Concerning Prosperity.

The farmers's side of the question,
says the JOurnaJ Of agriculture, has
been very strongly stated by one of our
able country exchanges. During the
first week OF March, 1897, the week OF
McKinley's Inauguration, when the
coming prosperity was heralded
abroad, farmer of Boone county, in
this State. brought II head of hogs to
his local market and sold them for
$1O4.10. With part of this money he
bought the following bill of goods:
3 kegs of nails at rs each.
2O0 lbs fencing wire at S1.90 per hundred.
1 cook stove for $50.
100 feet screening, Sc.
. ! plOw SO.
Miscellaneous hardware and tinware, s11.62.
Patent medicines and drugs, S10.50.
1Sq lbs. sugar, SO.
This left him something over $50 to
pay his doctors bills and square ac-
counts with the editor.
The first week in this month the
same farmer brought thirteen hogs to
his local market and sold them for
$105. Then. at the suggestion of the
editor, he visited the same stores that
he had purchased his goods from in
1897, and obtained present prices for
the same articles, with the following
raS.IIts-

The farmer received less for his
hogs than he did in 1897. and would
have been required to pay $31.58 more
for his small bill of necessaraes for his
family and farm. 1t can readily be
seen, therefore, that the farmer, as
usual, .'got left" in the mighty wave
OF prosperity that has come to US.
The editor carried the comparison a
little further, with the following in
teresting results:
1.-The farmer might have followed
the prosperity story farther for his
own instruction and profit. Here is

THINGS THE FARMER BUYS:

Doctor bills no less. Insurance no
less. Taxes higher than ever-having
to pay war stamp taxes.
A farmer can get little more for
his cattle, but the material In a house
that would cost him 81, 900 in March,
1897. would cost him now 81, 300 He
cannot get farthing more for his
pork, but it costs him $3.50 more to
build half mile of wire fence. His
wheat will not sell for as much by 15
or zoe. but the plows he puts it in
with cost him a fourth more.
The editor concludes his remarks by
saying that McKinley's prosperity ia
bic is like "a pyramid set oE its apex.
1t is top-heavy and bound to topple."
These are some of the s.signs of the
times" The subject seems interesting,
and we may pursue it further next
week.

COrpSeS as Baggage.

The G. M. & st. Paul R'y have adopted
a new system of shipping the bodies of
the dead over their road. Under the new
system, corpses can be checked, the
same as piece of baggage is forwarded
and by this means not only absolute &C
curacy as to movement, destination, ETC.,
is assured, but all annoyance to friends in
looking after the bodies at transfer
points, etc, is ended. The arrangement
is simple and disposes of great deal of
former inconvience. A trap check is at
tached to the outer box, just as it is to
a trunk, and the friends receive check
issued on account of the ticket purchased
for the body, the same as for any other
baggage, which transaction ends their
trouble The Milwaukee road has also
adopted this system for handling bodies
to and from all local stations on it's line
being the first road in the United States
to do this in relation to short distances
and local points.

Something About Wisconsin CLAIMS.

Wisconsin has one industry of which
little is heard, yet which has been the
means of turning a great deal of money
into the pockets of the inhabitants of the
southern part of the state, says the Mil
waukee correspondent of the Chicago
Times Herald. At one time, about six
years ago, the pearl fisheries of this state
were widely exploited, then something
else caught the popular fancy, and this
day wonder was dropped. Yet
these same fisheries have within the past
seven years PANIED out between $250,OO
and 100000 worth of pearls, some of
which were sold for great price and are
now held in high esteem by their owners.
For year or two it was hard work to
get hands to harvest the crops; in fact
the farmers in the southern tier of coun-
ties did not care much whether they
had crops or not when easier means of
wealth lay right at their doors. During
the entire summer season as long as the
beds of the little creeks and rivers of
that section could be dredged or raked,
people were out ''pearling" as it came to
be called in the vernacular of the dis
trict where the pearls were fonndin their
lodging places in the mouth of the fresh
water CLAIMS.
Going 'pearling' has all the excite
ment of shaking dice for high stakes
with the exception that the player could
lose nothing beyond his time and stood
to win big stake by one fortunate
stroke. He might work for weeks and
not turn up a pearl bearing clam, and
then the rake would bring to the sur
face a shell in which was a pearl worth
from 500 to $1,000, more money than
could be earned by whole seasons work
on the farm.

