GERMAX KEATXESS I Germany the utmost neatness seen on all farms strikes the visitor very forcibly, he said. The majority of the farms are small, but there are still large farms owned by the aristocracy. Community farming is done on a large scale, the farmers living in villages, and the work, as in other European countries, is largely done by hand the exception of the large farms.

Labor, he said, is plentiful, the women and children doing a large part of the farm work. The hirh industry and intelligence pf the farmers of Denmark, where 80 per cent of the dairy products are exported, by reason of a small home market, --was described. In that country there are five classes of farmers and 90 per cent of the farms are operated by men who reside on the farms and own them. Agriculture is the chief industry in that country. Cleanliness was given as a feature of the farmers of Switzerland, who are also noted for thrift and eo-oper-Plion.

This is the leading country in the manufacture of cheese and interesting figures were given on that industry. Nearly all the cattle of that country are Brown Swiss. TO PRAIX ZTJYDER ZEE Holland was told of as having square miles and one-half million people, with C72 persons for each square mile, and less than halt the size of Pennsylvania. To relieve this erowded condition, the famous body of water known as the Zuyder Zee is to he drained to make more room for farming. The efficiency of the farmers was dwelt upon.

The great progress made in England and Scotland in farming was told of and the high grade of the cattle dwelt upon. The speaker said that the stock of those countries is noted the world over for uniformity, this branch ot farming being so efficiently carried on that the animals are all high grade.

That was before the day of centrally controlled airbrakes, and the brakeman did his part in applying the brakes of each car, running along his hazardous perch on the cars) leaping the short, deadly chasms between the cars, and tightening and releasing the stiff The old timer breathes a sigh of relief as he thinks of the modern contrivances that liave long elnce made obsolete the ancient link and pin. His eyes grow somber as he thinks of the many mountain wrecks that occurred when a link broke, and the great train, broken into three or four uncontrolled sections, rumbled down the mountain, an engine of destruction that left many crushed and lifeless men of the shining road in its wake. With the passing of the years, have passed many of the early perils of the and now. giant trains wind serpentinely down the mountains, controlled by the hand of the engineer.
