MONEY IN FARMING
The Way TO Make ft is 60 Stick 20 the
Business.

TFrom the Germantown Telegraph
Every cultivator wants to know primar-
ly how TO make money. He follows his
calling as merchant pursues his business.
1t is not merely that he farms to live and
be comfortable. He wants to do all that,
but he would like to make ''a pile" as peo-
pie in other walks of life try to do.
Every now and then the newspapers try
to tell him how to get rich; and it is gem
orally by planting this or that, by trying
upland 'srice- or some such article now in
demand, and above all advertised in our
columns" Or perhaps he will be told to
go here, or settle there, where land is cheap
and no manure needed, or where in some
way there is to be some especial advantage
which no other man but himself, or at least
few other men, are to possess.
We have been struck with a passage in
one of the obituary notices of Vanderbilt
He died worth, it is said, over So, 900, 900.
When asked how he brought this all about
he replied, by having business you like,
trying to understand it, and then stick to
it and no other. People thought he was q
speculater, but he was no such thing.
diate relation to the exact business he had
in hand. He despised speculation; and it
is well to let our farmers boys, who think
that it is so easy to get living by the
chances of city speculations, know this.
He loved his business and labored at it,
but it was not til half his life had passed
away that he vas worth $50, 200. 1t was
not till comparatively old age that he be-
came rich. Had Vanderbilt died at SO, as
so many do, his obituaries would have been
very short and commonplace Time was
quite as favorable to his great fortune, as
any other element that entered into it.
Still as he tells us. the foundation was in
sticking to his businessman this is just the
lesson we are always trying 10 teach. There
is not farmer in all this wide land but
if he have genuine love for his business,
determination to stick TO il through thick
and thin, and with good saving habits and
ordinary business prudence, but may in
tsisae become rich Ii needs no outside
speculation, no ventures 0sRey patents OF
new plants. He need not go from TINS pa
of this world to another. He should of
course use some discrimination at first,
choosing healthy locations, fair markets,
good neighbors, intelligent society. and so
ON. But having once made up ones mind
where to locate, stick to IL.

PREPAR7NG ron THE FAIR.

PREPARING FOR THE FAIR.
Little has been heard in this vicinity
lately about the worlds fair which is to be
held in Chicago, but its managers keep
moving along. The national commission
has met, organized, and adjourned until
October. The local corporation has been
authorized to increase its capital stock
from So, 900, 900 (already subscribed for) to
S10, 1000, 900, but no great effort has been
made to gain additional subscriptions.
One-fifth of the 50, ,0O0, 900 has been called
in; about $500, 900 has been expended.
The Legislature of Illinois, convoked in
special session, has provided by law for
the submission to the electors of the state
lin November) of constitutional amend
i.sAnt which. if ratified, will leave the city
of Chicago free to BOND itsshf s $685. 900
in aid of the exposition; but a favorable
popular vote in Chicago itself las well as
in the state at large) is made necessary to
its ratification. The legislature further
authorized the use of public park
grounds for exposition purposes,
and (conditionally) the expenditure of
$500, 900 in the permanent improvement of
such grounds SO utilized. If they get the
s., ,0O0, 900 from the city in addition to the
s., 900, 900 subscribed stock, the directors
think they can raise another $1,000, 900, if
needed, by the issue of debenture bonds.
For the site of the exposition buildings the
local corporation has offered Subject to
the assent of the authorities) and the ma
tional commission has accepted portion
of the lake front and 500 (unimproved)
acres in Jackson Park. The common
council of Chicago has assented to the use
for this purpose of seventy-five acres of
| the lake front out of water and seventy
five acres at present under water-the
money expended in getting the submerged
part into shape for use to be repaid by the
| city.
| So good start has been made. But il
is evident that there will have to be some
very lively work to get the great show
ready on time.

The Center OF Population.
rr-n~, sl,. g. Tnssfs Rnrathi1c

In .179O the center of population was
twenty-five miles west of Baltimore.
Since that time il has moved westward at
an average rate of about ffty-cne miles in
each decade, never deviating a degree
north or south of the thirty-ninth paral-
lei. The greatest progress was between
1850 and 1850, when it travelled eighty-one
miles, from point in Virginia to twenty
miles south of Chillicothe, O. This, of
course, was caused by the gold excitement
and consequent settlement of the Pacific
coast. In 1870 the center of population
was forty-eight miles northeast of Cincin-
natl, o. The census of 1880 showed that
it had advanced fifty-eight miles in the de-
cade and had DETECTED to the south, being
near Taylorsyille, KY. It is anticipated
that the present census Will find il some
where in Jennings county, Ind If this
westward movement continues at the pres
ent rate it will cross the Mississippi near
St. Louis in the year 1880.

DENVER, Jan. 1.-THE only portion
OF Colorado which suffered a snow block
ade so lar this winter is that in the vi
cinity of Coneios range. No trains havt
passed between Alamosa and Durango
since last Friday. The passenger which
left Alamosa on that day, pulled by three
engines, is now snow bound three miles
this side of Cumbers and all the engines
are off the track. Snow plows are at
work and, it is expected the road will be
opened some time to morrow.
The snow blockade came to an end this
afternoon, the first passenger train ar
irving at Alamosa from Durango, The
passengers say it was the most severe
storm known In that section for years.
Snow was drifted in many places twenty
feet deep, and in the cut where the trains
were stalled the snow was six feet above
the top of the cars. None of the pas.
sengers on the snow bound train suffered
as they were near a section house and
had plenty of food and fuel.
