Important TO Farmers.
Private letter from A. A. Freeman to F. r. Steph-
ems of the firm of Freeman Stephens.1
New York, June 14th, 1878.

rPriyate letter from A. A. Freeman to r. r. Steph-
of the firm of Freeman & stephens.l
New York, June 18th, 1878.
f.. r. STEPHENS Dear Sir,-Samples
of i1our from Red River wheat just re-
ceived and carefully examined both
the patent and the bakers grades are
vastly superior in strength to the reg
ular grades made from homegrown
wheat. While the flour is not so white
as in the latter, yet the strength is
what is wanted ard grades like these
samples would sell at least % cents
per barrel higher; but more than all
they would command a ready sale at
all seasons of the year, whereas the
weaker flours, though of better color.
are slow of slle as rule, and particu-
larlv so in hot weather when great
strength and elasticity are required by
bakers.
This test proves that our mill can
produce as strong flour as any in Min
nesota. if we only had the wheat; for
/ can assure you there are no stronger
flour for the respective grades in the
II. Y. market than these samples;
mean from any mill that separates a
liberal per cent. of patent and making
bakers grade with only a moderate
per cent. of patent in it. In other
words, compare the work, not with
a few other mills making strictly
straight grades, but with those rum
ming on about a corresponding separa-
ton of grades with ours; on that ba-
sis of comparison say no mil in Min
nesota can produce stronger -four than
these samples from Red River whe;lt.
Very truly.
A. A. FREEMAN.
The wheat referred to in the above
is what remained from that brought
from the Red River country by Freeman
& stephens aid distributed by them to
the farmers for seed.

WHO HE Is.

The Enterprise has pretty etfectually re
viewed Mr.. Tamerlane W. W Davies's back
action to the Democratic PLATFORM As t,
Mr.. Davies himself that is to say who he is
and what, that paper has not yet told its
readers. BY way of supplying the deficiency
we will state the following facts Mr. Davies
is native of the South. He was educated
by the United States Government at the
Naval School at Annapolis. He entered the
United States Navy as midShipman and
sailed the seas over in that capacity until the
outbreak of the rebellion. Then he Joined
himself unto the fortunes of the ''Confeder-
acy' During the war he sometimes served
in the land forces and sometimes in the navy
of Mr. Jefferson Daviss government When
the war was concluded, Mr.. Davies came to
Nevada. His political performances have
been done in the name of the Democratic
party. He represents in an amphibious way,
the rebel army, the rebel navy, our deluded
Southern brethren and the Lost Cause. He
is well educated, He got his education at
the expense of Uncle Sam. His manner of
employing his education is very gratifying to
the sympathisers of the late lamented Gen
erals Forrest and Morgan, Lee and Jackson.
He was Bradley man at the primaries; he
is of the same persuasion now. Also he sup
ports Mr.. Deal and his peculiar "agsrandize-
ments" That's who Mr. Davies is and these
are some of his peculiarities Enterprise
please copy.

A New CUBAN Eastern exchange SAYS
Among the firearms exhibited at the Paris
Exposition, and which has attracted much at
tention from military visitors, is a gun man
ufactured by the Remington Arms Company
of lion, n. Y, which must be an improve
ment on all breech- leaders with which we are
familiar The breech block is similar to the
Martini Henry rifle but the opening is effect
ed by the hammer 1t has an auxiliary mag
azine, so arranged that a reserve of seven
cartridges may be kept in the magazine and
the gun used as an ordinary breech- loader IN
til critical moment, when by pushing aside
the key of the magazine the reserve is brought
into play, and the seven shots may be fired
with aim in ten seconds A gun of this nature
has long been desideratum in the American
service, and the advantage of this reserve
magazine over the ordinary magazine system,
such as the Winchester gun, is clear. While
deliberate long range fire is going on the gun
is used as an ordinary breech- loader, and fed
by hand, but when charge is to be repealed,
or firing at close quarters from any reason,
the magazine is thrown open by command, by
a touch of the thumb and the seven shots are
delivered with an effect which can easily be
imagined
