A'-Ar Last! we can agree with
the Carson Tribune when it says:

Let the voters of Nevada refuse to
support any man for Legislative or
Congressional position who does not
pledge himself solemnly to agitate
the question of exorbitant freights
and fares, both in State and national
councils. 1t is true that political
promises amount - but little; of this
fact none can be better aware than
the people of Carson City. But it is
still g necessity to bind men by
pledges, and if they fail 10 keep
them, cast them off forever as dis
graced officials.

Senator Jones will not have a

prominent Republicans who are his

his having such a "soft" thing as a

-THIs BosH was recently tele-
graphed to the press of the United
States:
In a conversation in Virginia City
last Spring, Mackay is reported to
have said: ! will give a million
dollars to secure Grant the Repub-
lican nomination, and another mil
lion to compass his election. And,
once in the White House, | will give
a million to keep him in for. life."
He added that this might be strange
talk, but he would put up the money,
knowing it to be good investment.
A man ought to insure his house
against fire. Grant is the insurance
company for the Pacific Railroad
robbers, land grabbers, and manipu-
lators of mineral lands. And they
are prepared to take large blocks of
stock in him. tE.f ID &

Cost of Bread from Corn and Wheat,

The subject of the cost of bread from
corn and wheat was brought before the
Farmers Club Tuesday afternoon by
samples made by Mrs. Conrad Wilson.
These were generally tested and ap-
proved by the large attendance, and
elected from the lady members re-
quest for the modus operandi of max
ing, with hints as to the best yeast, etc.
Conrad Wilson said that the samples
of bread submitted to the club by Mrs.
Wilson were intended to illustrate the
economic value of this form of food
and to show the capacity of these
cereals for the production of bread.
Let us now glance at some of the fig
ures, and first for corn.
When good, sound corn is properly
prepared and made into bread, by the
latest and best methods, it is found that
the gain in weight of the bread above
the meal from which it is made is over
100 per cent. In other words, pound
of corn bread is the product of less than
half a pound of corn meal, and conse-
quently bushel of corn weighing 60
pounds, and taken at fifty pounds net
over the toll. will yield 100 pounds of
bread. But when wheat -four is blended
with the meal, which is very usual, the
ratio of bread to grain is slightly di-
minished.
Assuming the cost of corn to be 80
cents bushel on general average,
this would bring the cost of the bread
for the lowest grade of the samples
submitted to one-third of cent a
pound for the meal, making total,
when the other ingredients are in
cluded, of about one cent; while for the
better sample, with Its additional in
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1878-12-13

gradients, the total cost would be about
two cents. For wheat bread tho figures
are different.
In bushel of wheat weighing 60
pounds, IL is commonly assumed that
the net weight of -four, after allowing
for the bran, shorts and toll, is about
40 pounds. But when flour is con-
verted into bread, the gain of weight
varies from 80 to 20 per cent. At this
rate of increase, the quantity of bread
from a bushel of wheat would be from
60 to 68 pounds over and above the
bran and the toll for grinding. Ac-
cording to the actual gain in Mrs. Will
sons sample, bushel of wheat would
yield 65 pounds of bread.
This gain of weight is of course due
to the absorption Of water by the flour,
and is therefore no positive addition TO
the amount of nutriment Yet it is
found in practice that the greater the
absorption, the better, as general
rule, is the quality of the bread
Assuming the cost of wheat to be IS
cents q bushel on general average,
this would make the cost of the bread
less than IL cents a pound, which is
more than the cost of the inferior grade
of corn bread, but less than the cost of
the better quality. If now we assume
the yield per acre to be, for corn 20
bushels, and for wheat 80 bushels (both
of which claim to be entirely possible
for average farmers), then we have the
following food results:
For corn bread, 1000 pounds per
acre, at cost for the lower grade of
$40, and for the better quality of nearly
double that amount.
For wheat bread, about 1900 pounds,
at cost of $50.
Now if we assume that a farmer s
family numbers five persons of various
ages equivalent on an average to four
adults), and allow two pounds of bread
per day to each, as equivalent to their
support, then an acre of corn would
sustain the family for over 800 days,
and an acre of wheat $50 days. In
other words, half an acre of corn, or
one and half acres of wheat would
maintain the family for one year.
There are possibly some doubling
farmers who will shake their heads at
these conclusions, and hesitate to ac-
cept them. Yet am prepared to show
that the figures here given are in re-
ality below the truth, and that these
cereals are capable of better results
than have indicated.-N. Y. World.

