Quantity is as strik- ing as quality ; the eight millions re- c.ivtii for these products at the be- ginning of the eighties have grown to eighty millions. It is not surprising to learn, therefore, that the Danes, who are a nation of farmers, have the greatest per capital wealth of all the Continental people, or that the rural depopulation which threatens America as well as Europe. has not yet affected Denmark. Yet Denmark is not a state of which nature has been unusually kind. Its total area is about half the size of thata. clay belt in New Ontario whose existence we were unaware of until the other day ; its winters are long; its soil in part a light clay which proves fer- tile, but elsewhere, especially in South Jutland, it is sandy and bar- ren. How does its population of 2,500,000, nearly the same as On- tario's, win the success the world acknowledges ? Secret of Success. • The first secret of their success is the system of land tenure. Nine farm- ers out of every ten in Denmark own the soil they till—as against one in ten in Great Britain and two out of three even in the United States. The prevailing holding runs from twenty to !twenty acres. This widespread proprietorship runs back to the eighteenth century, A hundred and fifty years ago the Danish government began to make provisions for the breaking up of the large estates, work- ed by a half -serf peasantry, and of the even More backward communal bold,ings. They anticipated by gen- erations the Irish pram of land pur- chase, lending money to the tenants at low rates. About 1850, a new stimulus was given by the formation' of credit societies Arit:ch made pos- sible the purchase of land on Pity or h u d rtal-y r to paying prin- cipal and intrest in small install - mint s. In the last Ten years tin. goy-. err-anen1 has takenup the running, ad- taneing nine-tt 11 tttt u the value of small farms to the farm laborers of at least five ears' experit nee. • Mort- gata s, it follows, alt' as thick as the lea‘es in Vallombrosa in Denmark, Intl slowly and surely encumbrances aro being cleared and a thrift y, st:11- rt'lLani, lumingtatesus 'amino class tieing built up. Thirty Agricalotral Colleges. The second factot in their success is education, general and technical. The Danish farmers are said to be the most unlink( nett in Europe. .111i- teracy is !:'('tically unknown ; at- tendance at sehoor to -Ohe age of four teen is cornpulsorya There are some thirty agricultural cellegis, aided by 1 the Statu, which gives thorough trade - school lust ruct ism. It is, however, the popular high schools or adult eon - 1 sthoids which are the strik- ins feature of Denmark's educational ; life.

Thc' t•oars.,s ar., of a gems. - al nature, running front history and literature to farm bookketping. There is no rigid uniformity of curriculum-, and 110 examinations. The inflame. of these continuation schools in de- veloping national eharactsr and -widen- ing the horison of the fano—fur their students go hack to the farm—is said to be incalculable. • State. 1 Ivies. The state lends its aid. It helps the ambitious laborer to buy his fatut It puts the services of ifs t.xperts at his disposal for advice •and demonstra- tien. It contributes to t he funds of breeding kts: ovia 1 ions. 11 provides government inspection of slaughter houses and makes surprise tests of .creamerieS and bacon -curing establish- ments. It enforces the trademark standards set by the co-operative so- cieties. It gives cheap and conven- ient service on the government rail- roads and subsidies,. a steamship ser- vice to England. Co-operation. Yet this aid, helpful as it is, is not unusual. The main factor in Danish success is not paternalistic benevolenca but cc-operatve self-help. Nowhere in the world has co-operation 'been de- veloped to the extent it has attained - in Denmark. If the ' Dane wants to sell or buy .a commodity, ray de - Wares, he seems instinctively to form a society fon the purpose. The move- ment began, in the sixties, whenDen- mark was itt the throes Of depression after her defeat and dismemberment by Gedraarty. Tc -day it pervades ev- ery activity of the farm. There is co-operation in production and mark- eting. Over a thousand co-operative creamesies exist producing four-fifths of the butter output of the country, Some thirty bacoh-curing associations utilize the skim -milk. fed pigs,. pro - clueing two-thirds arthe bacon pro- duct. Butter, eggs and bacon alike .are marketed co-pperablvely,. chiefly ' .in England, where the -English consum- ers' co-operatiVe societies alone buy over $11,000,000 worth . of .hattera year.

Skelton., Queen's University, Why Not a Song to the Apple'? "Our north( rn November day is like spring water. It is melted frost, dis- solvednow. There is a chill in it, and an exhilaration alSo. Ttie fcrenoon is all morning, and the afternoon all evening. The sunlight is diluted with darkness. The colors fade from the land6cape, and only the sheen of the river lights up the grey and brown d,istance." So writes John Burroughs, that exquisite friend of nature. This iron -grey month has, how- ever, a peculiar geniality all its own, '1Fs the season when the apple har- vest. is finished and the eider -presses are hard at work. There was unfor- tunately but a meagre crop of On- tario's .finest fruit to give thanks for on' the 31st. What will the young- sters think when the barrels are empty before the New Year'? -The oldsters also will mourn at forbid- ding 'prices. No country can surpass ours, nor- mally, for its apples. They are our •specialty. It was an Ontario farmer who is said to have stopped in an art gallery before a painting of Adam and Eve in the garden, in which ,Flve was 'presenting the fatal fruit to her companion, and to have objected with a scornful laugh that "that 'there pip- pin only came in ten years ago." The grape has a noble record in Ong and story, both ancient and modern. Vine and fig -tree are celobrated in Old and New Testament, and downto the present day. But the app', though famed as a root of evil and discord in the tales of 1fercules, Troy and AW. lanta, as well as in, the venerable nar- rative af Genesis, seems -yet to await a more kindly, recognition poetry. Years and years ago Phillips wrote a dreary poetn under, the title of "Cid- er;" evot ati uncompromising teetotal- ler would fall out v.i:th so unworthy a treatment of the subject. Such com- mon parlance as "the apple of the eye" pays tribute to the. noblest of fruits.

Lessons Inc Canada. As far as Canada is concerned the lessons to be learned. are two, "namely, the swat of holding a swift, fair trial, and the custom of exacting the pen- alty of the law within a few days of the passing of sentence. Four -f.Itt)s only were consumed in -hearing. the Crippen, case, a time almcst scandal- ously inadequate in the opinion of sante. legal technicians.

Our custom, is the more barbarous. m A short interval for the doomed man to settle his temporal affairs, and to raeconeile himself to his fate, is all that pity for the poor wretch de. mantis. To .keep him alive week af- ter week, with his wala:ng thoughts and his midnight- dreams riveted on a date in the calendar that slowly approaelats," is surely a sort of tor- ture. it may be that a false kindness to the doomed mart is responsible for the useless months of Contemplatipn that are allowed him. It is • more probable that the uncertainties of ('anadian justice eXplain it. A judge knows how many opportunities ensue, beitween 'the conclusion of the • -trial and the date of the execution for the eirculatit of petitions in behalf of a, murderer, and fon appeals to the Department of Juatieo.
