Good for the Railroads.

The beneficial influence the railroads
are exerting in promoting agriculture IN
the United States deserves eommenda'
ton, Within the past decade these ef-
forts have been extended to include IN
structions in the methods of farming,
investigation OF the farming possibilities
of region, assisting in organizing agrl'
cultural associations, cooperation with
state and county officers, employment OF
labor and aid in finding markets for the
farmers. Many business concerns are
also engaged in similar work.
More than three-fourths of the rail-
road mileage Of the United States is OPP
Grated by companies which engage in
special efforts TO promote agriculture.
This promotion work by railroads is a
business matter. Improvement IN agri-
culture means more traffic, and Tor this
reason large sums of money are being
expended Systematically by numerous
companies. Boston Globe.

The Falling Birth-Rate in England.

The continuously falling birth-rate in
England is exciting more discussion in
the churches than anywhere else. At
the annual church congress held by the
members of the Anglican church, Mr..
w. G. Whetham, f. r. s., urged that the
religious motive should be invoked to
stay what he termed "the plague Of emp
ty cradles" Broadly speaking, he said
that the deficiency Of children was most
marked among the thrifty skilled arti.
sans and in the upper and professional
classes. The average number of births
maintained almost its normal level in
families of Roman Catholic faith. There
was an actual rise of 3 per cent. in the
Irish birth-rate 1t was not, he said,
the duty OF either religion or science to
urge on mankind unlimited reproduction,
regardless of quality. When it was clear
that children would be useless and de-
graded specimens of humanity, society
should not tolerate their production.
The decline of the English birth rate
is exactly paralleled in Scotland, says
the London correspondent of The journal
of the American Medical Association.
The fifty-sixth annual report of the
registrar general for 1910 shows a low
cred birth-rate, marriage-rate, death
rate, and infant mortality. The births
numbered l24,0459, 1910 less than In
1909 and d,39s less than the average OF
the preceding five years and 1868 less
than the average OF the preceding ten
years. This IS the smallest number of
births registered since 1890. II amounts |
to 26.l9 per thousand and is LA below
the preceding year, l.a7 less than the ay-
erage Of the preceding five years, 254 less
than the average of the preceding ten
years and is the lowest rate on record |
The marriage-rate was 6.52 per thou
sand. which though OLE more than that |
of the previous year. is lower than any |
rate recorded since 1885, The death rate /
for the year was 1926, which is 0.59 less
than that Of the previous year, LOS less
than the average Of the preceding five
years and l.d7 less than the average OF /
the preceding ten years. The infant
was 1888 per thousand chill
lren born, which. though 90 above that
Of the previous year, is unusually low.
The death-rates from all forms OF tuber.
,ulosis continue to decrease and are the
owest recorded.
