Cnrjwnffr.l "WASHINGTON' , Sept. 10. [ Special Corres- pondemx ) of TUB BKE.J Senator Evarts has Just b'ought fcur hundred acres of land near Fort Washington on the banks ot the Toto- mao , Ilo paid uu average of $11 an aero for It aud ho says ho bought it because It was so cheap ho couldn't help it. Ho has built a log cnuln twenty-five feet wldo and sixty-flvo feet long upon it uud ho Is inviting the senators to como down and lunch with him. Ho has another farm In Vermont which ho has held for years , but which I understand is stocked with Jersey cows. Ills butter there costs about two dollars n pound , and tits vegetables nriI venture , dearer than though ho bought them In the market. The sumo will probably bo true of this I'atonme land unlossltis much better than" the avcrngo soil about Washlug- ington. It will add , - however , to Senator Evarts as a aarmors' candidate and that is tlio position that all of the senators are try ing to hold just now. TlllJY AUK AU. FAHMEltS NOW. The farmers' alliance has scared most of the public men. They all want to bo ac counted a friend of tlio farmer and such as hold farms are pointing to their horny hands and talking about crops on every available occasion. Many of thorn have been brought up ou farms and some of the largest estates in the country are owned right hero In the capital building. Senator Lyaian 11. Casey , though ho looks hko a diplomat and talks hull a dozen different languages , has 5,000 ncrcs of farm land under cultivation in Oa- Itotn aud ho is secretary of a land company that owns over ono thousand ncrcs of land in the James river valley and which works it with a capital of S.YXHXI. ) ( Pcttigrew or South Dakota has n number of farms around Sioux City and all of the now senators own inoro or loss hind. It takes souietblng llko suveaty- Jlvo miles of fence to go uvound the farm which Senator Sawyer owns in Texas , and AVatsou C. Soulerhas perhaja the best pay ing farm for Its slzoof auv of his fellows. f 000 I'UIl MONTH IN I'UOPITS , This farm contnlns four hundred acres and It brings In S < iuler$000 per mouth. I chatted with him last night about It , "I cut it out of the woods , " said lie , "and I llko to show It as un evidence of what a farmer can do } u Oregon. I bavo a hundred Holstein cows upon it and I got reports from my farmer every week ns to their morning and evening milking. Those cows produce in. " ) gallons of jnllk every day. I sell tils and I recelvo 35 cents and sometimes 20 cents a gallon , so that you see my prollU from the cows alone nro something like & > 50 per month. Oregon Is ono of the great hop nils- ing countries mid I am na'ciui ; a mighty peed thing out of hops. I uuvo a hop larm at about ton acres and I put all the ma nure from these hundred oows on this ton acres. I will got 3,000 pounds of hops to the acre this year , and I expect to pet 4,000 per new next year. Those hops will brtiEr 20 cents u pound , and at the lowest possible estl- Sato I must clcur 13,000 oft of Ms ton acres this . Three thousand dollars n year iieanatiWamoiith , aud this added to the Mint BWea mo about $ SOO a month from my Even UIpayt300a month to < cep up the place , I am hound to make 5000 a month clear. "AYhnt is the land worth ! " said I. "It Is not for side , " replied ScnutorSquier , "but I suppose it would bring SjaiU an aero at motion. It lies about twelve miles from Seattle and Is a tine picco of property. " STUCK ON HIS COWS. Vice PresIdentMortonhasafnrm at.Rhine- clifT , on the Hudson , of 050 acres , and ho watches its profits and losses quite as closely as does Senator Sqnler. Ilo knows nil about stock , and can tell you the names of the best milking cows of the country. Ho runs to Guernsey cattle , and ho has , perhaps , as many registered cows as any line breeder In the country. A great many of his cows wcro brought over from Europe , and like Senator Palmer , lie prefers to send his own farmer over to pick them out , It makes him smile more to have ono of his cows take a premium at u county fair than to inako a good real estate speculation , and ho has a number whic have taken prize after prize. Ho gets weekly reports from his farm , mid another of his fads is fine wool sheep , He spends much of his summer on the farm , and ho has a mag nificent residence upon it. Speaking of Sen ator Palmer , his fads are Pcrchcron horses and Jersey cows , lie imported some of the best animals ho has himself nnd ho expects eventually to uiako bis farm profitable. FAUMEll VS AOHICULTUIUST. Justice Lamar is well up on Jersey cows and ho has a number of flno registered ani mals on his farm in Mississippi , Ho is tired of fanning , however , and In the troubles that seem to surround the south ho wishes that the farm was sold and that his money was In vested seas to bring a good round income. I mot the Hon..Jerry Rusk , our secretary of agriculture , the ether night and asked him. point blank whether ho made any money In farming. Ilo replied : "Ihavo ono of the line farms of Wisconsin. It consists of 400 acres and I have owned it for a long time. Part of thotlmo I have boon a farmer und nart of the time I have been an agriculturist. " 'Hut General Husk , what is the difference between a farmer aud an agriculturist ! " "A farmer , " replied Undo Jerry , with laughing eyes , "Is a man who runs his farm for all the money there Is In it , who does not waste on fool experiments , and who ni a gen