The corn crop alene contains three
billions oE bushels, worth almost ST.

potatoes, hay and rice have also done
splendidly.
A large part of the crop will be sold
to European buyers who have had this
year even less opportunity than year
ago to attend to their own crops and
the high prices, due to the European
demand, will react to the benefit of
the American farmer.

kAkLY NEW YEARS cELLBRArIos

New Years In pioneer Wisconsin was
a far more picturesque and distinctive
holiday than it is now. It was made so
chiefly by the traditional custom of hold
ing "'open house. - For weeks prior to
the great occasion, bustling rnatrons
fortified themselves with vast stores of
cakes, pies and goodies, against the
raids Of the expected New Years ''call-
ers. /" The latter we're usually of the
male sex-young swains, ogling bache-
lors, and staid old burghers-who from
morning until night made the rounds of
their friends, sampling and slipping of
the refreshments set before them. It
is to be feared that many sober citi-
zen came to the end of this holiday more
hilarious than was his usual won't
However that may be. all were in good
humor, and the hours passed only too
quickly for the merrymskers.

There is epe man in Bridgeport, who
has his laundry done every week in
Philadelphia. He is ene OF the new
corners to the city, drawn here by the
great business and he has been unable
to find laundry that will do his
washing to suit him SO the first Of
every week he mails it parcel post to
his home in Philadelphia and later
in the week receives 1t back again.
In this way, for thirty Or forty cents
postage he is able to have a large
package of laundry done much more
suitably and almost as quickly as
as though he had given it out in
town. It is said at the parcel post
station a great many men send their
laundry to their homes out of town
weekly, receiving it back again few
days later.

There are drawbacks, to be sure, But
the drawbacks are greatly outweighed
by the advantages. We have known
people who, after leading unsensible
lives from early childhood, have taken
up the sensible life and have never led
any other life from that time on. That +,
