AGRICULTURE IN GERMANY.
Its Great Influence in the General Prog
ress of That Country.

Agriculture as a factor In German pros
perity is the subject of an official report by
United States Consul General Mason at
Berlin. During the past twenty years"
| says he in conclusion, Germany. notwith-
standing the rapid development of all man
| ufacturing industries, has largely increased
| her crops of grains, vegetables and fruits
and likewise of clover and hay. although
| the net area of grass lands has been actual
| ~ reduced by 33 per cent through meadows
and pastures being plowed up and devoted
| to other forms of cultivation Notwith-
standing this important reduction of grass
area, the numbers Of all kinds of domes lie
animals, except Sheep-Which play but a
small and unimpOrtant role in this country
| have largely increased, a result which has
| been made possible by the enhanced pro
| ductiyeness of meadows and pastures
through fertilIzing and better care and bv
| feeding with cut feed roots and cut forage
| plants in barns and stables stock which
| formerly grazed in the fields
Summing up the whole result 1t can lie
| said that the comparative success of Ger
man agriculture demonstrates the economic
| efficiency of the peasant farmer. who works
his own land in a tract sufficiently limited
| to enable. or rather compel him to culti-
vate it with intelligent economy and per-
sistent industry. Instead of the tenant sys-
tenn, which, has been shown in some
other European countries. means the grad

system of education, government stations

ling the empire to meet the demands OF a

The liberal expenditure for agricultural
| education and official aids TO husbandry
| has been thus repaid over and over again
! In Prussia alone there are nine agricultural
schools. and the annual expenditure made

literary faults are obvious, but following
this frank foreword 1t proceeds with dig

cency of the critic. It Is a record of real
life-the life of a peculiarly significant

HAS
LAST PRACTICE

Columbia has had her last practice
and Is ready 70 meet the football war
riors from Pennsylvania at American
League Park tomorrow.
The work OF the squad yesterday was
secret but Coach Morley explained
what had been done. The practice was
not exhausting, and several Of the reg
ulars were not In their positions, be-
cause they have slight strains and
bruises which were regarded more care
dully because the game with the
Quakers was the last Of the season for
Columbia. Morley said the speed and
concentration displayed were satisfac-
tory.
II Is expected that Columbia will be
able TO work with considerably more
abandon than the Quakers. because the
New Workers will be absolutely reck-
less, this being their asst game. The
visitors, on the other hand, have to meet
Cornell after they are through with
Columbia, and only Ave days intervene
between the two games. They will have

There appears to be little money being
bet on the game, out II Is thought that
wagering will become brisk as soon as
the Pennsylvania contingent arrives.
Some few bets at 1 10 | on the Quakers
have been made, but sooer-minded per-
sons consider these odds ridiculous.