eral thing comes out at the end of the year with a good profit. An agriculturist is a theoretical fanner : n man who puts more money into the land than ho ever nets out of it , and ono who is always try ing some experi ment to make a fortune and seldom makes a cent.Vcll , I have been both , and while I was a farmer I made monev. I believe there Is monoyln forming today If the proper busi ness brains nro used In running n farm , and I doubt not that matters will finally rcgulato themselves , anil the farmers will again bo- cotno prosperous. " "Whcro has the most money been mndo lu farming during the past year , " I asked. "I can't ' answer that. " was the reply , " but a great deal of money has l > ccu iimdo in Florida. You remember the Disston purchase , by which Hamilton Disston of Pennsylvania got possession of hundreds of thousands of acres of the swamp lands of Florida. Ho has drained a great part of these and they are the most fertile knds in the world. Well A. S. McClure of the Philadelphia Times hud an interest In some of these lands , and two of hisnophows , who had not succeeded very well In the west , asked him to give thoin something to do. "Ho let them have BODIO of these lands and they cleared this year TI1IIITY THOUSAND POI.I.AIIS OS TIIKIU TOMATO CHOP , That is , I think , pretty good for tomatoes. This land , however , Is the richest in Florida. It consists of six or eight foot of muck , und it will grow vegetables to perfection. Othei pnrts of Florida nro not to rich as Is generally - ally supposed and you would bo surprised to know that oranges need a great deal of fer tilization , I visited once ono of the best orange groves in Florida and the man tolc mo ho would sell It for $25,000 and that it had cost him this much to make It Ho had ono tree that was wonderfully line \vhluh pro duced the finest oranges In the state and was fur superior to any other tree of his orchard. I gskcd him what was the cause of the differ Ho replied : 'The difference Is in the feed. That tree nas entcti a hog every year since it was planted. ' 'How's ' ' that ! ' said I. 'Well , you sco rtbout the time it was planted wo had a dead hog nnd wo dug a holes and | > ut him in und planted the tree right on top of him. The true grew so much faster than any of the others by the next year that I concluded to continue the experiment , and I KILLED AXOTIlUIt IIOO and burled It in its roots. I have done that every year up to now , nnd I find that the tree has paid for Its hogs many times over and its fruit will bring fancy prices in any market.1" Senator Blair tells mo that the cheapest farms lu the United States are in New Eng land. Ho says there are lots of good lands for sulo there at $5 per aero anil ho wants the other fanners of the sennto to buy country homes thero. Holnnin of Indiana 1ms a hun dred-acre farm at Aurora , Ind. . not far from the Ohio river. Ho makes some money in farming nnd is , I am told , solid with the fanners' alliance. Nearly all of the southern statesmen own farms and Senator i'ugh of Alabama once told mo that ho could make lii per cent right along out of farming in the south. Ho lias ins WOIIK AM. noxn m NKOIIOKS. General Joe Wheeler Is said to bo worth about ? 1.000,000. Ho caino out of the war poor and bo has maue all of his money out of farming. Ho has n largo estate in Alabama and ho runs it on business principles. Sen ator John Shorin in has two farm ) at Manis- tlcld.O. , but ! don't think ho makes much out of them. Ho keeps them well stocked ana ho has lately given a part of ono of them to the city of Mansfield for a park , which is now known as the Shcrman-Hoinoinuii park. The biggest farmer of the United States is Leland Stanford. Ho gave somewhere be tween fifty and eighty thousand acres to the university which ho is now building , and not long ago when riding In the train with Sen ator Allison through the northern part of the state , the cars passed through a largo tract of wheat This vast plain of wheat stretched us far as the eye could sco on both sides of the road for miles , and Senator Allison asked Stanford what ho thought of It. Stanford replied , "Ills a very flno field of wheat and I wonder who.so ills. " "It is yours , " said the conductor , who was standing near Stanford. "Indeed , " replied the millionaire , "I did not know it. I knew I bait some wheat In this part of the state , but I did not think wo had como to it as vet , " Senator Stanford engages in all kinds of farming and HE MAKES HIS rAIIMIN'O I'AV. His vineyards produce the choicest of Cali fornia wines and ho has great warehouses stored with California brandy. Ho will not sell bis brandy at the present low prices and ho has sold noun for six years. Ilo can afford to keep it and ho believes It will pay a gocl Interest on the amount of nionoy Invested hy the increase In value with age. Ho makes about a million pilous of wine every year , nnd ono of his vineyards contains 4,000 acres. This Is , I think , the largest vineyard In the world , The vineyard is so largo that the United States has a custom house connected with it in order to collect the duties prop erly. erly.Asa Asa fruit grower Senator Stanford has some of the finest fruit larms in California. He had lorn long time , a civnt deal of trouble in getting the fruit picked , Ho used China men finally , as the white men would go off on sprees and the fruit had to bo picked when it wasrlpo or It was