width together; multiply this product
by four for shelled bushels Of corn,
and by eight for wheat, thus-l6 feet
H5 feet S8feet=640 feet S4=256O=256

An exchange thus conbats with considera-

are cheaper and better than the country pa
pers because they give more columns of read
ing for the money. Do the city papers, IL
asks, ever give you any home newsp Never.
Do they ever say anything in regard to your
own county? Nothing. Do they contain no.
tices Of your schools, churches, meetings, i'm
provements, and hundreds of other local mat
ters of interest, which our papers publish

say word calculated to draw attention 10
your county and Its numerous thriving towns.
and aid in their progress and enterprise
Not word. And yet there are men who take
such contracted views of the matter in their
Nown paper as they do in a city paper, they
think they are not getting the worth Of thsil
money. It reminds us of q person who took
the largest pair Of boots in the boz because
they cost the same as pair much smaller
