Thirty Years Aen.

Thirty years ago we had no railroads aud
farm products were hauled by wagon to San
dusky City or Massllon for a market, and Dry
Goods merchants were over-stOcked with butter
at cts. per d., eggs at cts. per dozen chickens
ut II per dozen, pork al 50 per cwt., and beef at
81 90 per cwt, wheat from 37l5 to 40 cts. per
bushel, and 1t being customary then in many
cases to receive wheat on dues to county news
papers, we provided store-boxes in the Office TO
store it,.
Thirty gears ago, farmers generally were op-
posed to railroads, on the ground that II would
ruin hOrse-raising, and necessarily lower the
price of corn and oats. This view of the case
was a natural one without the experience o (
their operation. There was then no railroad in
Ohio, save the Mad River road Just commenced.
and the Sandusky and Mansfield road, made
from Sandusky City to Monroeylle, and run by
horse power, these roads being first laid with
strap iron. Ground was broken at Mansfield
in May, 1870, on the Sandusky, Mansfield and
Newark road by James Hedges, Gen, Bently
and John Stewart, Esq; James Purdy, Esq =,
being President Of he Rrad. Its completion to
Mansfield from MOnrOeville, a few years subse-
quent, was the starting point in the progress of
our town and county.
Thirty years ago, farmers used the sickle and
cradle to cut their grain the fail and horse
trampng on the barn loOr TO get it ont, the COM
mon hand mill 10 separate the wheat FROM the
chaf, and then wagon ii sixty miles to get it
into market. Labor-saving machinery has now
become indispensable TO the cutting and thTesh-
ing of grain, aud in few days thereafter il ia
either stored in extensive ware houses or in the
Atlantic cities by rail, and the ayails in the
pocket of the f'rmer, Now, poultry, butter and
eggs have ready market at evory farmers door,
atalmost eastern city prices.-Maayieid Shield
