Well, why not? Perhaps the passibil-
tiles with gas have not all been dreamed
of yet. Perhaps in the future we can
utilize gas for defeating Jack Frost
when he comes to lock our fruit buds in
icy letters, thus destroying one Of our
most healthful articles of diet. If our
strawberry beds are threatened we can
save them with gas instead OF sitting up
at night to keep fires around them, or
making artificial clouds by burning
pitch. We will produce an artificial
climate so that seekers after health
need not be humbugged into going to
California or Florida. We will luxuriate
in peaches and semi-tropical fruits.
The labor of getting fuel for winter
fires, which consumes so much OF the

BOHEMIAN OATS SWINDLE.
The Western Rural Reports a
Blow Between the Eyes for the
Industry.

The Western Rnral Reports a
Blow Between the Eyes for the
Industry.
Two OF three years ago we received
some caustc letters from one or two
men in Michigan, because we denounced
the Bohemian oats Swindle, which has
certainly been one of the most persist
ent and impudent frauds ever perpe-
trated upon farmers. We did every
thing we could to prevent people
from patr0niZing the SWindle. We told
them that it was hoary-headed, moss
backed fraud, and said over and over
again that they could buy these oats of
any scotsman, if they wanted them, for
one-quarter what the Swindlers were
asking for them. But in the face of all
this, we received denunciatory let
ters from some of the victims.
We have never heard from them since,
however. None of them have written
us their experience. 1t is not the sort
of experience that man cares to relate.
The supreme court of Michigan has just
given the fraud blow squarely be-
tween the eyes. The case was that of
Mcnamara VS.. Gaggat. Gaggat bought
of A. A. Griffith, superintendent OF the
Lenawee, Clinton and GratiOt Bohemian
Oats association, twenty-five bushels of
oats, agreeing to pay SO per bushel for
them. He gave S125 in cash and note
for the balance. Griffith gave him the
associations bond, and agreed to sell
fifty bushels of the crop at $40 per
buShel on OF before Oct. q, 1856. Nc
Namara bought Gaggat's note for
it's face value and brought suit
against the maker for the amount
Defendant pleaded the general
issue and alleged fraud, etc. In the
circuit court Judge Hart ordered judg-
ment for the plaintiff for the note with
interest. Then the suit went to the SUI
preme court, which reverses the decis-
ion in favor of the defendant with the
costs of both courts. 1.-The opinion uses
the following words: The carrying out
of this obligation on the part of Griffith
meant the finding of another victim
within one year who would take fifty
bushels of Bohemian oats at $40 per
bushel upon giving to him contract to
sell for the next 100 bushels at $40 per
bushel, and so on ad infnitum. The
very scheme itself bears evidence
upon its face that it is a fraud
ningly devised that in the hands
men hundreds of the unWary have been
defrauded, and the courts should set
their seal of condemnation upon it and
pronounce it, as it is, a contract void on
the grounds OF public policy. 1t is upon
its face gambling contract. These
oats were worth no more than any other
oats, and could not be sold legitimately
for more. Had the note gone into the
hands of bona fide purchaser, who had
no notice of the consideration for which
it was given, the principles here laid
down would not apply. We have taken
the note and bond together as forming a
contract between the parties, and con-
structing them together as though writ
ten upon the same piece of paper land as
between the original parties and those
purchasing with notice, we hold such
contracts void"

Queen Victoria's Pearls.
Liverpool Mercury.

LlVerpOOl Mercury.
Some years ago her majesty bought
from well-known London pearl mer-
chant three beautiful pearls, the united
cost of which was not far short of $500.
Four hundred and eighty pounds is the
sum mentioned. They pleased royalty
greatly, and were paid for without Ide-
mur.A little while after the purchase Had
been made the merchant was surprised
to receive letter from a lady at court,
saying: ''The queen wants much to
know whether pearls will burn" The
reply to this somewhat startling Scien-
tific inquiry was an assurance that if
her majesty wished to OXygenize pearls
for her amusement she would find that
they would burn in an ordinary fire.
This rejoinder produced the secret.
The queen had placed the pearls
on her writing desk in a piece
Of the tissue paper which jewelers.
use. AS she was writing one morning
she used the tissue paper to wipe her
pen and threw it into the fire. The
pearls, all unobServed, went with it..
The ashes of the CRATE were searched
for them in vain. They had been de-
stroyed so utterly as to leave no track.
The queen, with her own hand, had
cast three splendid jewels, worth more
than the average income of her middle
class subjects, into the blaze. Pearls
have not since been kept OH the royal
writing table.

