The Emperor Who Is Now In the
United SLnteS.

Dom Pedro was born December 2,
1925, and is, therefore, in his ffty-frst
year, His father, Dom Pedro l., wa,
the first emperor Of Brazil, and was the
son Of King John vi. and Queen Donna
Maria /. Of Portugal. The royal family
fed to Rio when the French entered Por-
tugal in 1907, and when they returned
the Prince Regent remained and became
emperor after the revolution of 1922.
He abdicated in 1881 in favor of his son,
the present emperor, who was then only
five years old, and returning to Portugal
drove out his usurping brother, Don
Miguel, and enjoyed II short lived reign.
Dom Pedro II. wa declared Of age at
fourteen, by act Of the Brazilian lcgisla-
ture, and was crowned July Is, lS4l.
His reign has been an era Of continued
progress and prosperity for a country
that had previously been constantly dis
ftractcd by the quarrels of factions, and
frequently torn by civil war. The ma
ton has made great advance in the path
of civilization and Of material develop
ment. Population has increased, schools
have been established, railways built
vast tracts Of country explored and set
tied, and lines of steam communication
established upon the great interior rivers
as well AS between the Bcaports and tn,
United States, and Europe. In a word
a raw colony, sparsely pcopled by mixc'
and lawlcss races, has been converted
into a compact and powerful nation
This result is due, in great part, to thu
firm and wise rule Of the emperor. Among
all the reigning sovcreigns of the worl'
he is beyond doubt the most learned
cultured and liberal minded.
Dom Pedro was married when seven
teen years of age, to Theresa Christine
Maria, daughter of Francis l., king o

The Chicago Times has a few truthful
paragraphs describing fancy farmers,
which read as follows;
No class OF men have been ridiculCd 50
much, and none have done SO much good,
~ those whc are dcnominntcd fancy
farmers. They have been, in all times
and countries, the hcnciaCtOrS OF the men
who have treated them with dcrision,
They have been to farmers what invent
ors have been TO manufacturers. They
have experimental for the good of the
world, while others have simply worked
for their own good. Thcytcstcd theories
while others have raised cropsiOr market.
They have given u dignity and glory to
the occupation Of farming it never had
before.
Fancy farmers have changed the wild
boar into the Suffolk and Berkshire; the
wild bull OF Britain into the short-horn
the mountain sheep, with its lean body
and hair fleece, into the Sonthdown and
the Mcrino. They brought up the milk
of cows from pints to gallons. They
have heightened the sirlOin of the bul-
lock, dccpcned the uddcr of the COW, en-
largcd the ham Of the hog, given strength
to the shoulder of the OK, rendered finer
the wool of the sheep, added lcctncss to
the speed of the horse, and made bcauti-
full every animal that is kept in the ser
vice of man. They have improved and
fastened the development of all domestic
animals till they hardly resemble the
creatures from which they sprang.
Fancy farmers introduced irrigation
and understanding, grinding and cook
ing food Tor stock. They brought guano
from Peru and nitrate of soda from Chilli.
They introduced and domcsticatcd all
the plants we have OF foreign origin.
They brought out the theory of rotation
ol crops AS II natural mcansor keeping up
and increasing the fertility of the soil.
They first ground up gypsum and bones,
and treated the latter with acid to make
manure of u peculiar value. They first
Analysed soils AS n means of determining
what was wanted to increase their icrtil-
ity. They introduced the most improved
mcthsds of raising and distributing water.
Fancy iarmcrsO or fancy hOrticulturists
have given us all our varieties OF fruits,
vegetables and flowers. A fancy farmer
in Vermont n few years ago originated
the Early Rose potato, which added mil
lions of dollars to the wealth of our coun-
try, and proved to be a most important
accession IN every part OF the world
where it was introduced. Another OF
these fancy men originated the Wilson
strawberry, and another the Concord
grape. 1t was a fancy farmer who brought

Among the men in this country who

proved rice; the third, the use of LAND
plaster, and the fourth, the raising Of
lucerne. More than any men of thcil
time did they add to the wealth of the
country. After them came another rae,
of fancy farmers, who introduced Ara
bian horses, Spanish sheep, and the i'm
proved breeds of English cattle and swine
These fancy farmers added immensely Il
