen that
the local business was the chief factor
in putting the Mexican Central where
1t could meet all its interest without
drawing upon the banked-up subsidy
fund as in previous years. The year
lSW was banner year for the gov
ernment of Mexico and for the Central
railway.

agriculture, says: Figure No. 1
shows the position and distribution of
the corn roots IN the soil to a depth
of Az feet, and indicates the Office of
each class, and their orderly arrange
ment and development at a certain
time for a certain work. The seed
roots sustain the bud until the first
green leaf appears. The first roots
then follow and seek the surface soil,
which first feels the suns warmth.
These are in turn supplanted by the
first circle roots that radiate from
the butt end of the stalk like the ribs
of an umbrella from the shaft and
spread out on lower level, usually
five to ten inches below the surface,
and often exceed eight feet In length.
These first circle roots are the main
food gatherers, and send out numerous
fbrous branches in the direction
where water and food are most abun-
dant and temperature most favorable.
The second and subsequent circle roots
developing one after another as the
plant increases III height and the soil
is warmed to greater depth, seek the
subsoil and rarely spread out on the
surface. Figures 2, 3, and show
such roots, which were followed to a
depth of Az feet with no terminal
point in sight

Cost OF Pork.

The cost of pork per pound largely.
regulates the opinions in which farm,
ers hold swine raising. In some locali-
ties the farmers claim that they can
buy even their own pork cheaper than
they can raise it Where such opin-s
ions prevail it is evident that the
raisers of swine have been unfortu-
nate in their experiences in producing
pork or else do not know what it has
really cost them to produce it At.
some experiments carried on at the
Maryland Experiment Station it was
demonstrated that on certain foods
pork can be made at cost of 2z
cents per pound. This of course can
be done only under favorable circum-
stances and where the pigs are kept
in healthful conditions. If a large per
cent of the herd is to be permitted to
die of the cholera of course it will not
be possible to raise pork at any such
figure. AS to the cost of pork produc-
ton, everything depends on the cir
cumstances in which the feeder finds
himself, for some have access to cheap
feeds that are not in the reach of other
farmers. Thus some farmers live near
creameries where the skimmilk is not
valued as it should be and is sold by
the creamery manager at one-haf cent
per gallon to anyone that will take it
away. The milk as producer of pork,
combined with other feeds. is worth
far more than this, and of course its
use by the pig raiser will result in
greatly reducing the cost of his prod
uct. 1t is also a we1l-established prin-
ciple that pork is produced cheapest
on young hogs.

true of the West, and unless the meth
DDS on some of our farms change, the
time is coming when the farms will
cease to give living. There are two
unfortunate classes OF men that try to
run farms; those that have money and
no brains for agricultural enterprises,
and those that have brains and no
money. The latter class is, however,
of the two the most likely to succeed.
In these days of agricultural colleges,
experiment stations and abundant op-
portunities there is no reason why the
man that has money cannot obtain
the necessary brain development to
help make a success of farming.
