The American farmer is known the
world over. Our farm lands are the
best and so are our farmers. For
about a decade before the civil war,
about three-quarters Of the American
people supported themselves directly
by agriculture. Statistics show that
now only one-half of the population OF
the Omitted States earns Its livllhood by
this method. The Buffalo Times re-
marks further: Fifty years ago there
were not a million wage-earners en-
ployed by American manufacturers.
To-day, six times that number are so
employed, while the 100000 farm
ers of 1850 have increased to 10000.
600. This IL a great increase, but II Is
not in proportion with the increase IN
other callings. The increase in farm
products In the last half century has
about kept pace with the increase of
farmers-less than three-fold. In 1850
the value of the farm products of the
country was estimated at 100000
600. as against $4.740.0oo.000 last
year. The Increase in manufacturing

IDEAL DAY BRINGS

Thousands of People Flock to

After the activity, excitement and
| noise of the Fourth Of July, restfulness
appeared to be the thing most desired
by the people of st. Paul yesterday.
Climatic conditions added their mosAs
potent influence in the same direction
and almost unanimously the populace
moved in the direction of the suburban
resorts.
The outpouring toward the lakes be-
gan early in the day and continued
until well into the evening. All of
the thoroughfares leading from the
city were alive with vehicles of all
kinds throughout the day and street
| cars We're crowded from morning until
late at night. Railroad trains also car
ried many to White Bear and other
| lakes, and only those who were COM
PEELED to stay in the city remained.
| Como park was thronged throughout
the entire day, and In the afternoon
| it was almost impossible to secure a
boat. even though those who desired
| them represented but a very small pro-
| portion Of the gathering assembled
| there from both. st. Paul and Minrse-
! apolis. The drives were so thickly oc-
cupied with vehicles and saddle horses
as to make travel at some points quite
difficult, and the pavilion and shaded
paths were crowded. The Minnesota
State band presented an excellent mu-
steal programme in the afternoon and
again in the evening, and it's efforts
were generously repaid in applause.
| Wildwood also received large pro-
portion of patronage and the cars run
ming to and from that point were pack.
ed as full as they could hold at almost
every time of the day.
In spite Of the suppression of some
of the attractions in that vicinity.
Smelling was the destination Of large
number of the seekers after recreation,
but 1T is already noticeable that the
character of the Sunday crowd on the
Smelling line has greatly changed.
