/" Patent" TInul.

Patent -four is made from hard spring wheat.
1t has not been long since the best flour was
made from winter wheat; or, rather, the flour
made from winter wheat sold for the most
money because 1t was white. But it consisted
tor the most part Of the starch Of the gram,
while the most OF the gluten 0he most nutri
tious part Of the grain, went into the md
dlings. In grinding spring wheat, so much
bran remained in the -four that 1t was too dark
to suit the taste Of consumers But the mid
dlings, which sold at a low price, have become
the most desirable part Of the grain. Md
dlings purtiers-by which the bran Is separ-
ated from the middlings--havc made rcvOlu.
ton 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 di
reCted to obtaining the most middlings posi-
bic, and these are placed upon large horizon
tai Sieves which are constantly agitated, while
at the same time, 10y ingenious devices, a draft
of air is rushed up through the sieve and car
ries Oft the bran The purified mlddlings are
then re-ground, and the product is patent"
flour, containing the glutnous or most nutri-
tious portion of the grain. Thus 1t is explain
ed why the hard spring wheats of Minnesota,
Northern Wisconsin and Dakota bring the
highest price in the market, whereas, only n
few years ago they commanded only the low
est price.

PRESERVING TIMBER IN GRoUND.-In
speaking of the well known methods of pre-,
serving posts and wood which are partly en-
bedded IN the earth, by charring and coating
with tar, it is said these methods are only eff
fective when both are applied. Should the
poles only be charred without the subsequent
treatment with tar, the charcoal formation on
the surface would only act as an absorber of
the moisture, and, if anything, only hasten the
decay. BY applying coating Of tar without
previously charring, the tar would only torn
casing about the wood, nor would it pene-
trate to the depth which the absorbing prop
critics of the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that Is exposed to the action of water or
let into the ground should first be charrcd and
then, before it has entirely cooled, be treated
with tar till the wood is thoroughly Imprcg
mated. The acetic acid and oils contained in
the tar are evapOrated by the heat, and only
the resin left behind, which penetratcs the
pores of the wood and forms an alright and
waterproof envelope. 1t is important TO III
pregnate the pole little above the line Of eX-
posture, tor here ii is that the action of decay
affects the wood first and where the break al
ways occurs when removed from the earth or
strained III testing.

recognize them after partial change OF

Judge Hoadley, Of Cincinnati, who

Democratic Headquarters last night and
was asked his opinion Of the political
contest in Ohio. He said: The con-
test is one of the closest have ever

years ago but gained Others from our
opponents. Among the mass of voters

remains to be done. We will strain

Simply Unassailable.

The Philadelphia North American
the oldest Daily in the United States, and
always Republican since the formation
of the Republican party-administers
this advice to Republicans who have
thought it their party duty to disparage
General Hancock:
Republicans are very foolish who try
to make capital for their party by as
sailing the character of General Han
cock. They do more harm than good
all the time. They are friends of the
bird from whom all intelligent RepubIl-
cans will pray to be saved. A good
many foolish things have been said
about General Hsncock's letter to Gen
eral Sherman in the winter of 1876 -
Now that the full text of that letter has
been published, exactly how foolish
those things were is apparent. Jealous
but indiscreet adherents of Garfield and
Arthur cannot be impressed too strong
ly. with the fact that General HancocE's
record is simply unassailable. They waste
powder and shot when they train their
batteries against it."

EOf course the election of Han
cock means clean sweep in all the Off
ces of the country.-Ohio State Jour
nal.
So the struggle is reduced to one be-
tween the office-holders and the people.
The office-holders are holding on like
grim death, wanting to be let alone; the
people want change. This contest will
decide who is master, the 100, 900 Office
holders or the 100000 voters.

The following extract from. what pur-
ports to be speech recently delivered
by Senator Wade Hampton At S.aun-
ton, Va, has been copied into many
public journals, and is displayed con-
spicuously from day to day by some OF
the more reckless organs:
"Consider what Lee and Jackson
would do we're they alive. These are
the same principles for which they fought
for four years Remember the men who
poured forth their life Hood on Virginia
soil, and do not abandon them now
Remember that upon your vote depends
the success of the Democratic ticket"
Senator Hampton did deliver speech
at Staunton lately, but it contained no
such sentences nor anything like the
foregoing. His attention having been
called to the false report, be promptly
denied it and publicly repudiated the
sentiment,
Another extract purporting to be from
a speech delivered in South Carolina by
Senator Butler, proves to have been fab
ricated out of the whole cloth; but the
organs keep it standing in their columns
from day to day, without attempting to
inquire whether they are truthfully or
falsely representing the speaker. An
other extract from an anonymous
speech, pnrporting to have been deliver
ed somewhere in Alabama, declaring
that ''the Confederacy still exists" is
honored by the organs with repeated
publications; but it is so palpably false
that even the few readers of party or.
gans won't he likely to give it import
ance The campaign idiots who run
riot in the columns of organs, seem to
assume that we are nation of political
idiots and that the common sense and
intelligence Of the people may be af-
fronted with impunity in all partisan
contests.
