sulting from this combination convinced
the agrieuiturists Of the East that COM
petition was hopeless, and those who did
not migrate for the purpose Of sharing
the wealth Of the new region. settled
down ct home With a conviction that a
living was about all they could expect
from their farms. This idea became
fEed, and II prevails to-day. The con-
ditions Of to-day convert it into a dis
tinct fallaoy.
Farm values In the West have increased
until they now approximate those OF
the East. Thus, dividing the total value
Of farm land with improvements, in
Guiding buildings, by the number OF
acres Of improved land, It appears that
an Illinois farm IL worth 500 per acre,
while New York State farms arc worth

now much more fruitful than the lands Of
the older States would be II they were in

price the farmer Of the East has an ad-
vantage in the markets A writer In the
Rural World estimates that the average
yield Of corn to the acre in New England

ing value Of t2h3O. On the same basis
the Illinois corn grower received only
NI23 per acre for his crop, while the
Iowa grower received only S1o75.
The principle involved In corn produc-
ton holds good with regard to other
crops. The missionaries who preach to
the Eastern farmer the opportunities
which lie in larger crops from smaller
acreage are doing good work, Under the
conditions Of to-day the farmer Of the
East is in good case to compete with the
farmer Of the West. His first step is 20

petition is hopeless. In that process the
missionaries are giving him assistance

getic Secretary Of Agriculture will do

GLAsGOW'S STREET. RAILWArS
Denial That the Municipality Pans To

To THE Enron Or TIE SUN Sir, Your

The wheel OF Yesterday.

One Of the magazines this month con-
tains twenty-five pages Of automobile
advertisements. while one-sixth Of
page is given TO the announcement Of a
bicycle factory. Nothing shows more
plainly the collapse Of interest in bicy-
cling than the disappearance Of the adj
vertisements that 3 few years ago filed
the business columns Of the press,
In no other leading country has this
form Of outdoor exercise declined so
largely as in America. Itisnot, however,
holding it's own in England against the
competition Of automobiles and golf;
and the ordinary wheel is being replaced
to some extent by the autocycle, But
there are probably ten common wheels
on the roads Of England now where
there Is one in our country. The same
may be said Of Germany and France;
and Switzerland last year with not
much more than half the population Of
New York State, imported 1880 bicycles,
in addition to its home manufacture.
The greatest pleasure in bicycling Is
in the country, away from crowded
streets. But wheeling on most Of our
country roads is about as pleasurable
as saving wood Their ruts, sand, soft
ness and mud did moro than anything
else to wear out the somewhat feverish
enthusiasm for the wheel between 1898
and 1898 The muscle and nerves Of
European wheelmen have been spared
most Of this onerous task, because their
roads are good
The mileage Of good common roads
in our country is increasing. and the
bicycle initiated the reform, Perhaps
we may never see another great bicycle
craze, but the merit Of wheeling as an
outdoor exercise is genuine, and the
tendency will be TO recognize it fully "a
