cock, who shipped to st. Paul, two weeks

"The brass tester humbug has been found
out" by MIR. Suttle, a colored farmer, living
about six miles from Minneapolis, who took
in load of wheat and sold it to the ring as
No. 2, and he concluded that by running
what remained through the tanning mill he
could get MOL. He accordingly took load
of wheat from the same bin, cleaned it nice
ly and again appeared among the wheat
Shylocks. To his great disgust it graded No.
3 instead of No. 2, as the first uncleaned load
did. He took it back home and threw it in
with the screenings, declaring that if they
would not allow but No. they should have it
all. He will "react" next Tuesday.
"The brass tester humbug has been found
OUT by MIR. James A. Bull, of Richfeld,
Hennepin county, who took 16 bushels of No.
wheat to be ground. The testers made it
81 pounds, which brought it down to No. 8.
After the miller had taken out his one. tenth
for toll, Mr.. Bull had 80 pounds of flour to
the bushel, besides the bran and shorts. The
waste in the entire 16 bushels was but 70
pounds. The -four was worth three cents
per pound, which was equivalent to 80 cents
| for the wheat, and even that would be in
creased by the bran and shorts. The ring
would pay but GO cents per bushel for the
wheat. This experiment also proved that
six bushels of No. 3 make a barrel of -four.
He will "react'' next Tuesday.
'The brass tester hmbug has been found
out'' by 5. G. Anderson, of Glencoe, who
took to A. n. Reed & Co.'s warehouse forty
bushels of wheat, which the tester decided
was fourth grade. Mr.. Anderson received
IS cents per bushel. His load of wheat
amounted to $14. He paid ten cents. per
bushel for hauling, or 81, which, deducted
from the price paid for his wheat, left hin,
just $40. Mr.. Anderson went homo, took
forty bushels from the bin to the Hutchin-
son mill, and had it ground. The forty
bushels made 1880 pounds of flour, which
he sold to his neighbors at 215 cents per
pound, or $50, besides the bran and shorts,
which was worth three or four dollars more.
He will ''react' next Tuesday.

ing down what this wheat weighed, he tied
it up, noted carefully the figures. and sent it
away. In course OF time the tester came
back from Minneapolis, and not knowing
whether it was the old tester or new one,
he took the identical wheat he had weighed,
and which he had carefully put aside,
weighed it in the new or returned tester, and
the same wheat went two pounds lower than
the old! He will ssreact'' next Tuesday.
