Riches for the Farmers.
SECRETARY WILSON SAYS HIGHER PRIC
MEAN $500. OOO, 900.

SECRETARY WILSON SAYS HIGHER PRICES
MEAN $500 10000
The Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, in an interview in the Manu
factarers' Record, referring to the con-
dition of American farm interests at
present, says:
"The increase during the past year in
the price of farm products, VIII at and
other cereals, vegetables, and cattle for
dairy use and slaughter, has amounted to
hundreds cf millions of dollars, and may
be as great as $500, 900, 900, as has been
roughly estimated. The increase in the
value of the wheat crop alone is esti-
mated at from $50, oOO, 900 to 500, 900, 900
or more as compared with last year.
There has been general increase all
along the line, and just as the food of
live stock has increased in valu-, so have
beef, cattle, sheep, hogs and other stock
furnishing us our meat"
'The farmers of this country should be
just now the happiest people in the world,
because they are the most prosperous"
10 speaking of the general condition Of
agriculture Mr.. Wilson say:
Our statistics show that the wheat
acreage in 1896 was "a 61S. GAG, the yield
427 6S4, 346 bushels, and the value $780,.

remains. The average price was 72.6
cents per bushel, the highest since 1891,
SO 8 cents per bushe'. Already spot
wheat is selling at an advance, and how
much higher it will go 1 do not know.
The increase in price and yieli shoul d
amount to at least s75,00O.OOO, if not
100000. 600. Of course, l have no figures
bearing on the yield for 1897, and make
no predictions as to fluctuations in prices.
wheat is only one article. Take corn
OF course, the crop has not yet been
harvested. The prospects are, however,
for an abundant crop, and as it's price is
regulated to some extent by that of wheat,
good prices should be realized. There
has been falling { IF in the acreage of
about / 100000 as compared with 1896.
The total number of acres standing is
so. 095. 051. 1t is impossible, with no
figures at hand, to estimate the corn pro.
duct and the price. 1t is equally impos
sible, for the same reasons, to estimate

If any, of vegetables. hay, dairy products,

has been general increase in the average

Stripped of salesmen's fine words
it requires courage not to sell the
glittering meretricious pieces. They
sell easily because they look so
cheap. Wait until they crack and
blister and warp day by day under
your eyes after they are paid for
and it is too much trouble to upset

Manufacturers know better than
tosend US any such Furniture. They
get it back and pay the costs beside,

and many never note whether the
stamps are the right way up or upside
down. 1t was very different, however,
before the rush and roar of this half of
the century began, for it was next door
to crime, in the eyes of many, to affix
stamp with the queens head the
wrong way up. Many were not only
under the impression that her majesty
