Why Farming Doan't Pay.
EuUimre Sun.
Tke readers of the Sun have woletlthe
l-etulu of our recent inquiry, "Does
tWaaiog pay?" tbo hpe of numer
Wtt replies from those who Luow. A
like inquiry has beeu prosecuted by an
Xodisjiupoiis jourual with substantially
similar results. The faruu-'ts of Iodiaua
are not, it is found, in as good a position
flnseoieiiy as they were a year ago.
Wheat sells for 75 cents, against $1 a year
'age. Corn and oats have fallen six cents
a bushel. There is a depression of two
eent a pound in the live bog market,
while barrel pork has fallen to $5 a barrel.
Other hog products are down in the same
DrODortiou. The crops have been satis
factory, but they bring less than former-1
ily, and the decline continues irom year
to year. With this decline of the value
of the farmer's product, there has bejeu a
corresponding decline hi the value of his
land investment. Lands situated near
manufacturing towns like South Bend
have depreciated like the rest. A farm
for which $65 an acre way offered in vain
a few years ago, was recently sold at $30.
One fariuer, who has for many years kept
m. record of bis operations, states that
formerly be made 15 per cent, profit
yearly on bis investment in a farm of
140 acres, while during the past ten years
he does not average over 3$ per cent.
On 320 acres he cannot now do as well as
he formerly did ou 140. At the same
time that the farmer's profit and capital
have been growing less the cost of living
hoi been increasing. The sugar trust has
put up the price of sugar, and the other
trusts, thauks to the protection they get
jfroua uigh tariff, have followed its ex
ample.; .The "home market"' afforded
"fry the, establishment of manufactures
near at hand has proven a delusion, as it
pays for the farmer's products only the
prices fixed in the foreign market. In
jS'ew Hampshire the steam whistles of
the factories reverberate over the fields
of 851 abandoued farms. In Vermont
the case is still worse though the farmers
there use the bells and whistles of neigh
boring factories iu lieu of dinner horns.
A cash market for produce at one's door
is of no avail if the cash received does
Jiot pay a profit on the value of one's
abor and investment. The railroads,
with their cheap transportation rates,
have destroyed the superiority of the
home market over any other. What the
consumer of agricultural produce does
nowadays is to send to Chicago for his
beef, to Minneapolis for his flour and to
Nebraska for his corn, if his farmer
friend in the neighborhood asks a paying
price for his produce. The prices pre
vailing at centres like Chicago and Min
neapolis are determined at Liverpool
and London, where the farmer's surplus
is sold. It amounts to this, then, that
the farmer buys bis sugar and other nec
essaries in a home mat ket made dear by
the protective tariff and sells his products
in a cheap foreign market in competition
with all the world. How has he gotten
into this absurd position ? Everybody is
prospering just uow but be. Evidently
somebody has been too smart for him.
Aa Indiana farmer tells how it is. "The
laws of the country," he nays, " are made
in the interest of anybody but the farm
ers, and until he wakes up that .to fact and
demands his right he can never have his
bare in the country's prosperity."
There is a strong effort being made by
Sretended friends of the farmer subji
iced, no doubt, in many cases to divert
bit attention from the high tariff, the
chief cause of his trouble, to questions of
urrency. inflation. &c. There is a vast
