Cv J lrri..K the' Mock, which would be .fleeted ,y holdn curt over the Ion d.stanc It was m gladsome- time for the residents of Tarkio, Atchiiiwm County, Mo., last Sunday Morning. The iiiereury in the the thermom eters bad crawled part the century mark and the corn on the 2-Vhki acres of mftfruincieiit Miuri bot tom laud, belonging to David Kan kin, the uncrowned king of Ameri can urmers, was fairly cracking as it crept nearer aud nearer to ma turity. Corn makes David lUukin what he is an David Kaukin makes Tar kio what it is, one of thehaiidsum est and uioit progrewdve of Missou ri cities, and it was but natural that man, woman and child should hesitate on the way to the half doz en rharchra ami after wiping the perspiration from the brow remark: "It's a great day for the corn any how." On the porch of the lending ho tel immiincut citiwns withered during the day to exchange topics of mutual interest, but the sole sub ject of conversation on this terrific hot midsummer day was the mag uiticieut insect for '!. H.V com crop. From where they sat a view in any direction caught noth ing but acre alter acre ot waiving corn just tuaseled and just ut the critical stage of its progress. Five miles away were the blufl's which mark the course of the Mis souri as it rushes on to the Missis sippi. Iletwceu Tarkio and this rsnge of bluff there was nothing hut com. Like great green bil lowy sea field after field completed the picture, and over the undulat ing hills for aire after acre David Itaukin reigns supreme. There had beeu a mild sort of shooting scrape the night previous, and the first, by the way, that had had ever occurred iu the town. There was a circus billed for. the coming week, but these events pal ed into Insignificance whenever the matter of the freshing showers of the night before was brought up. HATIKFIKI WITH THK1K LOT IS 1.1 F IS. The dash of rain followed by the rise in the temperature, which meant thousands and thousands of dollars to the community, was the absorbing element In the conversa tion, and so these gtsid people of Tarkio went to church with abso lute equanimity, und alter the Sunday dinner the men folks sut aroml iu their shirt sleeves iu the broiliug Lot sun as they smoked their Sunday afternoon piios were satisfied with their lot iu life. As for David Kaukin, the abso lutely unconventional, thoroughly American and most typical million aire corn king, he had worked his ninety-six hours during the week just ended, and be was spending his Sabbath day as he has seiit it for most of the eighty years of his life. With not a wheel turning on any one of his fourteen ranches, and with none of his men doing but which ubaolute necessity required, he had doubtless returned thanks at the regular morning devotions for the gratifying showers which meant no much to Lis thousauds of acres. Iu his accustomed pew at the Uuited Presbyterian Church he bad attended tho usual church ser vices, aud, while bis neighbors re joiced in the weather conditions, he remained quietly at his splendid suburban home, just outside Tar kio, and between naps communed with biioselfastothe results which a combination of work aud good health will effect.

When David Kankin hrst c:iine to Missouri Tarkio was hardly 01 the map. Indeed, there hangs on the walls of the First National Rmk a sectional map ol Atchison county, published iu 1S72. There is a half section here and there marked with the name of David Kaukin, but no town site is mark ed for Tarkio, and it hits attained its nrcaent rank and standing us one of the progressive and up-to-date towns of the Slate siuce Mr. Kaukir. has lsHn a resident within the boundi ies of the county. The career of this remarkable Farmer is si ranger than fiction, at this, is but the story of unremit ting toil and lalstr and the ability to grasp opiK-rtunitiesaa tlit y came within reach. When he talks w ith bis iH-uiocr.ilic neighbors, with whom he delights to argue, Mr. rankin attributes his success to the Democratic party, but lie gets back to the administration of Andrew Jackson and the financial conditi ons which prevailed nt me nine iss- fore he completes his line of reason ing. "The Democratic party is the greatest educator on earth," is the et phrase of "D. It," as lie is col loquially termed by the populace of the neighborhood. "It made me what I am, mill it it hadn't Is-cu for Andy Jackson and his financial foolishness 1 might be at this minute drilling around the hills of Pennsylvania, or somewhere iu that locality." And then he launched into a story of his early career, which, for sheer force of diameter and the survival of (he littlest, has few panilels. David Haukiu s parents were ol of Scotch und (ierniau ancestry, aud at the time of Ihc birth