"WASHINGTON' , Sept. 10. [ Special Corres-

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

Jlvo miles of fence to go uvound the farm
which Senator Sawyer owns in Texas , and
AVatsou C. Soulerhas perhaja the best pay

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

upon it and I got reports from my farmer
every week ns to their morning and evening

"It Is not for side , " replied ScnutorSquier ,
"but I suppose it would bring SjaiU an aero at

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

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 ,

hopelessness nnd godliness. There can bo no

But nbout Bar Harbor , llotwoon you and
me , it Is Just about as stupid as over It can
bo. U's a bad market for pjoplo with mar
riageable daughters , and nvhcro there are not
enough men to go around the women uro going
to halo each other with a sort of hatred that
can only exist between two fox terriers.
Like the fox terriers , they snap and snarl and
do a great dual of prancing around , and rctlro
behind each other's skirts I moan the fox
terriers n-tlro behind the hidioa' ' skirts , nnd
the ladles retire behind other people's shirts ,
and then declare it a "draw , " and pitch into
the ether woman who has Just loft the parly.
Woman , whoa accompanied by man. Is a de
lightful thing.Voinau \ alone is to bo feared
and avoided that is , during the summer.
During the winter months a certain sense ol
decency seems to como to her , und she doesn't '
consider every other woman her mortal
cnoiny nor gossip the entire buslaoss of the
day.
