The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-05-17
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Two instances of the manner in
which the wheel of fortune turns
have taken place in the city this
week. Not SO very many years ago
the dry goods firm of j. & G. John
ston was the chief competitor of A.
L. Stewart, and millions came to
Robert A. Johnston, a third brother
who succeeded to the business, upon
the death of his brothers. He lost
his entire fortune and in 1888 the
firm went out of business. Robert
went to live in a splendid place on
the Hudson, but a mortgage on this
was foreclosed, and the house was
burned, the new owner having a mar
row escape. Since then Johnston
had lived in a barn a recluse, refus
ing charity and sick and insane,
finally died on Wards Island, and
the only remaining thing to do is to
bury him in a splendid Mausoleum
which cost 100000 and was paid for
when they had money. The other
instance is that of J. f. Dolan who
a few years ago was a prominent
builder and had a business of half a
million a year. Gradually his trade
has fallen off and finally the end
came when he forged a note and is
% locked up in the Tombs, a prison
which was partially built by himself.
To these might almost be added the
story of DR.. Woodend who has gone
from ~af1uence to poverty within a
short time. He was backed for
Madam PATHS tour last winter and
lost some $4,000 in that venture.
This left him short for pocket none
and one thing after another has com
bined to further his wreck until to-
day he says he has not a cent in the
world. But he is a prominent doc
tor and has grit, and of course his
friends hope the future will have
something good in store for him.
But the instances of such failures
r too numerous to mention, and
the examples will not deter others.
When a man has a good profession
and leaves. it to speculate in stocks
or cotton or prima donnas, he is tax
ing a good deal of risk.

OLD FASHIONED ooRN-MEAL.

Quite a discussion has been going
on as to the merits of corn meal in
some of our papers, started by read
ers who asked where they could find
the old-fashioned underground corn
meal. The newspaper didn't1 know
and suggested that if anybody made
such goods they ought to advertise
the fact. The American Miller takes
up the subject and says the meal is
all right, but hat people do not have
the old-fashioned appetites. The
American Grocer maintains that the
modern appetite is as good and as
dlscriminative as was the old one,
but that it has been told by a prom
inent miller that the meal is ground
in stones which revolve so rapidly the
oil of the corn is cooked and this
causes deterioration in the quality.
This paper also offers a years sub
scription for some meal that will
make johnny-cake "like mother used
to, make" 1t goes on to tell of a
number &C places here in the city
where crowds would assemble years
ago to eat the corn mush; but now

HARD FACTS
About Cream Separators.

The A FACTS which concern the intending pur-
chaser of a cream separator-whether for factory or farm
pse-are briefly these:
rior to initiating machines as such other separators are
to gravity settings systems.
THAI protecting patents make and keep them so-togeth-
er with far greater experience and superior facilities III
every way for cream separator manufacture.
That every big and experienced user of cream separa=
tors knows this and uses De Laval machines exclusively
both in factory end farm sizes.
That it is as foolish to-day to buy other than a De
Laval separator as it would be to buy an old-fashioned
reaper if an up-to-date self-binding harvester could be had
for the same money.

ton, it will be owned jointly. The
price paid was $4,000, and the transfer
in ownership has been made.
The property consists of 50-foot
frontage on Main street, on which is To-
Gated three wooden buildings, These
buildings will be disposed of, and when

tion for the foundation Of a, two-story

ficatlons for the new building will be
made.

TO KILL CAYUsEs.
Band OF Indian Ponies at Castle Rock
to Be Killed at Once.

Band Of Indian Ponies at Castle Rock
to Be Killed at Once.
Heppner, March 28. Complaint has
been made by stockmen to Oregon do
mestic animal commission at Salem, that
large bond of Indian ponies from the
Umatilla reservation. are located on the
Columbia in Morrow county, near
Castle Rock and Coyote, ard that the
animals are badly affected with mango.
1t appears that every effort on the part
Of the authorities has been put forth to
stamp out the disease, but without ap-
parent results. The commission has,
therefore, instructed the state veterin-
arian, DR.. William Mclean, OF Port
land, to go to Castle Rock and kill all

Charles Brotherton returned Sunday
from Gibbon, where he shipped a car
load Of hay to feed his stock cattle. Mr..
Brotherton and Henry Hill, Of Helix,
drove $50 head to the range some weeks
ago and portion Of them were in bad
condition. The snow came and for
nearly week they had nothing to eat.
The herd, or all that we're strong enough
were driven out Of the hills and are be-
ing fed, and FIVE men are now engaged
in lifting the weaker ones and driving
them down to the feed. Other stock
men, less fortunate in having feed, will
be heavy losers, the present condition of
the weather being fatal to starving range
stock.

Well Known Insurance Man Said to
Have Queer Business Methods.
1t is matter Of common talk, says the
Pendleton Tribune, that W. j. Homer,
the insurance man who resided in PEN
dleton the past year, will not return to
this city on account of certain alleged
irregularities. 1t is understood that he
issued a number of checks on a local
bank in which there were no funds to
his credit, and accordingly the checks
were returned to the holders unhonored.
7. d. Wooley, merchant of Portland,
Saturday presented check at the Saw
ings bank, which was endorsed by
Homer. The check was made in the
favor of Mr.. Wooley for the sum Of $6.
When he presented the check Saturday
he was told that Homer had no funds in
the bank, and now Mr.. Wooley is appar-
emily loser by six plunks.
1t is understood that an Echo citizen
few weeks ago was steered up against
the same proposition, but that Homer
made the amount good before he left the
county.
Mr.. Homer went to Portland from
Pendleton, and it is said that he is now
en- route to California.
