colonies which hava bean founded In this
country during tha paat flva year,
while possessing but few original fea
ture. I believe will mark an epoch and
effect a revolution In American agricul
ture. It will, too, mark the taking af
other step, or perhapa the making of
another march forward. In a direction
In whlch .it la moat desirable- that
steady progress should be made; that
Is,-, toward mora .complete human
knowledge of the art of Uvlng. Such
Instruction will be at once beneficent
and ' will certainly effect a moral as
well aa an Industrial revolution.
There Is hardly a city In the United
States which does not contain more
people than can get an honest living
by labor or trade In the best of times.
When times of depression come, like
those we have passed through, there Is
a large class that must be helped to
keep them from suffering. The fact Is
patent, today, that the only prosperous
class is the agricultural. We have the
anomaly of thrifty farmers and starv
ing tradesmen. The agricultural classes,
and especially those of the colonies,
are prosperous. They have good crops
every year, and always receive good
prices for their products. While the
cities of the country are In trouble and
manufactories are running on Jiaif
time, or not running at all,. the' farmer
has money in' his pocket and a ready
market for everything he has -to sell.
The country must be fed. and the far
mer has to hustle to feed it. The city
family may do without new clothes, a '
cabinet organ, a folding bed and a
thousand luxurious appliances, but it
must have bread and meat; conse-1
juently there is nothing that can pre
vent the steady prosperity of the far
mer. This ia not the first time I have al
luded to the above subject, and it Is
not likely to be the last, for I have re -j
celved some striking object lessons of I
late In the mining and manufacturing
cities of Pennsylvania. The average
worker in that state tolls more hours
for less monev than the average far
mer in anv part of the Union. He Ih
neither fed or lodged as well as the
Held hand. He Is neither fed or lodged
as well as the slaves of the old regime.
He is a bond slave to his employers .
and his conditions. The farmer Is bet
ter off than any worker I ever saw in '
the mines or mills of Pennsylvania. In
fact, the farmer is more independent,
,has more command of his own time,
fares better at the table, lodges better
and gets a better return for his labor
than any 1900 a year wage man whom
fever met.
I am asked whv. If the abnvn stato.
Writs are facts, every young man, ap-
Jai
ing
arehtly, who thinks he can get a liv-
g In the city or at the minor centers '
f population, quits the farm and Joins
ihe multitude; also where the coloniza- :
lion part of this Btory comes In. The
reason can be found, I believe, in
jthe social leanness, or social starvation,
In the average American agricultural
illfe. The farmer, unless I except the
Mormons, the Mennonltes, the Rlsley
colonists in New Jersey, Virginia,
North Carolina, or here at Chlcora, the
shakers, the Dunkards or the RugJjy
ttes. In all his building and all his
lilannlng, has never made provision for
life. He has only considered the means
of getting a living. Everything out
side of this, everything relating to so
ciety and culture has been steadily ig.
noreil. He gives his children the ad
vantages of schools, and then falls to
provide the Boclal wants which these
educational advantages have called ;
Into life. A bright, well educated fam- 1
lly on a lonely American farm is very j
amerent material from a family i
urougni up in ignorance. An American
farmer's children who have had a few
years at a neighboring academy re
semble in no degree the children of
European peasants. They come home
with new ideas and new wants, and j
If they find no opportunities for their i
satisfaction they will be ready on
reaching their majority to fly the farm
and seek the city.
A story told me some years ago tells
of farm isolation in the extreme and
pitiful to the same degree.

Kansas homesteader began, "and rot

does not ston over this statement and
wonder what I mean by It. To get a
Uvlng. to make money, to become "fore

average agricultural multitudes, dis
couraging In their number to contem
plate. To them there la no difference In
Uvlng and getting a living; and when
their famUles ceme back to them from
thelr-achoollng.and And that really this
ia the only pursuit that has any recog
nition under the parental roof, they
must go away. The boys push to the
center or the cities, and the girls fol
low them It they can. - A young man or
a young woman, raised to the point
where they apprehend the difference
between .living and getting, a HvW.cen
never be satisfied with the latter alone.
Either the farmer' children must be
Ignorant or provision must be made for
their social wants. Bralna and heart
need food and clothing as well as bod
ies, and those who have learned to rec
ognise brains and hearts aa the best
and most important part of their per
sonal possessions will go where they
can And the ministry they need.
