The Great-Western Railway, says the "Daily xpress, ,is preparing a scheme for the benefit inflSm formers which, should have no mean Tience upon a revival of English agriculture. Up to the present time the' man with a /small 0 doig has found it more than difficult to get a,ir profit for his produce. The middleman and *n an'd bought his fruit, vegetables, airy produce for paltry prices out of all proportion to the profits he mate's; for himself the, big markets of ithe towns. 11, many 4zases, inore?over, the ,?imall producer is Passed by even 'by the middleman, Who deals with farmers on a larger scale, and b?uys en?or- nlc)u,s The qu,antities of for6i, prod!tzce forrn,er has ther,fore,; been p,laceld at a cotn-plvte di99-'d'?vanta'ge, for there is, no orgaitis?ed system? ,by which the, producer can gdL into direct con- n'ec,ti?,o,n wi,th the, consumer. Not only this, but until qu,?t,e recently, whe,it the Great-Western Railway r-ev.4?se?d its ra,?es? for th,e 'Conve?'ar??c,e of farm a!nd dla?,ry produce, the Small f,arm,er living at thirty or forty miles from a' big itckwn hias had to pay far more, for the ?tarr-iacre c?F s?l-rlall qu,anti'Li,es to? th?e market than if he -had,- sent a heavy load from oi-ib, end of e kmgdom to the other. a» 8 ra-'way- have- hitherto given no encour- agement to senders of "small packages for com- batively short distances.

On the face of it, the .scheme seems full of hope for the future prosperity of a class that is a present figlhlting against many difficulties ana disadvantages.
