Figuring the Losses.

The cost of taking Port Arthur
and the loss in resistance by the de-
tenders is not yet known. Neither
the Japanese nor the Russians have
given definite statement of their
own loss in men or material. Occa-
sionally, after an assault, the Rus
slams would gil IN estimate of the
loss of the besiegers but never of
their own loss. The absurdity of
announcing the losses of the enemy
is apparent. 1t has been stated that
the loss on both sides at Port Arthur
is from 100000 to 10000 men.
Before the fall of the fortress but
few prisoners were taken by either
party. The japanese had but II
Russians captured before the sur
render and less than 100 Japanese
were in Port Arthur when it was
surrendered and nearly all of these
were picked up from wrecks out
side the harbor. Something like
10000 men, including the sick and
wounded, were surrendered by
Stoessel. The money value of the
losses is enormous. Russia lost
seven battleships, which with the
loss of the other compliments of her
fleet in the East cost over one hun
dred million dollars; Russia loses
Dalny where one hundred and
twenty-five million dollars had been
invested. She loses the most elabo-
rately constructed fortresses in the
world, stretching nine and one-half
miles across and sixteen miles inland !;
Port Arthur is gone that cost Rus
STA one hundred and forty million
dollars, money actually expended;
the railroad, costing millions, is lost.
The war material used in subduing
the forts and in their defense cost
probably one hundred million dol
lars. The japanese had 700 can
non pounding away at these forts
for months. The japanese fired r.
900 tons of shells and 100000
bullets and the Russians used an
equal amount of ammunition.

same by having the prescribed
penalties inflicted through proper
courts having jurisdiction"

Aericulture's Future Outlook.

From the Wisconsin Farmer.
The present outlook of the Amer
lean farmer is decidedly promising
for the following reasons: In no
country on the face of the earth is
the educational standard so high
among farmers as it is in America.
There is but little difference in the
educational attainments of the man
who owns the land, the tenant
farmer and the man whose only
capital is labor. This means that
class distinctions found abroad are
absent on American soil, and as a
result there are fewer loafers.
The second reason we would
mention in support of the statement
that the future of agriculture in
America is promising is that farmers
have come to realize before their
soil has become depleted that it is

The people of this generation live
better than did their ancestors. Nor
is there much difference in the style
of living among different classes of
people as concerns food. The same
luxuries that the richest purchase
the wage Garner can and does read
lily secure. This is apparent from
considering the amount of the i'm
ports of such food commodities as
sugar, tea, coffee, cocoa and tropical
fruits. In 1904 there was paid in
this country $45o,556,775 for tropi-
cal fruits-bananas, oranges, pine
apples, lemons, etc. Oranges and
bananas are as common here as po-
tatoes and onions, and were it not
for the cost of freight from their be-
ing brought long distance and the
profits of the middlemen in handling
these tropical fruits would be as
cheap as our own garden produce.

necessary to rotate crops, to keep
live stock and to return manure to
the land, in order that the soil may
be maintained in a productive con-
dition. The third reason is that we
have an almost boundless market
for all products of the farm, and are
only to a small extent dependent
upon expectation. However, if the
world desires larger supply of
good meat we can furnish it; the
same also is true of cotton and to
certain extent of wheat. The pro-
ducts of the dairy and poultry yard
are finding their way to foreign
markets, thus giving to the Ameri-
can farmer, as it were, a mortgage
on the gold of foreign countries.
The second question asked by
this subscriber is not one that would
ordinarily be conceived by an Amer
lean citizen. In no occupation, form
of business or profession do we find
such desirable independence as is to,
be found on the farms of America.
This is due to the fact that invest
ment in land is sure; the social stand
ing of the farmer as compared with
other classes is high; the daily bread
and cake, too, for that matter, are
raised right on the farm; rural mail
delivery brings every man in touch
with the central markets daily,
while the telephone is now about as
common in the farm homes of
America as in the cities. And in
the face of these conditions, how
could the American farmer be any
thing but independent, and how
could the investment in land be
otherwise than sure?
In regard to future legislation, we
can only say that such laws as are
placed on the statute books in the
future, and the manner of their en-
fcrcement, will depend entirely up
on the attitude of the majority of
the people. AS intelligence is al
ready high in America, the laws are
in the main just and we'll enforced.
That all laws are just and perfect
and well enforced no man will
claim, but it is conceded by all peo-
Piles that in America the function of
government is understood as well, if
not better, than can be found
among any other peoples. True,
there are many unsolved problems,
but the history of the past leads us
to believe that just legislation will
be enacted at about the right time.