The anthracite trade is in unusually
good condition for midsummer. There
is much less than the usual July COM
paint of dullness, and coal is being
sold better at tidcwater than in the
corresponding month for several years
past. Production is on a good scale
the mines generally working five DAYS
in the week, but there is no sign OF
oVer-production, and stocks are not in
creasinC
Shipments to the West continue on
large scale, Chicago dealers are taxi
ing better quantities than they have
done for long time. The Sault Canal
reports show that the anthracite go
ing to Lake Superior points has been
this year, up to July 1st, over 25OOOO
tons, or nearly twice last years uuan.
tity, Notwithstanding the facts that
navigation opened this year eighteen
days later than in 1898, and that steam
er rates are considerably higher. Times
are good, and the West is evidently
going to be a larger taker of anthra-
cite this season.
Above all there is no cutting in prices
reported. Coal men fully appraciata
this fact, and are Congratulating them
selves on it. They also recognize that
this welcomed condition, which NAV
be attributed in part to the general
Improvement in trade. is chiefly due to
the change in the management of the
company, which has always been the
chief sinner in this respect. and has
been notorious for its disregard of
contracts. 1t is now possible to do
business without facing the certainty
that every agreement will be violated
and every promise broken almost as
soon as made.
There is some talk of an increase
in circular prices. 1t is quite possible
that it may be made later, but no
change is expected at present. Prices
at tidewater show no alteration.
Boston dealers, though they are not
saying very much about it, are getting
ready to meet the competition with
which they are threatened by the New
England Gas and Coke company's
plant, which will soon be supplying
fuel gas and coke on a large scale.
This is the beginning Of rivalry which
the anthracite coal producers will have
10 meet in few years at all the sea-
board cities, and they will do well
to prepare themselves for it,
On the authority of press dispatches
last week it was generally accepted
that the Philadelphia and Reading
company had bought a large tract
of bituminous coal lands in Somerset
county Pa. Many wise comments were
made on the entry of the Reading
company into the bituminous trade,
the probability Of an expansion of its
line, an alliance with the Baltimore
and Ohio, and so on. The fact is that
the Philadelphia and Reading company
had nothing to do with the transac-
tion. The coal lands We're bought by

Preparing to Store Coal.

Those who have not visited Anthra-
cite park lately would scarcely recog-
nize it if passing that way today" says
the CarbOndale Leader Its entire
makeup is being changed and when
the transformation is complete a not
able addition to the City's industries
Will have been made.
To-day 40 men are busy in grading
the grounds and putting int new
tracks by which coal will be stored
there by the Delaware and Hudson.
While this force is a large one IT is
estimated that they will not have conf
pleted the extensive changes before
late in the fall. The coal is to be stored
in piles as stated tome time ago and the
necessity for the storage is that the
company have determined to mine
their full allotment whether there is
immediate demand for it or not.
seven tracks are to run through
the centre of the park and three at the
upper end. The coal is to be shovelled
into position and reloaded upon the
cars by two mammoth and powerful
pieces of apparatus which are new to
this section and the details of which
the company is not ready yet to give
out. They will be operated by two
stationary steam engines.
"Of the seven tracks the two out
side ones will have pits beneath them
into which the coal will be dumped and
then taken by the carriers to the piles.
There will be four of these piles on the
east side of the tracks and two on the
west side. The track on which the
carriers will run will consist of a sin =.
gle rail arranged in a half circle around
the piles. 1t is laid on ties and the
plans call for a number of these rails,
thirty feet apart; probably to allow
for the growth of the piles and the con-
sequent necessary changing Of the
carriers to be effective"