ol'theii sou were residents of Siilivau coun ty. Ind. On May 2S, ISM, David Kaukin was Isirn. With his pa rents he moved to lienilersou comitv, 111., in 1S.16, mid here he had his first struggles with fate. Henderson county is one of the western tier of counties of the St ate, and borders on the Mississippi riv er, Ittirlington, la., being the near est city ol importance. Shortly af ter the family reached this section of the country ls?gau the triuls and tribulations which were attributed to the Jackson administration. The head of the house became ret duced by stress of circumstances to next dtsir to poverty. Money was unkuown, and the only method of exchange was the barter of articles of common use. llread was rarely obtainable, and Mr. Itunkin relates that the finest wheat which w as ground iu the family piece of bread he ever ate was made trout a coffee mill. HOW HK GOT HIS HTAUT IN MFK. The family reached the point where the constable g notice was tacked on the door, and David's nature revolted, liy strenuous ef forts he, with his brother, succeed ed in postponing the sale and finally redeemed the property, and this was his start iu life. With bis brother he decided to go into busi ness on his ow n hook, and by work ing bv the day the two managed to secure a yoke ol oxen. With this yoke they went to work for neigh bore aud assisted in clearing off the bottom laud surrounding Ootiawka, and made thereby the first uiouey which either possessed, Land was chenp In the Missis sippi bottoms st that lime, and eveutuallv, as their cspital iu creased dollar by dollar, David was enabled to purcbas a few acres. Ity helping his ueighbors and get ting parcels of land in exchange tor labor, his possessions Increased, aud it was bnt a few years nutil be had enough laud cleared which kept him busy tending for himself. By the closmt attention to bust ncuan,d by taking advantage of everv opportunity wbicu came along, his property gradually in creased and became more valuable as the adjsceut country waacleared aud railroads were projected. At the beginning of the war be was known as a man of means throngn western Illinois, and at the end of the war his small fortune bad doubled.

MKMIIKU K ILLINOIS INVIXTItiAT 1M1 oiMMITTKK- Shortly after this episode he was named as a member o( a committee to iuveatigute charges which had lieen made with regard to the man n'fiueut ui the iieuitentiary at Juliet, at that time controlled by his own party. One of the party managers Mpproached bun at Springfield aud remonstrated that he was going into the matter en tirely tm thoroughly. lUnkin re plied that in the Investigation lie knew neither friend or party and that he was going to investigate ihe nlT.iir from top tu Istttoiu. A few days later he was the victim ol a ja-rsoiiaJ assault, on uccouui oi his stand, and the incident lives to this day as the story of an houest mail iu the Illiuois legislature. When his term as a legislator was closing, be was urged by his friends to become a candidate for Congress, and with the pri.e practically ith iu his grasp he was defeated by a combination which resulted in the nomination of Cupt. II. F. Maihol Hancock county, who U still in Congress. Mr. Kaukiu claims that his deleat (or this nomination is the greatest thing that has hap M'iied in his career. "If I had Ih-cii nominated, win knows where I would Ih how! said Mr. Kaukin. "I here is no money in politics." Mr. ltankin, however, is known in Illinois as a man who sat through three sessions of the legislature without having made a cent or having lost much. In the early 'Mi's, Ihe eldest son ftliu Kaukin family had finished his education. His father called lim iuto his room one day and asked him hs to plans for the fu tine. The elder Kaukin had sup posed that the son w itb his college training would seek some mercan tile pursuit or one of the profes sions, or at least would ask for a position iu the First National Hank f Monmouth, a good share ol 'Inch David Kankiu owned at that time. His son replied: '! think I will lie a farmer, father," and this so surprised and overjoyed the father that the very next day he started for the West to look up a suitable place for the sou to locate. I poii the trip he was riding through the Missouri Valley near where Tarkio now stands. I wits climbing up one hill and dowu another," said Mr. Kaukin, until I was suddenly struck with the Idea that this was a little bit the best land I ever saw, and I de cided that this was where I wanted to get to." In two days' time land ageuts were scouting over the coun try round, and before the week was over David Kaukiu had become the possessor of 2,001) acres of virgin Missouri soil. Kusteru speculators were the owners and were glad to dispose of it