Was there any magic in the air, yesterday,
which operated upon the equines? In the af-

frightened at the cars, and started into run,
near the depot. He turned into Water street

Commenting on the above schedule, the
writer In the Atlantic Aoathly makes the
following remarks:
"This estimate makes the cost Of an
acre Of wheat yielding twenty bushels,
placed in Chicago, with an allowance Of
ten per cent. interest on the whole invest
ment for land, improvements, machinery,
tools and stock, and also OF twenty-five
per cent. for Wear and tear OF tools, ma.
chinery and stock, to be 5000, not In.
Guiding seed. Allowing 81 for the seed
will make the cost Of one acre OF wheat,
yielding twenty bushels, laid down In
Chicago, and paying an ordinary interest,
or profit OF ten per cent. on the entire In.
yestment, 50 20, or iorty.eight cents a
bushel. With wheat al eighty.hve cents
bushel in Chicago, this would give an
additional profit Of thirty-seven cents a
hnshel, or$7 40 per acre over and above
the 10 per cent. OF ordinary profit included
In the 50 70of cost. Atethis rate, the ex-
traordinary profit Of 81 40 per acre on the

In the face OF well attested exhibits like
the above, and a number OF others re-
corded in the pages Of the Atlantic article,
It will not be strange II considerable OF a
mania should break out for engaging In
bonanza farming as most promising
speculation. Hence we do not wonder
that organizations are forming in Wheel
ing and other communities under such a
stimulus. The two great facts brought out
by the article in the Atlantic are that those
who have gone into wheat growing upon a
large scale, making use OF the most i'm
proved machinery and cheap labor, are
making colossal fortunes at seventy cents
per bushel for wheat, limited only by the
number OF acres cultivated and the skill
with which the work Is done, and that
wheat may be grown at large profit for less
than forty cents per bushel; but that, on
the other hand, the small farmers, de-
pending mainly on their own labor, with
limited capital and less machinery, are
not makinga comfortable subsistence, but
are running behindhand, and must 60
ander, and that further reduction in the
market price for food products must hasten
their end,
