Professor Norton s. Townshend, of the
Ohio State University, Columbus, o., is
engaged in a series of interesting expert
ments with wheat for the purpose of as
certaining by microscopic examination
at what stage of ripening it should be
cut. Farmers in many localities think it
advisable to harvest the grain so early
that none of it will shell out in the pro-
cess. 1t is found that whittier flour is pro-
dueed when this is done; but it is also
found that the flour does not ''rise" as
Mell as Ihat which is made from the ma
tured grain. A succession of nicrosconic
examinations conducted through the ne
riod after the kernel has reached its full
size, and before the perfect ripenino of
the grain, is expected to yield valuable
Information on the foregoing points.

The Farmer Feeds Them Al

Every calling, profession and pursuit is
by the farmer. He feeds all
nations of peoples. If he is skillful, ed
ucated and successful, trade prospers; the
white sails of commerce and peace float
busily over the seas; the myriad looms
and spindles of our factories, the forges
and alyils of our shops and foundries, put
forth their full strength, and make all the
air resound with their dinI
The skilled artisan and mechanic, with
plenty before them, ply their busy hands
and exercise their acute brains to bring
out of chaos things of use and beauty
contrivances to tighten labor and further
prosperity. So, too, in the sunshine of
prosperity, all pursuits bask and flourish,
and the nation of great farmers becomes
great.
If the farmers of the nation lack skill,
science, and education-requisitef for sue
cessfuI culture-the soil locks up its treas
ures; then commerce, the great indus
tries, trades, and professions, all Ian
guish, and the nation is in woe and want.
Agriculture, then, may be regarded as
the basis not only of individual comfort
and success, but of national greatness
A glance at the status of nations will at
once show that in proportion to the agrf-
cultural advancement and skill, is it
classed in the eye of the world. Eng
land, France, Germany the United States,
Of modern times, and Greece and Rome,
the smistresses of the world'' of ancient
times-all Of advanced agriculture-hOw
infinitely above the lands in which this
great industry langufshes! Speaking OF
Rome, we cannot forbear giving an ex-
tract showing the estimation in which
agriculture was held by that nation in its
paImiest days: "Among the Romans ag-
riculture was held in the greatest esteem.
Cato in the second and Varro in the
first century previous to the Christian
era; Virgil, at the time of the birth of our
Savior; Palladines, Pliny, and Columella,
have all extoIled its excellences. Several
of the noblest families of Rome derived
their patrOnymes from some vegetables
which they were famous for raising, such
as the Fabii peo, Lentuli, Cicerones, etc.
These were the days of Roman agricul-
tural glory. Cato says that when they
praised a good man they called him an
agriculturist and husbandman, and il
was considered great honor to be thus
spoken of. Cincinnatus, who fiourished
46O years before Christ, was the plough
man of his own four acres, and when the
SammitO ambassadors visited Curtiu'
Dentatius, they found him at work with
his vegetables. Cato says: Study to have
large dunghill; and to this would add
treat your dumb laborers as inferiol
I brothers, deprived of speech"
How important, then, that agriculture
should be fostered and encouraged; tina
the aged veterans of the plough shOulC
be honored for their works sake, and Th'
young taught to respect and take pride il
their calling. To its praise Virgil SAM
his immortal Georges and Cato his high
: est philosophy. Should not the veteran
;, of agricultural literature meet every en-
couragement in their good work from
grateful people ?-AnaertcGs Farmer.

The Ohio State Jou,aal, throws some new
light upon the Fessler defalcation by the
following:
FFWhen Fessler came to work up his
chances for the nomination, he met a
former friend of the demi monde stripe at
one of the fashionable places on Seventh
street. Her name was give to the repor-
ter as Harry Horton, or at least she went
by that name here, and supported the
alias of Johnnie Banks at Cleveland, Pitts
burg, and other points. She is a large,
fine looking lady, and when she stopped
in this city was recognized as the house
keeper. She had been here but a few
months previous to the State convention
named when she met Fessler, and about
the same time she became possessed Of two
rings (cluster diamonds), diamond set
of earrings worth over $500, and a fine
set of bracelets, the former and latter
costing hundreds of dollars. These pres
ents were secured soon after Fessler had
Withdrawn from the contest for Treasur-
er of State. 1t is stated that she influ-
enced him to withdraw for the reason she
did not believe he could be nomin ated ,
and for the more potent reason that she
wanted the money which she knew he
would spend in the campaign. 1t is as
serted that she cared nothing for him
further than his money, as she was soft,
and lavished her affection on another
man in town at the same time she was
playing her game with him. Our in
formant further states that while Fessler
was here as candidate, he was bled in a
most scandalous manner by some of the
political leeches and deadbeats. Besides
he deposited about ST 200 at another place
on very short notice.
''Harry Horton left here soon after the
State convention in question, and it is
stated that she has been frequently visit
ed since by Fessler at Cleveland and 9TH
er points. About the same time Fessler
disappeared with the funds of the county
the woman came back here on visit, re-
naming few days. 1t is stated that DUR
ing her recent stay she proposed to pur-
chase property, and in order to show her
: good intentions about the matter, see dis
played to an old colOred lady, who doubt
ed her financial ability, large rolls of bills
which she seemingly had no other present
use for, except to supply the deficiencies
in form about her person.
ttAll the above information, as before
5 stated, comes through parties who appear
to be we'll posted and the reader will be
. able to form his own conclusions as tC
how much the extravaganza of Harry
t Horton had to do with the Stark County
: defalcation.''

Jay Gould has been out West lately, and
this is what the Chicago Tribune says he
has done:
''Then enters Jay Gould. He has OBJ
tanned controlling possession of the Union
Pacific, and the Atchison & Topeka route,
from st. Louis to Denver, and thence by
the Union Pacific to Ogden. He has also
obtained control of the Chicago & Rock
Island, and is able to enforce pooling ar
rangements with the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy and the Chicago & Northwest
ern roads. He has practically abandoned
all the country east of Chicago, and has
possession and control of the transporta-
tion of all west from Chicago to Salt Lake.
The third link in the chain of consolida-
ton is that of Huntington, Stanford and
Crocker, who own the Central Pacific and
control all the railways west of Salt Lake
and in the State of California, extending
down to the Mexican line.''
