FARMING AND COST OF LIVING

Some of our friends in the West
 have written us, saying that in their states there yet remain important
 bodies of good fertile land open to
 settlement upon moderate terms, says
 the September Circular of the Ma
 tiOnal City Bank of New York. We
 beg to suggest that either the regu
 1arly constituted authorities of the
 states or the bankers associations or
 other organizations of enterprising
 citizens should take vigorous action
 to spread this knowledge throughout
 the whole country and to attract to their own localities the steady stream of emigrants who are leaving this country to find lands and homes in the Canadian northwest. The loss of every such farmer is a national loss; and we are losing thousands, all of whom presumably would prefer | to remain citizens of the United , States when shown that they can ob-

tain as good and as cheap lands here as they can elsewhere. Our west ern states which have such lands to offer should be urged actively to pre- sent their latent possibilities to our land seeking people.
 Undoubtedly there is in the aggre- gate a vast amount of idle and unim- proved land in this country which is susceptible of cultivation. It is to be seen on every hand as one passes along highways and railways. There are sWampS to drain, worth less woodlands to clear, and even on good farms a great deal of un- utilized land. The amount of rough land now producing little or nothing which could be made good for pastur- age is enormous. But all of these lands require a considerable eXpen- allure of money or labor to bring results. They are usually covered with a thicket of undecbrush, which is a testimonial to the fertility of

the soil, but is a costly nuisance to remove. High prices of food products will eventually bring about the de- Y lopment of these lands, but natural ly this has not been done while cheap and fertile prairie lands were to be had. It is not likely that the devel- opment of these lands will have the effect of bringing down the price of food, but they may probably hold ris- nig prices in check for a time
 The railway companies with com mendable public spirit have entered actively upon a campaign of educa- tion in soil culture. Some six years ago the Pennsylvania railroad estab- lished a demonstration farm at Ba- con, Del, taking over for it's expert ments several old and supposedly worn out farms. By scientific meth ods this soil has been renewed and made very productive. The railroad officials have been so impressed with what has been accomplished that they

GROVER CLEVELAND AND THE
 SPECULATORS

Recent sales in Washington in the neighborhOod where Grover Cleveland, in his first administration, bought for his own use country house and estate of twenty acres show that if he had retained it (and Mrs. Cleve- land after him) the family would be worth $60O,00O more today than it is This Washington country home Of the Clevelands was acquired soon after he was married, and at the time was quite in the woods, several miles distant from the center of ac- i tivity in Washington and especially 1 from the White House The presi- dent paid less than 5000 an acre 1 for the property, which consisted of l twenty acres. but he spent $l5,- ! GOO in improving the old house which stood on the grounds.
 ! The purchase of the president n this neighborhood started things. The real estate spectators took a cue, and real estate in the neighborhood began to hum, and has been hum ming ever since. Washington declar-
 ed that if Grover Cleveland found this a delightful spot to live in, despite that he could spend his days in the White House, it, too, would share his pleasures. and the country proving truly delightful, Washington l was eager and is still eager to buy real estate there and magnificent ! houses have been put up in this | neighborhood, and streets and roads \ laid out in it, so that all told, Wash II ington has grown up to this spot which was a forest in the days of E: Cleveland. and he would not recog- II nfze it could he see it today on account of the Cleveland house. the neighborhood has been called Cleve- land park, and a park it is.
