A ADYERTISING PAYS 1t

ADVERTISING PAYS-It Is sometimes
questioned by merchants whether adveltis-
ing pays. The question hardly bear dis
cussion in the light Of the following facts
rates for transient advertisements being
figured. The Chicago Irtbune, it is said
for colum year receives 500, 600. The
New York HeroH receives for its lowest
priced column S39, 723, and for its highest
$34?, 900. The New York Trib,ne, for its
lowest S29764, and for its highest, $50, 64s,

''PATENT fLOUR.-N Ill you explain
what patent" -four ist
Patent flour is made from hard spring
wheat. 1t has not been long since .he best
-four was made from winter wheat; or,
rather the tlou- made from winter wheat
sold for the most money because i, was
white But Ii consisted for the most part
of the starch Of the grain, while the most of
the gluten, (the most nutritious part of the
grain1 went into the middhngS. In grin
ding spring wheat, 50 much bran rtmlined
d the flour that l. was too dark to suit the
taste of consumers. But the middlings
which sold at low price-has become the
most desirable part Of the grain. Mlddhngs
puritiers-by which the bran is separated
from the mid llngs-haye made revolution
in the business of milling. The best flour
is obtained from what was once the refuse.
By the new process the wheat is ground as
before, except that the efforts OF the miller
are directed to obtaining the most mid
dlngs possible and these are placed upon
large horizontal sieves which are constantly
a0Itated while, at the same times by inge
nious devices IL draft OF air is rushed up
through the selves which carries Oft The
bran The purified middlinos are then re-
ground. and the product is patent flour,
containing the glutenous, or most nutritious
portion of the grain. Thus it is explained
why the hard spring wheats Of Minnesota,
northern Wisconsin and Dakota. bring he
highest price in the market, where's cn'y
few years ago they commanded only The
Lowest price.
