TROf,BLE AMONG THE NIILLERS.

TROUBLE AMONG THE M1LLERS.
a man named Cochrane has brought
suit against J. A. Christian & Co., of
Minneapolis; the Jewels, of Brooklyn,
and the Haxa.ls, of Richmond, Va,
claiming royalty for the use of the ia
nous Middlings Purifier or Separator,
WHICH has placed Minnesota -four in
the front rank in all the leading mark
cts. Of the country. The Supreme
Court, we understand, has required
Christian 4 Co., of the leading Mime
apolis. mill, generally known as the
Waslburn Mill, to give bonds in the
sum of $25o,000 before they can con-
tinue the use of the machines in their
mills.
Gov. Washburn claims that these
machines have been I'M use in France
and Austria for 20 years, and that the
patents there have expired, and that he
introduced them from those countries.
There is no doubt that Cochrane has
obtained an opinion from the Supreme
Court giving him priority as inventor
Of the midd]ings machines, but Gov.
WaslIburn thinks the suits will never
be pushed to q conclusion. The object
is to terribly the millers, especially the
smaller ones, and drive them into pay
ing royalty. The cascs have an in
tense interest to the people Of Mime
sofa, who take great pride in Minncso-
tn flour, the excellence of which is due
to the new process.

NOTES or TRAVEL.

s~=s>>- zssE,T. WAYNE, July III, 1877.
EDITOR ADVANCE: On the I'd of Ju-
ly I left the beautiful and thriving
town of Worthington for the old home
stead in Northern Indiana. AT "a. M,
we arrived 1T the thriving city of Man.
kato, and at 8 o'clock we started out on
the W. & st. ?. II. r. The crops a.
long this road look lovely except corn
which is rot much in advance of the
corn in Mobiles county, quite uneven
and badly in the grass. The scenery,
rs we near Winona at this time of the
year, is very beautiful; the high banks
covered with green shi'llbs and grasses
and the val]ies covered with Il golden
harvest, especially ut Trempealeau and
at Bangor. Persons accustomed to
travel may look on the beauties and
wonders of nature without pricing the
treat they enjoy. There is /. great deal
in being accustomed to things. Famil-
iarity in this respect has Il tendency to
breed Indifference. People living in
the country, constantly surrounded by
the beauties of nature, see much that
is pleasing and attractive during 4 Wis
it in the city, while those who reside in
the narrow limits see much that is love-
~ and attractive in the country. Con-
verse about the beautiful flowers and
the surroundings Of our prairie homes,

they are merely Il penny picture com
pared with ten thousand dollar land
scape painting, when placed side by
side with the grand panorama Of nature

view jnst now.
What sea of glory the waving fields
OF grain present to view, pointing to
natures God to whom all praise and
honor are due.
AS the iron horse rushed rapidly
over vallies, through forests, over gull
lies, across rivers, and through tunnels
dug out Of solid rock, l thought how
we mortals toll and labor to accom-
plis'l our ends and make our way
through this world. The tunnel
through tic dividing ridge between
SPARTA and Norwalk is three-fourtlls of
a mile long and was completed at cost
OF i million and Il half of dollars.

door but could see1laugllt but the moon
shining with golden Brightness on the
silver waters Of the BEAUTIFUL lakes.
The morning Of the Fourth found us
passing through u beautiful corn co,,n-
try at Woodstock and kish Yuukee and
nearing the great city of Chicago. AS
we got into the suburbs of the city we
saw the tourth- ~ man firing salute
having Il couple of anvils, and us he
would hold out the heated rod he would
turn his head and prick up his ears to
listen.
At Up. m. we arrived at Fl. Wayne,
found the crops good III this part of the
country. Corn looks as though it had
had the yellow fever and had been Civ
Ell smartweed for a remedy. In the
evening took supper with my family
and have since been harvesting, eating
cherries, raspberIies, etc.

SHEEP AND UOOL.

G. T. Pope, of the Worthington Boot
and Shoe Store, has been buying wool
CHS season and from him we obtain
some valuable Information upon the
subject. Our list Of the sheep owned
in the county which we gave last week
Was imperfect and below we give some
additional names with the number of
sheep owned. Mr.. Pope has Dor ght g.
600 lbs, and estimates the wool clip this
season ut 1000 pounds. lie showed us
some fine samples of wool, III connec-
ton with which we learned the follow
ing fact, viz: that where there was a
cross between Cottswolds and Merinos
the fleece WAS very much Increased and
i'll some instances more than doubled.
Mr.. Ames, we believe, inclines mostly
to Merinos while Mr.. Borland, Of RAN
som, believes in Cottswolds. We should
like to hear from farmers us to their
observation and experience upon this
matter.
AS to profit, of course, there has been
no very good test so far, as our farmers
are only beginning. Mr.. Borland's in
crease last year was 146 lambs from 200
sheppard his wool clip is about 200 lbs.
This is yield of probably - so a head
last year. Mr.. Ames has sold his clip
TO" $6l5, and his increase is l2l lambs
making total Of about $500 on 500
Sheep, but, as we stated last week, this
past year was not II good test. The
dwellings, in Lorain, have II head OF
sheep and have sold the clip, which
with the increase, yields them ut the
rate of $2.9S Il head. This is the best
we have heard Of.
The following is the clip so far as we
could uSCeItaiu for the nrlscnt seasnn:

large and enthusiastic following to
the Presidents side, and this
accession would come mainly from
the intelligent aud property own
ing classes in the South. The long de.
lay, followed by the commission and
further delay, has shaken the conf
dence of these classes, and renewed
the hopes of the machine politicians in
the ultimate checking of this move
ment and the consolidation Of the
Southern Democrats once more. The
President by his dilatory policy has
imperiled a great opportunity and dis
appointed his well wishers.
Wade Hampton openly proclaims
that he has no business at the Capital
further than demanding the removal
Of the troops, and we heartily wish
him success in his appeals. Civil war
is bad enough, but y quasi mill
tary despotism in a free country is an
vulnerable spectacle and a relic be-
queathed to the Administration by the
effort to perpetuate the infamous car
pet bag rule in the South.
