EAPoRIA, Kan, March 8, 1878.
EDITORS NEWs: As the silver bill
has passed and we are on the reform,
I wish to make few suggestions on
the butter question. It is well known
that the butter traffic is big thing In
this country, and If the grocers and
dealers will unite and grade butter
when it eomes TO market, the same as
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and other
farm products, we may expect to see
less poor butter offered in the market.
Now, it is well known fact that there
is vast amount of poor butter thrown
upon the market, and considerable
good butter. But the poor butter
brings the same price as good butter.
Why Is this so? The dealer will tell
you that it viii not do, that the but
ter ia this country is mostly made by
women, and that 1t is quite natural
for each woman to think her butter is
as good as that of the other
WOA-@OoS anu VIC SuUuEu
grade the butter No /, 2 and 8,
and rejected the same as my load of
of wheat that take to market, the
Devil would be to pay. Why should
not the person who brings a good srti-
Gle Of batter to market, get more than
the person that brings a poor article.
They have no more right to grumbIe
than the man that brings poor grade
OF wheat, and gets less per bushel than
the man that brings good wheat. Now
| believe it would be a move in the
right direction for country dealers to
unite and agree upon a plan to grade
all the butter that comes into market.
There should be difference in the
price of good butter and poor butter,
and the difference should be made
right at home. The butter is graded
when it reaches the eastern market,
and the dealer is the loser. Now I
speak from experience; as haye said
before the butter trade is big thing,
and If by making a difference in the
1
would be the cause of any reform in
butter making, 1 thiRk the expert
ment would be worth trying. You
will notice the quotations of western
butter along with eastern factory but
ter and the difference is western but
ter II cents per pound, eastern cream
cry % cents per pound. We are well
aware that there would be big row il
this plan we suggest should be adopt
ed. But would not the persons who
take butter to market and be Obliged
to take 2nd or Sd grade price for it.
begin to look around to see where they
could improve the quality of their but

lieve if our suggestions were carried
out that there would be less poor but.

like to hear from others on this sub

The Land Department OF the NJ, L. &
T. Railway, In this city, sold, during the
months of January and February, this
year, over fifteen thousand acres OF land.
We learn from Capt. sommers, the Com
missioner. that the country is literally
fun OF land seekers. and that all the
towns along the line Of the NJ. X. & T.
road have more people than can be &C
cOmmodated comfortably. But still they
come. The prospect for Kansas never
looked 50 bright. The population during
the year Will be increased at least quar-
ter OF = million. The M, Il. & T. COM

ing great work for the State in the way
Of advertising Its advantages and giving

In my Judgment one of che most i'm
portant subjects relating to the soln-
ton Of this question is proper home
government, one In which the child
rem are taught to respect the opinions
and wishes of their parents, brothers
and sisters, and in fact all others; one
in which they are taught that true
manhood consists in real worth of
character instead of keeping mp APP
pearance. But feeling assured that
there are others here, who, having had
more experience, hence, are more
competent to speak upon this subject
than myself, viii let this suffice and
give the time to them.

odessa wheat.


A few hints concerning this much
talked about wheat, may not be unin-
teresting to many at this time, and
while am not disposed to voueh for
everything 1 heard, / am decidedly
of the opinion that when many of
those who have heard speak so ex-
traVagantly in favor of this wheat,
become better acquainted with it, they
will be compelled by the force of facts
to change their views.
From hasty trip through Morris,
Riley and Dickinson counties, in
search of this wheat, and numerous
conversations with farmers and grain
dealers on the subject, the following
summary, may, 1 think, be relied on /:
Firstly: That this wheat is a hardy
and very productive variety the yield
being Is to % bushels per acre; and in
few instances as high 80 bushels per
acre were gathered. The wheat, when
properly cared tor, is bright, plump
and sound so much so that the In
spectors at St. Louis and Kansas City
graded it No. 8 winter wheat at first.
and even now 1t sometimes is graded
No. 4.
Secondly: I talked with Wisconsin
miller who had had six years exper-
enee with it, and said he: "The
-four from the first $50 bushels we
ground nearly all came back with re-
ports that the dough, when put into
the oven, woald run everywhere, and
that the bakers would have nothing t.
do with the flour, but that if the
dough was hard worked for half al
hour or more, kneading in all the fioul
possible, tolerabie bread would result
and that it is the poorest quality ant
lowest priced wheat in Wisconsin"
A firm of grain dealers in
Dickinson county (and this county il
the head center for Odessa wheat il
Kansas) told me that they had shipped
l6 or II car loads of this wheat to ;
Leavenworth mill, which was made in
to flour there and shipped off to thei
customers, but that as soon as the!
(the millers) heard from the flou
they sent back word to ship them NJ
more of that kind of wheat.
These shippers 1.-TWO familiesl Eoi'
me that they had had some of the bes
of this kind of wheat ground for thei
own use, but conId get no good breat
from it, and that they were glad whel
the flour wss gone.
| 1 was also told that the plan adopte'
by some grain dealers now is. to mi,
some of the best Odessa wheat witt
No. winter, and sell the mixture 70
winter wheat, and By so doing the.
make several dollars per car more.
1t ought to be stated perhaps that
made inquiry as to whether Odessa
and 'grass'' were one and the same
and was told by a large majority o
those inquired of that they were, an
few told me that they were distlnc
varieties.
For the sake of some anxious peopl
will also state that could have lai
, down in Emporia car load of Odess
wheat, at a cost of SO cents per bushe
which think 1 could have sold readil
at 81 % per bushel, leaving hand
some profit of over 800.
