in their orders.
An interesting fact was recently
stated by tho Rice County Journal to
the effect that the Boston bakers had
tried Minnesota Spring Wheat -four
with the best Southern and Western
winter they could get, and they found
to their astonishment that barrel of
the Minnesota Spring Wheat flour pro-
duced forty pounds more of bread
than barrel of winter wheat -four
At first they thought they had made a
mistake, but they repeated the expert
ment with the same result. The bread,
besides, was of better quality than
that made from the winter wheat -four.
The same paper stated another fact
which we have seen stated before, viz {:
that wheat shipped by way of Duluth
to the New York market will bring
about ten cents per bushel more than
the same wheat shipped in the old way
by Milwaukee and Chicago. The rea-
son for this is that when sent by Du-
luth, there is less opportunity for mix
ing with inferior grades. The bane of
Minnesota wheat is that it is seized
upon in Chicago and Milwaukee and
mixed with inferior wheat to raise the
grade. Hence the demand for such
facilities as will enable Minnesota to
deliver her wheat IN New York in a
pure and uhmixed state. The plan
proposed, as heretofore stated, is to
have large receiving elevators at Du-
luth with transfer elevators at Buffalo,
owned and controlled by those who are
interested in keeping Minnesota wheat
pure.
There are q few facts which show
that Minnesota is to retain the suprem-
acy 80 Tonga as we can raise such wheat
as the State is now raising. The best
brands of flour now in the market can
be made only from the harder varieties
Of Spring wheat grown in the North
west. It is said also that the Minneso-
ia wheat, when shipped southwark for
milling purposes, looses much of its
flinty character, and fails to produce
as good quality of flour rs when
ground at home. The same is probably
true Of wheat shipped east, though
probably to a less extent. So that Min
nesota is almost sure to lead the world
in flour so long as we can produce our
present superior grades Of wheat.
The Farmers Union we'll says that
nothing can prevent prosperity to our
farming interests for years to come,
but the suicidal policy Of cropping the
land continually without enriching it,
or Of sowing the same grain on the
same fields year after year with
out rotation, and adds, that ''of all
sections of the country there is none
which promises greater pecuniary re-
turns to the tillers Of the soil than our
Own."

PARDoNED. The President has pardoned
F. +. &. Lindsay, the Egyptian corn man.
He was convicted Of mail robbery several years
ago and sentenced to the Albany Peutcntlary
The first time he was tried he played the in
sanity dodge. He was found guilty neverthe'
less, but Underwood set aside the verdict;
whereupon Lindsay was SO ovcrjoyed, he went
to the bench, Rugged the Judge, called upon
God to bless him and kicked up thunder gen,
.erally. He is called the Egyptian corn man
by reason of the fact that he sold vast quantl
ties of that kind of corn raised in Ohio and
soon after the war when his brother farmers
were distressed and ahungered "he took them
in.' He claimed fabulous productlveness tor
his corn and got about s. W peck from those
who we're ANXIOUS TO get il for sced.-Rich. Cor

ple will De much given to politics
The autumn began last Tuesday
with the biennial State and Con
gressional election in Vermont. and

programme is to be followed in
Maine. October brings important
elections in Indiana, Iowa. Ohio and

sequence in Georgia and South
Carolina. West Virginia closes the
month with an election for Con-
gresham, and tbeD comes the grand
finale on the second and third of
November, OH which days twenty
seven States and Territories will
hold elections, and over two hun
dred representatives in Congress

these State officers are to be chosen
and fifteen Governors are on the
