LITTLE MAN FRIDAY.

Like most boys dogs, Friday was a
mongrel 1t would be much easier to
say what he was not than what he
was, for he was neither retriever,
pointer, ST. Bernard, Newfoundland,
bull nor mastiff-nor anything else
that was well-bred or clearly defined;
but he was intelligence itself.
He was never tired, never cross; he
was always ready to eat or sleep lie
was of medium size, and he had a
yellow-brown coat Of short stiff hair
marked by dark stripe running down
his backbone. Nature had earelessly
given him four misllt feet much too
large for him. At first sight people
were apt to pity him for having to
carry about such length and weight
of caudal appendage as he had, and
declared he should have been divorced
from it in his earliest youth; but once
they saw the very tempest Of joy that
lumpy long tail could express-saw it
Ike a harp-string vibrating with love
and devotion-they felt there was not
one inch too much of it. In his ridic-
u,ous body he showed all the Eighty
activity Of a fox-terrier while in his
rare moments of quietude his face
were a truly m2siiI-.il.e gravity

THE COUNTRY'S FARMS.

We printed some days ago a brief
abstract of data compiled by the gov
eminent bureau of statistics going to
show that. whereas forty years ago
the farmers owned So per cent. of the
wealth of the country, now they own
but q per cent. of it. Some of our
contemporaries seem to take a wrong
view of this matter Apparently they
think that because the farmers have
not maintained relatively the position
among the wealth. owners of the coun-
try that they held forty years ago, they
have not been treated fairly; that they
have been oppressed by one means or
another in a most outrageous manner.
That the farmers have suffered OPP
preston at the hands of the Republi-
can party, through it's system of tariff
taxation, cannot be successfully denied;
nor is it unreasonable to believe that
under a fairer. more just system the
| farmers to-day would have owned
more than p per cent. of the country's
wealth. At the same time it is but
| just to call attention to the fact that
| forty years ago there was very little
manufacturing and but limited railroad
and telegraph interests in this coun-
try. We were an agricultural people,
not wholly but very nearly so. 1t would
not be difficult to go back to a time
when practically all of the wealth of
the country was in the hands of those
who titled the soil. But as the coun-
! try grew manufactures sprang up, rail-
roads We're built and new sources of
wealth were created. The adding of
these new sources of wealth to the
country's resources was no detraction
! from the value of the farmers hold
1 ings AS a matter of fact, they are
very good-the very best-things for the
farmers. Whatever increases the con-
Stunning capacity of the country is good
for the producers.
Meanwhile the number of farms in
the country in the past thirty years
has increased by 1S5 per cent, while
! the population during the same period
has increased lao per cent. The value
of farm property has increased 100 per
cent, and the value of implements and
machinery 209 per cent These are most
| gratifying figures. They show that the
farmers are not tagging behind in the
march of progress. They are more
than keeping step with the increase in
population. Some industries, II is true,
have grown more rapidly. but there Is
not one that is so firmly based as that
of farming.

THE SOUTH HAS NO COMPETITOR.

!
In the current number of the Manu-
facturers' Record there is a number
of articles on the question as to wheth-
| er the limit of cotton production i'll
| the South has been reached, and
among them is one by Mr.. Edward
! Atkinson of Boston that contains
great deal of information on the sub
| ject and is more convincing than any
of the others.
| During the Civil War Mr.. Atkinson
was cotton spinner and had occasion
to study the question of cotton produc-
| ton in the different parts of the
world. The conclusions at which he
| arrived then are those which he now
holds. He is firmly convinced that
there is only one place in the world
where cotton can be grown in compe-
tition with American cotton, and that
is on the high pampas of the Paraguay
and Parana rivers. There, cotton can
be grown, in his opinion, that is equal
in quality to the cotton grown in the
Southern States of this country And
it can be grown profitably, because the
land is very rich, producing abundant
ly both wheat and cotton. But it will
take fifty years, Mr.. Atkinson says,
for good government to reach that sec
ton, and good government is neces-
sary to cotton growing since. without
it. population of sufficient density to
insure enough hands in the picking
season cannot be obtained.
Mr. Atkinson reviews the efforts
England and Germany are making in
Africa to grow cotton, and points out
the reasons why they will fail. The
cotton grown there is of a poor quail
ty and doesn't come into competition
with American cotton. Neither does
the cotton of India, which is used only
for making the coarser and cheaper
cloths The cotton grown in Brazil
and Peru and other South American
countries is of very inferior quality.
Indeed, nowhere is there grown cotton
that completes with that of this coun-
try, though it seems that Russia has
found a place in Central Asia where
cotton is produced that seems to meet
the demands of the Russian spinners.
According to Mr.. Atkinson there are
conditions in the cotton belt of this
country favorable TO the growing Of
cotton that cannot be found elsewhere.
The rains come at about the right
time and there is a moisture from the
sea and the gulf that appears to be
just what the cotton plant wants. On
this point he says:
owing to the physical geography of
the cotton states and of Texas, the
mountains lying back of the cotton
lands on the Atlantic coast intercept
ing the humid atmosphere brought up
by the gulf stream leading to frequent
showers, seldom destructive rains, give
the ideal conditions for growing cot
ton on the uplands, and like measure
of humidity coming in from the Gulf
of Mexico renders the conditions of
the black lands of Alabama and of
Mississippi even more conducive to the
making of the best cotton of the green
seed variety, the great cotton of COM
merce."
Mr.. Atkinson regrets that there is no
competitor of the Southern States in
the production of cotton, for the rea-
son that if there were there would be
vast improvement in the methods of
cultivation, in the selection of the seed
and in baling the cotton In his opin-
ion there is great room for improve
ment.