deal of printer's ink wasted to prove to
him that the free coinage of silver would
telieve him of all his woes. Nothing
ouM be more ridiculous. The silver
kings of Nevada would like very well to
dupe him into a false position, as the
tariff lords have too often done, but it is
to be hoped that this hard fortune in the
last year or two will open his eyes to his
real interests.
A Sketch of Ediion.
Ueeklenburg Times.
The subject of this sketch was horn the
Utb of February, 147, at Milan, a small
canal village iu Erie county, Ohio. Here
he passed the first 13 years of life, after
whiub be became a news boy ou the
Grand Trunk railway. It is said that he
never went to school regularly for more
thau a oouple of mouths of his life.
However he was fond of reading and had
a searching speculative iniud which more
than compensated for bis waut of ''book
learning." It is not generally known
that Mr. Edison once edited ana publish
ed a newspaper. But it is v fact.
While on the road he erected a chemical
labratory and a printing office in an old
baggage car. The title of his uewspuper
was the Grand Trunk Herald. Ou oue
occasion while experimenting the car
caught fire and the conductor after ex
tinguishing the flames threw the labra
tory apparatus aud the Grand Trunk
Herald out of the window. One day
having a heavy load, of papers to take
into the cars, he asked some geutlemau
standing by to help him in the car,
whereupon the men obligingly caught
him by the ear and lifted him upon the
platform. This incident impaired his
hearing aud be has been somewhat deaf
ever since. While on the road he loa ru
ed a good deal about telegraphy and was
ever afterwards a reckless experimeuter.
For several rears after attaining bis ma
jority ho moved about from place to
place as telegrapher, sometimes beiug
discharged for negligence. At Start ford,
Canada, being required to report the
word "six to the manager every hour to
show that he was uwuke, he iu vented an
apparatus to do it for him. At Iudia
uapolis he kept press reports waiting
while ho experimented with uew meth
ods for receiving them. One night while
employed at Louisville, he was experi
menting for his own purpose wbeu be
upset a carboy of sulphuric acid which
played the mischief with a banking of
fice below. At New York he invented
an iuslrumeut to priut the stock quota
tions by which he made somo money.
This caused him to be rctaiued by the
Western Uuiou Telegraph company, to
give them first bid ou bis telegraph in
ventions. From that time until the
preseut ho has had uninterrupted suc
cess. He lived for several years at Newark,
N. J., engaged iu the manufacture of a
Gold Indicator. While there he fell
in love and married Miss Mary Still
well. Becoming dissatisfied with the manu
facturing business, he located at Meulo
Park, N. J., where most of his inven
tions were made. Here he won the ap
pellation of" I ho izard of Meulo Park.
His labratory was iu a two story wooden
building painted white. Here every day
and night surrounded by numerous
phials of chemicals and curious instru
ments he could be seeu in a blue flannel
suit, spotted over with acid seekirg new
ideas aud inventions. Mr. E. keeps'a
private secretary to look after his ex
tensive correspondence. It is said
that he receives over oue hundred letters
a uav.
Mr. Edison has two children, one
Dot and the other Dash, named after
two sytobols of the telegraphic alpha
bet.
Long live Thos. Alva Edison, and may
his stay In the South be pleasant and
profitable.