revenue, in addition TO paying for tho
cleansing from the street dirt, from the
cabs and omnibuses, the railways and
steamers. Everything that here enjoys
a corporate privilege from which mon
ey can be made in the city pays trib-
ute proportioned to the income derived.
The markets yield ahandsome revenue.
The franchises that with us are given
away, in London pay large portion of
the taxes; and the men of property inn
pose the taxes, collect them and see
that that they are properly spent. They
do not delegate these important func-
tions to politicians. The millionaires
of London conduct the Boardsof Works
and Municipal Government, and they
do it on sound business principles. l
asked how much of the public money
was squandered here. The reply was
that some may be, but If they suspect
that as much as shilling in the pound
is wrongfully spent there is an outcry
made about it, How happy Philadels
phia would be were she sure that only
five per cent. of her taxation is squan-
dered.-Cor. Public Ledger.

A Poisoned Lake.

A contributor to the London NewS
describes the remarkable poisoning of
Lake Alexandria--one of the bodies of
water which form the estuary of Muir
ray River, Australia. This year the
water of the river has been unusually
warm and low, and the inflow to the
lake very slight. The consequence has
been an excessive growth of conferva
which is Indigenous to these lakes, and
confined to them. This alga nodulariG
spunligerG, is very light, and floats on
the water, except during breezes, when
it becomes diffused, and, being driven
to the lee shores, forms thick scum
like green oil paint.
This scum, which is from two to six
inches thick, and of a pasty consistency,
being swallowed by cattle when drink
ing, acts poisonously and rapidly causes
death. The symptoms of the poisoning
are stupor and unconsciousness, falling
and remaining quiet Gas if asleep, un-
less touched, when conyulsions are in
duced, the head and neck being drawn
back by rigid spasm, subsiding before
death.
The poison causes the death of sheep
in from one to six or eight hours; OF
horses, in from eight to twenty-four
hours; of dogs, in from four to five
hours; and of pigs in three or four hours,
A post mortem shows the plant is
rapidly absorbed into the circulation,
where it must act as ferment, and
causes disOrganization, AS the cattle
will not touch the puddle where the
plant scum has collected and become
putrid, all they take is quite fresh, and
the poisoning is therefore not due to
drinking a putrescent fluid full of the
bacteria, as was suggested.
When the scum collects and dries on
the banks it forms green crust. When,
however, it is left in wet pools it read
lily decomposes, emitting most horri-

Now bring on your holly, and do not move slow
Wen deck the whole house with the branches so

On wall and on picture the leaves shall be seen.
OH merry the time when we all meet together
In spite Of the cold, and the wind, and the

When grandparents, uncles and cousins We see
All gathered around the mahogany tree.
II stands in the hall that mahogany tree;
And very nice fruit il will bear, you'd agree
Could you look on the turkeys and puddings and
pics
That on Christmas Day feast something more
than our eyes.
The poor and the needy, they come to our door,
And carry off with them bountiful store
OF all the good things that we have for ourselves
In cupboard and cellar. on tables and shelves.
When dinner is ended. what sound do we hear
From the hUlly-decked parlor ring merry and
clear?
'Tis Uncle Tins fddlel The tune is a call
To all the good people to come to our ball.
They come, old and young, and partake the good
cheer,
For Christmas dawns on us but once in year;
Then hand mp the holly and let us prepare
The house for the frolic in which we must share.
