agriculture. Crowded England often
raises 1000 bushels to the acre, and
still more crowded Belgium, with over
500 persons to the square mile, can
often show 800 bushels to the acre.
WHAT is here said of potatoes is
equally and strikinyly true Of all 9th
er land products. SO that our agrl-
cultural del,artm mt has sent com
mission to Europe to find out how
they do it.
The principle upon which European
farmers work is that Of paying due
regard to the cost of production. That
IS all that intensive farm methods
mean-getting the most possible out
of an acre Of land with the least pos
sible expenditure Of money. 1t is
necessary to emphasize the word
money" for there is a system of
farming which obtains in all coun-
tries that consists in getting the most
possible out of an acre with the least
possible expenditure of labor, time,
investment, or care. If that is farm
ing ut all. it is not intensive farming
but the most expensive kind of farm
ing.
Now and then we are told that the
American farmer will soon have eN-
hausted all the natural fertility of the
land and that he must come to imten-
sive methods. That warning is utter
ed as though 1t were some impending
calamity or fearful alternative.
1t is not necessary to wait until the
fertility Of the land is exhausted be-
fore adopting intensive methods. All
can commence tomorrow morning.
And absolutely nothing else can be
conceived which will contribute so
much and so quickly to the national
and individual wealth as will Il rad
ical reform in the direction OF more
scientific and businesslike methods of
agriculture and horticulture.

necessary to produce this result would
have Il safer and sountler investment.
1t seems to lis that there can he no
question but that fair advance can
well he borne by the public at large
and that they would get back such
added benefits from the investments
in the little advance that the change
would be of great potential advantage
to the nation as a whole. We are o.
posed upon general principles to the
transportation business Of our coun-
try being made Il football by design
ing politicians, demagOgues and men
who have no real interest in the up
building of the country, but are de-
voting their entire time to raising
themselves politically in the eyes of
their fellowmen at the expense Of the
commercial interests of the nation"

RAILROAD RATES.

The farmer who has the best utrn-
sils should raise, the best crop: the
artisan who has the best tools should
turn out the best job and that rail
road which is in best physical condi-
ton and best equipped with rolling
stock should carry cheapest. That is
the real railroad problem the phys
zeal improvement of the lines, the
strengthening Of curves, the rednc-
tion Of grades. \ road that has these
material advantages can carry at a
profit at rates that would bankrupt a
poorly constructed and nadequately
equipped line.
1t is not a matter Of rates so mucl,
as it is matter Of equipment that
makes all this insane quarrel between
carrier and shipper. The public will
have to pay for the improvement Of
the roads, or they will not be improv-
ed. The thing is tax on traffic.
When capital constructs road it is
a debt imposed on traffic. and traffic
is mortgaged to pay dividends to re-
jmburse capital for the outlay. If
that were not so there would not be
mile Of railroad track in the world.
Railroads are not built for fun, nor
for charity, but for profit, and the
real interest OF carrier and shipper
are identical. 1t is better for the
road if the shipper and the shippers
customers are prosperous. and it is
better for all if the road tlourishes-
has ample revenues for dividends.
improvements, and extensions.
The problem is to carry cheapest
from him who produces to him who
consumes. and the railroad is but Il
tool of the trade. We had the same
question in different guise in 1896.
Money is but a tool of trade. One
party said the tool must be tlimsy,
unstable, and inefficient: the other de-
clared that it must be the best that
could possibly be obtained. Gold
triumphed over silver, as it should
have done. 7" get efficiency in any
business there must be good wage and
ample salary, and to attain cheapness
in transportation there must be the
highest physical condition OF the
roads.
Let the railroads be frank and let
the public be just. Then all will he