What is the remedy? How shall farm
ers keep their children near them? How
shall they encourage the Influx of new
people Into, the agricultural districts?
I answer, by presenting the present at
tractiveness of agricultural colonies,
such aa Chlcora, for instance, and by
adding to that attractiveness. Ten
acres are enough in this country. Do as
the promoter here Is doing; establish
reading rooms and clubs. Encourage
social meetings of the young. Buy an
organ for Susan and a narrow seated
buggy for BUI. Establish a bright, ac
tive social life that shall give some sig
nificance to labor. First, of course, lo
cate In a colony. It Is better to go a
mile to dally labor than to place oneself
a mile away from a neighbor. The Iso
lation of American farm life Is its curse.
To those who Intend locating on a farm
I will sav don't make the mistake of
isolating yourselves. Isolation fails up
on the women with a hardship men can
not appreciate, and drives the educated
young away.
It Is aboyt five years since the gen
eral colonisation scheme of furmlng
was broached. Of course the co-operative
sects had been organized for de
cades, but their communities are ruled
more by peculiar religious beliefs than
business reason. 1 do not take them
Into consideration. I had alwcys be
lieved in the social advantages ' of
colony life as delineated above, but
from many reasons I did not consider
colonization schemes as desirable
agencies in the development of a lo
cality. The colonists generally had no
money and no backing. They went Into
debt for the land, no one tided them
along until they were established, they
made miserable failures, and the sec
tion In which they settled suffered from
the odium of that failure. Hut the
success of the Booth-Tucker plans, the
Colorado colony, the Alabama colonies,
the. Rlsley colonies and half a dozen
others have converted me to the prac
ticability of "Scientific Colonization."
The scheme of production In all of
these later day colonies Is largely the
same, and in Imitation of the French
system of Intensive farming. In France
families make a living off two acre
farms and under conditions much lena
Ideal than those that exist here tit
Chlcora. They make every foot of
ground produce Its proportion, and
they watch the soil bo closely und so
Intelligently that they can tell Its exact
composition. In this country we work
the soil for a number of years, drain It
of its forces, and then load it with
manure, gunno, or something of that
sort. The French farmer does not do
that. Every year he examines the
ground. Sometimes he puts in a lit
tle lime, sometimes a little potash or
some guano. He supplies it constantly
with the very element it needs. He
does not work it for years, then fill
It full of Indiscriminate fertilizers. The
motive of the colonies is the phrase
Booth-Tucker uses so often, "Back to
the land." In the cities are thousands
of people who were agriculturists, but
who left the farms because of the social
poverty of Its life and who gladly get
back Into agriculture. It is not re
quired that a colonist has had farming
experience, but the majority are of
that class at Chlcora; the colony was
started by men who were dissatisfied
with the climatic disadvantages of
northern farming.
It costs about $500 to place a family
on a ten acre tract. This includes the
cost of the land, the building of a
house, barn, tools, etc. This charge is
met In small payments. Circumstances
govern the payments largely.
A good many people think that the
colonists will find difficulty In obtain
ing a living irom their lands the first
year. An entirely new and noteworthy
phase at the Chlcora colony Is the pro
viding of two days' work In a week
for those who need it, thus guaran
teeing a living to those wlm might
make a failure of the first year's at
tempt The 35 dwellings already at
Chlcora are as a rule equal to any $500
house in Pennsylvania.
Seven houses, one store, a freight
house, a dry kiln and a mineral water
bottling establishment are being erect
ed. Thirty-one persons have arrived
this month. And the growth ot this
lolony Is Indicative' of many 'others.

This breakwater la largely a neutral
territory, whose ownership la a matter
of dispute." Some maintain that It he
longs to the Federal government but
when the latter wlahes to erect thereon
a life saving station or lighthouse a
convenient owner, or one who purports
to be such, never falls to put In an
appearance and howls lustily for hie
pound of flesh. Among those, however,
who reside upon the mainland, and
who frequent this strip of beach. It is
looked upon as entirely neutral ground,
where neither man nor 1 government
possesses any right other than that of
might and a locality where the minor
canons of morality may be stretched
without breakage to an almost unlim
ited tension.
