THE STA Fl The Wheatfiel? Priscilla Leuna Looking out from tho car window 1 over the endless Dakota prairie, as flat as a floor, one is forcibly reminded j of the little boy, who, born and bred among thc Rockies, journeyed East i for thc flrst time when he was four j years old. Waking up in the sleep- j ing car the ne:ii. morning, he cried out j in alarm to his mother, as he saw tho absolute level of the landscape, "O, muvver, look! look! Kveryfiog's fall en down flat!" and lie could not bc reassured for sonic time. Vet it is just this exact ana monoto nous level thal has made Dakota thc Stale of thc "bonanza" farm, and, with one exception, thc richest wheat belt in the world. Thc very undula tion, so billowy and beautiful, of thc prairie of thc Middle West, gives a slope here and a swampy patch there, each of which will produce fewer bushels to thc acre than the ?loor-?ke field thal is tho wheat grower's ideal. On the absolutely flat surface all machinery runs to perfection; and a bonanza farm is all machinery, so far as possible. It has been truly said that "in thc lexicon of the Dakota farmer there is no such word as 'hoe." 1 He does not require that "hinge in his back" which Charles Dudley Warner so longed for when he tried farming in tho East. The smallest implement on these big farms is a plow, and it is amachine plow at that. Farm and factory are not supposed to be alike. Yet as one looks at theso western farm hands one realizes thc spirit of thc age even here, out on the limitless prairie, where twenty years ago tho buffalo roamed and tho coyote burrowed. Tho man who can run a machine well is thc ideal farm hand in this region. Thc harrow is a most complicated arrangement of levers; the sowing is done by drills and brakes, the reaping by cogs and belts. It is all just as systematized, as labor-saving, and ns businesslike as an eastern manufacturing plant. Ono curious aspect is, however, to be no ticed. There, in tho feneo corner, stands a big, expensive harvester-a splendid machine that has broken down after a season's wear and tear, and stands, unrepaired and unshel tered, visibly rusting to ruin. "Surely, that is not business, to let such valuable property bo destroyed," is the visitor's comment. The keen-eyed superintendent smiles. "Yes, it is good business. We buy our machines by tho carload, and we figure it out that the timo lost in repairing a machine that has done ono season's work would pay for two new ones. It's a common saying that if you keep on repairing an old ma -chine long enough, even if you don't .count in the timo lost to the farm work by its breaking down, you'll pay out enough for five new machin?e, and ..still have nothing but an old one left. * We've got all these things down to . dollars and cents, you sec." They certainly have. All over the seven thousand aero farm, where crews vf workmen live at ono end and never meet the crews who work at tho other cod from thc season's opening to its close, the most admirable system pre vails. Herc and there, over these rich acres, arc substantial frame din ing halls, where the men aro given their meals, but in harvest time it has 'been found that it saves time to carry : tho meals to tho men, as each crew may be from one to three miles from its hall: so, carried they ure. The kitchens of these dining halls are models of cleanliness and economy of space, and two men do the cooking for fifty farm hands. Such a farm may have three divisions, each with a superintendent, and each division ma chine shed will have about ten four horse plows, eight four-horse drills, half a dozen harrows, seven binders, -md a tremendous steam-motcr thresh er, besides wagonB, carts, and wheel barrows galore, with a blacksmith to look after the too's and machinery, .md a carpenter to do the necessary ?woodwork. Two elevators, on opposite corners of tho farm, by the railroad track which runs across tho great field, store up the season's crop, of perhaps ono hundred and fifty thousand bush ' els-'?ntyigh to loa^ a freight train two miles long. One picturesque statis 1 tician has calculated that thc entire ^Dakota-crop of 1897, if it had been .sentie market in the old fashioned vp7ajT-two.bushel saoks slung across a mule's back-would have made a solid procession of mules, nose to tail, all round the globe and np to the Klon dike besides. For twenty years this rieb prairie soil has given record /breaking yields, ?nd yet shows nc ' sign of exhaustion. The time to see a wheat farm in al iii glory, indeed, is at the harvestinj of these munificent crops. Tho gold : OF LIFE. ls o?' tho Wost. rd in For ira rd. cn sea of thc grain, before thc great machine ?tart in among its billowy ripples, is beautiful beyond descrip tion. Hardly less wonderful is thc view over tho newly reaped fields where thc shocks arc being gathered. Ceres' horn of plenty has surely been poured out in these heaps of gold among the yellow, shining stubble. The long, steady procession of the binders, tossing out thc sheaves, the busy workers gathering them up in thc shocks, the limitless level ground, thc limitless burning blue sky above - r..l.. .1... -.. - -~\-? fn.m ?o ? fl ?iv -Cl %J \AtJ UUJr UH t* Miaul' .ni... 13 fc. to bo remembered, if only for thc ! sheer beauty of the scene. Then comes the threshing, thc busi est time of all. The binders have used (our picturesque man of statis tics again as authority) enough twine to tie two New England States togeth er and anchor them to Minot's Led>o out in Boston Bay. Nowthcthrcsl must cut all this-inevitable, but necessary waste!