FIELD. AND FIREsIGE.
Bread in a Barrel Of Flour.

Until quite recently fall wheat has always
been preferred for grinding into -four for
bread 1t grows the slowest. and is longest
on the ground, and the proportion Of glutes
is much greater than in wheat sowu i'll the
spring. 1t is altogether preferable in sourth-
ern climates, and the flour from it brings a
much higher price, while it is said to keep
sweet and FREQ from weevil much the longest.
Now come the Michigan milers, and tell
US that barrel, Gcighiug l96 pounds, of
tho starch spring wheat flour of Minnesota
and the north will make 270 to $50 pounds
of bread, while the winter wheat flour of
Michigan will net make more than 30 lbs.
Is this credible7 If so, is tho bread from
both equal nutritious and filling" as food
We should like to know what the expert
euccd aud able managers of the Prairie
Farmcr sag to this, which is certainly news
10 most Of US.
Can be true ? IF so, it ought to be
more generally known. 1t is quite probable
that Michigan winter wheat -four makes less
bread than southern Illinois winter wheat
-four when the climate is drer. While this
is noral way of testing -four, it is certainly
a correct one. These miIIers state that -four
made from choice Lancaster wheat yielded
33l younds of bread Flour made IRAN Wn,
bash river wheat yielded 3OS4 pounds of
bread for straight" and 3l01 pounds for
patent" process. Prairie Furmer.

Doing UP MEMS LINEN.-A husband

she stretches them the wrong way. Damp

Farm Life.

It is a common complaint that the farm
and farm life are not appreciated by our peo
pie. We long for the more elegant pursuits,
or the ways aud fashions of The town. But
tine farmer has the most sane and natural &C
supstiou, and ough. to find lie sweeter, is
less highly seasoned, than any other. LIo
strictly speaking, has a home. How
man take root and thrive without land? Ho
writes his history upon tie field. How ma
Ely ties, how many resources he has +; his
friendships with his cattle, his team, his dog,
his trees, tho satisfaction in his growing
crops, in his improved fields his intimacy
with nature, with bird and beast, and with
the quickeniog elemental forces; his co op-
orations with the cloud, the sun. the seasons,
heat, wind, rain and frost. Nothing will
take the various social distempers, which the
city and artificial life breed, out of man
like farming, like direct and loving contact
with the soul. 1t draws out tho poison
1t humbies him, teaches him patience and
reverence, and restores the proper tone to
his system.
Cling to the farm, make much of it, be-
stow your heart and brain upon it, so that it
will SAVIOR of you, and radicate your virtue
after your days work is done

IMMIGRATION.

the unparalleled business depression
that exists all over Europe, the tota
or partial failure OF crops in nearly
ell psrts OF the old world, and the
great abundance Of all the necessaries of
life in this country, are turning attention
to America a; the present time, as never be-
fore. And the immigration that ia now
coming TO this country does not consist of
merely those whom the vicissitudes Of pow.
erty or the terrors OF revolution have forced
from their homes. 1t is the yeomsnry OF
Englsnj, the smsll formers and renters, the
sturdy middle classes of which 40 much
strength and goodness have come, who now
feel strange warnings, and look with eager
syes, and have an abiding faith in Am.
,sica. These middle classes are the
true Saxon heart Of England. When,
therefore, We say that the thoughts OF
this class are interested in America, it Is
something worth knowing. The new immi-
grafton lie of the best class that has ever
sought this country. Some OF them may stop
cas-; Of the Mississippi, but the greater part
o. them will come 10 the new States of the
West, and the great reputation that Kan
sas has already none for herself as one of
tie greatest grain producing regions in the
world, will guarantee 10 us our full share,
but there Is no doubt that little iudicious
effort on cur part would bring TO US a good
many thousand who would otherwise 90
elsewhere. We should leave no stone I'm.
turned TO keep the advantages Of
Kansas before the world. Now is the time
to work. The people who are coming will

ELECTRIC Light.

II some recent statements may be &C.
cepted, Edison has at length succeeded in
making a very important discovery in The
matter of the electric light. This is nc
less than the ascertsinment of a method by
which the platinum wire employed may be
so consolidated that it is practically indie
struciible, and capable OF employment in
the incandescent light with the most salts
factory and economical results. 1t is
said that Edison made this discovery
by putting a piece of melted platinum
wire under the microscope, when
he perceived that it WA full Of minute
crack, which appeared to have been caused
by the escape Of air. He then heated wire
in vacuum very slowly and continuously,
aud as final result obtained wire which il
apparently free from all the defects which
chsrscteriz ed the old material and which
promises to supply the means of keeping
his new light burning Gd " tnitsun. 1t is
alleged that no formidable difficulty re-
mains, in fact, and that the Edison light is
practically an assured success. Whether
it will supplant the existing illuminants to
any considerable extent, ia of course a
question which experience alone can de-
termine

THE INVESTIGATION.

seen that the Charm IN Of the Commit,e,

pins BY ordering that the iuvestig alton o.
witnesses must proceed at once. Although
the COMMITTEES has been sitting for a week,
and the "memoriilis.s" have Had twenty
witnesses at hsnd, they have never been
ready TO pat any OF them on the s.snd-for
the simple reason that they know they
cant prove anything by any of the men
they have subfelaed. Their case hiss
nothing 10 res, upon, and never had. /,
has never been anythipg but conspiracy,
and the result Of it Is farce. Their policy
has been lying and buster, snd their game
blsckmail, but when they are forced TO
their proof they haven't any to bring for
ward. No wonder the members of the
committee, in common with everybody else
feel disgusted with the whole thing.

THE FARCE.

The movement against Ingalls, by Stun
baugh Il Co. is such ridiculous farce that
some OF those most active in getting il ~
have become ashamed of it, and admit tina,
1t doesn't amount 10 anything. No public
man in this country was eyer beset by a
dirtier or more worthless set of scoundrels
than those who have been engaged in this
abortive attempt TO injure the reputation
and influence of Senator Ingalls,.
The supplemental charges brought before
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, on which this investigation was
ordered, m ade charges of bribery and Ger
ruption a. iinst ten certsin members of the
late Legislature, but though the committee
has now been in session q week, not a wit
mess has been produced nor a word of tea
tinony offered to sustain any of these
charges. Without such specific charges the
Investigation would not have been ordered,
and the result shows that the men who
made them know that they were false
The only matter Of surprise in the whole
affair Is that the Senate of the limited
States should have stopped to listen to the
groundless charges referred by character
less vsgabOnds and their uuscrupulous
hackers.
In our opinion the committee will SOON
be satisfed-if it is not already-that the
whole thing is an infamous conspiracy, and
will drop i; in disgust
1t is understood tina, the men who have
furnished the means TO carry the thing on
are S. c. Pomeroy, Geo. I. Anthony, and
Ben Simpson, who, being too cowardly to
fight Mr.. ingalls openly, seek in this way
to iriure him through the means CT the dis
reputable fellows they have employed IS
their tools. But il will react against them
and when the whole truth is known the
people Of Kansas will desrise them more
than ever.
