Wheat and Cheat.

LADuE, No., Aug. y, 18S9-Edi,>
or Republican, In your issue of Au>
gust 8, III. g." of Jefferson county,
and Zone who knows whereof he
speaks" evidently have settled the
wheat and cheat question; may be they
have. We are neither botanists nor
cyclists, but will the gentlemen plea, Q
rise and explain? We have been rails
ing wheat extensively for the past fit>
teen years in one of the best wheat
districts in the State of Missouri, and
here are two examples that have come
directly under our observation, proving
without a doubt that wheat will turn
to cheat.
We had two fields of wheat sown
out of the same garner, one was sod
land, never having had any crop on it
before, the other has been under culti-
walton for a number of years. During
the fall the Persian fly got into the sod
wheat and injured it, but did not kill
the stalk. In the spring the wheat
looked well, but at harvest it was ST.
nearly all cheat that it was not worth
cutting. The other field scarcely had
head of cheat and made large
yield, so it is evident that we did moi
SOW the cheat.
Last fall while drilling l spilled a
sack of wheat in the field. 1t came up
very thick and at harvest there was
not single head of wheat in it, it ali
being cheat, while the balance Of the
field was almost entirely free from
cheat. Now if these are not two good
examples OF where wheat turned tt
cheat, | would like to know the reason
and if they do not sufficiently satisf,
the minds of Messrs. III. g." and"On,
who knows whereof he speaks"
could give them more just as gooc
reasons or examples.

The Lottery Cases.

Chicago News.
Postmaster-Genera Gresham propos.
es new move against the lottery
swindles. Under a United States law
it is provided that: "No letter or cir
cular concerning lotteries shall be car
ried in the mail. Any person who
shall knowingly deposit or send any
thing to be conveyed by mail in viola
ton of this section shall be punishable
by fine of not more than $500 nor
less than 500, with costs of prosecu-
tion," Gen. Gresham believes the
time has come when it should be
demonstrated that the federal statues
forbid any correspondence of any kind
regarding lotteries. 1t is probable
that if the purchaser of lottery
ticket is to be held to the punish
ment provided by the statue, he viii
hesitate about mailing his order for
ticket.

The question asked was not "Will
it pay me to invest in Jerseys at present
prices and rely solely on the returns in
milk and butter for profit? 2" but simply
"Will it pay me to invest in Jerseys at
present prices?"
Now, you will see there is quite a
difference in the question asked and the
way you present it and proceed to ans
wer it. have beef running dairy
Of from fifteen to twenty-five COWS for
twenty-five years and know from ex-
perience the value Of thoroughbred and
high graded cows, and if had to com"
mence the dairy business anew would
rather pay 5000 per head for pure Jer-
seys of good families than receive the
best common COWS as a present. The
calves from we'll selected COWS aud a
No. bull, all of solid color, will aver
age 500 each, and they can be sold
for that sum before they are three
months old. Now, this sum is more
than the majority of dairymen realize
per COW during the year. know you
will admit the amount of butter will be
80 per cent greater during the year
and the amount of feed will not be so
much as that consumed by the common
cows, while the price of butter will
be 20 per cent higher. l have been
breeding from imported and thorough
bred bulls for over twenty years until
| have almost removed the common
blood, but still the faint remains and
the heifers l now sell for S75 and 500,
would bring me double that sum if
they were registered animals.
No dairyman can successfully prose
cute his business when ten miles from
a city or large town and rely alone on
the proceeds from butter even at 40
cents per pound, and thegreat majority
of those who have commenced the
business with common cows have given
it up in few years as Improbable.
Had they commenced with pure bred
Jerseys the profits on the calves and
butter would have enabled them tC
have successfully carried on the busl
ness. The calves from high grade
Jerseys will average $40, which is ar
item to the dairyman. There are few
men who can afford to wait the year;
required to grade up to a point thai
will enable him to realize for his calves
the amount necessary to make hi
business pay.
To-day you cannot buy for 500 {

Cheat Again.
DARLINGTON.

WAvERLY, Mo-, August u, 1888
Editor Republican: have noticed
lately in your paper several articles on
the subject of cheat, as it is called
that wheat never does turn to cheat.
Certainly those gentlemen must be
very short-sighted as not to know it
does under certain circumstances where
the ground is too wet, which is unfavor-
able to its development and thereby
produces different growth. Doubtless
those chemical elements that are necess-
airy to produce wheat are lost or
changed.
Now for the proof. | sowed ten
acres of wheat broadcast on new land,
and runninA across the land was a swag
containing about one quarter of an acre.
The swag, when | broke up, was very
dry and mellow, and | sowed from the
same wheat the whole ten acres. II
came up we'll and grew off finely
The winter was cold and the spring was
wet, cold late in the spring. On the
dry land | raised fine crop of whea
with not one straw of cheat, and OF
the swag there was not one straw o
wheat but heavy crop of cheat.

Guiteau was FIVE feet nire or ten inches ;
the skeleton corresponds with those
figures. The purpose of putting
other skeletons in the case was
doubtless to prevent suspicion.
