Means of Preventing Waste of Avail
able Energy.

able Energy,
New York Evening Post.
James j. Hilrs continued warnings about
our failing food supply are really a plea
for scientific farming. Intensive culture
and the utilization Of every ounce of energy
stored up in food. must make up for the
increasing pressure Of population and the
diminishing areas of cheap and unoccu-
pied land. This subject was touched upon
in the presidential address delivered be,
fore the Society Of Animal Nutrition al
Chicago last month, and just printed in the
last number of Science. A strong point
was made Of closer attention to what may
be called the by-products OF the farm.
Just as the miner seeks TO work low-grade
ore, so will the farmer of the future en-.
deavor to prevent the waste Of available
energy contained in oat hulls, corn cobs
and the Ike" II Is somewhat anomalous
to have such minor savings urged upon US
at the very time when, as the president as
sures us, the country is In a high state
OF prosperity" But the true moral is that
upon which Mr.. Hill insists, namely, that
no prosperity can long endure which de.
ponds upon exhausting the soil and ig.
noring the applications of science to agri.
culture.

For the fourth time the deeper
waterways project is before the Illinois
Legislature, this time in special ses-
sion. There has been a deal Of talk,
and Illinois now has It in its power
to show congress that the west is in
earnest about the development of
commerce-csrrying channels. Unless
Illinois shows a disposition to spend
it's own money for the cross-state
canal, the lakes-to-the-gulf project is
apt to go glimmering. Practical
action is the order Of the day.

Mr.. Bryan, then, has challenged the men
who last year opposed him. IL would prob
ably be unfair to say that he has done so
because of that fact. for he is a man Of
convictions with the courage OF them on
all subjects. But they are against him and
he is against them, and the men they favor
are the men he has to beat in the tussle
for control Of the next democratic national
convention.

The Hudson bay railroad project
goes steadily forward, and the latest
reports from Ottawa are that the
dominion Parliament has now in hand
the perfected plans for a SIT, 000,0 900
line that shall connect the Pas, the
northern extension of the Canadian
Northern, with Port Nelson, a distance
of 410 miles. 1t is estimated that this
would accommodate 64,00O,0 900 bush
els of grain during the open season
and land it in Liverpool at a saving of
5 cents a bushel over the present rate
by way Of the great lakes. But it
must be borne in mind that this rail-
road could be operated only two
months in the year, and that grain
which reached the seaboard at Hud-
sons bay after the close of navigation
would have to wait nine months before
it could move. Canada is to be COM
mended for it's persistent enterprise in
the Hudson country, but nature has
reared up so tremendous a handicap
there against mans efforts that the
normal outlet for traiic through the
lakes is not likely ever to suffer any
diminution of patronage.
