A Paradise of Agriculture.

The impression most strongly fixed
in the mind by the trip from Nizhni-
Novgorod to Perm is the vastness AMI
value of the natural resources of the
river districts. The possibilities for
agriculture are almost infinite, and the
introduction of modern machinery and
methods, and the providing of an ad-
equate labor supply would bring a re-
turn of enormous value, both from a
financial and economic standpoint. The
lumber. wood pulp and wood spirit in
dustry is in its infancy here, and with
proper handling should give a rich re-
turn Cattle and horse raising could
be gone into on a vast scale and de-
veIoped to a high state of efficiency.
The introduction of the silo method of
preserving green corn for feeding cat
tie would afford an immediate use for
great quantities Of that grain. Cattle
fed on this food thrive excellently and
give a high grade of milk. Butter
and cheese could be manufactured on
an extensive basis and could be trans
ported to the markets at very ow
expense. Throughout the whole stretch
of 1885 versts (about 160 miles,, from
Nizhni-Novgorod to Perm, one is con-
stantly surrounded by the evidence of
undeveloped natural wealth of an ex-
tent almost impossible to imagine. -
