WHEAT GRADES AND PR1ons.
New inspection Rules at D~uluth-Prioes
and Grades Fixed at winoas.


SOUTH.
At a meeting of grain operators, held in HUFF
hotel, in Winona, on Monday, all dealers on
the Winona g. St Peter, Southern Minnesota
and the River division of the Chicago, Milw au-
kee d st. a railroad, were represented. II
was determined to adopt the Minneapolis
standard prices on hard wheat, and the Chica-
go standard Of prices on soft varities of wheat,
barley and seeds. The fact was brought out
that there is no smut in hard wheat this year
1t was decided to make the price of hard wheat
five cente per bushel more than No. l soft
wheat. The following grades wore established
for wheat and barley:
No. l hard wheat must be Scotch Fife.
No. l regular wheat may be hard and soft
wheat mixed, weighing tifty-eight pounds, and
must be reasonably clean.
No 2 consists Of the best varieties of soft
wheat.
No. 3 consists of soft wheat containing more
or less smut.
No. 1 barley must DO free from stain, sound,
plump and free from other grain.
No. charley may be slightly stained, but must
be sound, plump and free from other grain.
No. 3 barley may be considerably stained, but
sound, plump and reasonably free from other
grain.
No. 4 barley must be sound and healthy, but
may be deeply stained, and may contain more
or less oats.
Following i the substances of the inspection
rules at Duluth:
No. I Hard Spring Wheat-Must be sound,
we'll cleaned and weigh not less than So pounds
to the measured bushel, and be composed most
ly of Scotch Fife wheat
No. l Northern Spring-Be sound, we'll
cleaned, weighing not less than IS pounds to the
bushel and be composed Of hard and soft va
%rieties.
No. l Spring-Be sound, vol cleaned and
weigh SIS pounds to the bushel.
No. 2 Hard Spring-Be oun and reason
ably clean, composed mostly Of Scotch Fife
wheat and weigh SIS pounds to the bushel.
No. 2 Northern spring-Be sound, reasonably
bushel and be composed of hard and soft varie-
ties of wheat.
No. 2Spring-Be sound and reasonably clean
and weigh So lbs to the bushel.
No. 3 Spring-Comprises al wheat fit for
weighing not less than 81 lbs to the bushel.
Rejected Spring-Comprises all wheat fit for
arehousing but too low in weight or other
wise for No. 3. All wheat slightly damp will

wheat in heating. condition, or too damp be
considered safe for warehousing, or has any
considerable admixture of foreign grain or
seeds or badly bin-hurt, whatever grade it
might otherwise be, is pronounced ''con-
demned," with inspectors notions as to quality
and condition. Rice wheat will in no case be
inspected higher than rejected. Wheat con-
tanning any mixture, however light, of rice
wheat sometimes termed goose wheat, or ''Cal-
ifornia"), shall be graded rejected however
high it might otherwise grade. No. l and No.
Northern spring are new grades here. No. l
and No. 2 hard rules are closer drawn than
before. There is no change in winter wheat
rules.

The number of arrivals during the
year ending with June 80 was 500, 1874,
which is S2,490 less than during the
preceding year, and 26O 1856 less than
during the year ending with June, 1882,
in which the tide reached high-water
mark. Though immigration continues
to fall off, the newcomers ore sufficient
in number for healthy assimilation with
u people and institutions. An excess
is quite as much to be deplored as a
suspension of immigration for q brief
period.

The last spike Of the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific Railways was driv-
en- at Ogden, Utah, only fifteen years
ago on the 10Th of last May, and the
railway mileage Of the United States
was then less than $4,000 miles, where
as Poor's Manual for 1888 tly is
sued, gives the mileage at the end of
that year as 120,552 miles. The vast
ness of the railway traffic is expressed
in the statement that in addition to
312, ,641 passengers, the roads car
ried 4O0, 453, 439 tons Of freight, or eight
tons per capita of population, at On av-
erage rate of only 1.24 cents per ton,

The agricultural departments latest
estimate of the wheat crop to the first
of the present month is given as 1885,
600 900 bushels. The average is esti-
mated at 81, 600, 900 to 3s, 900, 900. At
Is bushels to the acre this would give a
crop of 494, 900, 900. But in reality the
highest average of late years was N
1879, which was 10. OS bushels; while the
lowest was 10.10 bushels in 1881. Last
year the average was III bushels. If
the average this year be 1911 bushels, it
would make the crop of 1884 475, O0O,-
600 or 1856, 000, 600 bushels, which would
be o fair crop. The trouble, however,
is that the crop is not so remunerative
to the farmer by nearly 300, 900 900 as
that of last year on account of low prices,
and it is this last fact that promises to I'M
favorably affect the business and gener-
oil Industries of the country.

Diet for Athletes.

In DR.. Sareents recent lecture on
'What Shall We Eat to Get Strong?"
he said in the course OF h's remarks
1t has been customary to train athletes
on lean beef and mutton, hut he
thought this mista! e as tissuemaki ing
food should he used in combination
with these. and the Diet should be SO
changed rs to meet the requirements Of
the org anism of the erson using it, for
to establish one diet for all persons was
ridiculous. Beef alone is not super or
to meal, beans, or other farinaceous
food, and the size Of the mu,e'es of a
man is not indicative of his strength
Farinaceous food tones man down,
and will tend to give him more endur-
ance. A man who can strike blow
equal to 400 pounds would be called q
strong man, but this strength cannot be
kept up for any length of time on
animal food, as it comes from tine base
OF the brain. and endurance must be
sought for in other kinds OF food.
To reduce the weight of a man in
training, lean meats may do. but when
he is down in weight he must go back
to food containing more carbon. such as
ham and sausages, which should always
be eaten cold. Three years ago this
would have been considered ridiculous
by trainers, but for diet for running.
walking, and rowing it has been found
that saccharine food, with beef or NUT
ton, is the best; tea, coffee and alcohol,
as we'll as condiments, are objection
able; indeed, it is not the quantity Of
food person eats that strengthens
him. but the amount assimilated and
worked into the organism.

women in jail; / found three white
women in Jail. If justice is alminis-
tered fairly, and hear no question on
this score, this is bad showing for the
blacks to begin with. | tried to find
out what had been the educational adj
vantages Of the prisoners; and so far as

white women could read and write,

but not the worst by great deal. In
