The Exploded wisconsin Mills.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE magnitude OF
tue loss to the country by the disastrous
explosion, and the contingent results in
Minneapolis and the northwest, can
scarcely be comprehended by those who
have not given attention to the subject
further than to read the account oil the
event heretofore published in the tele.
graph. The destroyed mills, six in num-
Der, we're erected in 1879 at a total cost
$3.50, 600, divided as follows: Washburn
mill a, $4,000; Washburn mill B, S97, >
900; Petit, Robinson & Co.'S mills, $780,
900; Diamond mill, $50, 900; Zenith mill,
10000; Humboldt mill, $4,000. The
total amount Of flour manufactured by
these mills per year averaged 8. 500, 600
barrels. OF this, the manufacturing ca
pacity Of 100000 was destroyed. Be.
sides this, the mills turned out yearly,
CO 900, 900 pounds Of feed, the capacity
destroyed being 100000 pounds. To
accomplish this, the total number OF runs
Of stone was 1877, OF which 100 were de-
s,royed. The runs were divided as fol-
lows: Washburn mill A, A; Washbnrn
mill B, "a; Petit. Robinson & Co.'S mill,
10; Galaxy, II; Zenith mill, 9; Diamond
mill @. This destroys over one.half Of
the milling capacity Of the city. The
Washburn mill A, was the third largest
In the world, the largest being at LyonP,
France. Connected with the mills was an
elevator having a capacity Of 100000
bushels OF grain, being the largest In the
world. The number Of middling.purif-
era destroyed was llS.
The Washburn mill was owned by c.
@. Washburn, Of Wisconsin, one Of the
four Washburn brothers, respectively Of
Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois and Wis
cousin. The mill was Of stone, one hun!
dred feet wide, one hundred and thirty
eight deep, six stories high, had walls
six feet thick al the bottom, running out
twenty inches at the top, and a gravel
roof and iron cornice.
When II Is considered that Minneapo.
lie is the most extensive aour.producing
point in this country, the magnitude Of
the loss 10 the country is apparent. I'm
I'll within three years ST. Louis and Buf.
ialo have exceeded Minneapolis in this
product but now the annual product in
Minneapolis has been several hundred
thousand barrels more than either Of
those cities. .aH
All Of the proprietors OF these mills
are wealthy men, enterprising and ener.
getic, and will, no doubt, Immediately 70.
build. But the least time in which they
could he rebuilt, reiutnished and put in
readiness Is six or eight months, and per.
haps 4 longer time will be required. The
total milling capacity Of Chicago is only
29S, pa bushels annually. The reader
can estimate the loss by making COM

Going 10 Farming.

The Wellsburg Herald, whose editor II
q farmer, has an article In it's last issue
on this subject, in the course OF which
those who give advice to people to qui
the cities and towns and betake them
selves to farming are pretty sharply criti
cised.
We defer to the practical knowledge
Of the editor Of the Herald as respects
the general subject Of agriculture, but
we do not see that "what he knows about
farming" has any bearing on the points
that have been mainly discussed by those
who have given the advice which he
criticises. His essay on the distribution
and diversity OF labor, and on the scsn'
profits Of farming, is we'll enough, Few
perhaps will be inclined to differ with
him in what he says about the hard
work required on farms and the modsr'
ate return on the capital invested in that
business.
All this, however, Is not TO the point
The advice to which the Herald refers, so
far as our observation goes, was to those
who were unable 10 obtain employment
in their customary vacations, and who
were either eating up what little they
had saved or had already done SO, and
were thus in danger Of becoming depend
emit on aid from others-a dependency
that is always demorallzlng to those
helped and to society in general.
The point made on behalf oil this clasi
Of people was that having health and
strength wherewith to labor, and also an
assumed willingness 10 earn their own
living, (all avenues to livelihood in
cities and towns being closed against
them-literally chOked up by competi'
tion) the best thing, in fact the only
thing, they could do,waa to resort to mans
primeval occnpation-viE-tilling tue
soil-the source from whence comes more
wealth, health and happiness" than any
other employment known to mankind.
As TO the excess Of production oil which
the Hsrali speaks, as sure to resultfrom
10 many persons going TO farming, pray