Wrecks, and there are many which
occur on these sand domes, are strip
ped with a bewildering celerity. The
coast Is wreck strewn, and how gladly
wrecks and their rich freight , are 'wel
comed bv the rude people who live
along Its sands. They regard the tem
pest as a friendly fairy, and all that
happens to come within their range Is
considered theirs bv right, unless In
terfered with by government life sav
ers. Under any circumstances a wreck
throws these people Into spasms ot re
munerative activity. The money cir
culated by the Merrltt Wrecking com
pany, of Norfolk, seems to be of great
er value than that distributed through
other channels.
These natives of the sand reefs are
chiefly fishermen, and the statistical
review of the work of the 6.000 employ
ed represent that they take 33.000,000
pounds of fish yearly. It Is, ot course,
Impossible for me, in the limits of this
article, to enter Into detail In regard
to the fisheries. The design of this
chapter Is to speak more specifically of
the porpoise fishing grounds at Cape
Hatteras, the only one on the Atlantic
coaBt.
The porpoise, contrary to general be
lief. Is not a fish but an air breathing
mammal, warm blooded, viviparous,
and suckling its young. Though shaped
like fishes and living In water exclu
sively, and moving In the same manner
with them. It must come to the surface
for air. During the summer these ani
mals are scattered all over the seas,
and are familiar sights to the steam
Bhlp passengers, but when cold weather
comes the prey upon which they feed,
menhaden, herring and other small
fish that associate In schools, go south
ward and assemble by millions In the
shallows lying between Ocracoke and
Hatteras inlet. Cape Hatteras affords
a barrier against the fierce winds from
the north, and In the waters below It
these little fishes seek a shelter. There,
accordingly, thousands of porpoises
congregate.
Usually there are about 20 men In a
porpoise Ashing camp. There must be
a sulllclent number to manage four
boats and as many seines. The boats
are distributed at three stations alonir
shore. Two of them are together In
one spot, while the third Is. a mile
above, and the fourth a mile below.
Each boat has a seine on board. look
outs are continually stationed upon
high bluffs to watch for ffitme, and
they signal with flags when a school
of porpoises Is coming.
Suppose the porpoises are coming
down coast. Warned In time by the
signals, the men at the station furthest
south row their boat rapidly out to sea,
dropping their seine as they go. If the
thing Is properly managed they have
been In time with their net to head off
the first of the animals. As soon as
the school, or most of It, has got past
the station farthest north the boat
from that point Is run out In like fash
Ion, dropping its seine on the way.
Thus the porpoises find themselves
hemmed in between two fences of net,
each stretching a mile out In the
ocean. They might easily escape by
swimming seaward save for the fact
that meanwhile the two boats from
the middle station have put out a mile
from land, not dropping their seines on
the way, hut extending them on a line
parallel with the shore and Joining the
two extremities of the other seines. In
this way Is made within a few mo
ments a rectangular pen two miles long
and one mile broad, In which the luck
less beasts are confined. They could
easily get out, of course, by breuklng
through the nets, inasmuch as their
strength Is enormous, but they do not
think of that.
The porpoises thus enclosed are sur
rounded with smaller seines and drawn
In shore, where they are kept thus In
a little room until the fishermen wish to
kill them. Sometimes as many as 200
will be secured at a single haul. The
fishery Is very profitable, because there
are several products of the porpoise
which are valuable. The skin affords
an excellent leather. Upon being
stripped from the animal the hides are
salted down, tanned crudely and ship
ped to northern markets, where they
are used In the manufacture of shoes,
traveling bags and other goods. This
leather has a particularly line grain,
and boots made from It are given a
waterproof quality by the natural oil
of the skin. However, the highest
priced porpoise leather, which is very
costly Indeed, Is obtained from the un
born young. It Is of a most delicate
texture and exquisitely mottled In
black and white. For book covers It
Is a most admirable material
Every one has heard of porpoise oil,
which Is used for watches and other
delicate machinery. It Is one of the
most costly oils known, because only
a ' few ounces . of It- is got from each
animal. It is obtained from the Jaws
only, being tried out from the bones af
ter the skin and flesh have been re
moved. There Is another sort of oil,
at very little value, procured from the
fat beneath the skin and from the liver
and other viscera. Hides are worth
from 76 cents to $2.50 apiece, the latter
price being paid for the best skins of
unborn calves. A school of 200 por
poise represents about 1500 to the fish
ermen. Nobody has ever attempted to
make any use of the skeleton, which
art scattered by ten of .thousands
along the shore below Cape Hatteras,
