GOOD OLD DAYS OF AZ.
When Porkers and Turkeys Were
Cheap But Dug Wells a Luxury.

Special to es-RepubliCan.
Ackley, April l6.--In these times of
huge prices for pork it is interesting
to draw a comparison of prices be-
tween now and the days when Iowa
first became well settled. Mrs Ezra
Nuckolls. 0: Eldora, has in her posses
sion a letter written by her mother to
her aunt in the winter of 1S47. Mrs.
Nuckolls Is daughter of former
Lieutenant Governor Eastman. A
brother in-law of Mr.. Eastman. named
Grcenough, who resided near Fort At
klnson. had received from the govern
ment for services in war. a grant Of
land near Burlington and the East
man family had gone there in the
spring Of 1876. The following extracts
from the letter throw light on the high
cost OF living in those days.
Eastman has sold the fat hogs and
paid the money toward digging the
well. The five hogs only came to about
81 and IT. took all the corn to fatten
them. You know it was planted late
and 1t did not yield half a crop. We
did not put up any pork this winter
but Eastman has bought a couple OF
for fall pork. He only paid two-bits
apiece for them and they are nice large
ones. We could get only three bits a
piece for the turkeys so concluded not
TO sell them. I hope to raise a fine
lot Of both turkeys and chickens this
year.
1T is hard TO get d horse around
here that is not diseased or over
worked. After trying all fall and win
ter Eastman succeeded in getting a
very pretty riding horse that he would
not sell for $50 as she goes like a
cradle and is the first horse he has
been able to ride without pain since
| he came here
I'VE are having the coolest kind OF
weather, but the two cows and the
calf have run in the field all winter
| Eastman intends to sell the hay to helI
pay on the we'll. He paid your taxes
81 20. rather high we think"
From the above 1t seems that the
price of pig in those Gays would not
now purchase pork chops for the din
ner of a healthy man. The farmer Of
today gets more for 100 pounds Of hos
than the farmer did then for small
herd OF porkers One could live Their
on pork and turkeys for a month fol
the price of small ham in today's
market. The most expensive things il
1847 apparently were dug wells.