Bedding Land.
Land Is almost universally bedded in
preparing for cotton. " What the objects
in view? First, in times when the har
row was little used, to give the land
another plowing to pulverize It more per

face on which to plant, and thereby fa
cilitate the first working of the crop.
Third, where manure was applied in the
drill, to bury it well in the soil. These
perhaps are all the reasons which a
farmer at first thought would give for the
practice, f he first object, disconnected
from the others, could be accomplished

Strange Effects Resulting from Being
recked by at Maddened lien.
A remarkable case of madness, result
ing from a wound inflicted by an angry
animal, has recently appeared near here
on the plantation of Joseph Mtddlcton,
which lios about throe miles from this
town, writes a Brazoria (Tex.) corre
spond on t of the Philadelphia Times. A
negro woman employed by him while
getting a bn to hatch a nost of oggs
wished to place more undar her, and
raisod the fowl from tho nest in order to
do so. Tho hen turned on her and gave
her a peck on the hand so severe as to
break tho skxn, drawing at tho same
time a few drops of blood.
As tho wound healed up without do-
lay nothing nioro was thought of the
mattor, tho woman only montioning the
occurrence casually to somo of tho other
negroes on tho place.
Somo ten davs aft or the bon had
pocked hor tho woman began to exhibit
strango freaks of demoanor, and, from a
good-naturod, obliging croature, has bo
como so fractious uud surly that all are
afraid to approach hor. Sho rof usos all
companionship and wandor3 about the
country all day from early morning,
only coming to tho bouse for hor moals.
If any attempt is rnado to confine hor
or to lay hands on hor sho becomes vio
lently angry, and makes various darts
and springs toward any ojao present.
For days now sho has not spokon a
word, but keeps up continually a low,
clucking noiso, most horribly like that
of a hon, and sits by tha hour scratch
ing in tho earth with hor bands and
foot. In eating hor rosomblanco to a
fowl is displayod in a most remarkable
and shocking manner, for hor food is
takon up by hor pocking at it with all
tho motion of a chicken's bead while
feeding.
All who know hor boforo hor liadnoss
say that hor on tiro expression lias ua
durgono a ohange. This is probably
true, for hor features now woar a sharp
ened, oagor aspcot ami hor oyes have a
most unnaturally hard and bright look,
with a bird-liko way of glanoing about
her. At night she rof usos to sloop undor
a root, ana is gonorauy iouna hiding
about sunset under som o treo or bush,
and will vigorously rosonfe with an angry
cackle all attompts to disturb her. She
is visibly growing woakor, and phy
sicians who have soon her say that her
death is only a question of a few weeks
at most.
The negroes about regard her as ono
bewitched or "hoodoed," and can not bo
prevailed upon to approach her, even
her husband and children having de
serted her. People come from all over
the country to see hor, while sho re
mains to all appoarances perfectly ob
livious to her visitors and quiotly pur
sues hor clucking' and scratching as long
as she is not interfered with.
CAST CN A BUOY.
The Thrilling- and l'erilpaa Adventure ef
Two Plucky Boys.
At a picnic held at Fort Pickens, Fla.,
last summer two young men, Max Cliea
and Jake Forscheimor, wenk out in a
small boat for a row along the bar.
While they wore trying to round Santa
Hosa Island thoir boat was drawn into
the current, and in spito of all their ef
forts they wore borne rapidly out toward
the Oulf.
"If wo only had a flag or somethin',"
said Jake, 4,we could oall help from tho
shore, pVaps."
Max's fertilo brain quickly devised a
signal. Both youths wore white cotton
shirts, and in an instant Max had pulled
his off and was waring it on his car. He
stood up in tho boat, the bettor to be
seen from shoro, and vigorously waved
his signal of distress.
Tho boat suddenly swerved, and Max
lost his balanco and foil overboard. Tho
light craft tipped, Jake slippod to that
side, and tho next instant both boys
wore in tho water. Jake succeeded in
getting a hold on tho side of tho boat,
and Max, who was babyod up by the oar
which ho still grasped, soon drifted
alongside whore ho could soize tho boat.
Neither Jake nor Max eould swim,
llow long they could maintain their
present situation was uncurtain. They
wore in constant danger from sharks.
Fortunately, sea-buoy No. 10 was right
in thoir courso. Tho boat drifted
against it and stopped.
'Let's get on the buoy," said Jake.
"It's our best chanoo," and suiting the
aotion to the word ho soon climbed
upon it, and thou roachod down and
holped Max up beside him. Thoir boat
drifted away while thoy woro attempt
ing to right it.
Meantimo their friends on the shore
had seen their flag of distress and
understood thoir danger. They were
frantic when they saw Max fall. They
ran to tho lifo-saving station for help,
and a boat' at oneo started to the rosouo.
By somo mischance tho llfo-saving
crew failed to discover tho youths on
the buoy. Thoy searched tho Gulf for
tho arroator part of tho day, but at
longth thoy gave up, thinking tho
sharks had devoured thorn.
A boat from Barrancas happened along
toward ovoning, and, fortunatolyeamo
near enough for tho young man's ories
to bo hoard. Thoy wore soon released
from their uuoomfortable position, after
having1 been oror five hours on tho
buoy.
"Wo liko to have broiled thoro in the
sun," said Max, "and at ono time six
sharks were swimmlnsr near as. If
there M boon any sea on, 'twould 'a' boon
aU day with us. If the waves had
struck us, wo couldn't havo stuck there
a minute."

gan his Wall street career he was up in
the country one time to visit some friends
and two farmers called upon him to de
cide a case. Oue had sold the other five
bushels of wheat, and proposed to meas
ure it iu a half bushel, aud sweep the ton
of the measure with a stick. The other
objected, and Uucle Daniel was asked
tcide.
"Well, legally speaking, a bushel is
only a bushel," he said.
And can the measure be swept off."
"I think it can."
"What with?"
"Well, if I was selling wheat I should
probably use half tho head of a flour bar

"Gentlemen, that is a point I cannot

DEADWOOD S BELLE.

