MILWAUKEE,, May 20, 1875
Favorable crop reports continue - /
come in from all parts Of the country, and
unless the wheat crop should receive 81
rious injury during the milking season,
we may confidently look for an abundant
Weld. The prospects at this time have
never been more universally good. II
Minnesota the grasshoprers have made
their appearance, but only in few c0un-
ties and in less number than last year.
No serious damage is apprehended;
and since the Governor Of Mis-
souri, has invoked the aid Of Providenes
in the destruction Of the pests in that
State, we may rest contented that tho

Unpleasant rumors are atioat as to the
motives Of the Governor in issuing thae
extraordinary document. The weather
has been pleasant during the week and
farmers have been busy finishing their
spring work. Deliveries of wheat have
consequently been small, but in . few
DAYS material improvement will take
place and it will be necessary to make
shipments in order to make room for
fresh receipts. Early last month we pre-
dicted that No. 2 wheat would. sell at DC
about May Gath, but as the wheat trade
is 10 days late this spring, our figures
will prove about cents low, or 10 days
too early. The feeling in the wheat mar
ket is completely changed and the bun
element is losing control. Liverpool ad-
vices have shown temporary improve
J ment, but London and Continental mar
kets are weak and tending down. The
!, specuations regarding the next crop have
subsided, and the question is now press
ing on us what to do with the wheat that
is raised. We have 100000 bushels

loss. We will have at least ll,OOO,OOO

washington Palace This Year.

Washington Correspondent Chicago Times.]
Senator Jones has been taught lesson
in New York, and that is, that while he
may be very great man, he can't do
everything. His restless temperament is
not one that will allow him to be satisfied
with the inactivity Of wealth already
gained and since the lst Of January
last, he has had in hand no end ofschemes
to crafty his money-makin. love of spec
ulation. He has set up a hotel in New
York, gone into the ice.making business.
and several other interesting ventures,
but none Of them fully satisfied him. He
longed to become a stock speculator in
Wall street, and he went over to New
York some weeks ago in order to show
Jay Gould and the boys what bonanza
miner could do. He went into Panama
stock when it was IS; got himself
made director, and went through
the usual ingenious mode OF Initiating
the stock up to fancy price. All
of this is very easy to be done, under the
circumstances that surrounded Jones.
He had plenty of money, and the Jay
Gould combination, in order to more
fully bleed him, aided him indirectly II
his plans. Jones succeeded in working
the stock up from 80 to somewhere in thu
neighborhood of 70. If he had theI
sold out the stock that he held. he woult
have cleared some 100000. Senator
Jones, however, was not small specula
tor. Jay Gould had not mistaken tn
man. Jones was ambitious and desirOu
of striking terrors into the hearts Of Wal
street by lis gigantic method Of handling
stock affairs. He began buying Panam
right and left, until the stock touche
70. He was still buying. Jay Goul
and his friends loaded him up until the
thought he had all he could bear, an
then they hoped on him and his STOCK
Panama tumbled to 38 before Jones ha
,, time to turn around. The result wa
that Jones was about 100000 out. 1t
now stated, upon good authority, that
will not build new house in Washing
: ton this year, as he first intended.

II. G. Davis, one Of the Alabama lcgis-
lators Of 1872, who voted Spencer into
his seat in the United States Senate, and
who was rewarded for his fidelity with
the post-offfce at Union Springs, has 'een
sent to prison on charge Of pi!fering
from the mails. A Southern paper sar.
donically suggests that the Marshal who
arrested Davis, the jurymen who COM
victed him, and the Judge who sentenced
him, were bandits: and that the national
government ought to lose no time in

Money and Intcrest i'm the Great Cities.
From the New York Sun.