-and must thresh out the grain at thc rato of two or three thousand bushols a day, while the accumulating straw is dragged or blown away to kecpitfrom overwhelm ing machino and men alike. Labor saving as this big machine is, wc see that it takes thirty men to run it; yet never a hand touches thc wheat sheaf from thc timo it tumbles into thc self feeder to thc time when the grain flows from the thresher's spout into the wheat tanks on wheels which cart it away steadily to the elevator. In deed, wo may go further than this, and say that, from tank to elevator, from elevator to car, from car to mill, from mill tu barrel, no bunnin hand again comes in contact with tho wheat until thc cook mixes the flour into dough and bakes it in thc oven. It is all a triumph of organization and ma chinery, marvelous to th?* outside observer. But more marvelous yet-and this will hardly bo believed-is tho fact that tho small wheat grower in Da kota, in Minnesota, in Iowa, in Kan sas, in Oklahoma (and, in fact, every where within that basin of tho Mis souri River, which is thc granary of America, and the largest wheat-bear ing region of the world), is actually getting more profit yearly out of his wheat than tho great bonanza farmer. All the organization in thc world will not make hired labor, pius expensive machines, as profitable as tho deter mined toil of a farmer with a family of ten, for instance. Tho farmer's wife helps; the children help; the singlo plow, carefully driven, gives a bushel more to t.to aore than the "gang plow" does; and there is little or no wages to pay. Tho largo farm, experts say, will soon split up into small holdings, or run at a decreasing profit. More marvelous still is thc state ment, recently mat]- by the president of the British Association, that even tho wheatficlds of tho West cannot long supply thoL needs of this conti nent alone, no matter how carefully they aro formed, by one man or many. The wheat-bearing lands of thc world aro limited, and the wheat-eating Cau casian race increases steadily. By 11)31 there will not bc enough wheat to go around, Sir William Crookes asserts. Looking over thc rich gold of the Iowa fields, or up at the stupen dous grain elevators of Chicago, the very idea seems impossible. Over five hundred million bushels of wheat were grown in tho United States in 1808; and yet tho average yield is calculated to bc ouly about twelve bushels to an acre. Wo oan surely trust American wits to get * o work to raise that average to twenty five bush els by 1931! And, indeed, one opti mistic Yankee immediately answered thc British pessimist by asserting that the United States would contract to supply Great Britain's utmost orders for thirty years to come if the price were only securely fixed at a dollar a bushel. We must not forget, besides, those wheatficlds of the West that lie be yond the Rockies. Washington already has an average, yield of over twenty-five bushels to thc acre, against Minnesota's thirteen. Whole sec tions in Oregon give forty bushels to tho aero, and California has her big wheat farms, as golden as thc sands of her old placer camps. Her giant har vesters cuta swath fifty-two feet wide, and reaps, threshes and sacks tho wheat as it goes, covering a hundred acres a day, and turning out eighteen hundred sacks or fo of grain. It seems as if, however tho rest of the country may brag, the Uaoific slope always has the last word; and there fore this little sketch of western wheat farming may fitly close with tho item that one Washington field-truly a "bonanza"-raised seventy-five bush els to the acre in 1899, and expeots to i ??j beater **ct_r;ti item Thich certainly I ought to* cheer Sir William Crookoa and lighten the b?rden of the Cau casian consumer of tuc future.

Tho country has clearly entered thc period of stuff, bluff and yell which invariably brings one of our great presidential campaigns to a close. This appears iu thc sweeping claims made by the campaigu managers, in their awful charges against each other's intentions, in thc cries of cor ruption on one side and anarchy on the other, and in thc general blare and blather from one ocean to tho other. At this interesting stage the spectacle of an American presidential campaign reminds one of nothing quite so much as rival gangs of cow boys trying to stampede a huge herd of cattle in opposito directions. The political managers make a tremendous amount of noise, and they generally succeed in exciting a good many voters half way to thc verge of mad ness. lt is always well at about this time, therefore, to remember that the noise is really nothing more alarming than stage thunder, and that the men who arc making it arc simply stage hands, who hurl thunderbolts for ihc same reason that they turu thc cal cium light on the hero, or cheer Mark Antony's oration-because it is all in thc play. Thc rival candidates do not hate each other nearly so much as might be supposed. It it even possi ble that Mr. Hanna would consent to dine with Mr. Bryan-behind tho scenes. Gov. Roosevelt charges the Democrats with inciting riot; while Mr. Bryan spoaks so bluntly about plutocracy's sins that lie is charged with appealing to class hatred. Yet, even these two men seem to be on xriendly terms when they chance to meet-and that fact tends to keep your choler down. Soveral varying accounts came from East St. Louis re garding the passing of tho Bryan and Roosevelt trains at Alton, 111., but the truth seems well stated in this re port: Their private cars came alongside in the yards. Each stepped upon tho platform and recognized tho other at once. "Hello," said Roosevelt, thrusting forth his hand. "Hello," quoth Bryan, grasping the extended hand. "How is your voice?" "It's rough as the populist plat form. How is yours, Col. Bryan?'' laughed Roosevelt. "Mino is as broken as Republican promises," retorted thc Nebraskan, laughing, too. Theo everybody laughed and cheer ed, thc Democrats with Bryan shout ing "Huirah" for him, and Roose velt's followers yelling for McKinley. Tho meeting came wholly by chance and was as cheerful as it was pictures que.-Springfield Republican. Rheumatism--Catarrh In the Blood. Trial Treatment Free.
