ed by short crop the next year. One
instance of his sagacity was shown the
year he raised SO much popcorn that he
was laughed at all over Iowa. There
had been a glut Of popcorn the year be-
fore, and every farmer had resolved to
let it alone the next year. Mr.. Wheeler
thought it would be a good year for
him to raise it. He went to New York
and looked at the market. One day he
telegraphed to his manager, ''Plant $40
acres of popcorn - He made profit
that year of $1,000 on popcorn alone,
and then it was his turn to laugh.
A dozen years ago Iowa people sni1-
ingly told the story of 1.-THE man in Sac
county who runs his farm by tele-
phone.'' This was Mr.. Wheeler. Each
section of his big farm was connected
by telephone with the managers Office.
Perhaps the people thought the manager
ought to spend his time trotting around
over farm that was three miles square.
Mr. Wheeler had no idea of wasting the
time he paid for in any such way.
He had many other labor saving de-
vices He bought the latest reapers, the
most improved feed cutters and other
patented implements. He spent a small
fortune in machinery, but his crops
were gathered with swiftness that as
tonished his neighbors, and his books
showed that the machines paid for
themselves. He introduced a system of
promotions which secured for him the
best farmhands in the country. He
paid good wages, too, and there are sew
eral farmers in that section of the state
today who bought their homes with the
savings from their salaries after a sea-
g. oil
After he had been raising immense
crops of corn, wheat and other grains
he went into stock raising. Finding
that there was steady demand for
heavy draft horses, he sent agents to
Europe and had them bring over lot
of Shire and Percheron horses. At one
time he was the largest breeder and i'm
porter of Percherons in the country,
and his agents have brought over as
many as 90 in lot About four years
ago he foresaw that there was to be a
decline in horse values, SO he began to
dispose of his stock. Next he turned his
attention to dairying, but he had not
F got fairly launched in this branch be-
fore he decided to change his scene of
/ operations. He sold his entire farm a
/ short time ago, but is to retain posses
sion until spring
In the meantime he has been buying
! land in Jefferson county, Tex, and he
now owns about 10000 acres about 80
miles northeast of Galveston along the
/ line of a proposed railroad This big
tract he is going to turn into a dairy
farm, and he viii keep 1000 COWS for
the purpose of supplying the Galveston
district with milk and butter. His son,
a young man of about "a, will have
charge of the farm, while Mr.. Wheeler
himself will retain his residence IN

wheeler's Msthods-His New Venture
In Texas.
Although Hiram O. Wheeler, the
farmer king of Iowa, has sold his 5000
acre farm and viii go out of the farm
ing business in the spring to invest his
money in a big dairy farm in Texas, he
is not yet ready to quit the state where
he has made such big fortune. It is
probable that the political bee is still
buzzing about his head In spite of the
fact that he has been twice defeated as
a candidate for governor he may be lay
ing wires to try it again.
But if Mr.. Wheeler has been unfortu-
nate in politics he has certainly made
a remarkable success of farming. Early
in the seventies Mr.. Wheeler owned a
500 acre farm in Lake county, Ills He
had made money there, but he wanted
more elbow room. He was progressive.
He believed that farming done on a
large scale and done right would pay
as well as any other business. So after
much looking around he went to Sac
county, Ia, then a wilderness, and
bought 900 acres of fertile a1luvial soil
from a railroad company at 81. so an
acre.
Then he went to work to organize his
ideal farm. Dividing his farm into
three ranches, he hired small army of
1aborers and put each division in charge
of competent superintendent. He had
no intention of doing any manual labor
himself He did not see why he should
handle a pillow any more than city
merchant would be expected to drive
his own drays. He undertook the head
work, and as he was deeply interested
party he performed his task well. He
watched the produce market as closely
as a broker watches the stock ticker.
He read the agricultural reports. He es-
tablished corps of confidential agents
in various agricultural centers who
could be depended on to give him accu-
rate information about crops.
He went on the theory that glutted
market was almost certain to be follow

THE MOSES OF KANSAS.

