Then he ran into the house and cleared

house did NOT blow down, he emerged
from the cellar. A scene Of desolation
and ruin met his gaze. The first man he
met was. a man coated heavily with mud.

thirty cents more than market prios aud
took 1t To the western counties, where he
had previously obtained orders for it, aud
delivered it at s5 a bushel. IL is known ~
the Golden Russian wheat, is Of superior
quality, very prolific and large in the grain,
aud weighs several pounds more to the
bushel than ordinary wheat.
