Mr.. Lanyon, the senior member OF
the Lanyon Coal Co., of Upton, Mo-,
which has leased the Davis coal mine
of this city, was here this week looking
after the trouble in the mine. Mr..
Lanyon discharged all of the old en-

HON. JOHN S. PRINCE.

LIZ response to your request for few
suggestions as to farming and its spe-
calties, let me say that there is no
question that diversified farming is by
far the best. Wheat cannot be success
fully grown at its present price OF IS to
80 cents per bushel. In fact, there is no
product, at the present prices, that will
pay.
The farmer must cultivate less land,
and do his own work. He cannot af-
ford to employ labor at its present
price. Farmers, as rule. attempt too
much, and cultivate too large tracts of
land, and use too much machinery.
They do not take proper care of their
machinery after it is acquired. hence
their expenses exceed their income.
They must learn to be more economical,
and to raise that which they can best
dispose Of In their own locality.
The extremely low price of poultry
the past fall. as well as of all other
products, is only equaled by the price
of sugar-four cents per pound. When
wheat sold at so cents and 81 bushel,
sugar was 10 and IL cents. and so with
all other things. When were dry goods
as cheap as today? And will not the so
cent wheat buy as much as the one
dollar article used to purchase? And
are we not finding fault with the low
price without making proper compari-
sonwith other low prices? These things
all want to be considered fully in esti-
mating our expense and cost of living.
