Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.-The newspaper men of Washington now know the vice president as Farmer tairbanks. I -.ey have ascertained that he knows as much about gen uine farming as he does about poll- tics, law or parliamentary tactics.
 Their information as to Farmer Fairbanks" qualifications as tll- Ter of the soil came about recently by visit paid by the vice presl- dent to small farm owned by. one of his newspaper friends. When the vice president got on the farm he was delighted He plainly showed that he knew what an instl- tuition of that kind was. He made valuable suggestions as to improving the soil and planting certain things to derive the most profit; he talked 1ntelligently about horses and their diseases and he knew exactly Whh ought to be done to make fat hogs for market or household use. He knew much about COWS and dairylng, but there was one thing on the farm he had not seen and was greatly interested in. It was milking ma- chine, by which the cows are stripped of milk without being touched by human hand. He was shown how it worked and he took in all the details with ease. He was so charming when he laid aside his official dignity that he pleasantly impressed those who were present.
 The fact is that the vice presi- dent has been a farmer for many years. When he was a young law yer and first began to make money he invested his savings in Illinois farm property. By degrees he came to own 5000 acres of the most fertile land in that state. He spent much time on the farm, kept care full count of the profits and losses and familiarized himself with every thing. Sometimes now, when he is entertaining friends in hospitable fashion in his splendid Washington home, he refers to the farm and the longings himself and Mrs. Fairbanks have to get back on it again.
 The farm is at present managed by his brother, and another brother owns splendid farm adjoining. Be- tween the Fairbanks brothers they own a total of 5000 acres of rich land, most of which is planted in corn, although diversification Of crops is practiced to prevent the soil losing it's richness.
 The vice president is personally better known to Indiana farmers than any statesman that state ever produced. He has visited among them so often and made himself one of them so long, they swear by him as a horny-handed son of toii.

throughout most of the day a heavy rain fell. The total vote cast in the primary was 2,S34, which was the heaviest ever cast in city primary in Little Rock Mayor Lenon received 1,701 votes over Halliburton. whose total was 105S
 The primary passed off without un usual incident, save that a number of carriages were pressed into service in the interest of the various candidates and in that respect it resembled one of the old-time elections. Friends of the candidates stood around the polls throughout the day. and into the hands of every voter numerous cards were pressed as he made his way to the voting booths. The primary was not legalized and for that reason the saloons of the city were not closed, but no more cases of drunkenness were observed in the city than or dinarily There was no trouble at any of the voting places.
