AN EDITORS REWARD.

2 An editor died and went 10 the
worlds crematory. The devil met
him with smile of compassion and
thus shot off his mouth: "For many
long years thou hast borne the blame
of the bad spelling that the printers
have gotten of in the paper. The
paper hath gone out for 81, but alas
the 81 has often failed to come in for
thy paper. The printer has be-riled
thee for wages every Saturday night,
when thou hadst not darn farthing
to thy name. Men have taken thy
paper without even paying for 1t then
cursed thee for not sending out better
paper. Thou has been called dead
head by freight>conductor, and dead
beat by the passenger conductors, when
thou hast shown thy annual to their
envious gaze. All these things thou
hast borne in silence. Why comest
thou here? Go up higher, thou poor
man, an eternity of rest can scarcely
requite thee"

him to travel, he will take a sea voy-

The Size of the Farm.

Our Country Home.
1.-THE fewer acres the more profit says Terry,
and probably Terry is right--part of the time.
AS We see it, this question of the proper sizes
for farms is a relative one. and if the proper
proportion exists between the farm, the farmer.
and his working capital it matters but little
what may be the number of acres, within rea-
sonable limits, under one administration. There
is no reason, inherent in the amount of land
why mar possessing the requisite executive
ability to handle a 300-acre farm, or one twelve
times as large, should not make as much profit
per acre from that as from one of 100 acres, or
even less, provided he be supplied with the re-
quisite working capital The trouble is that in a
great majority of cases. the concern is out of
proportion, either the farmer or his capital gen
orally the latter. but sometimes both )sbeing too
small for the farm.

Correspondence Connecticut Farmer.
Some years ago a Kalamazoo gentleman aIter
noticing the exposure of teams coming to the
city, especially in cold or stormy weather, ue-
termined to give farmers an opportunity 10 maze
their horses comfortable during their stay 90
he purchased land just off the principal street,
and proceeded with his undertaking. lie was
made the subject of many jokes from ali quar-
tiers for his foolish enterprise, but he went on
and carried out his plan, and to-day there is
nothing in the city of Kalamazoo so popular with
country people coming to the city on business as
the farmers sheds.
Well, what are theyg
Well, suppose you live in the vicinity OF kala-
mazoo. You drive into the city with your VIE
and daughter to trade You turn from the prln-
cpal street through an alley and you are at the
farmers sheds. On the right is a waitingroom,
we'll furnished and comfortably warmed, sup
piled with hooks for overcoats. and hats, ana
wardrobes, and apartments for ladies' wraps; IN
another room are tables and a restaurant; as you
pass into the yard is a tank of water for horses.
You drive up to the platform of the waiting
room, you and your ladies alight by simply
stepping on the platform; you hand q
dime to an attendant hoster, ana ne
takes your horse and buggy to an empty
stall to stand until you call, giving him all need
ed attention Give two dimes, and your horse is
not only attended, but fed: In either case, you
are entitled to the privileges of the waiting ROOM
which includes tables where you may partake OF
your own lunch free, or for a low rate you have
n
desire. When you choose. you and yours go ont
on the street, transact all your business, do all
your errands and return to the shed waiting
room. It is needless to say that much socialify
is apparent here; farmers and their ladies' here
often meet and make many acquaintances On
the two days ! was there it was really surprising
how the 157 sheds seemed to be chiefly FIJI.
On Sunday the cuurch-goers use these sheds.
AS matter of course ladies arrange their toilets
leave their extra wraps, and on their return from
church they take warm soapstone, get thor
oughly warm, and find it much pleasanter than
formerly. before these sheds were offered. A
portion of these sheds have doors and locks SO if
a man comes in and desires perfect safety from
thieves he can have it.
How much such convenience enhances bust
ness. How often farmers drive into Kalamazoo
for business when they might not without the
accommodations at the sheds. How much church
attendance is increased by the hospitable provis-
ions of the farmers sheds.
l was glad to learn that so humane an institu-
ton had proved very profitable one, as well as
being very popular one, And the idea was
strongly impressed upon my mind that it might
be wisely copied by some of our interior cities and
large towns in New England

Government bonds were very dull and steady.
State bonds were very active and strong.
A conspicuous feature of the market is the ins
vestment demand for railroad bonds that may be
obtained at figures not much above par. The
business to-day was widely distributed and the
sales amounted to So, SCI, 900. OF this amount,
Canada Southern seconds contributed $685. 600,
and Erie second consols $4,000. Quotations

Stocks were active feverish and weak during
the FIRST hour. First prices were generally from ]
to l per cent. lower than the closing
quotations yesterday, and an unusually
irregular movement followed, with decided
weakness after 1890 o'clock. The transactions
during the day amounted to 289 300 shares
After IL o'clock, the market was dull and firm
until late in the day, when it again yielded frac-
tons, the greatest weakness being in coal stocks
and, late in the day, in grangers. The result of
the days operations is only moderate huctua-
tions except in few instances, while prices to-
night are at or within to per cent. of the low
est quotations reached and generally from small
fractions to Der cent. lower than last evening,
with an exceptional decline of II in
Lackawanna, Il in Delaware & Hudson, II in
Northwestern. and / per cent in Western
Union Lackawanna, st. Paul and Erie were
the most active. The feversh and weak condi
tion of the market in the morning was due to
the announcement that the leading drawers of
sterling exchange had advanced the posted rates
to the shipping point. Wall street was also well
supplied with rumors that shipments of gold were
to be made at once. The actual
rate for foreign exchange this morning, however
was somewhat below the price at which ship
ments can be made without loss; it stiffened to
within small fraction of that figure during the
afternoon. but there was not much business do
ing, and no engagements of gold We're made for
export. The firm tone that prevailed after the
morning hour is attributed to the determination
on the part OF leading operators. who, to great
extent, control quotations from hour to hour, to
resist any effort TO break the market. The mar
ket closed barely steady.
The market closed with the followls prices

very few friends in the early trading on Change
to-day, and from the start there was rapid I'M
loading of long property and snort selling,
under which May wheat dropped off to 8Sc
against 89c at the close of the trading yesterday.
The decline very steady all the way down,
but at the inside figure better buying set in.
which carried May up to 8Sac, some of the
shorts" appearing as active buyers on the way
up. The market settled back again
to 8Sac and remained very heavy to the
close of the regular board closing at $500.
The chief cause of the weakness was the
increase shown in the visible supply and con-
tinuation of the light shipping demand. Re-
cepts continue light at all primary points, with
shipments likewise very small. The feeling was
little steadier in the afternoon, prices, how
ever showing little change at the close. Specu-
