1.5OO. 900 cattle, chiefly Holsteins. There
are 1,250, 900 hogs, more than 500, 900 horses
and $50, 900 sheep.
Some of the chief dairy regions are in
the north, and at Alkmar is a famous
cheese market, to which the people from
seventy or eighty villages bring in their
cheese for sale. Each cheese is marked
with the initials of it's maker. The stock
is spread out on waxed cloths, and is bought
by wholesale merchants, who ship it to all
parts of the world. Holland exported about
S., coo, goo worth of cheese In 1900, the bulk
of the product going to England, Belgium,
Germany and France.
Thousands of tons Of this are sold at
Alkmar, the stun being brought in in
wagons over the road, on barges up the
canals and by the small farmers in dog
carts. The price of cheese makes good or
bad times in the dairy regions, and by
the rise or fall OF a cent or so a pound
the farmer is happy or miserable.
am surprised to see how we'll the Dutch
care for their cattle. They treat them like
children, and are careful that nothing is
done to excite or disturb Them. On a cold
day IL in the fields they are ~blanketed, and
when hot the blankets are often kept on as
a protection from the flies. The cows are
fed in the fields. and the milking is done in
the pasture, the farmers claiming that the
animals should not be worried by being
driven into the stable. On large farms the
milk is collected by wagons, and on the
small ones the milkmaid often bring It in
themselves, using a yoke which fits over
the shoulders, with a bucket hung to each
end.
In France I found the cattle tied TO
stakes TO keep them from destroying the
crops next the pastures. Here in Holland
nothing is tetheTed or watched. There are
but few fences, but little canals two or
three feet wide take their places. The
gate to n field is often a drawbridge, which
is let down when the animals pass in or
out, hut at other times remains up. Other
bridges have gates built upon them, and
II looks funny to see such gates standing
here and there alone In the fields.
The farmers are everywhere thrifty.
Nothing goes to waste, The haystacks are

danger Of its being nirted through the
milk or into the eye Of the mixer"
In a room adjoining this was the cheese
room. with a hundred balls of fresh Edam
cheese on the racks. The cheese was of a
rich yellow color and more delicious than
any we have in the United States. l was
shown the cheese presses, ard as I exam
ined them l noticed some American oil
stoves on the shelves nearby, an evidence
that the American invasion has evidently
found its place in this out OF the way fac
tory. The old lady who owned the estab-
lishment explained the process of cheese
making, bobbing the gold horns over her
eyes to and fro as she did so.
I like the Dutch country people! They are
the Quaintest of all the characters of the
Netherlands, and they remind you OF the
pictures OF Holland you see in the galleries.
The people of the towns dress about the
same as we do, but in the back districts
are girls with lace caps and helmets OF
gold, silver and brass. and also corkscrew
gold horns sticking out on each side Of the
eyes. The women working in the fields
wear black hats and wide linen skirts, and
1t is not to find a young man
with a thick mop OF hair cut straight of ct
the neck, a richly embroidered shirt, a
roundabout with enormous silver buttons
and trousers CT velveteen which look like
enormous bags tied at the knee.
The Dutch are plain and simple in their
ways. They are sober look ", but they
can laugh upon occasions, and many of
them are hospitable.
More than half the farmers OF Holland
own the lands which they farm, but the
HOLDINGS are comparatively small. There
are not in the whole country 200 farms
each containing more than $50 acres, and
so, 600 OF the Yarns have each less than
fifteen acres. Indeed, a large part OF Hol-
land is tracts of heath or OF swamp and
water. which are good for nothing. There
ere 1850, 900 acres in pasture, and more
than 600 Geo acres in forests, so that the
hand actually cultivated does not comprise
more than One-third of the country.
The people are more devoted to stock
farming and ~dairying than to tilllng the
soil. The country raises excellent grass,
and there are now here something like

thought of his English rival. Oddly

but show men this metal. Let him
produce it,
And then NJ. Verne surprised his
caller again by disclaiming having an
ticipated modern invention.
People are kind enough to say So"
said Jules Verne. ct is fiattering, but,
as fact, it is not true"
But you submarines?' was insisted.
"Bah!' cried the author, 'the Italians
had invented submarine boats sixty
years before I created Memo and his
boat. There is no connection between
my boat and those now existing. These
latter are worked by mechanical means.
My hero, Memo, being miSanthropist,
and wishing to have nothing to do with
the land, gets his motive force, cleo
tricity, from the sea. There is scientific
basis for that, for the sea contains
stores of electric force, just as the
earth does. But how to get at this
force has never been discovered, and
so have invented nothing" H. C.