Yery Klch.
The belle of Deadwood, H. D., Is a
young and dashing pirl. II er name Is
Margaret Sanford, and she is an orphan.
Who her mother was no one seems to
know, rtrr father entered a mining
camp abont twelve y:ar?i ago, foot-sore,
ragged, almost starved, having walked
across tho car jons from Nevada. The
miners gave him food and clothing and
began to eonstitulo themselves llttlo
Margaret's body-gaard.
One night, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, tho old man was found dead be
foro his door, which the drifting snow
had fastened so he could not enter. The
child was fast asleep inside. After tho
funeral she became a sorto a wanderer,
going and coming at will, and making
many valuable discoveries of ore. She
learned to use the ri.le and revolver,
and became on ef tho crack shots cf the
camp. With two cxc-tlons sha was
never molested, and thrre wr.s a funeral
after eaeh of these attacks.
A year ago she struck an oro bod
richer than tha n-.ot in that vicinity,
and acrain l-d tho miners to tho spot;
This time they made a voluntary con

To grow violets or panslos ontside of
a green-house is considered by practical
gardoners one of the easiest things to
perform, according to the Philadelphia
Record. Many florists keep them in
cold frames exclusively, for, as a rule,
they havo not room for them in thci
groen-houses, unless a hou is built on
purposo for thom. Thoy may bo grown
In pots, as window plants, provided
plenty or air oaa be given on sunny
days, and aBtoady temperature, betweon
S5 and 55 decrees, can bo kept np. If
kept in too high an artificial tempera
ture they will not flower much, but will
make np in red spidor what they lack in
bloosom. A geranium, a carnation and
a monthly rose may be wintered and
flowered at a low temperature if plenty
of sunlight prevails.
The violet wants to kni eroi at
all times if it is expectod that lt will
fulfill its mission. All this does not im
ply that the temperat-nre of a violet
house or frame should never be allowed
to run np to sixty degrees, because
sometimes the heat in the daytime i
not always under control. The sun maj
sometimes make the atmosphere under
glass warmer than the gardener would
like to have it, but to raiso the sash
only one Inch would let tho frose in and
do more damage than the he,-t. In such
a case a llttlo too high temperature is the
lessor evil.
A good place to grow violets or pan
slos may bo constructed at the south
sideof a dwelling. Dig a pit two feet
deep along tho hous. Into this put n
stout frame to receive a common hot-bed
sash, tho sash to lean naint the build
ing. Tear down tho wall that separate
tho framo from the cellar under the
house and put a row of windows in it
place. The idea of this is that the na:

frame at a steady temperature. At the
same time you may work over yor.r
flowers, no matter what the outside
weather may be, and when no air can be
given from tho outside it may bo done
indirectly from ths inside. When the
Outside sash is open the insido may bo
shut. Thus the san will warm up the
cellar, and perhaps sLore a little hcai

A bit from the genial little address
which Robert Colljer made at the open
ing of the Richard Rugden library, at
Spencer, Mass.: "When I camo to this
new world and had not heard as yet of that
library among the green lands, but must
have hooks on anr terms, and the terms
were hard and the good wife watching
not the dollars, but the very cents, be-
oauso they must all he saved to furnish
the little house, I can well remember
how I bought a liook on? day for half a
dollar, far too big to smuggle into the
cottage, and hid it in Uio hushes, watched
my chances tho nort day, and got it in
all safe and sound; and some days after,
when she caught me reading, and said:
'Where did you get th.book, my dear?'
I answered: 'Why, 1 have had it for
some time,' and then she only said: 'In
deed!' for she was patient with me and
good; and then, it was in what souio-
body calls our treacle moon."
