RAILROAD AIDS IN AGRICUL-
TURAL WORK.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has for some time been engaged in
practical experiments in the matter Of
intensive farming, and has thereby rem
dered a practical service to the. cause
of agriculture. The New York Central
has taken up another phase of the
farming situation by purchasing run
down" farms and redccming them by
scientific and intelligent methods. The
number of abandoned farms in certain
sections Of the country tell a pathetic
and depressing story of the movement
toward the cities. and the failure of the
farmer. who should "feed them all" TO
he able TO feed himself
The redemption of these abandoned
farms and the lesson that would be
taught by making known the methods
employed in that redemption offer a
field for a great work. and so does the
application of the intensive system in
making two blades grow where but one
grew before.
This work must necessarily be, to a
certain extent. both experimental and
expensive. The individual. unless he
has a bug" for fancy farming and very
large means at his command, Is not able
10 carry out the necessary experiments.
1t Is highly gratifying therefore, to
find these two great railroad systems
building up the waste places along
their lines by carrying forward the new
and improved system of agriculture
which scientific investigation has
brought to the front. The railroads

who knew and loved him best, and to
whom his death brings such poignant
grief. Men whose personal and public
life measures up to that of the late
Justice are not so numerous but that
their passing fills the mind with sin
cere regret.
Although Justice Brewer has fin
ished his work on this earth and
started upon the mysterious journey
which carries each mortal into the un-
known, the fruits of his labor will
remain. He achieved great prominence,
distinction, and genuine fame, but he
realized that no man can make himself
or his name stand permanently against
the onslaught of time. He held a broad
comprehension of the littleness Of any
single human being in the great scheme
of the universe, and recognized the in

that, because of his effort. some genera

This is all that one man can do. but
each man can do this much. Each, in

ways in mind that he Is not laboring
