The Business of FARMING.

Inc BUSINESS OF Farming.
II the rule prevailed in farming
which governs other businesses, the
marvellous prosperity of the farmers
In recent years would make the de-
mand for farms so great that 1t could
not be met without exhausting the
available supply Of abandoned land in
the east and the unoccupied land in
the west. The corn yield last year, &C.
cording to the government Crop Re-
porter, was worth half a billion dol
lars more than In 1899, although the
crop was smaller The wheat harvest
was worth nearly two hundred mil.
lions more for about the same number
OF bushels, and SO on through IL prin-
cipal crops, with q total increase In
value for the IL of a billion 1--WE hun.
dred million dollars. The prices for
farm products have gone up, and made
the farmers rich. They have paid OF
their mortgages and have been asking
the banks to take their surplus
money, even at the low rate Of two
per cent. interest. Since corn and
wheat and potatoes sell at prices from
a half more to nearly twice as much
as In 1899, II is important for the con-
sumers that the extent of agricultural
land, or the amount raised to the acre,
should be increased. This country
cannot continue to export grain with
out increasing the yield. That in
crease must be considerable, even to
keep pace with the demands Of the
growing city population, to say moth
Ing Of the increasing consumption Of
their crops by the farmers themselves,
now able to enjoy luxuries they once
could not afford. Men with money
rush into one business after another,
frequently created by passing fad,
and lose their capital forgetting that
there is always demand for the prod
ucts Of the farm, even in panic times.
Men can get along without automo-
biles, but they must eat. The present
profitable prices are to continue for a
long time, in the opinion of the secre-
tary Of agriculture, for population has
grown much faster than the farms;
therefore the business of farming
ought to hold the attention of those
seeking success.

There was a time when the West
Indies swarmed with pirates, and mer-
chantmen plying their trade In that
quarter ran big risks Of losing both
crew and cargo. The pirates, the buc-
cancers and the whole lawless outfit
disappeared before the advancing pow
er OF civilization, reinforced by men-of-
war which were more than a match
for the free-booters. Occasionally,
however, some reckless spirits start
out on career akin to that Of the
rovers of the sea 200 years ago. Gen.
orally the experience is short one.
The United States revenue cutter AL
gonquin, cruising along the coast Of
Porto Rico, fell in with a sloop which
had been stolen from an island port.
The vessel was rigged up in pirate
style and the thieves aboard Of her
were planning a course of robbery, ex.
pecting when they had accumulated
sufficient booty to escape to Santo Do
mingo and to enjoy their ill-earned
wealth. Instead of this they stand
fair chance of languishing in prison.
These are unpropitious times for the
most ambitious pirate. He is certain
to get run in.

The house in which Paul Revere
lived when he made his famous ride
from Boston to Lexington has lately
been restored to its original condi-
tion, and was opened on April Is, the
anniversary Of the ride. 1t is now a
memorial museum, containing relics OF
the revolutionary goldsmith, steel en-
graver and copper founder. 1t is sup
posed that part OF the building was
erected in 1856. IT was, therefore. an
old house when Revere bought 1t in
1910. The part Of Boston in which It
stands is now occupied largely by TIA

American history from close associa-
tion with the home of the noted
patriot.

WOULD DRIVE OUT JAPs.
Chinese in Manchura Make War on
Mikado's Soldiers

Portland, Ore, Feb. 21.-Advices
have been received in Portland from
Hongkong and other Chinese cities
that a species of guerrilla warfare
has broken out in Manchuria between
the Japanese soldiers who make up
the army of occupation and the native
Chinese, who are bent on driving out
of the country the representatives of
the power whom they fear as an en-
croaching menace.
It is said in these advices that sew
eral conflicts have already occurred
between the soldiers and the people
and that the Japanese have been
driven entirely from two towns.
1t Is said that one of the causes of
the grievance the Chinese have
against the Japanese is the fact that
the latter are trying to get control of
the railways, the revenues and te1e-
graphs in Manchuria
The fact that trouble exists be-
tween their country and Japan is well
known to well informed Chinese of
this city and all of them are eagerly
awaiting developments.
They look upon the situation as
serious and some of them go SO far as
to say that long and bitter struggle
has begun.

Washington, Feb. deductions

force on the isthmus Notwithstand-
ing these facts there has been con-

isthmus recently as result of the

States, but their chances of securing

given these facts, as any vacancies
that may have to be filled are given
to former employees who have not
left the isthmus. Americans who do
come, however, and fail to secure

find other employment, as the vol

is amply sufficient to meet all de-
