FARMERS TALK TO FARMERS | A DEMONSTRATION WHICH BARS DISCUSSION good bread, and a full tumbler of wine, “the sort you pay a dollar a quart for at_any hotel.” For this kind of board, eans pay 40 cents a day, cents a meal. The Written Specially for The Bulletin.) A correspondent out in Wisconsin yeen writing me a flew mighty in- terpsting details .about prices ‘way yaflc im 1840, That was the year when his grandfather migrated to southern Wisconsin and took up a couple of “claims” The family have lived on this place ever since, and my correspondsmt remembers a good many of the happenings along the road from that time. He recalls how his grand- father used, half-laughingly to call himself “lamd-poor” because, while he had a whacking big farm and a very good ome, too, he seldom had or was able to get raoney*enough to pay post- age om a letter. the Europ- or 13 1-3 laborers, mostly West Indian negroes, have very decided tastes of their own. They want certain kinds of food, prepared in cestain ways. They do not want to eat at tables, but t carry the fooq away to their own “shacks,” or where they please. In order that they may have what they want, as they want it, Uncle Sam pro- vides them with Jamaican cooks of their own selection. At each meal each man is given a bucket of rice, a great ladle of soup and meat or fish, a pint of coffee, a banana or two, and plenty of vegetables. He also has one full About the oy crop raisable on the farm which oouid be sold was wheat. That would grow finely and vield (" 3 fully.

There are three classes of hotels eating houses for the people who are digging that ditch; one for the laborers who mostly ceme from the West Indies and whose staple diet, by their own preference, is that which y are accustomed to at home, and sts largely of codfish, rice and sugar; one for the so-calleq “silver aborers,” who are mostly Italians or Spaniards and who want beef, pota- toes and macaroni; and one for the American workmen, who want the best f everything on earth and plenty of it. For these last, Uncle Sam main- tains nineteen hotels along the line of the canal. These hotels all have wide verandas, are all inclosed in netting so that neither fly nor mosquito is ever seen in any of them, use clean table- loths every day and fresh napkins avery meal, serve their viands on first class china and other ware, at the hands of prompt and attentive waiters. Here is a sample menu from one of nese hotels, which the correspondent averw s no better than the average wenu served any day and every day at all the mnineteen are bought with intelligence and judg- ment—not in any hit-or-miss sort of way., They are bought for what they for what some soapy salesman may say they are. The commissary buyers always buy where they can do cheap- est. But cheapness doesn't al mean to them nor to anybody lower price. We all know that priced goods are often dearer in end than high-priced goods. T've bought “cheap” overalls for 35 cents. And I've bought cheaper ones at 87 cents—cheaper because they would made to sell, not to wear. Sometimes a pound of butter at thirty-five cents s cheaper than one at twenty-eight cents—if the crafty salesman puts lo e “pound.” As an illustration—the com- missary buvers choose for bread-flour a blend of Kansas and Dakota hard wheat, every barrel of which is thor- oughly tested before acceptance. Then a full pound is put into every loaf, with the resuit that it is sold from the government bakery at four cents, “bet- ter bread than can buy anywhere in the United States.
