the unprogressive methods of the New ' ork former. I was simply astonished to see in that old, settled country, how little attention has been paid to scien- tific breeding of dairy cows. The herd as a rule are poorly bred. and with the prevailing high price of feeds, can give but a very small margin of profit. l am certainly surprised at their lack of ap- preciation of the value of improved breed- ing methods. In this respect the farmers there are much behind ours in Minne- sota. The silo, however, l found to be In general use, and this is good, so far as git goes.
 The remedy for the conditions there is, to my mind, to be found in more ana forestation of the hills and slopes, greater attention to the cultivation of apples and intensive farming of the land best fitted. for agricultural purposes. There Will al- ways be a good market for milk in New York, and the western apple can never drive out the New York product. The New York apple can hold its own against the world.
 Farms in the sections I visited are idicuiously low in price Many fine ones are on the market at less than the cost of the improvements that in their day have commanded more than $l00 per acre. They offer fine opportunities to the en- terprising farmer. I would not be afrai1 to tackle one of those farms myself. even at my age. and there would be money 1n 1t for me to sell my place down in Lyon County and begin life anew down there. I do not believe this condition will con when the eastern farms of the better grades are going to be in demand again and when agriculture will show distinct signs of revival"
