Messrs Stout, Mills & Temple.-Gents-W
are using three of your American Turbine
Water Wheels, which we. have put in
our Mill within the last eighteen months
We consider them as being the best wheels
in use. We can grind cut forty barrels of
flour per day to each wheel with five foot head
and fall. which is four times the quantity we
could make with any ordinary wheel. AS
for strength we have tested them thoroughly,
having had them stopped several times by
hard pieces of wood getting in them, but
never breaking them in the least. In conclu-
sion we will say that they fully fill the bill
as represented to us before purchasing.
Yours truly,

"sEThe Jackson Herald has been en-

"eEThe Jackson Herald has been en-
larged to an eight column paper, This
shows that the Democrats Of Jackson
county appreciate the great Importance
OF liberally sustaining a homo organ" :"
Wavery Watchman.
The jackson Herald is printed on
old worn out type, and the very poorest
quality of straw paper, at some little
town in Illinois, we suppose the same
place where Jethro L. Kippins, Mas
by's candidate for President resides. 1t
is only copy of dozens of other papers
printed at the same establishment -
The publisher here never sees what is
on the outside of his paper, until it
comes here, ready printed. The inside
is then printed here, and it prctends to
be Jackson county paper. The col
umns are two ems narrower than the
columns Of the STANDARD, 30 that with
its eight columns Of Illinois selections
1t is only three ems to tho page wider
than the STANDARD. That kind of an
arrangement may be considered "liber-
ally sustaining home organ" when
the matter Is selected and printed in H.
linois; but newspaper men will laugh
at the signs Of prosperity thus mani
tested. As a publisher recently re-
marked to us, when publisher is not
sufficiently well sustained to get his
paper printed at his own office, but has
to send out Of the State to buy up
second hand papers, and attempt to
palm them of upon the public as local
papers, he is about ready to play out.
We happen to know that the Herald
is not literally sustained by the Democ-
racy of Jackson county. We regret
this, on account Of Mr.. Townsley, the
publisher, who is gentlemani and here
we will say, privately, to Mr.. T., that
he never will succeed until he cuts loose
from the miserable asses who try to
edit his paper. There is nothing in
them, or Of them, but wind.

Farming in Jackson COunty-NO.
BIZ THE EDITOR.

Not much wheat was raised in this
county at an early day An acre ortwo
was generally sown, only to raise
enough for the use of the family from
harvest until the corn was hard enough
to CRATE. Corn bread was used all the
balance of the year. The new land was
not good for wheat. 1t went mostly to
straw, and the grain was light. Then
it had SO many enemies. There were
the rust, fly, weevil, cheat, spot, &c -
On the new lands the spot was destruC-
tive. Soon after the blossom fell off
the heads Of wheat, they had spots that
turned white, and dried up. Often
these spots covered the entire head. -
The rust was also fatal, covering the
rank stalks, and sapping the substance
that should have filed the grain, There
were no reapiDg machines in those
days. The little patch of wheat was
cut with sickle. Cradles came in at
later day. The wheat was threshed
with fail. This was a hickory stick,
as thick as mans wrist, and about
eight feet long. A part of it was
mashed by pounding it with an az, SO
that it would bend, leaving a handle
some five feet long, and the other end,
which was brought down upon the
wheat, some three feet long. This fail
was swung over the head, and brought
down upon the wheat with great force,
the fail turning iu the hands at each
stroke. Threshlng with fail was the
hardest work that | ever did, There
were no tanning mills or screens, and
the wheat was passed through large
wooden sieve, called "riddle." A lit
tie wheat was put into the riddle and
held up and shaken. Two persons took
a stout linen sheet, rolled at the ends SO
that it could be held in the hands, and
tapped it towards the wheat as it was
being riddled The wind thus made
blew the chaff from the wheat. The
cheat was taken out by putting the
wheat in water The wheat would
sink, while the cheat would swim, and
could be skinned off. The wheat was
then dried in the sun, and taken to
MILL There were no mills to grind
wheat nearer than Raccoon, some fiE-
teen to twenty miles distant, where it
was packed upon horses.
! never saw soda or yeast used in
making bread in those days. but bis
cults made with sour ere am, or salt
raising light bread, as made by my
mother, was purer and better than now
made by the baker.

True Theory Of Government.

The resolution introduced at the
Chicago convention by that learned,
eloquent and patriotic German, Gen.
Carl ehurz, indorsing the doctrines Of
the Declaration Of Independence, was
NEST timely and appropriate. The
theory Of Government laid down in the
Declaration Of Independence approach
es the nearest perfection Of anything
ever devised BY man. This great doc
ument Is read every year by tens Of
thousands Of persons, and to millions Of
people, and 50 familiar have we become
with Il, that we overlook its matChless
wisdom aud truth.
It's there laid down that oil men are
cheated equal. Perhaps II Is out Of
pAC0 to say that this idea was origina-
ted by man, for the same truth Is taught
throughout the Bible. Hence It is de-
Clared In the Declaration Of Independ-
ence that this truth is self-evidont, and
that certain rights endowed by the
Creator, among which are life, liberty,
abd the pursuit Of happiness, are in
alienablei that is, they cannot be trans
ferred, sold or forfeited. To secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent Of the governed
that when any government becomes
destructive of these ends, il is the right
and duty ofthe people to alter or abol-
ish It, and form . new government,
