• There is always a cash demand for most
of the_ productseof this interest. • Al-
though, at the present time, seine things
are cheap, others bring /good price.
Wheat more than averages a dollar a
bushel, and when it does Ott it pays
well. Peas are abervce apaying figure;

of the Cattle trade with Englatid are
very encouraging, •
As a proof that the ii11168 are not
really hard, we were informed. by a
farmer, who is a strong "proteotionist„
that he WaS paying $;90 and board, per
year, to his hired man, and henIso said
he knew of ono who got MO and boara.
We think if unskilled labor can demand