not good. Great waste would como from delay. Ho then adopted a plan which ho has nowwhlch is most human itarian nnd profitable. Ho gives all the bovs of the publlo schools of San Francisco , who will take advantage of his offer , n chauco to coma out nnd nick fruit on his farm , Ho takes a thousand boys every year. takes thorn to his farm and keeps them there a month , paying them a dollar u day for their labor. Ilo has an immense barracks built in which they sleep and ho sees that they are well fed iinil well eared for. His superin tendents have tham divided into gangs and they nro carefully watched over as to morals. No money Is paid until the end of their job , when each boy carries homo with him $90. Ho also takes about a neck of Kngllsh wal > nuts uud the senator has bags made of a fixed size which ho fills nnd gives ono to each boy upon his departure. As to payment , when ho first brought tbo boys out on the farm ho began to pay them their wages as they earned them. Ho found , however , that lot of pool sellers and gamblers surrounded tlio farm and got the boys' Honey away from them by Inducing them to hot on wheels of fortune , base ball nnd policy games. Ho stopped this by not paying until the cud of the month , and he now pays at the close of the engagement. The senator employs Chinese cooks upon the farm , and these cooks do all the cooking fur tbo boys. Sometimes Governor Stanford goes out toseo the boys and ho always eats dinner with them. At such times thuJChincso cooks prepare A HI'EUIAI , FEASTI-OH TIIC OOVEHXOU. nnd It has been their custom to make a Httlo corner where ho is to sit and nt which there is to bo some special delicacies put. In some way or other the Clllnoso cooks alwavs got the wind of the fact that the governor was coining some days beforehand and they would have this nice little Ifcast prepared for him. Ho always circumvented them however , by sitting down somewhere clso along the table and eating with tlia boys. Ho would say , "Johnnie pass mo those pickles , " or "Sam what do you think of that meat ? " "Lctme bavo a little piec-o of that bread" or some thing os that kind und all the while the feast at the other end of the table would troun- instcd. After trying this method several times and not succeeding , the Chinese cooks gave better dinners to the whole party when ever the governor wits there , nnd in this way gave him a very good dinner and the boys a much better ono than they cared to give. A rilOl'ITAW.i : VIXKYAUl ) . Everyone has heard of Senator Stanford's great farm at Palo Alto , which contains his country residence , the great university and some of his best ranches. In tills fiirm , which , by the way , ho has given to the uni versity , ho has some land which is worth § 1,000 an acre , and he has n patch of forty acres in grapes which has produced as high as8700ayuarund which has never pro duced loss than S3.2UO u year since they have been planted. On one of : his tracts of fruit land there is a little pleco of ten acres for which a man nays him . -.lo ; ) a year for the privilege of MickiiiB the fruit. Tin : nANxr.it Mii.KKit. Ho mnkes equally as well out of Ills cattlo. He has all hind * of flno breeds of cuttle. Jer seys , Holsteins and others. Ho was very much delighted this past year to got the highest prize for butter making and milking , which consisted of a fifty dollar gold picco which ho got nt the California state fair. In this case the cow was brought to tbo fair nnd left there for a week , its mllkings being reg istered every day asd the milk bolng churned Into butter. His cows took the premium both for the production of milk and as to the quality of their milk and the production of butter. I am told ono of his cows gave the cream in ono wcok which produced twenty- four pounds of butter. I see that Senator Hearst hasahorso which has at last been successful. Ho is us proud as a turkey gobbler In a new Hock ami struts around blowing about bis tlno horses. Thu fact is , Hearst KNOWS VEUV LITTLE AI10UT HOUSES and ho docs not know even the names of his own stock. OJ a great many of hlshor.ses ho merely owns the racing privilege ; th.it Is , ho buys of Senator Stanford the right to run his horses for a certain scasoa ami they are entered under Hearst's numo though they really belong to Stanford. Senator Stanford himself does nat race his horses , or only n few of thorn to keep up the advertisement of the Palo Alto stock. Of course It Is a good thing if his horses turn out well as it makes them inoro valuable for breeding. Not long ago a race was run In the cast nt which It was reported that ono of Senator Hearst's horses had won. Hearst know little of the horse that won and ho talked about the sen nto of his line that horse know him by name. It afterwards turned out that the horse belonged to someone else and Hearst did not know whether ho was among his stocic or not. Iloarst has a jockey whom be pays 815,000 a year , and when asked the other day what this boyls name was , ho said he could not remember it , but ho know that ho kept on paying him this big salary for his work and allowing him to rim other horses when ho was not working for him. This sounds funny to a poor man. But Hearst Is a millionaire ) Ho has mines ull over the country. .His farm in California contains thousands of acres , and ho has so much property that it Is no wonder that ho does not keep better track of It all , FlIANK U.
