The proof of the pudding is In the
eating, not in chewing the string, and
the threshing machine report Of the
wheat yield in many places does not
strongly corrqbprate the brag stories
of many of our contemporaries We
had concluded this seetian would be
vastly worse off than almost any other
and especially the" Jim"rives and Red
river valleys, but later developments
do not look that way. The Dakota
wheat crop yield issmuch less this year
than it was last according to
best accounts and the Min.
nesota crop will be much smaller than
before for some years. Possibly the
cry of .'monster crop'' everywhere
else but at home, has been made for
the purpose of" bearing'' dawn the
market so that the Miller's Associa-
ton can get the crop for halfits value,
the same as they did last year. We
fully believe that is the game and that
if the farmers will hold their wheat,
(not wheat tickets) until the trap Is
sprung, they will make money by the
venture.-Montevidao Leader.

To the Public

There seems to be an idea prevalent
that the personal Memoirs of U. S.
Grant" like most other subscription
books will be lnstock of bookstores as
soon as the active canvass has ceased,
and therefore obtainable at much re-
duced price. We publish below a
statement, made from the contract of
the publishers with Gen. Grant.
1t will be sold ExclHslye!y by sub
scription and will not be found at the
bookstores after the active canvass
has closed, Us in the case with many
subscriptions hooks. Extraordinary
precantian ia being taken to keep this
book out of the book-tradn ,u;t !.
marks are placed =. ~ each COW iif and
any ~gent detected in supplying the
first volume to the bookstores will be
at once discharged, and prosecuted
under his contract; and the second
volume will be delivered to the bona
fide subscribers by special deliveries
appointed by us. Some unprincipled
booksellers, who cannot obtain the
work, are advertising it for sale and
at reduced price, thus attempting to
rob General Grant of portion of his

This is simply mlschievous and inten-
ded to imbarrass our agents and the
subscription trade. In the end it can
result in no profit TO them Other
scheming publishers are advertising
works whose titles are so ingeniously
arranged as to resemble Gen. Grants
Memoirs, purposely withholding the
authors name, and IN various ways
initiating that work with the evident
intention of deceiying the public anG

Laws are being enacted In nearly
all the States for the protection Of the
dairymen, but there seem to be flaws
that permit of such laws being de-
clared unconstitutional. In this free
country no state has the power to
prevent one from manufacturing boz
gus butter. We make articles for
sale from arsenic, strychRiRa and
other deadly polaals. Hut the law
can prevent one from selling arsenic
as sugar, or strychnine as salt, conse-
quently it can prevent bogus butter
manufacturer from selling his imita-
ton as genuine butter. Bottles Of
poison are conspicuously labled under
the law, and 40 4ne doubts its eonsti-
tutipnality, and hence the legislatures
have the power to compel o label to
be placed on all articles-evep pure
butter itself. There ia another red
ress, WHICH Is to arrest as a swindler
any one selling butterinc as butter.
Any person can walk into store and
ask for butter. All tie buyer has to
do Is to have it examined, and if he
has not received what lie paid for the
seller has swindled him, and can be
punished under existing laws.

Grass Ten Feet High.

Mr.. E. A. Collins has sent to this
office some specimens of johnson
Grass" raised on his farm near town,
which is the tallest we ever saw.
This grass is very popular in some
sections of country, but is new here,
abouts. 1t was sown last April on
three acres, with an underneath of
red top, blue grass, timothy and red
clover, for grazing purposes. 1t is
claimed that it can be moved from
four to six times a year, yielding from
eight to ten tons per acre. The stalks
before US are ten feet high and the
heads are over one foot long. Mr..
Collins is pleased with his experiment
so far. He is also going to SOW some
Texas blue grass this fall as an expe,
riment. Mr.. q. is fast developing
himself into firstoclass farmer, and
he has the brain, money, nerve and
energy to experiment largely with
new fruits, grasses and stock-so far
very successfully. He has a large
farm near town, which he is rapidly
seeding down to grass, for grazing
purposes, and no doubt he will soon
have the finest stock farm in West
| Tennessee.
