was speaking of this farm to "a threshing
machine man, and he said he would like to
get he job of doing the thrcshing for such Il
farm, and this led me to do some figuring to
Try and get realizing sense of how much
$4,000 bushels, and 100000 bush, Is of wheat
are. We all have pretty good idea Of how
much 100 or 1000 bushels is, but when il
gets up int, these big figures we must get some
Other way OF realizing quantity than by figures
alone
500 bushels of wheat is IA big days work for

sianc' :, and it would require $50 days at 800
bushels per day to thresh the lrese IT crop t

and 10 days for repairs etc, and allow even
800 working days to the year ii would take one
machine two years and 30 days at 500 bushels
per day, to thrcsh out the present crop. Prob
ally so bushels, or u tun and Il half, is fair
estimate for load of wheat, and AZ his rate it
would take $500 wagon loads to get this crop
to market!
This for $4,000 acres. But when we come

ling. Following the same estimates, u single
machine threshing 500 bushels day for 800
days in year, would consume 62s years in
thrcshing one crop, and To haul this to market
would require 10000 wagon loads at 80 bush

bushels of wheat is five miles from the market,
and some ambitious teamster takes Il contract
to haul it. lie ,ould make only two loads q
day, and would therefore (uslag one team con-
sumo 10000 days, or-allowng as before 300
working days in II ycal-j3lf, years! Or he
must employ about 81 teams to complete the
job IN one year.
Allowing 500 bushels TO car, 1000 freight

Whatever may be said of Ben. Butler rs
politician, he can talk good, sound sense to 4
gathering of cheesemongcrS and farmers lie
Gently he attended meeting Of the Nationa
Dairy Association in New York, when, being
called upon for IL speech, he is thus reported
lie began by saying that we spent more to
butter than for bread, and he reminded his
hearers that the butter and cheese product oil
the United States was, in 1876 one-Scventll
greater in value than our wheat ana one.thrd
larger than our cotton product.
Then, he said, he wished to say few words
upon what he regarded rs the urea, fault OF
our farming, and that is this, that our farms
are of too large extent and undergo too httle
cultivation. You remember, he said, at least
the older persons present will, when the Gen
essec Valley produced the grain for New York
and New England Then Ohio did it, then
Illinois, then Minnesota, and, ten years ago,
California, and literally upon Is gold basis.
But recently they have shipped many thou
SAM bushels OF grain around to New York
by way of Cape Horn, thence by canal boat to
the Genessec Valley, where it has been ground
into flour
Gen. Butler then read many statistics show
ing how largely France produces the fruits of
the soil, and how far ahead that country Is Of

rived thercirom. I'VE have the proud salts

that the farms are small The average French
farm is fifteen acres, while in Massachusetts
il is more than one hundred. The French
law requiring, after dover, an equal distribu-
ton OF lands to children, ire regarded as Il
very great blessing.
II the French can do well with small farms,
Gen. Butler thought our statesmen who had
charge of public lands and our farmers ought
to think of this matter If dairymen, how
ever, think that i: would not be possible for
them to carry on their industry upon smaller
farms, Gen. Butler said that he would simply
refer to the fact that France exported 10 En-
gland many million pounds more of butter
than We do.

REPUBLICANS BE V1G1LANT
nter-Ocean, 18th


The returns received yesterday from
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, are not so salts
factory as those of the day before The
Republicans have carried the state ticket
in Ohio and Iowa, but have lost in the
most vital place, and where it was of the
utmost consequence that they should
win. The danger to the country is in a
Democratic congress, and unless we shall
be saved by the November elections in
the North, or by combinations in the
Southern states, the dread evil is close
upon US. In Ohio we should have
achieved victory undoubtedly in the
congressional as well as the state can
vass, but for the shameful gerrymander-
ing of the districts by the Democratic
legislature, which has resulted in giving
them an unfair advantage
So far as learned, we lose three con-
gressmen in Ohio, three in Indiana, two
in Iowa, while the retention in the senate
of that arrant demagogue, Voorhees,, of
Indiana, is assured. The Republican
party must make a better record than
this in November To that end they
need to cast aside all vain boasting, all
idle chickering's, and, rolling up their
sleeves for the fight, work harder than
ever to win. The men who imagine
that the Democratic party is dead, or the
National party lifeless,. deceive them
selves and open the gates to surprise
which they cannot afford. Both of these
Organizations are fighting desperately in
this and the other November states, and
will continue to fight without cessation
until the polls shall be closed. Repub-
licans must be equally active and equal
ly vigilant, or they will have cause to
rue it. Whoever attempts to make them
believe that the race is easy and the vic
tory sure, is dangerous counselor and
not to be trusted. Let Republicans mark
this and take warning.

A NICE LEADER.

AS a specimen of heightened, chris.
ttan journalism, the last number of the
"Greenbacker," published in this city,
the home organ of the Req. d. p. Mitch
ell, purity candidate for governor, pub
lished by the Rec. J. Spangler, excites
wonder. 1t is only necessary for us to
state to this public that the paper was
edited principally, last week, by Sam
Wood, who has been branded from one
end of the country to the other, as a per
jurer, thief and scoundrel. OF course
he did not sign his name to the articles.
1t has been proven to the satisfaction OF
all that he in one transaction stole $10,-
600 from school district in Rice coun-
ty. When caught in the theft he simply
grinned with his dirty face. His whole
life in Kansas is a libel ON humanity.
Now we submit to the voters of Lyon
county that it is q pretty business for
these reverend gentlemen to be engaged
in, to send to Chase county to procure
the services of such a character to edit a
paper which processes to expose rascali-
ty, impurity in politics and advocates
high morality. The object of the thief,
whose tricks are well known here, was
to detract from the short comings of
some. of the reform candidates which
the honest party is running for Office
to detract from the effect of the expo
sures of the hypOcritical pretensions
some of its leaders are making. We are
glad THE NEWS is making such ser
penis as the Shiny Wood writhe. We are
doing good when we expose a party
which makes such loud pretension of
honesty, and has such men as he for
leaders. Do the people of Lyon county
want the assistance of such a man to
run their politics? They should teach
the reverend gentlemen that when they
invite public thief here to write up
their paper, they are doing something
which decent people do not endorse. 1t
is sad comment indeed on the straits
to which they are put to manufacture
capital for their party. In most localities
the fiatists deny that Wood belongs to
their party, but the Req. Spangler puts
him forward in his paper as pink of
leadership.

We heard friend say the other day,
who has been a Republican for twenty
years, and who was worth at least five
thousand dollars, that he was rather in
clined to advocate the fiat doctrine. We
asked him why. He said the great bur
den of the public debt was running the
working man. We asked him how
much government tax any working man
in Lyon county was paying outside of
the consumers of tobacco and whisky.
He did not know. He had heard some
of the politicians who are endeavoring
to SOW discomfort among the people
moaning about the burdens of the labor
ing man. He had not thought much about
it himself. Then we asked him, he be-
ing a man in good circumstances, how
much money had gone from his pocket
during the last twelve months into the
national treasury, in the shape of taxes,
more than he paid in the twelve months
before the war. He hesitated, and then
replied thathe had neUer figured ID closely!