at prices ranging from ill to II 0 per acre. The land now comprised in ranch 12, which is valued ut 1 12.) per acre, w as bought for S7.50. The son came out from Illinois and was in charge of the earlier operations, while the first purchases were constantly Is-ing added to. Before long Mr. Kaukin with bis family followed, and with his urn val came the inception of business which has reached incredible pro portions. KYHTKM THK MI.CUKT OK RAXKIX MKTIKll). The secret of the ltankin method was system. bile his property was still iu the formative period, the slightest detail did not fail his notice, and this principle he has maintained while his farming inter ests have touched the incredible poiut Today David Kaukiu stands an quest ioued as the greatest individ ual farmer In the world. I be pro prietor of 2.1,000 acres of the finest Missouri soil, he undoubtedly is the largest individual land owner. It reipiires but a glance nt the magni tude of bis transactions to lie con vinced that to him belongs the title of the uncrowned king of farming. Mr. Kaukin himself owus 20,000 acres which are located in Atkin son couuty, Mo., joined by .'1,000 acres in Fremont, la., just across the lino. His son, W. t. Kaukin, is the proprietor of 5,000 acres of his own and various Interests Iu which the two own mm h land in the vicinity. The interests of the father and son are entirely se penile aud managed distinctly. The David Kankin land is divid ed iuto ranches, numbered from 1 breakfast for the household is served. Iu the next hour his team and buggy have reached the door aud he has ta-eu rapidly driven to the olhce, where iu turu each foreman is called up, aud after a brief re lHirt as to hapiH'uiugs of the 2-1 hours previous, gets directions for the day. After a conversation with his private aecretarv, Mr. llson. w ho manages the business affairs and books Mr. Kaukin is off for a twenty-five or liny-mile drive to some of the ranches. This takes the day, and on bis rounds nothing escajies the eagle eye of the mil lionaire cattle feeder. His fii-st concern is the corn, for it is the com that makes the busi ness. Of the half million bushels which are raised on his land, every ear is fed and uot an ounce is sold. The first principle of his system is, "I5uy corn and uever sell." From all his ueighbors the corn pours into his cribs, and some seasons he has fed more than 1,000,00 bush els of the great fat maker. If there is u weed or a bad sign iu any ol his fields it is most distressing to him, and all operations end until the trouble is removed. In these trips he makes srsonal oliscrva tiou of circumstances, and his sug gestions are acted umiii instantly. The thousands of cuttle ami other thousands of hogs also come under his penetrating g:ize, but first and foremost it is com, and if nowhere else, corn is king on the ltankin ranches. It is planned that each year two thirds of the acreage is planted in corn. I lie remaining nurd is in oats, wheat or grass, and every seven years the laud is "rested." At the (i line there is an elaborate business system. K.ich foreman keeps an individual payroll and expense account. With his month ly report these are forwarded not ater than the llltu of the month to the central ollicc for auditing. The reports of the foremen are most laborate and thorough. I pun a blank which must tie filled iu with ink are reported facts concerning these items: Men, steers on feed, stock cattle, bulls, cows, calves, work horses, colts, ponies, hogs (giving average weight), pigs un der 50 pounds, wagons (old and new), sleds, cultivators, barrows, drills, listers, plows, corn planters, stackers, hay racks, stalk rakes, sulky rakes, binders (com and grain), mowers, seeders, corn cut ters, sets of harness, wind nulls, tanks, hay (tame and wild), corn in field (number of acres aud esti mate), corn on hand in crib, oats, rye, wheat seeds. I'pmi the reverse side of the sheet is given the state ment of orders issued. From thse reports a balance is made each month, and at the end of the year a statement covering the year's transactions is made, which approximates very closely what the business has amounted to.

Une season em ployment agencies in the cities sent out as many of the meu as were needed, but their work was not satisfactory and Individuals are now hired as they come along. Mr. Kankin will not retain a man who does not farm an average of two acres of corn a day. By this he means that each man must shell his seed corn, disk the ground twice and cultivate it four times in an average period of fifty days, which iucludes five days for a fish ing trip if the man has doue bis work well, aud bis record at the end of the season must be an aver age ol two acres for each day he has worked.
