In Hard Times.

Eighteen hundred and eighty four was
one of the severest years on the farmer
that have ever been known in our life
time. Wheat and corn have not been so
low priced in the memory of young farmers.
In Kansas the corn was allowed to rot on the
ground, thousands of bushels Of it, because
the price was 50 low that it did not pay even
the exorbitant shipping rates asked by the
railroads. The same was true Of wheat.
Shallow economists raised the cry Of over
production-over-pro Of wheat and
corn At the same time, however, in Boston,
in New York and Philadelphia, in st. Louis
and Chicago people were every day dying Of
starvation and committing suicide for want
of the very wheat and corn that were rotting
in the barns and upon the ground out in Kan
sas. These starving people have not been
asked whether they thought there was over
production of bread materials.
So far as appears the small grain farmers
have had the hardest time of it. In the
prairie states men whose farms include whole
counties have mostly absorbed the wheat and
corn growing interests Great stock COM
panies with immense capital have been able
to do the work Of agricultural production
cheaper than the small owners. The same
influence, gigantic combinations Of money
that have driven small traders and manufac-
turers to the wall the country over, are be-
ginning to be felt among agriculturists
The past season the grim specter Of bank
ruptcy has stalked among the farmers as
everywhere else. In the far west numbers Of
them have become discouraged, abandoned
agriculture and become miners.
Every branch Of the farmers living seems
depressed and suffering. One writer in a
rural journal tells us that it now takes a ton
and half of corn to buy his wife a Sunday
dress. Skim milk and mush eaten from tin
cup he declares to be the present rustic fare,
and eighteen hours a days work, with the
women and children to do the corn husking,
while the father must hunt odd jobs at day
labor in order to keep square with the world.
Even making allowance for the writer's poetic
imagination the picture is gray enough.
The sheep industry is passing through a
season of frightful depression, the last, it is to
be hoped, of term which has lasted three or
four years. In spite of the great apple crop
of last fall one hears from many quarters
news that it is becoming more and more diff
cult every year TO make orchards bear q
profitable yield. The outlook is tough enough
all around. Well, under the most discour-
aging circumstances, there is only one thing
any human creature can do, and that is
simply to hold on. Do not let go the hardles,

The Illinois State Board of Agriculture,
greatly to the disgust of Peoria, Springfield,
Decatur aud other ambitious outlying ham
lets, has relocated the State Fair at Chicago
for the next two years, If the season Is ia
vorable, and the weather during fair week
good, the State Fair is likely to be sue
cess without much regard to where it Is To-
Gated, If the point is reasonably accessible
but with an unfavorable season and a rainy
fair week, neither Chicago, Peoria or
Springfield can save 1t from as discourag-
ing failure as 1t met at Chicago last year

Co-operation Among Farmers.

Cooperation Among Farmers.
While the prices of all the food products
the farmer has to soil have scarcely been SO
low in the memory Of the present generation,
the curious fact remains to be explained that
the consumers of these articles are in no way
benefited by the low prices Small retail
buyers of beef, -four and mutton pay nearly
as much for these articles as they did during
high-priced times Butter and eggs are quito
as high as ever. In midwinter eggs climb to
such a price as to be quite out Of reach OF
poor people; that, too, with no scarcity OF
them in the country. A fire in city
warehouse some time ago disclosed 1000
dozen eggs that had been bought up and
packed away to keep them out Of reach Of
the people till their necessities forced the price
up to three times what it ought to be. Last
fall countless wagon loads Of apples rotted in
orchards or were made into cider, yet this
winter fruit is 80 dear that New York board
ing houses supply very few apples to their
tables One thing is certain, the farmer gets
none of the benefit Of these high prices, nor
will he until producer and consumer arc
brought nearer together. Farmers might
establish depots Of their own in the cities and
market towns for at least the sale in quantity
of their own products. Educated farmers
who keep their eyes open could well superin-
tend such business II too busy to direct
all its details personally, they could see that
it was in the hands Of hired agents who were
honest and competent. It would speedily
make world Of difference If the farmers
would take this matter into their own hands.
Co-operation in all branches of business is
the c,Ire Of eytOrtion and monopoly It il the
wise and peaceable remedy of the future.

FARM zGARDIEN
4 Cheap Cottage.

Here is tasteful and picturesque design for
cheap house. The great art in putting up a
building is to make it look the best one can
for the money. Too many farm residences
look like nothing so much as a succession Of
cowsheds, one ''lean-ton following another
Or when not that, the rural home on its out
side is too often merely box, long and mar
row, or square, as the case may be.
The pretty little house in our cut obviates
both these difficulties The roof is simple,
and yet broken enough not to present dull
monotony. The two designs do not need
much explanation. The cellar is feet deep
The foundation is of stone or Of hard-burnt
brick. Stone is better and handsomer. The
first story is 8 feet between floor and ceiling.
The first story has double floor, the second
one single floor. The second is half story,
So feet high in the middle. The dimensions
Of the building and plan of first floor are
given in our second cut.
The second floor contains two chambers, q
hall, and a space which may be left unfinished
as lumber room, or made into bedroom.
In the unfinished plan the whole structure
costs only $500, contractors estimate; COM
plete, the cost will he more. But in any case
such home, with its picturesque outline, its
abundant, handsome windows, and flowers
and trees growing all about it, represents love
in a cottage indeed.
