European countries rave V times
the population Of the United States;
yet we have 65 pei cent as many cattle.
80 per cent as many hogs and 40 per
cent asrmany sheep. Moreover, the
European meat supply is growing less,
both absolutely and relative 20 popula-
ton. In 1875 France had 1873 head
of live slockl,per 1000 acres of terri
tory. NOW she has 164 head, and
Denmark has dropped back from 1877
to ll5 ,head OF live stock per 1000
acres. The combined population OF
Germany, France, Austria, Hungary,
Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, hol-
land and Belgium IN 1875 was l4O,-
900, 900; IN 1900 $4,000, 900, an in
crease of % per cent, while cattle
herds have only increased 20 per cent
and sheep, hogs and goats have shown
"a startling falling off. 1t is not strange
that whereas, in 1874, the United
Kingdom imported 26O,0 600 tons of
for, ign meat, in 1900 the import was
our times greater. The population
has increased 80 per cent, while
British herds and hocks decreased. A
contemplation OF these figures shows
that steady influences are at work to
enhance live stock prices. There may
be temporary recessiOns, but the
average tendency must be upward the
demand is steadily increasing faster
than the supply. The world must pay
more or sink to a vegetarian diet. In
our country the general increase OF
wages which marked the closing months
of 1902 will make a larger meat con-
sumption per capita and this influence
will add its weight to the growing
foreign shortage.

FoRDHAm COLLEGE FARM.
Sixty Acres on Which Are Grown
Vegetables for establishments.

ST. John college at Fordham, y. Y.
is one of the largest farmers OF the
Bronx. The glebe lands of the col
Iege, closely bordering Bronx park. are
about sixty acres in extent. Here the
farmer of the college grows hay and
corn for nearly a score of COWS and
keeps n walled garden in which are
grown fresh vegetables for the table.
The whole arrangement smacks of the
medieval monastery, says the New
York Times, only the clergy do not
work the glebe. Nevertheless ST
johns is the only college in New York
city that in part supplies its own table
from its own land. The score of COWS
do not give enough milk for the needs
of the college and the products of the
garden must be supplemented FROM
the markets, but the whole situation
serves to recall a time when st. Johns
was really in the country, when the
great, ugly town had not penetrated
the grounds and the smiling glebe
lands actually produced enough TO feed
both teachers and pupils.
The long row of farm buildings and
especially the old-fashloned barn with
its dependent cowsheds bespeak the
earlier conditions. A long, narrow farm
lane lined with giant elns leads east
ward TO the rear fields of the glebe and
still looks as ii must have looked when
all the region round was yet unspoiled
country The farmer lives in one of
the row of farm buildings. and the
strange impertinence of a chiId's cart
in the college garden indicates the
presence of the lay element
Oddly mixed with farming imple-
ments are old desks and chairs from
the school-room. and ola furniture of
various kinds from the lodgings of
the teachers and students. while
priests In long robe and biretta occa.
sionally take their constitutional along
the farm lane in the wake of the farm
er and his laborers.
How long st. Johns can maintain its
old farming traditions nobody can tell,
but the time must come when it will
no longer be profitable to keep the
glebe under cultivation. The yearly
growing beauty of Bronx park is con
stantly adding to the value of the
glebe. and the development of the
whole region round about 1t is contrib
utng TO the same thing Already the
extension of the elevated railroad TO
the entrance of the park has taken
considerable slice off the fine old col
iege campus. and some years ago the
college authorities leyeled a bit Of the
ground to the north Of the campus
proper. as if in anticipation OF time
when the campus might be extended in
that direction. The time will surely
come when the glebe will be further
narrowed by the sale Of portions not
needed for ordinary college purposes,
and the farm will be merely a ira
dition.
