Abandoned Farms Pay.

The great mass of conservative opin-
ion seems to be firmly set against ad-
vising the public to buy cheap lands.
'Ten dollar an acre land is no good for
farming" the experts say. Farming
requires more capital than formerly,
and the day Of general farming in the
East is past. A thousand dollars, at
least, is necessary. The best 'aban-
doned farms have been transformed
into summer homes; the others should
never have been attempted"
In the hope that there might be some
exceptions to these pessimistic state
ments, Country Life in America be-
gan an investigation which has brought
to light the following hopeful facts:
~ Many people have succeeded at
general farming within the last ten
years on land costing S. to $40 all
acre. ~ General farming Is often
better than special farming for the
beginner without experimental least
for the first year. (3) There IS plenty
Of suitable land in New England and
the South that can be bought for $40
an acre or less. (4) Much of this land
is not abandoned; it is still worked for
profit. It can be had at bargain prices
for three perfectly legitimate reasons
old age, ill health, the settlement Of an
estate. 90 People do not know how
to find out where these cheap lands are.

MODERN WHALING IMPLEMENTS.

The bit itself has cutters suitable for

which it operates is the same. no mat

angles to the centre line of the spin
die, just like any other boring hit. but
the square hole is formed by two mill
ing cutters, which revolvc parallel to
each other just back Of the principal
cutter and in a plane at right angles
to it. Our illustration shows the ar
rangement. The milling cutters have
faces broad enough to take out the cor

the result. Taking off both milling
cutters will give a round hole, and tax
ing off one will make the funnel-shaped
hole. A spiral or twist of metal on the
outside of the spindle conveys the chips
out of the mortise.

tho Making OF Temporary Advances
to Supper / tho Stability of b Crarr
Finances KokovGon's Statement Rs-
gardins tho Situation.
Paris, France.-M. Kokovson. former
Russian Minister OF Finance. who
came here to negotiate another Rus
sian loan, practically confirms the
statement that, the loan having been
postponed, French bankers are now
considering the. making of temporary
advances to support the stability of
Russian finances. In the course 6f an
interview M. Kokovsoff gave q state
ment relative to Russia's real fnanciafl
position. He said:
"The budget for 1906, which Is about
to be presented to the Council of the
Empire, comprises an extraordinary
budget Of $24G, 0 10000, of which only
S 5,0O0,OOO is covered by the excess OF
revenue from the ordinary budget.
Thus S241, 100000 remains to berpro-
vided. ... -@ ,&ef. q
"Three of the heaviest items includ-
ed therein are provision for the repa-
triation of the troops in the Far East,
their maintenance until their return TO
Russia and the reimbursement OF Ja-g
pans outlay for the Russian prisoners
of war. Other smaller extraordinary
expenses include the maintenance OF
the families of reservists. succor for
the victims of distress, railroad con-
struction, the mobilization of troops
owlngeto the strikes. and ~subventone
for the napbtha industry"
NJ KokoTa6Aa said Russia could
without difficulty issue ian internal
loan to meet these expenses. but III
was considered preferable not to foat
it until the second half Of the year II
order not to affect the proper admlnis-s
tration Of the national resources.
Therefore, he said, it was thought des
sirable to arrange for foreign operation
similar to that indicated, which would
be Of quite a normal character. i
conclusion M. KokovSof said:
"The difficulties through which we
have just passed, though grave. We're
never sufficiently serious to affect Rus
sian credit" .-,.
