cents in trade was what one got for
beginning at daylight and grubbing or
splitting rails until the sinking sun
reminded him that his days work was
done.
Farm produce, when salable at all
was absurdly low. There were nc
markets. only the neighborhood con-
sumption and, there being little or no
money, everything was barter. Eggs
went a-begging at l and 2 cents a doz-
en-, poultry was but little better, stock
of all kinds at the very lowest ebb, and
no farmer could even hope for one dol
lars profit off any of his produce.
Merely living as the result of days
devoted to toll and nights devoid of
ease, was the best that could be antici-
pated by millions of pioneer farmers
in the good old days."
Some sentiment still fingers about
those times. We recall with interest
many Of the romantic and tragic Incl
farmer readers would care to be trans
ported back, except in fancy, to the
period which did not end until the last
century was more than half over.
THE good old times" are we'll
enough for poets, the writer's of his
torical novels, the wearers of linsey-
woolsey dresses and jeans suits, but
as for ourselves, we prefer the pres
ent, despite its graft and greed and
selfshness, or at least it has replaced
of all kinds with innumer-
able comforts, and has changed agri-
culture from a groveling calling to
the noblest and most prosperous of
the Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

family, who have been living here since
last September, left at noon today for
their home at Oblong, Illinois. They
came here on account Of Mrs. Ducu-

the expected Improvement and 1t was
decided to take her back to Illinois. 1t

DIFFERENCE IN THE
TIMES COMPARED
Two, Three and Four Centuries Ago
Things We're Very Much
Different.

Had you lived in the Fourteenth CEN
tury you could have bought draft
horses at ~ cents each and oxen at
SLIPS. In the days of Henry II $50
would have equipped a farm with
three draft horses, half a dozen oxen,
twenty cows and 200 sheep, leaving \
balance of 81 toward the payment of
rent, which was about IS a year.
In England, pasture and arabic
lands were ridiculously Cheap cents
an acre for the former and u cents
an acre for the latter being considered
a fair annual rental. Two cents, or
its equivalent, would buy a pair of
chickens in those blessed days OF old
For the value of a nickel one could
acquire goose fit for a Christmas
dinner, or two ducks that would make
a fine roast. A penny would purchase
a dozen strictly fresh eggs, and wheat
sometimes fell as low as 40 cents
quarter, or eight bushels.
This period seems to have been the
paradise of topers. as the brewer was
compelled by law to sell for cents
three gallons of beer, the equivalent
of forty-eight glasses.
1t will give our modern labor unions
the cold shiver to read that cents
day was considered good wages for an
ordinary laborer. Our farmers will
probably heave a sigh of sympathy
when they learn that even at harvest
time 4~cents was the highest amount
expected.
Young couples about to marry had
no such terrors before their eyes as
confront them in this era of prosperity.
Housekeeping might safely be entered
upon by the most timorous in those
days, good old days" House rent
London only paid $3.50 a year to his
landlord. The chancellor of the Brit
ish exchequer, the man who does the
work of our secretary of the treasury,
had an annual salary of 1892. When
a father sent his son to a university, 4
cents a day was looked upon as a
comfortable allowance, with a margin
for such luxuries as wine at to IL
cents gallon. A salary of $24 year
was considered munificent.
King Edward vi gave his daughter
an allowance of $3.50 a week, with an
additional $247.60 year for the main
tenance of eight servants. The bed
that the king then slept on would now
be stunned by the humblest farmer in
the land. There is not a renter in the
west that would not be considered rich
by comparison.
Remember, too, that they had no
railroads in those days, or decent roads
of any kind. A trip of hundred miles
was a momentous undertaking, and a
man setting out from London to Edin
burg made his will with little hope of
getting back OF course, there we're
no interurbans, or street cars, or even
canals, and wheeled vehicles were en-
tirely out of the reach of any but the
aristocracy.
But it is not necessary to go back
to the Fourteenth, or to England, to
find out what is meant by "the good
old times" Come along down to the
Nineteenth century and to our own
country and see how people lived much
less than 100 years ago. Many men
now living remember when one had to
work all day at the hardest kind Of
work for one bushel of wheat Fifty
