In Jefferson county the farmers are in-
cIined to grumble little al the failure Of
prosperity 70 reach the agricultural class

Well they ought to be ashamed Of
themselves. Their wheat is higher now
than when Mckinley was elected; ike
wise their corn and oats. They are get

per pound for fat cattle, then they got 2
3-4 Gems per pound, now they get 5000
per head for yearliug cattle, then they got
$1,000 per head for them. Calves that
brought $500 per head. now bring SIS 90;
sheep that brought 500 per head, now
bring $500. Lambs sell for 5 cents per
pound. instead Of ~ cents. Wool
brings y cents per pound, instead Of ?
cents. Cows are selling for $4,000 per
head, instead Of 81 100, and horses 5000
instead Of $4,000. The farmer who can
see no prosperity in such prices is and
should always be Democrat, but should
never receive Republican prices. In the

IN indianapolis meeting a farmer who

IT they had had much rain down on the
Wabash that spring.
'Well, it has been a little Damp, he
answered. The day before I left home

had got so water soaked that they
couldn't swim any longer. l planted
my corn in two feet of water, and !
don't expect over 80 bushels to the acre.
Ny wheat is looking pretty we'll, but
the sturgeon and catfish have damaged
1t considerably. There was about Is
minutes sunshine N day, and l
thought would plant my potatoes, so
l loaded them on a scow and anchored
the scow in three feet OF water, when it
began to rain again.

my wife said that az we didn't have u

should feel kind Of discouraged with all
the rain, but I've spent my odd hours
OF leisure time-and the even ones, too,
on account of staying in out of the wet
building us an ark. If it will only
rain another week or two until l get
her ready to sail, I'm going to take my
out to Missouri by water for q

out there because they didn't know
enough to stay in q place where they
