SUCCESS OF AGRICULTURE.
The farmers are the most op
pressed class of people in existence
and agriculture is going to ruin, is
the doleful picture that some agri
cultural writers and speakers are
presenting to the American public
as the true condition of agriculture
but just stop a moment and see.
The mercantile agencies report
an average of about 200 failures in
business each week, amounting to
a round 100,000 during every de
cade or short period of only ten
years ! For the past three months
of this year, 3,59 failures are re
ported, an average of 274 per week.
These do not include a large num
ber of men who have eone into
business with more or less inherited
capital or with that saved from
their own earnings, and who, not
meeting with success, have closed
up or sold out, or been helped by
friends, before coming so hopelessly
involved as to go into the hands of
the sheriff or assignee. If the
mercantile agencies reported all
the unsuccessful cases, those fail
ing to make money or increase
their property the showing would
be startling indeed ! The average
amount of capital invested by a
great majority of these men who
fail, and by traders generally, is
not materially different from that
of the average farmer whose busi-
' ness capital is in his land, imple
ments, live stock, etc. Yet,
though the number of those en
gaged in farming as a business
largely exceeds thuse in all other
kinds of business, how very seldom
do we see a single farmer included
in these weekly reports of 175 to
250 or more failures.
The truth is, that over !0 jkt
cent of those who go into geneial
as merchants, manufacturers, etc.,
fail to prosper, not 10 prf cent of
them making a real success ; while
of those who go into farming as a
business, on a small or large sjsile,
over 90 per cent of those who are
industrious and fairly economical
do succeed, or they at least support
themselved and families, and do;
not go into bankpuptcy. j
fulfill the duties

Ax interesting experiment, it is
said, is being made with what is
called mummy wheat at McMinn-
ville. A resident of that place, so
the story goes has a lelative living
in Egypt who found a few grains
of wheat in the winding sheet of a
mummv believed to have been
rolled up about 5.000 years ago
He planted them, had the satisfac
tion of raising four healthy stalks,
each of which had thirteen distinct
heads, and sent part of the produce
to his nephew in Oregon. The
seed was planted there this Spring
with suitable precautions in the
shape of wire screens, and the de
velopment is awaited with anxious
interest. It was somewhere down
in Yamhill county that a certain
$15 & bushel wheat originated, con
cerning which several farmers of
Linn county are sufficiently well
pasted, and they will probably take
ittle interest in this mummy
wheat.

Within the last twenty 3 ears
score of wealthy men, millionaires
three and lour times over, have
died, been buried and been practi
cally forgotten. Their vast estates
have been squandered by misman
asement, divided by
or lost by depreciation. Very sel
dom will anything reappsar along
the coast line of the centuries to
come to suggest their names or
their memory. In striking contrast
to such appear the records of others
equally rich and with similar
opportunities who have blessed the
commonwealth or the nation and
left an imperishable monument in
their benefactions. I'rominent
among these is the name and
memory of John Hopkins. On May
7th. in the city of Baltimore,
formally opened the best equipped
and perhaps the most perfect in
stitution of the kind in existence,
the Johns Hopkins Hospital, with
fourteen acres of grounds, eighteen
buildings, and a system of innum
erable conveniences and essentials
which it has taken a dozen years to
elaborate and ierfect. Its object
is threefold the care of the sick;
the training of nurses ; the promo
tion of discovery in medical science.
All the resources of modern science,
all the skill of architectural genius,
all the resources of a vast revenue
have been laid at the feet of its
wisely-chosen administration by
the far-sighted founder. It is im
Kssible to calculate the pain that
will be relieved ; the anxieties dis
tilled; the triumphs of medical
skill and surgical genius achieved.
Hut the Monumental City will long
revere the memory of this hospital's
founder ; ' and thankful patients,
poor and rich alike, through gener
ations to come, will cherish the
memory and honor the name of
Johns Hopkins. If American mil
lionaires 1 generally would follow
the examples set by Hopkins,
AVilliamson, I'eabody and Stanford
instead of exploiting the vanities
and follies of life, they would not
only leave behind more lasting
reputations, but would more nearly
