An Odd Use tor Wheat.

Very few of the farmers boys and
girls in Illinois know how little cash
could be got for wheat in their State
forty-five years ago, says the Farm,
Field and StockmG7a. In those days,
"trade" or BARTER" was about all o
farmer could get for his grain, even at
the small prices at which he was obliged
to sell. Speaking of this the other
day, an old gentleman who was an in
terested party handed us the copy of
an agreement made some years ago,
in what was then Stark County, Hi
nois, thirty miles from Peoria. If some
of the school "miss's" of to-day were
paid in wheat instead of "orders," it
would require larger handbags" than
they would wish to carry.
