No Use for Him.-The handsome
young minister always stationed him
self at the church door after the ser
vice in order to greet his Pensioners
as they filed out.
One Sabbath morning came a raw

his usual cordiality, the minister
grasped her hand and said:
II am very glad to see you here this
morning. Will you not tell me your
name and address, so that 1 may call

BELGIAN FARMS SMALL
A National Law is Responsible fol-
Small Holdings.

Small Holdings.
An outstanding feature of the Bel
gian farming is the small size Of the
farms. More than half of the Belgian
farms are less than an acre in size.
One cause Of small farms in Bel
GUM is a law prohibiting the leaving
by any man Of all his property to one
child, declares Wallaces' Farmer. 1t
is required that the property be divid-
ed among his children. OF course the
children a agree to hold the land
intact, but in practice the result has
been a great subdivision Of the land.
The average acre Of Belgian land
rents for a cash rem Of about $40, but
there Is some share renting, the agree
ment being half and half, and the
landlord to furnish half Of the ferti-
lizer. The average value Of the Belgian
land is now about $500 an acre, pas
ture land averaging a little more than
this and cultivated land a little less.
Eighty years ago Belgian land was
worth just half this much.
Why is Belgian land 81 high? 1t is
not so fertile as much Of the land Of
England or Germany, yet it is more val
liable because there are some half mil
lion Belgians who have the ability
to make $500 land bear interest on
the investment. They are able to do
this because they work hard and are
satisfied with little. Another reason
for the high price Of land is the keen
competition for it. Because Of the
small pieces into which it is divided
land is constantly on the market and
there are always farm hands and rent
ers who are eager to own a piece Of
land for themselves, and so the price
Is bid up to the limit.

If there is little reaction in the mar
ket next week 1t will not be epected to
last The belief obtains, however, that
prices have about hit the low point
new and that any marked change will
be for the better.
The weeks run of $4,000 has been
small indeed, and compares with 49,
377 a week ago. while only $500 cat
tie have gone east. At six markets
five days crop of 10000 shows $4,000
cut from a week ago, but apparently
the demand situation has warranted
fewer cattle in the west since eastern
killers have been smaller buyers in
Chicago than in the two weeks pre-
vious.
The Chicago trade looks for 10000
to $4,000 cattle for next Monday. but
present demand conditions warrant the
lighter number. This would compare
with 1895 last Monday and 1880 a
year ago next Monday.
