the end of the season and at planting
time he simply hopes for good yield at
good prices.
Is this acting on business principles
or at direct variance herewith? Does
it not clearly concern him to forecast,
as he may be able, the probable wants of
the markets and the best estimated sup
ply next available? Also should not the
farmer be concerned as to the matter of
cost, both of production and transporta-
tion to the best market points. These
matters NAV seem to be of secondary
mportance to some, but when we take
into consideration the fact that as to
wheat growing, the small margin of five
cents bushel determines the matter of
gain or loss, and on corn or oats only
three cents per bushel will serve to alike
determine profit or loss. On cotton
one cent per pound will decide this same
question, and on oranges, ten cents box
is all there need be to carry the account
from one scale to the other that of gain
to one of loss. In view of a fact like this
it surely becomes important for the
farmer or fruit or vegetable grower, to
ascertain closely as it is possible for him
to do, at just about what cost he can
grow bushel of wheat, or a pound of
cotton, or a box of oranges, or barrel
of potatoes, or whatever he may choose
to grow. The wheat growers of Aus
tralia have publicly stated that they
can afford to grow wheat at a trifie less
than forty cents per bushel. If the
writer was wheat grower he would put
that little piece of information where lie
could see it daily and act accordingly
that is drop wheat growing, at least be-
yond home wants.
Why should tn farmer continue year
after year to grow cotton or wheat to sell
at prices fellow the cost OF production?
Or why jump at growing some new CT, p
every year the production Of which he
is quite unable to tell the probab e cost

and this with a general rise Of labor
earnings carrying with it a more artifi-
cial and expensive manner Of living, have
wrought such a wide spread change
that men are puzzled to tell how to fifty
meet this new order of things. Official
and professional services are compen-
stated out of all proper proportion with
the farmers earnings. A railroad en-

Low Prices for Farm Products.

With wheat at less than fifty cents
per bushel of 60 pounds; or about rs
cents per 100 pounds for a No. l grade at
home markets; with cotton and wool at
lower prices than the writer can recall
in the past; with depreciation of over
500, 00O,O0 in the value o sheep during
the past year in the United States an6
about $50, 900, 900 in the value of hogs
during the same time; with horses anG
cattle drag upon the markets at steadily
lowering prices; with farm products
generally selling at lower rates than
seem just to the growers, the inquiry
naturally arises, what can cause this
state of affairs-this pressure upon the
farmers?
Having entered upon farming as a
chosen occupation in 1850, the writer
claims to have had an unusually long
line of experience and observation tC
aid in solving the problem why such low
prices prevail and why the farmers are
not justly dealt with. The agricultural
interests are quite as sorely pressed ir
England, in Germany and at other points
as in the United States.
Measures of relief are called for al
several widely separated points. In

is claimed that overproduction has
brought a bout this state of low prices;
such for instance, as last years cotton
crop of over 5000, 900 bales in this coun-
try alone There is no room for any
doubt but what ma ;hlnery has played
an important part in lessening the cost
of production and transportation to dis
tant markets, and while at first thought
it would seem this should have worked
a gain to the producers 1T has been
usually attended with larger produc-
tion and in some cases very clearly
brought down prices to the lowest point
possible for the producers to still con-
tinue their annual output.
No doubt farmers have stood in their
own light frequently, by seeking to draw
upon the fertility of virgin soils to make
crops which only paid mere trifie above
the actual cost of production.
Also some have erred in expanding re-

terials for nUn-paying crops, groves, etc.
This kind OF experimentation must needs
come to an end sooner or later, and I'M
til it has run it's race the only natural
consequence was dead weight upon all
agricultural efforts lying in the same
direction. To illustrate this point some
what more clearly, let us estimate PEG.

sought to be grown. and by unfavorable
conditions only four bushels are actually

Now if instead of only four bushels per

under ver/ favorable conditions that six
bushels were realized, the natural re

CLEVELAND, Aug. 30. The recent ad-
vance in the price of bar iron has caused
the puddlers to discuss wages again. The
question in controversy is whether or not
puddlers' wages are to advance Sept. / to
$3.50 a ton, based on the average selling
price Of bar iron during July and August,
or not until Oct l. The secretary of the
Western Iron Manufacturers association
says the advance will not take effect until
Oct. 1, but President Garland, of the
Amalgamated association, says puddlerr
wages should be increased Sept. l. An
other conference may be necessary.

ROBERT ]. THE WTNNER
The Champion PAGER Gets Another
Race to His Credit.
WON IN THREE STRAIGHT HEATS

Crowd variously Estimated at Twelve
60 Eighteen Thousand witness the Great
Event-Gentry Takes Second Place and
Mascot Third.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O-Tho number pres
ent at Fleetwood Park Yesterday is CON
servatively estimated at 900, and some
enthusiasts place it as high as $4,000
The capacity of the club house and amphi-
theatre were fully taxed and hundreds
crowded the quarter stretch and infield
The attraction was of course the con-
test between the champions of the pacing
brigade, Joe Patchen, Robert j., Gentry
and Mascot Mascot drew the pole and
they went to the quarter in 81 seconds,
Robert j. a good length in the lead The
half was reached in 1.O2 the positions be-
ing relatively the same. Going up the hill
in the third quarter Joe Patchen made a
disastrous break just as Curry was pre-
pairing to make his drive Robert j. now
looked to have the heat safe, but second
later Mascot came on and assumed the
lead, gaining an advantage of at least five
lengths.
Robert j. quickly recovered however,
and as he felt the electric touch of Ed
Geers along the reigns he came like a
meteor, rapidly overhauling Mascot pass
ing him hundred yards from the wire
and winning amid great applause.
In the second heat, Joe Patchen dashed
the hopes of his hackers by bad break
after getting the word. When he re-
covered he was hOpelessly out of the hunt,
and Curry wisely gave him an easy mile.
Again Robert J. swung out in tho lead,
both Gentry and Mascot hanging to his
flanks with a grip that he could not shake
of. They reached the quarter in 30A sec
onds, the intense interest of the crowd
being manifested by a subdued murmur
as the time was announced. Down the
half the pace was quickened, the second
post being reached in 1.0O%. Still the
two PAGERS were clinging to Robert J s
side, and the three-quarters post was
reached in 1881 At the distance flag
McHenry, Gentry's driver, resorted to the
whip, but he could not reach, and Geers
guided Robert j. under the wire first by
an open length in 2,O416 1t was the fast
est heat ever paced or trotted on Fleet
wood
The race was now conceded to Robert
j. The first part of the third heat was
much like the others, except that Joe
Patchen seemed to be an element, and the
clip was even faster Robert j. again
assumed the lead, the others close up and
the first quarter was reached in 3015 Sec
onds. The horses went we'll buuched to
the half in l minute At the Point of
Rocks, Joe Patchen stepped into Gentry S
wheel, tearing the tire off. The former
went to bad break and was out of it,.
Gentry came on with wabbling sulky
and beat Mascot for place. Geers pulled
Robert j. to mere jog to let Patchen in,
and finished in 2.04A. Had he been driven
out the mile might have been paced in
2.O4 or better.
