Complaints arc common relative to
the grading and low price of wheat,
farmers make money by having their
wheat ground and selling tie -four, but
one like the following seldom comes to
our ears: Last week Mr.. W, II. Hail.
! EFT, WHO resides near Graham Likes.
brought 81 bushels and % lbs. of wheat
to the grist mill in this village, for
which he received 1850 lbs. flour, 800
| lbs. OF bran and 150 lbs. of mnllinys.
He had been offered 81 cents per b,shel
| for similar wheat ut Wort!!ington, but
decided to make the experiment. His
load of wheat, ut the price -four is sold
here-$2.75 per hundred-net'e e Him IL
profit Of $500 besides the bran and
middlings. Why do not more of our
farmers haYe their wheat ground and
sell the flour? II pays.-Currie Pio-
| neer.
Weare informed by other farmers of
this county besides Mr.. IIallett that
they are doing the same thing it'll sat
isfactory results. In some instances
they realized 20 to IS cents per busllel
for their wheat by this plan. We hope
that every farmer who can will adopt
this method and report the results to
lis for publication.
The town of Wortllington is sl,; IN
to its foundation over the liquor qu S.
tion by the unearthing of a secret Sit
loon in that burg, aud the citizens are
making it retl-llOt for the violaters of
their laws. Il. Il. Jones and NJ. J. Duff
ey, both recent sojourne:s in this place.
We have not space this week for the
particulars, but will publish them next
week for the benefit Of our own saloon
men, and others-Winncbago City
Press.
A new water tank has been erected
ut Worthington l'y the Railroad Conn
pany. and the old one WAS moved to
Window last Sunday. We understand
that the train carrying it, on arriving
ut the Window bridge, was DELAYED Il
good portion Of the day on account of
the bridge being too low to allow tie
tank passage, and the covering had to
be removed.-St, James Journal.
Large numbers Of Mobiles comfy
farmers have been at Hunters and
Skinner y 1Iostetter's mills this week
and we are informed that nanv more
