The World-Herald of yesterday

by adding an extra drum which
works the sand blast independent
of the other air drums.

Joshua S. Peckham, of Gaslin,
one of the oldest and best known
residents of this county, returned
yesterday from a three month's trip
to the New England States. Mr.
Peckham has traveled over two
thousand miles on his wheel and
therefore had a good opportunity
to learn the condition of the crop
both as to that produced on the
farm and the crop political. The
first, he says, will be good along
the coast, but not so fine in the in
terior of York state and up through
Vermont and New Hampshire, the
hay crop in the old Keystone state
being poor. Through Ohio and
the western part of Canada every
thing looks in prime condition, but
there is nothing in Mr. Peckham's
judgment to compare with thp
state of Iowa and the eastern part
of Nebraska. As to the political
crop, the yield will be simply enor
mous, and it will be nearly all of
one kind solid for sound money,
protection and McKinley.
The writer accompanied Mayor
Baker Wednesday afternoon to his
farm just west of town and looked
W T .
over nis crops. :ir. isaKer owns
500 acres of land in a body, but' he
does not engage ver' heavily in
farming, although he has fields of
excellent wheat, barley, oats and
alfalfa. Of the latter he has cut
one crop and will cut the second
crop for seed. The alfalfa was put
in the season of 1891. and although
it has never been irrigated, the
stand is excellent. Mr. Baker is
on the line of the Farmers and
Merchant's ditch, and has construct
ed a lateral through his land capa
ble of conveying five water rights
of eighty acres each. In this tract
of 500 acres there is scarcelv anv
that cannot be irrirated with butiBox37' Cit
little expense. Mr. Baker has con
siderably more laud than he cares
to hold, and has placed a good part
of the tract on the market. As the
land is only about one and one-half
miles from town, parties looking
for irrigated land cannot find a
more desirable location.
