Situation which Careful Farm
Book keeping shows.

The farmers in central New York
have received such an impressive les
son this season in the growing Of
wheat that profit and loss In the busi-
ness Is now for the first time subject
Of serious consideration. Whether TO
continue the buying of costly fertiliz-
ers and trying to raise a crop OF wheat
in competition with the great and
growing west and the Hessian fly or
adopt some other system OF farming,
and, if SO, what, is question or serl-
Gus, special and immediate interest to
the farmers in at least twenty counties
of central and western New York.
Aided by farmers institutes, expert
mental stations and the practical pres
entation OF farming methods by ac-
knowledged standard publications, the
agricultural people all over our coun-
try and especially in the Empire State
are beginning to keep books" and in
the account book of one Of our prac-
tical farmers is found, for the season
Of 1901, the following estimated cost
OF growing one acre of wheat: Plow-
ing, SO; narrowing, rolling, drilling,
$3 seed, $3.50; phosphate, 81; thrash
ing, 81; total cost, S10.50. The product
OF the field was an average of twenty
bushels. which is probably a liberal
average in central and western New
York and the charge for thrashing
does not include the feeding OF horses
.. a dinner for hungry men. The
credit side had twenty bushels OF
wheat at 20 cents n bushel, or bal
ance for one acre Of $3.50. Deduct
from this the interest on the land at
$50 an acre, which is $3.50, and we
have 81 left for taxes, insurance and
a new point for the plow.
The continued low price for wheat In
all OF this section, taken in connection
with losses by the chinch bug, the spar
row and the Hessian fly, has com
PEELED our farmers to consider whether
there may not be some product substi-
tuted in the place Of wheat in at least
q part of farm management.
The discussion has not yet become
general, but up to this time the predom-
mating opinion is for the raising Of cat
tie for the dairy or beef or for both,
and the inducement for this change is
the belief that beef, in average price,
will never be lower and that wheat Will
never be higher; that the ranges on the
vast plains OF the middle west are fast
decreasing as pastures and are being
taken up as farms for the growing OF
wheat and corn.

Nifrnfea In the Soil

The continuous growing of wheat or
other grain or of a cultivated crop not
only rapidly deplctes the soil Of organ
ic matter. but causes the rapid forma-
ton of nitrateS, which are likely to be
washed down in the soil below the
reach of the roots Of plants. In expert
ments by Professor Ladd of North Da-
kota the largest amount of nitrates
was found at a depth of three feet in
bare fallow. while at a depth of seven
feet the amount of nitrates was larger
than at depth of one foot. 1t is evi-
dent that the nitrates found were
leached down from above. The impor-
tance Of proper rotation and of catch
crops to take up and hold the nitrates
is Tins shown

The Working Cow.

In some parts of Europe they make
practice Of working cows in the yoke
MS we do or used to do oxen, excepting
that possibly as they want milk they
are careful to feed well and not over
work. This led to series of expert
ments at Stockholm, Sweden, in test
ing the milk of cows SO treated, and
they found that the milk was reduced
in quantity by the exercise, but its
quality was so much richer in butter
fat that the working cows actually pro-
duced more butter than cows equally
good that had no other exercise than
they found in gathering their food in
the pastures. This opens up a new
possibility, remarks American Cultiva-

AN EBB N PENSIONS.

Abundant evidence can be found in the report
of the Auditor for the Interior Department,
ISSUED few days ago, 70 sustain the contention
that the nations expenditures for pensions are
certain TO show from now on a more and more
material shrinka &c. So much loose talk is atoat
about high water marks" IN the pension list
and high tides in pension payments that the
real ebb toward a more moderate average OF
disbursements is too commonly lost sight of.
Great stress was laid this year by critics who
rhronicaIly assafl the openhanded liberality of
our pension system, the fact that the total
number of pensioners on the rolls had mounted
n little nearer than ever to the million mark
On July 1, according TO the calculations of the
Commissioner Of Pensions there were 999,446
names in all the agency lists. But little or
10 attention was given TO the fact that for four
wears past in spite Of the adjudication of be
tween 100000 and 100000 new claims, there
has been practically no expansion whatever Of
the pension roll. On July i, 1901, the number of
persons entitled TO draw pensions was 997, 13o;
on July /, 1900, it was $685.. Nine years ago.
dong before the rush of applications under the
Dependent Pension act of 1899 had spent itself
the total was 966.012. The slight increases
made since 1897 have plainly testified, in fact
to the gradual exhaustion Of the extraordinary
pressure for enrolment created by that most
be surprising if. with continuance Of the
bureau's present policy Of pushing the adjust
rnent of outstanding claims. the pension list
should next year pass the million mark. But
indications point decidedly to reaction there
af.er-a drop which will carry the total gradu-
ally back to where it stood some ten even
fifteen years ago.
In reality. although the pension list grew
little In the last twelvemonth disbursements
through the agencies actually decreased The
Auditor for the Interior Department reports
that the sum actually spent for pensions was
S137, 40o741 This is million less than the
total for 190ofo1, and is the smallest amount
disbursed in any year since 1892. Five years
ago when but 993, ia names were on the rolls
the payments made aggregated S144,500,0o0. In
1892 49, when there were but 966,012 pension
ers. the sum paid out reached the record
breaking figure of s156,S0653Z In ten years
therefore the annual pension charge has fallen
over $4,000 600; and it is fair to presume that
the influences which have contributed TO this
decline will continue TO operate during the
next decade.
There are, of course, some uncertain and dis
aufbing factors IN the pension problem. The
war with SPAIN brief and comparatively blood
sess as 1t was, has laid a burden on the Treasury
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1902-09-02

