Reducing Railroad Forces.

Statistics compiled by the Bureau of
Railway Economics show that rail.
roads representing about 60 per cent
of the total operated mileage of the
country reduced the number of their
employees by ,7S0 between April 30,
1910, and April 80, 1911. If the same
condition prevailed on other lines not
reporting to the bureau, rail carriers
throughout the United States, it is fig
ured, had 1S6,300 fewer workers on
April Both last than on the same date
in 1910. Placing the annual income of
the average railroad worker at $500 a
year, the total estimated cut in work
ing forces represents reduction in the
pay rolls Of the carriers amounting to
$95,410,000 for one year. Since the
returns were compiled by the bureau
many of the railroads, according to
reports, have adopted a drastic re-
trenchment policy, and the totals up
to date, it is believed, would be sub
stantially higher than those enumer-

THE PASSING OF THE REAL
RANCHES IN CALIFORNIA
Farmers Pour in at the Rate of a
Thousand a Month.

The old ranching days of California
are, to all intents and purposes, past
and gone. To be sure, there remain
many large tracts supporting a single
group of ranch buildings, over which
the cattle wander ION a thousand
hills" There are even few, a very
few-like the ranch of which | am
going to write-that are still undi-
vided, still rame haunted, still hospi-
table, still delightful But, in spite of
these apparent exceptions, my first
statement must stand. About the
large tracts swarm real estate men,
eager for the chance to subdivide into
small farms-and the small farmers
pour in from the East at the rate of a
thousand a month.
No matter how sternly the old land
lords set their faces against the new
order of things, the new order of
things will prevail, for, sooner or later.
old landlords must die. and the heirs
have not in them the spirit of the
ancient tradition. This is, of course,
best for the country and for progress,
but something passes and is no more.

CULTURE OF PECAN NUT A
GOOD PROFIT BUSINESS
Texas Finds Millions Of Wealth in
Growing Luscious Nuts.

Pecan culture in the State of Texas
has grown so rapidly within the past
few years and the returns have been
such source of profit to those grow
ing them that the agricultural depart
ment of the State is using a syste-
matte effort to ascertain the exact
value of shipments. 1t is known that
pecans return to the State more than
a million and half dollars annually
and that there has been a steady in
crease in the output. 1t is also known
that three-fifths of all the pecans
grown in the world come from Texas.
1t is this Importance of the crop
that is prompting the agricultural de
partment to obtain exact data. One
of the advantages of pecan culture is
that the trees can be grown most sue
cessfully on land that is unfit for agri
cultural purposes and that areas de
voted to pecans can be used as pasture
land. While the output from the State
today is an important item in the ag
gregate of cash returns, it is main
tanned that it will be more than dou
bled in the next five years when hun
dreds of young orchards reach the
bearing age.