Straw Heaters.

In the regions where fuel is costly
and difficult to obtain straw burners are
coming into use largely. There are
some objections to the use of straw as
fuel in house stoves, but in furnaces it
is an excellent substitute for wood or
coal. An Iowa famer says:
II have furnace in my cellar that
burns nothing but refuse hay, flax
straw, corn stalks, etc., and warns the
entire house. 1t needs tending only
once in four or five hours and takes no
more time than to put a scuttle of coal
in common heating stove. Getting
the fuel takes much less time than pro-
curing wood. Enough fuel of this kind
goes to waste in new sections to warm
all the Inhabitants"

BETTER PRODUCTS NEEDED.
The Moody Enterprise Thinks
Dakota Farmers Need Better
Animals and Butter.

Dakota Farmers Need Better
Animals and Butter.
A farmers institute was held at Red
field, Dal., a few days ago. 1t is one OF
the first, if not the first, held In Dakota.
A series of resolutions were adopted
which were generally good, but show
that the real object of the institute was
lost sight of by the committee who pre-
pared them. Farmers must not depend
upon territorial legislation for prosper
ity. Our territorial laws need amend
ment in many respects, but it is even
more necessary for the prosperity OF
Dakota that the farmers improve their
methods of farming. A few years ago
Minnesota butter graded very low on
the market. Now, owing to the farmers
institutes and other causes OF improve
ment. it ranks high. Dakota butter
still has poor reputation in the market
and brings few cents pound less Oh
the market than Minnesota butter.
This is not necessarily so. we have
butter makers in Dakota and in Moody
county whose product brings top prices.
Dakota has more cows than Minnesota,
but they are poorer cows and the butter
is on the average much poorer. Inc
loss in this way is very great. This is
only one item. Dakota raises a great
many steers for market. They ought to
be good steers. We have plenty OF the
best of feed, but when they go to mar
ket they won't sell for as much as Mon
tana steers that never see a mOuthful OF
hay. The cause is simple. The Mon
tana steers are nearly all grades, the
Dakota steers are nearly all scrubs.
The statistics of the Chicago market
show that the cattle from some counties
in Illinois sell on the average for twice
as much per head as the cattle in some
of the other counties of that state.
While we want to see better laws in
Dakota, we are afraid that the farmers,
especially in some parts of the territory,
are inclined to think too much about
better laws and too little about better
farminp

wise their readers to write to congress
men urging the passage of the bill in

in reference to pleuro pneumonia. It
was drawn under the direction of the
live stock associations and is generally
supported by them. Some legislation
of this character is regarded as essen

ing this measure, but it is believed that
pressure enough can be brought to bear

Seed Wheat Sharks.

We understand company has been
organized in Aberdeen, OAK, for the
purpose of Introducing and selling a
new seed wheat. The scheme, says the
Farm, Stock and Home, is to sell the
wheat at So bushel and then contract
to buy back the crop from it next year
at 81 or more bushel! The sharpers
will take the farmers note and give in
exchange contract" which ostensi-
bly, binds them to take the wheat next
year at the stipulated price. The note
is negotiable, and will be sold to the
nearest money loaner. The contract is
worthless, and the farmer is left
The scheme will, of course, be worked
with notifications of this plan, but in
every instance the farmers signature
will be required to something-it prob
ably won't be called note-and when
that is obtained the sharper has won the
game. 1t is that bald-headed old Bo-
hemian oat swindle under another
name. We are informed the wheat
these parties are selling is round, soft
variety from Washington Territory,
which has no value in hard wheat mar
kets. Farmers of Dakota have no
money to be swindled out of, and we
hope her press will take this matter up
and so ventilate it that the sharpers'
harvest will be a barren one.
