Socialism in Hungary.

In Hungary a noticeable factor,
writes our Budapest correspondent.
Is the enormous influence that Ger
many, Italy and England WELD.
Every work of value dealing with the
diverse forms of Socialism has been
translated and scattered broadcast in
all disaffected and discontinued areas.
Fines and Imprisonment increase, but
the literature of social democracy is
flooding village. hamlet and town
with new ideas and providing new
forces. Certainly one of the best
equipped printing establishments
have ever seen outside of England is
that of the Socialists in Budapest. 1t
Is an enormous place. 1t represents
money and it makes money, and
money means organization, and from
this flows power.-Pall Mall Gazette.

We British have renowned
name as successful agriculturists. II
is not altogether certain that in the
new century we deserve 1t. Our
fame is in a large part due to the
skill and perseverance of the men
of the past, the builders of the
shire, the Shorthorn, the Leicester
and the Southdown, as well as of our
white breeds of swine. which are al
most as great triumphs of the art OF
the breeder. Speaking for myself.
have found that in foreign countries
reverence for the name of British
farmers has been mainly due to the
great superiority of British livestock
as it has presented itself for compari-
son with the varieties which are COM
mon in those countries. It is some
times claimed, not by other people,
but by ourselves, that we grow a
larger quantity of wheat per acre
than the farmers Of any other coun-
try. II this were absolutely true 1t
calls for no special commendation.
for our wheat area is very small by
comparison with that of other great
countries. especially where prices are
higher, and where, in consequence,
the crop is grown upon soils much in
ferior to those which are employed
for the purpose in this country.
II we submit ourselves to self-ex-
animation and are candid and con-
scientious, we shall flnd-that is II
we are sufficiently acquainted with
the work of others-tkat We are
being distanced in the race. Our but
ter Is undersold by the brands Of
Denmark and France because of their
general superiority. The average
cheese of our colonies, Canada in
particular, is superior to the average
cheese produced by ourselves. We
cannot compare with the French in
the production Of fine poultry, and
our fruit is beaten out of the market
by that which we import from Tas-
mania and from across the Atlantic.
Even among livestock, in which &C.
partment we are supposed to be- pre-
eminent. we are told by Sir Walter
Gibbey that we are beaten by the
breeders of carriage horses Of the
Continent, while the Americans are
preferring the imported Percheron
and Flemish dray horses Of France
and Belgium to those upon which we
pride ourselves so highly. We make
no general attempt to improve any
one national product. such as has
the Germans, who have
the sugar percentage OF the
beetroot; the Americans. who have
SO marvelIously improved the maize
plant: and the Canadians. who. by
an equally wise system of selection.

that is produced, but primarily to the
fact that our farms are generally too
large in area to enable the tenants
to produce suff1clency of manure.
II the same capital employed in
farming four hundred acres were de-
voted to the intense culture of $50
acres the yield might be so increased
every rod being cultivated like a gar
den, that the net profits might be
doubled: and such is the result of
intense culture wherever 1t is to be
found.
Intense farming not only means
abundant manuring and thorough
cultivation, but the employment Of
most carefully selected seed and an
equipment In the form of farm tackle
which will enable the men to get
through the work with greater speed
and perfection, and thus to avoid
late sowing, late hoeing and late har-
vesting. and all the risks which at
tend each of these operations. It
is an axiom that late work Is gen.
orally fatal work. and yet there are
so many who postpone haymaking to
the last moment, in the belief that
by obtaining slightly greater weight
they obtain greater value, than which
there can be no greater mistake. In
the late hay crop a large proportion
of the food matter of the plant has
found its way into the seed. 50 much
of which Is shed owing to its over
ripeness, leaving the stems nothing
better than straw. On the other
hand. the early cut grass crop. II
slightly lighter in weight, is much
richer in food value. going further
with stock and giving breathing time
to the farmer between hay time and
harvest, enabling, his men to get
among the roots with their hoes,
while 1t practically insures a second
crop of grass. which in SO many cases
never appears when q crop is cut

early cutting, but on the liberal en-
ployment of phosphate manures.

which in consequence 30 improve the
value of the manure produced by
their consumption, owing to the nj.

1t will require one large marble, not
| less than one and three-fOurths inches
in diameter, one gentleman's celluloid
cuff and a few inches of thin felt in
two cOlors. Cut the buttonholes from
the cuff, roll it up into tube just

easily through it and sew it firmly to-
gether. Cut a cihcular piece of felt
one-half inch larger than the tube and
sew over the end of the cuff, holding
it loosely, SO 1t bags a little.
Cut out a vest and coat of contrast
ing colors, draw on the upper edge Of
the cuff, about one and one-half inch
es from the top. eyes, nose and mouth

of the papers. This can be done with
a pen and ink or in oil paints Now
fasten the vest In the back of the
neck, pull the vest down in front to
cover the seam where the circular
piece of felt was sewn on, and arrange
the coat, fastening in front with large
knots to initiate buttons.
Cut arms and legs Of felt. Sew the
legs to the body under the swallow
tailed coat and attach the arms to the
top of the coat. Cut circle Of felt.
snip out a small triangle from one
side. sew it up to make a peaked cap
and finish with tassel; drop the

and the brownie is finished.
