Probably the Largest Farmer in the
World.

Hiram Sibley of Rochester, N. Y, is
SAID to be the largest farmer in the world,
He owns more than hundred improved
farms. One in Illinois, formerly known as
the ''Sullivant Farm" contains 40, 600
acres; another in Cayugn Co., N. Y, $500
acres. Farmer Sibley" is not, however,
typical son of the soil, having long been
identified with great commercial enter
prises, and working harder with his head
than with his hands. He organized and
was for over fifteen years president of the
Western Union Telegraph Co.. and has
also had extensive railroad interests. He is
now the head of one of the largest seed
houses in the world. The name of Hiram
Sibley Co. is already household word
IN thousands of homes, to which their farm,
garden and flower seeds are sent each year.
They not only furnish seeds, but also valu-
able information as to best methods of
growing them. They publish the Farmers
Almanac, the northern edition of which
contains valuable articles on the culture of
special crops by the best American writer's;
the Farm Seeds Manual, which gives a rare
fund of information upon the growing of
all farm crops; also Flax Culture for Seed
and Fiber, which thoroughly discusses the
Flax production of the United States and
how to increase it. For these books, the
nominal price of ten cents each is charged,
but they send their Spring, FAN and Imple-
ment Catalogues free to all applicants.
They are undoubtedly good house to deal
with.

An April Morning.

An April Morning.
This morning when woke, heard
The low, sweet clatter Of a bird
Beside my window, where so long
I've missed the music Of the song
That filled last summer with delight.
And saw a sudden, arrowy flight,
A flash Of blue that scars and sings
A bit Of Heaven itself on wings.
"The blue-bird has come lack, " cried.
And flung the window open wide:
I leaned across the mossy sill
And heard the laughing little rill.
That comes but once a year, and STAYS
Through the brief roundof April days,
Then, when its banks with bloom are
bright
1t seems to vanish in n night.

a SKELETON HANGINo TO A TREE.
Discovery Which May solve the Mysterious
DiAappsnrance or Cadet IIeIden.

DAYTON, Oct. 2I.-Thc friends and rela-
tives OF Cadet Beldcn, of this city who mys
tericusly disappeared while at San Fran
cisco last May, had their worst fears con.
firmed recently by como news received from
detective agency concerning the skeleton
OF man found an San Rafael. 1t seems
that sportsman while hunting shot quail,
which fell In q th!cktt of bushes. Seeking
hls game he discovered figure, as he
Thought, reaching to pick 1t up.
To his horror, on close inspection, he
found 1t to be skeleton partly clothed, ard
with some remains Of dccomposed flesh upon
Its bones. 1t at once occurred to him that
neck to the branch of a tree indicated sui
eide or lynchiDg for real or alleged crime.
No letters or jewelry were 10 be found.
Minute descriptions were sent to Belden's
friends, and one of them went to examine
the remains, but was unable to fully identify
them as Belden's.
If this skeleton is not that of Belden 1t de-
velops clue 10 another mystery. The cloth
ing found Is that Of u young mau In fair cir
cumstances and from the Fast. His Derby
hat was made in Paris and sold by local
:radesman at New Haven, Conn. 1t is con.
jectured on this hypothesis that a young
man, probably student from Yale College,
had been prospecting on the Pacific coast for
location, and becoming discouraged and
out of funds had departed from the usual
highways and committed suicide In that
lonely place.
An administrator has been appointed on
Belden's ettate, but there are few who cling
to the hope that he is yet alive.