Minneapolis Journal: A bill has been in
troduced in the Kansas legislature entitled
An act to give statutory force to the Ten
commandments" This in the preamble sets
forth tho presumed necessity for making the
Ten Commandments a part of the state law,
and then supplements the divine law with
penalties, providing a scale of fines, impris-
onments and capital punishment for differ
ent offenses, and in all respects presents a
scheme which probably could never have been
thought of or seriously proposed before the
legislature of any other state. Kansas gets
the credit for containing more cranks to
the square mile than any other state in the
union, and is undoubtedly entitled to it.
Kansas City Star: Ex-senator Ingalls, once
observed that Senator Joe Brown of Georgia,

his speeches, reminded the beholder of Moses

ing to the Kansas Legislature the tables Of

Tho only serious objection to the passage of
Mr.. Walters bill is that ii may result in
repetitions in the statutes, much of the
ground covered having been previously &C.
cupied by Kansas legislative enaCtments. But
the correction of redundancy can safely be
left to Judge w. c. Webb of Topeka, who
has been intrusted with the revision of the
Kansas statutes and who distinctly remem-
bers all the circumstances attending the
original delVery OF the deCalOgue.
Chicago Post: The following is the sched-
ule of penalties to be visited upon men
transgressors only, the father of the bill ex-
planning that women are not ungodly and
men are:'
For having another God, fine. .........$ 81 900
For making a craven image, one year
in the penitentiary and a fine off,. 1000
For taking the name or Jne Lord in
vain and for not observing the Sab
bath day, 500
For not honoring father or mother.
six months in the penitentiary and a
me OF 5UU
For committing murder, hanged by the
neck until dead.
For adultery, penitentiary for life.
For stealing, fine or imprisonment, In
the discretion of the court.
For bearing false witness, imprisonment,
in the discretion of the court.
For c~oveting thy n%eighbor's house, his
wife, his servant, his maid or his ass, fine
and Imprisonment, in the discretion of the
court.
In any other state than Kansas this bill
would be taken as a piece of red-hot irony,
and would have been sent to some committee
to sleep while it's author slept off his drunk.
But in the Kansas Legislature it was received
seriously and referred to the Judiciary COM
mittee, which promises an early report, with
no certainty that it will not become law.

PASSING OF "BOOM TIMES"
Era of Adventure and wild SpecuIa-
ton at End.

non at Enu.
Il. V. Smalley In the March Forum.
During the eleven years between 1879 and
1890 this country ran an almost breathleSs
race of eager and rapid development. Ger
tainly those were not normal times. They
were based upon conditions that will never
be seen again upon the American continent.
To long for their restoration Is to Indulge
in the fascinating but proftless occu alton
Of chasing rainbOws. For what is there in
our present condition or in our future pros
poets to Justify the hope that those times
will return? Our new west is already fairly
well peOpled; and its business conditions
rest OF the country. Except in a few mining
districts, 1t no longer offers a field for ad-
venture or speculation. Our great transcon-
tinental railway systems are already con-
structed; and not one OF them can earn in
teHest on the money II cost. Our new towns
and cities went rather beyond the capacity
Of the tributary country 10 support them,
under the stimulus Of inflated real estate
values and with the temporary opportunities
they offered for employment Of labor. We
shall not again have a food Of foreign money
pouring In. to loan upon anything or every
thing having the semblance OF property.
The foreigner has had his experience; and ho
now wants to be dOubly sure that he Is going
to get his capital back and his regular in
terest payments before an American Invest
ment has any attraction for him. Is II not
on tho whole probable that we shall have
to make up our minds to plOd along in the
slow-going way Of older nations, and to
ba satisfied with moderate profits and a
slow accumulation Of wealth? II these be
our reasonable expectations, would 1t not be
sane and wholesome for people to cease
dreaming Of a golden age which Is gone for
