To the Farmers of Minnesota.

The question OF cleaning your wheat IN
It's PRESENT sprouted condition is one OF
nressing interest TO you. The estimate by
those best posted is, that the loss to farmers
from the mast storms will reach millions oil
dollars. unless there il the greatest care
nsed in preparing it for marke., and at best
il will be large.
we wish to call your attention to the fact
thai, we can separate with our Little Giant
Tanning Mills. all the grown and light and
tii,bted wheat from the good. In short II
Their, is any No. / heat in the lot, We do
not care what else there may be mixed With
il. we can get it out, and hat speedily. In
,b. cleaning OF an ordinary crop OF his
wears growth ot wheat, our mills will save
| three times tier cost to any farmer using
them. 1t will not only take out all the
sprouts, and separate the light from the
heavy wheat, but it will take I'll the oats,
ockle. smut and chess, and wild buckwhea
from the No. l wheat.
We do not put this before the public al
an advertising catch, but will fully warran
. mdls to do all we here represent.
We have quite q number on hand but on

MONEY AND YARD-STICKS.

Ex-Governor Seymour has written a
letter on the money question to q working
mar in Pennsylvania, explaining the evils
which imitation brings to the laboring class
He says: Paper money is cheap and makes
society drunk as liquor does an individual.
Then comes the reaction, the dellrlum
trem ems. That is the trouble now IN our
country. Business is checked and thou
sands of mechanics and lab"ring men are
out of work and suffering severely in our
cities. Everyone can see if a few men had
the power to change the size OF bushel
baskets or length of yard-sticks when they
pleased, that the laborers who buy would
be the losers. The same thing is done IN
| effect when the value of bank bills IS
| changed, for they measure values just as
bushel baskets and yard sticks measure
quantities.
That looks plausible but let us e.
anime it. Suppose the U. S. govern
eminent was to say to the people OF this
country, 1--WE perceive you are all pros
porous and happy; you are all ousy
veur families are well clothed and fed
new railroads are being built; new
farms opened; new regions settled; bu'

Sweet Oil For Poison.
A plain farmer writes:

A plain farmer writes:
II is now over twenty years since /
heard that sweet oil would cure the bite
of q rattlesnake, not knowing that it
would cure other kinds of poison.
Practice and experience have taught me
that it will cure poison Of any kind, both
on man and beast. The patient must
take spoonful of it internally, and
bathe the wound for cure.
To cure horse, it takes eight times
as much as for a man. One of the most
extreme cases of snake bites occurred
eleven years ago. 1t had been of thirty
days standing, and the patient had been
given up by his physicians. Igave him
a spoonful Of the oil, which effected a
cure. II will cure bloat in cattle caused
by fresh clover. II will cure the stings
of bees, spiders. or other insects, and
