Edward Atkinson, the purchasing power of the wages of the day laborer has been increased more than eighty-five per cent. The cost of transporting a bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York, in 1868, was 42.6 cents; in 1900 it is less than fourteen cents by rail, and about six cents by water. ECONOMIC HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES 1 17 Finally there came a time when the grain farms were abandoned for stock-growing, and then adversity dis- appeared and prosperity came. The reason why stock-growing... succeeded seems paradoxical when one studies the details. It is a for- tunate thing that turf grass will not grow to any extent in this region, while the coarse, wiry, and less nutritious bunch grass thrives ; and here is the para- dox. By the middle of June practically all the grass on the ranges turns brown, the aerial growth perish- ing for want of moisture. Now the mere change of color does not materially affect the nutrient qualities of the grass ; but while a single shower will leach all the nutrition from turf grass, the dry bunch grass will stand a considerable wetting ; and even after the snows of winter have fallen, it is still good fodder.
