cargo consists of 1900 barrels of bread, and
1915 barrels of bacon. The bacon and bread

FARMING ON A PATRIARCHAL SCALE
Michael L. Sullivan, Esq, for many years
one of the largest and most devoted farmers
OF Ohio, whose broad acres stretched along
the rich valley of the Scioto in sight Of the
dome of the capital is now the leading farmer
of the northwest. Some years ago he sold
his valuable lands in Franklnton, and rein
vested in the then cheap, rich, vast, and I'M
settled prairies Of Illinois. Nine miles from
Homer on the Great Western railroad, and
seventeen miles from Tolona, on the Illinois
Central, in Champaign county, ten years ago
the magnificent farm Mr. Sullivan now culti-
Yates was dreary waste, and its vicinity a
solitude. He entered in 1858, more than 90
0OO acres, expended 100000 IN permanent
improvements, and new farms rising 5000
acres. The remainder is under fence, and
will in time be farmed. Mr.. Sullivan has
10000 additional acres in the county adioin-
ing Champaign, but unimproved.
correspondent of the Chicago Journal
who has recently been taking notes of the sys-
tematic farming operations of Mr.. Sullivan,
states that his books show a clear profit last
year of $4,000 The writer says Every ex
pense OF improvement or labor is daily and
carefully entered, and his books are balanced
ana Kept with an accuracy equal to any bank
III the state. For instance, every laborer,
morse, mule or OK is named, and time book
is kept OF each. The farm is laid off in sec
lions and every days work, together with the
production and Improvement is entered, and
Proht and loss, debt and credit, are fairly ex-
mplted. This is his system, and is invioiable.
one statement will startle the credulity of
most men, even farmers-that 1900 acres of
corn were cultivated last year by 1900 days
manual labor. His books show this fact
ana more. Every days work of horses, oxen
ana mules on the farm, and parts of the farm,

AN OLD WELL REoPENED.-The old well in
front of DIR. Green's estate, on Main street, was
opened on Monday for repairs, and, it being
found that it was eight feet in diameter, with six
teen feet of depth of water in it, the chief engi-
neer requested the city authorities to try the ex-
pertinent of pumping out the water with the
steamer. Thesteatner occupied twenty-four min
utes in lowering it ten feet, which circumstance
shows that the well is great source of supply of
water in case of fire for buildings in that imme-
diatc neighborhood. The authorities have caused
a convenient passage into the well to be cut in
the stone so that hose can be easily run into the
water when occasion shall occur.
