Some happy Farmers.

The return of prosperity and the
leign OF dollar wheat with its blessing
of financial relief to the farmer is an
old story" says the Augusta Chroni,
Gle. eve have seen a few statements
going the rounds of the press OF g
Kansas farmer who bought a small
farm last year, on credit, and paid for
it With this years wheat crop, and
other farmers who have paid off mort
cages on their farms. We DO not
know how well authenticated these
stories are, and where names are given
they are not known so far from here.
Butitis our pleasure to be able to furn-
ish this morning galaxy OF names that
shine IN the agricultural armament
and are known not only to farmers,
but the world at large. These are
men who have taken the tide OF dol
lar wheat at its full when it led on
to fortune, and their fellow farmers,
all over the country, will rejoice in
their prosperity. Ex Secretary frances

the wheat market OF ST.. Louis and

Charles a. Pillsbury, Of Minneapolis,
is said to have made a profit of $72S,.

is big, well preserved specimen and
oa its back there IS whole family Of
little croc0diles. Years b,fore the
Christian era the Egyptians worship
ed crccodiles among their animal Gel
ties, and many specimens were kept
at great expense in their parks aud
royal gardens, where they wer: Al
.=nded by priests and given all SORTS u
dainty morsels fer fcod. When these
crocodile gods die they are emoalmeo
and placed in the tombs aioag WIZ
the mummies Of other sacred animals.
This particular crocodile was prepared
by dipping It in wax and pitch, which
rendered it hard and shiny, and it lay
IN one OF the pyramids century after

a Practical pbiIaprhronIsr.

VIXEN the present governor OF Michi-
gan vas mayor Of Detroit he proposed
that ali the vacant lots in the city
should be planted in potatoes for the
poor. He was subjecte3to much ridi-
cp!e oa account OF this scheme, and
Potato" P;ng:es became famous
throughout the Land, Pipgree is a
man of firm purpose, and he persisted
N his plans until those who had tried
to laugh il away stood abashed before
its practical and bene6cent results.
Potato patches for the poor have be-
come part OF the fixed policy Of De-
troit's municipal government. No
less than l, 53S families that have been
dependent upon charity to a greater
or less extent are working potato
patches this year. Their operations
crger 403 acres Of land, something less
han quarter of an acre per family.
They planted 5000 bushels OF potatoes
at 30 cents a busheI, and s., 500 worth
Of seeds. All that they raise is fort their
own consumption. The 1856 families
at work represent, according to Mr..
P. q. Dwyer, the secretary of the
board OF poor commissioners,
about 10000 persons or about one
twenty-ifth OF the entire popula
ton CT Detroit. It is said that tbs
Pingree system has done good far be-
yond mere temporary supply OF food
to the poor. It has taught industry
and self dependence and has had an
eie7ating influence on the habits OF
many who have worked in the Pin
gree patches. The experiment sue
ceeded SO well in Detroit that it has
been adopted with some notifications
in Chicrgo. The difference between
the two systems is that while Pingree
gardens in Detroit are supplied by the
city they are supplied in Chicago by
private subscriptions. 1t is claimed
that tie Chicago plan works better,
but it has not so far distributed its
benefits so widely. Chicago has only
149 families engaged in this industry,
while Detroit with about one.eighth
as much population as Chicago, has

lies, representing nearly 10000 per
sons. The Official reports show that in
Detroit last year l, 200 lots were cul-
tivated by 1,7O0 families; the work
cost tie city 81, 400, an average cost OF
81 IS lot. The tota! product was
estimated to be worth $50, ,99S, giving
SlS.25 worth of vegetables as the aver
age production of each lot. The re
suits this yearare expected to be even
more satisfactory. lis too late to
