Small Farms.
J. R. Dodge writing to an exchange
says: It is gratifying to know that farms
in this country, while increasing in num¬
ber, are diminishing in size. This is the
tendency in all parts of the land. Old
plantations of the South are cut up into
several farms, rented usually, but some¬
times bought by the freedmen, who
formerly cultured them under com
pulsion. The division of large tracts is
rapid on the Pacific Coast. Bought for
speculation, in areas so large that fears
of landlordism was excited in many quar
ters, and cultivated in part to realize
taxes and interest while holding, they
are kept only until sufficiently adver
tised to make a market at a long advance.
The broad prairies of the Upper Wiscon
sin and Red River of the North are
tempting inducements to capital. The
bonanza farms serve well to lure new set
tiers, to swell prices, and by-and-bye to
fill the pockets of their owners by the
sale, not of their wheat, but of their
acres. Big farms are not always profit¬
able in this country—perhaps not often
profitable.
There is another sort of farms, the
great cattle and sheep ranches, that
threaten a worse monopoly than the great
wheat farms. Without owning more than
a few acres, on some water-course, some
ranches fence in thousands of acres of
public lands, excluding the pioneer with
a small herd or flock. It is becoming a
general practice, and individuals are
combining in companies, with bona-fide
capital amounting to one, two and some¬
times three million dollars. The con
trolling interest of many of these com¬
panies is held by foreigners, absentees
who live in England and Scotland, and
draw their income from America as from
Ireland. The Secretary of the Interior
has sounded the note of warfare upon
the plunder and monopoly of the domain.
The illegal fences should “go.”
Do farmers realize the full meaning of
the small-farm plan ? It means schools,
churches, society, culture in all direc
tions. Monster farms mean a desert,
isolation, barbarism. Small farms en
courage good tillage, make large crops,
high prices of land and property for all.
Instead of four million farms in less than
a generation eight will be required.
Available public lands will be scarce.
When farms are no longer given away,
and landowners must divide, they will
sell only at a strong advance on nominal
rates. It is a good time for the poor man
to secure a foothold upon a convenient
bit of soil, become a land speculator in a
commendable way, and make a home for
himself and his children before the com¬
petition for land shall crowd him to the
wall of homelessness.
With an Eye to Economy.
A tinware peddler called at a house on
Fourth avenue the other day to exchange
some of his goods for paper rags. The
woman brought out a sack weighing ten
or fifteen pounds and the peddler held
it up on his spring scale and announced:
“Derevhas shust six pounds, so help
me gracious.”
Her husband came out at this moment
and replied that he would not accept any
such weight. He knew there were at
least ten pounds in his sack, and he didn’t
propose to be swindled.
“My frendt, do yonpelief Isheat you ?”
asked the peddler.
“You would if yon got the chance.”
It was agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself; but he was no
sooner out of sight than the peddler
drove off and did not stop for fiijp blocks.
In the afternoon the man met him down
town and asked:
“Ah ! you rascal, why didn’t you wait
for me ?”
“Vlias dere more as six pounds?”
“Yes, sir—ten of ’em.”
“Veil, dot’s vhy I didn’t wait. If you
pelief my scales vhas too light und I pe
lief der grocery scales vhas too heavy, we
shtand und jaw und call names und lose
time. So I move on und make half a
dollar on some lead pipe. ”—Detroit Free
Press.
“I w ttjT. accept anything else in poli
tics as a necessity, hut save me from a
post office fight in a small town,’ ex¬
claims a Congressman. “They surpass
earthquakes and cyclones,”

Young Warriors.
At the first battle of Bull Run John
Meigs, a son of General Meigs, and a
West Point cadet, seeing no generals
about assumed and for some time
directed the movement of the troops,
the officers supposing he was an aid-de
camp, and that the orders came from the
generals. Seeing the Confederates mass
ing in the wood to take Green’s Battery,
Meigs ordered Colonel Mathewson to
move quickly with his regiment to the
support of the battery. The movement
was promptly executed by the First
California, and then two other regiments
were brought up. Later in the day the
youthful general, seeing the field was
lost, said to Colonel Mathewson: “You
had better fall back toward Centerville.”
“And by whose authority do you give
me such an order as that ?” inquired the
colonel.
“Well, sir,” said young Meigs, “the
truth is for the last two hours I have
been unable to find any generals, and
have been commanding myself.”
I saw young Meigs on the field, and he
was wounded through the knee, but re¬
mained on duty, although in terrible
pain and faint from the loss of blood. He
was afterward killed in the Shenandoah
Valley.
In the First Iowa there was a little mite
of a drummer boy named Edward or, as
he was more commonly called, Eddie
Lee. At Wilson’s Creek he had both
feet shot off by a cannon ball. A
wounded Confederate, who was shot
through the bowels and lay near Eddie
had taken off his suspenders, and making
of them ligatures, tied up Eddie’s stumps
to stop the flow of blood. During the
night the soldier died and Eddie lay on
the field all night beside him. In the
morning, as soon as it was light, the First
Iowa were surprised to hear Eddie’s
drum beating the reveille down in a
ravine. One of the men, following the
sound of the drum, went to him and
found the little fellow seated on the
ground vigorously beating away, his
drum fastened to a bush by his side.
“Good-morning, corporal,” he said;
“oh, get me some water, lam so thirsty.'*
The corporal got the water, and while
he was giving the boy a drink, the Con¬
federates came up and captured them
both. A horseman took Eddie up ten¬
derly before him and carried him to the
Confederate camp, where his stumps
were amputated and the wounds care¬
fully dressed, but he died in a few hours
after the operation was performed.
Would Not.
Shortly after the marriage of King Vic¬
tor Emanuel, he met a peasant girl upon
the steps of the royal palace at Turin.
She was bringing a basket of eggs for
the royal kitchen, and because the King
wore a plain hunting dress, and was
alone, she took him for a servant. “Do
point oat the King to me,” she begged;
“I should like to see him.” “I am the
King,” he said. “Eh 1 baht” said the
girl, laughing into his face. “The
Princess would not have chosen such an
ugly man.” The King laughed too,
and accompanied the girl to the kitchen
where he bade the servants attest to his
indentity. He then gave the girl a 20
franc piece and left her bewildered and
surprised
