aD.-To furnish our abundant wheat crop in mark,
we'll cleaned is highly important, both a. regards
our credit and as to the price We will get. Oul
wheat well cleaned will pass for No. I in Chicago
and find reader and better sale than No 2. N,
labor will pay better than that spent in cleaning I
crop Of wheat until it is free from oats and dirt
every description. We saw q car load at Atalissa
few days ago, cleaned by Mr.. Rowe, with q fal
having riddle of his own invention, which il
adapted to taking the oats from the wheat. It l:
the best for the purpose We ever witnessed. Mr.
Rowe bought 200 bushels of wheat from the thresh
er, which he run through the fan in four hours. W.
have no doubt it is worth five cents per bushel
more than it would be with the oats and dirt tina
is generally found in the wheat coming to market
The difference in price on the crop in the Stat
well cleaned would be from four to FIVE dollars OF
the hundred bushels. This would average nearly
fifty dollars to each farmer-a consideration worthy
of attention.
W The Burlington Has0ksys of the $50
quotes spring wheat at $4,000. corn at 1s@2ec
and oats at 15@l6c in that market The Dubuqu,
Herald of the same date quotes wheat at 62@62lc
Grain has not yet got down to such low figures il