vaar there were some $4,000 claims on file ID

tbe war with Spain and in the campaigns
AGAINST the Philippine insurgents. Possibly
e1ch applications may continue to he made Tor

THE DISK OE A BOSS.

Mournful whispers cross the sea limiting that
the cream in Mr.. Cookers dairy farm at want
age has curdled, and that he has been almost
as unlucky with his churns with his race
horses. And current gossip lets loose an IN
nuendo TO the effect that he may come pack
TO New-York in order to replenish his depleted
bank account. If he should return he could Dol
reasonably expect hearty greeting Iammany
was never generous to the unsuccessful and IL
exhibits no impatient longing to renew Its &C
quaintance with it's former leader. Mr. Croker
in testifying oath before a committee OF the
NewYork Legislature said that his main object
in public life TO fill his own pockets And
for years he did fill them, almost to burst
ing at the expense of the taxpayers of New
York
His turf career has been a disastrous failure,
and his losses in racing have been exceedingly
heavy That IS well known and undlsputed on
both sides Of the Atlantic. His judgment con-
corning thoroughbred runners was never sound
and smart He was not brought up among
breeding FARMS he possessed no natural aptness
for discrimination with regard to horsefesh,
and when he had passed middle age he deladed
himself with an i'll grounded notion that he
knew great deal about pedigrees, blood lines,
ancestry and the relative merits of colts and
hllies. He never did. The one enthralifng con-
yiction of his soul was that the horse Dobbns
that won several stakes carrying his colors
was the most wonderful creature on four legs
which the world ever looked upon. The plain,
naked truth is that Dobbins was never even
second class racer, and that since the first Ep-
som Derby was decided thousands Of faster,
drawer, better animals than Dobbins have been
defeated on the racetracks of various coun-
tries.
Mr.. Croker's idolatrous worship OF Dobbins,
not a mighty champion. proved that he was
narrow and prejudiced in his ideas of sports.
And his peculiar methods in politics, as shown
In his local campaign for Bryan in 1900 and at
other times and on other occasions, convinced
intelligent Americans that he had little insight
into national issues. little mastery of the great
questions which help or hinder the progress of
a puissant nation.
Devery and Croker are about on a par with
respect TO intellects. But Mr. Croker is hone
lessly a back number, shifting swiftly out of
sight, while big burly Devery is still the cen

UNEVEN RUNNERS.

People who know a great deal ABOUT racing
wonder why Mr. John A. brakes savaole ran
like selling platter at times IN chicago and IN
Saratoga and then won the rich Futurity
Stakes at Sheepshead Bay. ASK the betting
ring There was great deal of acrid criticism
of Mr.. brakes betting on the British turf, while
Mr. Wishard, now MI brakes trainer, was
generally looked unon as one of the shrewdest
keenest and most cunning Yankees ever seen
on an English racetrack. 1t is likely that Mr.
Drake and Mr.. Wishard will confine their turf
operations hereafter to the winning of Ameri-
can Derbies in Chicago with horses Of the
Uyeth type and of Futurities In New-York
with colts of the Savabe stamp, and will not
undertake campaigns at EPSON and New
market at Ascot and Goodwood, at sandown
and Kempton and Doncaster-
If they spent too much time abroad they
might be asked questions now and then as to
the occasional in-and-out running of some of
their horses But Americans are too amiable to
find fault
