Four mills in the jun river valley car
grind 100000 bushels Of wheat in three
hundred days. The tanners within ten
miles Of the mills raise that much, and
within twenty miles about half that much

cities, but the difficulty is in packing it
we have no barrels. Sacks wont do. They
don't DO TO ship in on water. Nothing bu'
barrels for 1000 miles transportation vii
do. Now, do the millers know that they
car purchase slaves and have them lie
livered here cheaper than they could TAXI
them out here if the timber stood right BY
the mill. Barrels can be put up here b.
coopers at least for 40 cents. Your wheal
is worth to-day, in any market, three te
four cents more a bushel than any other
If go, your flour will be worth Chat is i
you make it proportionateiy good twenty
five cents per barrel mure than any othe
-four. So you can't complain If you: barre
costs you ten or twelve cents more than th'
miller who has not No I wheat t, grind
The old rule in milling WAS, that the of. fa'
should pay for the barrel. AT the pric
you sell bran and shorts now it will nor
