THE QUESTION OF PRICES

One of the most important mat

this country is the one indicated ;

adopted to increase the yield, or ;
loth combined. Tiiat it is j.ossi-1

capital and tiie systematic appli

in such, a multiplication of the
products, and a eomnm::'! y prin

discussing these phases 01 tiie
nibject, Wells says: "Mac' ineiy
i-! already largely emplovt d in con
. nectioii with tiie d ying and can
ning of fruit and vegetables. In
the sowing, harvesting transport
ing and milling of wheat the
utilization has reached a point
where further improvement would
eeem to be almost impo ible In
the business of slauLleerin:- cattle
and hogs and rendering their re
Bulting products available for food
and other useful purposes the vari
ous processes, involving large ex
penditure and great diversity of
labor, especially in 'curing,' suc
ceed each ot'ter with startling
rapidity, and are, or can be, all
carried on under one 10 -f, ."d on
such a scale of magnitude and
with such a degree of c-.-ot-omy
that it is said that if the entire
profits of the great slaughtering
establishments were Hmifed to the
gross receipts from the sale of the
beef-tongues in the one case and
pigs' feet in the other the returns
on the capital wou'.d lie eminently
fiatisfactory. It is not, however,
to well known that the h r-' : ? ci
fattening cattle by the sr "ailed
'factory system,' on a most exten-
tuve scaie, nas also been success-: .

j is matter lor the future to reveal ; j
hut it can not be doubled that the j
.-hit'tless, wasteful methods of j
nirriculture now in practice over
criminous areas of the earth's
surface are altogether too barbar
ous to be much longer tolerate. 1 ;
and, as the result of such progress,
!hr ivlnrn of the prices of mea'S

rates, which many are .nticipa:

number of the world's consumers,
may be delayed huierhme'y."
Undoubted1' Mr. Wells is cor
J rect in his diagnosis of the case.
I and snch being the fact it devolves i
upon us to meet the circumstances j
of the sitii 'tinn hv n .-ii-pI'ii! vIum i
! and t.ie forming of plans that in j
advance will meet the require
ments. Iuversified farmiuir and a
more thorough and systematic
cultivation of the soil over es
a:t?as are ceitainly two results tim.
must follow.
