OF crops is too low to allow large pur-

to suppose that refuse salt, consisting
of coarse, hard Jumps mixed with dirt
and gypsum, is cheaper than fine salt.

to buy two plows; now with one steer
he can buy five plows. Then with one
steer he could get two and one-ha]f

tages that diversified industry gives
them in affording them ready and
good market. 1t is not here q question
as to how this affects daily wages, but
how 1T affects the price OF hogs and
beef cattle. FIFTY years ago nearly all
the people OF tins country were farm
ers, all trying to sell the same thing,
with no purchasers. Now diversity
