Strange Values Which Farmers Put ten
the Poor and the Coed onea

While on q visit to the University
Of Illinois. a representative of tho
Farmers Review had bis attention
called 70 the difference in prices Of
good and poor cows An Illustration
was at hand IN the prices paid for q
number Of different cows recently ses
cured from the Elgin district OF Illk
nois, in which good COW Is sup
posed to be appreciated and a poor
COW recognized as such. The uni
versity had occasion to secure a GER
tain number Of very good cows and q
like number Of very poor COWS. ana
Professor Fraser went out and hunted
them up. In Que herd he found a poor
COW which he secured for $40, and 8
very good COW which he secured for
s5S. Another poor COW was offered
him, the owner asking SIS for her. but
this animal was not taken, as this
price was too high The remarkable
thing about the transaction was that
the owner wanted only So more for
the good COW than for the poor one.
while she was In reality worth three
times the value Of the poor COW.
One Of the most remarkable things
about cow prices in the country is
that the farmers do not properly ap-
preciate the Inference between a COW
that pays a big profit and a COW that
pays no profit Tney place the prce
near together, on the general propo-
sition that "a COW is cow" This
sort of theory is costing the farmers
great revenues every year. At least
100000 cows in the state OF Illinois
do not pay cent profit Their owners
care for them and milk them with alb
solutely no pay for their labor and
care. When they offer these poor
cows for sale they want as much for
them as they would want for good
cows. These poor cows are making
their owners poor also. The first In
dication OF waking up to the true SIT
uation on any farm is when the farm
er begins to make a wide difference
between the prices he win take for his
good and his poor cows.

at any rate, are startling, but, as he
leaves out OF consideration some OF
the most populous countries and pro.
life peoples-the Asiatic races-it Is
doubtful II he maintains his position.
Taking the years Of 1881 to 1903, he
says that for every thousand married

births have decreased In England 1s

returns Of the United States for 1906

satisfactory figures upon which Dr.
MeslIer can carry his comparisons to
this country.

mentary information as has descended

Only the barest estimates Of the
population Of the world are possible
before the nineteenth century. Even
now a universal cenaus Is wanting, but
the present means Of estimating lead
20 more reasonable results than were
possible so recently as 3 hundred
years ago.
The cry that the human race Is
dying out was not unfamiliar In
ancient Rome and IN Sparta. Efforts
were made IN those states TO rectify
the failing birth rate By enacting yari-
GUS laws. In the meantime a new
world has been discovered and the
globes population, despite innumer.
able natural and artificial drawbacks,
has grown probably hupfredfold.

AslatIc peoples, numbering five-eighths
the total population Of the world, can
not be studied with the same facility
as the nations OF Europe and America.
Statistics Of the kind most desired for
gauging the character Of increase or
decrease are waning, but. as a general
proposition, there does not seem to be
any failure in the birth rate In the far
east.
Many misconceptions Of the size Of
the population Of the ancient mon
archies and people. II seems. have
been popularIy held. At the time OF
the exodus It is doubtful II the then
narrowly prescribed world contained
more than 10000 Of people. Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the eminent Egyptolo-
glst In g recent work, has called at
tention to what he considers an error
In translating the original Hebrew
Scriptures. He maintains that instead
Of 100000 Hebrews leaving Egypt
there were really about $500. His
Interpretation and demonstration are
ingenious and need not be refuted
here.
Some Unreliable Data.
It Is only by estimates based upon
questionable figures that any idea Of
the number Of the worlds people at
that distant time can be had From
the figures given OF the armies Of the
ancients a fair estimate OF their popu-
Iations may be made, and It shows
that numerically the old peoples were
weak. War in those times was 90
regularly recognized as q part OF life
that at least one-tenth OF the male
population was regularly in service.
Consequently. when we read OF con
quering army. such as Alexander's, set
ting out with $4,000 foot and 5000
sources.
From figures such as these II would
appear that the Persian empire In its
heyday did not contain go large a Isop-
ulation as Pennsylvania does today;
Egypt, under the Pharaohs probably
had smaller population than New
York city. and many Of the beautiful
ancient cities which industrious arch
eoiogists are daily bringing to light
had fewer inhabitants than many
third-elass post Office towns In the
United States to-day. When Columbus
discovered America there were not
from Indications observed. a million
inhabitants In the entire western
hemisphere.
The greatest increase In the worlds
population was observable during the
nineteenth century, which. with its
scientific spirit and remarkable in-
Yentlons, spread the benefits Of by
gIene and sanitation. Yet wars and
railway accidents surpassed the raw
ages Of any hundred plaques known to
history In the United States alone.
during the last ten years, there has
been an average OF 1000 persons killed
and $1,000 injured year. The Ma
poieonic wars depopulated France and
the civil war IN the United States and
the recent RussoJapanese war far
surpassed In extent the casualties Of
the greatest conflicts OF antiquity.

is an advantage also. Feeble children
are now raised which invariably per.
ished in prior ages. Survival Is the
proof OF being the fittest for survival.
Of course. II future man Is to be much
Trailer than present man, it will be a
natural process. Present types are
much different from the powerful
brute OF prehistory and keep them
selves alive BY intelligent forethought.
They are filter than the stupid man OF
great physical strength, and are driv-
ing him to the wall.
The same journal which gives a
highly sensational account Of the ter
rife reduction in the birth rate will in
another column describe the a~-YI
famines In far-away lands invol. -dg
millions Of people.
The Russian peasants have huge
families, In which the infantile death
rate IS tremendous, because they live
under very unsanitary conditions
which none except the most vigorous
children can survive. All the weak
lings are killed OF. and the survivors
are those remarkable men who, when
drafted into the army, are able to ac-
complish such marvels Of endurance.
On the other hand. the English baby.
no matter how frail, is saved: no mat
ter how sick, it is cured and grows up.
The nation Is known to be far less ro-
bust, as far as muscle and brute
force Is concerned, than It was a
couple Of centuries ago. It is dificult
to get soldiers strong enough to carry
the gun-and ammunition, while in Rus

Now, the English are able to sur.
vive simply because they have the in
telligence to avoid the causes Of
death. Thus ii one end OF Europe
the most intelligent are being select.
ed for survival, ID the other the most
robust though lacking In intelligence.
II Is the rule which has guided our de-
velopment since man was created; IN
ereasing intelligence selects for sur
yival the more frail who are not bur
dened with unnecessary bone and
muscle.
The alleged deterioration Of the
English nation is the normal evolution
and not the disaster which sociologists
are SO prone to think. 1t Is part and
parcel Of the high growth of Demo
cratic civilization in Great Britain.
which is impossible In Russia, where
there Is not sufficient intelligence. The
social organization OF these frazier but
brainier English types Is therefore
wholly nsuited for the robust but
stupid muiik, and the men who are
trying to graft these forms upon the
Russian organism are merely doing
harm.

Struggle for Existence.

On the other hand. It frequently
happens that sheltered breeding
places are selected where lere are no
enemies, and all the offspring are
raised. Those which produce the least
number are better able to produce
good ones, and II the animal must feed
and protect the young, the drain Is too
great II many offspring are produced.
There Is then a selection or survival
Of those which are the most vigorous
that Is. those having the fewest of
spring. In time this process results
in very small birth rate. Some sea-
birds, for instance, lay but one egg a
year.
These are the rules operative also
IN the case Of man. There was a time
