THE AMERICAN FARMER.

The American farmer is the greatest

America, which is agricultural. We

plate that wealth, very much in the
position of the Irishman who had to
look several times in order to see the
tall building-taking it little by little.
One section of the view is the informa.

products this year. Another ia that

nights dry spell. In single year the
milch-cows of the United States yield
product equal in value to one half OF
the capital of the Steel Trust-and
there are more COWS at the beginning
of the new year than there were be-

agriculturist, and the American farmer
is gaining in intelligence, in mastery
of his soil, and in fitness for political
power quite as rapidly as his products
are increasing in magnitude He may
be merely waiting to be organized In a

he may be slowly aud sadly reconcil-

South increases improvements in
the lines will follow. The past few
years have witnessed great improve.

construction is q costly business IL
these days of modern transportation,
in which the lowest grades, shortest
routes and most efficient rolling stock
aud methods of management are
among the very necessary economies,
ScrapIng off the mold and laying a
serpentine track is not building rail-
road of any value n.these days of i'm
proved railroading. Such roads may
be built as a matter of speculation, but
not for profitable operation. The Sou.
thern system consists of number Of
former independent lines, some OF
which have required vast improvement
to bring them mp to the necessary de-
gree of efficiency. In the develop
ment of industrial conditions there
has been no greater progress in any