Mr.. T. D. Hinckley, Of Hoyleton,
Washington county, Illinois. wishes to
understand ''why money should be beg
ging per cent. investments IN Wall
street at the same time the people of the
West are paying from. II to 20 per cent.
interest on foreign money, giving real es.
tate at one-third its value for secu:ity."
The reason is that in the West and with
land as security. the money has to be
loaned on long terms, and the lender can
not get it again just as he wants it. Even
when the mortgage becomes due, it often
proves difficult and even impossible to sell
the security and realize the amount
loaned. But when men lend money for 3
per cent. in Wall street they take u. 5.
| bonds as security, and the es~.borrower
agrees to pay it back whenever the lcader
calls for it. If he is unable to pay ac-
cording to his agreement, the bonds can
be sold and the money realized in day $
time. 1t is because the loan is thus Sc
cured and is terminable whenever the
lender desires, that the rate Of interest is
SO low. Besides. the transaction is made
here on the spot, with no papers except a
simple power Of attorney, and IT entails
no anxiety upon the lender. ] ne case IS
! very different, as our correspondent will
understand, when the money is sent out
Ito the West to be loaned on mortgages
1t long and fixed periods. Then agents
must be employed and paid. and there i
delay, trouble and risk throughout.
What is chiefly indicated by the pres
, ent extraordinary accumulation Of money
in great cities is that business is par
, alyzed; that there are no enterprises il
! which capitalists feel confidence ant
that depressing uncertainty about tn
immediate future makes every man anx
ious to place his money where he can &c
lit and have it at . moments notice.

Does the Grange Pay :

One of onr valued subscribers, Hon. 5.
D. Payne, Of Kasota. writes to the lie
Sueur Sentinel:
Financially, it pays to belong to the. Or
der. We have discovered that the seal OF
the Grange will buy in distant market
as cheap as our home merchants can buy.
The tariff is the same for both. The trial
orders made by the members OF kasota
Grange have proved this.to certainty.
We save an average of 33 per cent. 10
those whose family expenses are three
hundred dollars, will save one hundred
dollars. There are about thirty families
in our Grange. Estimating the yearly
expenses of each family at one hundred
dollars, the Grange would save yearly
one thousand dollars. The sixteen
Oranges in the county would save yearly
about sixteen thousand dollars. Our op.
moments need not borrow any trouble
about our Order falling to pieces, that we
will never amount to anything, as long as
we can make as good a show as this.

Heavy brown ducking, eighteen cents.

their milk at twenty-four hours after
setting, are losing at least % per cent.
Of their butter. Your correspondent
from Louisville, Ky. Il. s. Harding,

remark made by another correspondent
10 relation to Mr.. Bliss experiments

really In earnest about having this ques-
ton of deep or shallow setting settled,
allow me to make two propositions to
him;
/. That he come to my place, where
I think we have every facility for max
ing the trials, and that we make the
experiment together, and If moe but.
ter Is made from given quantity Of
milk set In deep cans sixteen inches
deep at temperature of 49', than Is
made from setting the same quantity OF
milk four inches deep at a temperature
of 60o, will pay his expenses, coming
and returning,
2. That go TO his place, and assist
him in the second trial. and if more
butter is made from given quantity OF
milk set four inches deep at q tempera-
ture of 60s, than is made from the same
) quantity and quality Of milk set sixteen
inches deep at temperature of 490,
then he Is to pay my expenses going
and returning,
8, Ifneither of these propositions is
agreeable, / propose, as a compromise
(if the Elmira Farmers Club will pro-
vide the necessary fncilities), that the
trial be made during the week of the
State Fair This will give our friends
Bliss, Douglas, Waring, Hillard and
Others an opportunity of assisting and
witnessing the experiment.

Editors Country Gentleman.
AS you published, short time aimee,
the report of our first experiment In
deep setting, now ask you to publish
the result of the second experiment of
setting In cans sixteen inches deep in a
room where the temperature was 49'.
May 10, 1875, the thermometer in my
dairy room indicated temperature OF
4s0, and the trial was al once begun.
In six days four hundred pounds of
milk linked before dlvidiDg) was put
In twelve cans, sixteen inches deep In
each can Zone can being filled every
morning and evening"; and four hun
drsd pounds Of milk set In forty-eight
tin pans, four inches deep, filling four
pans every morning and evening, The
temperature In the dairy room, which
adjoined an Ice house, rs before stated,
averaged 49', never rising above 5O0, OF
falling below 49, during the trial. The
milk I'm the shallow pans was kept In O
room where the temperature was go.
Owing, as ! believe, to the low tenn.
psrature Of the room In which the deep
cans were set, the line of separation be.
tween the milk and cream was not
clearly marked. In our first expert
ment 1t was stated that about one inch
Of cream was obtained from each deep
can, In order this time, II possible, to
get all the cream from the deep cans,
we took of three inches from the sur.
face Of each can. or six pounds Of cream
and milk, making a total Of seventy.
two pounds from the twelve deep cans,
The milk all stood forty-sight hours
wasn It was skinned.
