TINE CONSUMPTION or wnEAr
How Much Wheat 1t Takes to Make a
Barrel of Flour.

How Much Wheat 1t Takes to Make a
Barrel of Flour.
American Agricnlturist.
For long time it has been generally
believed that approximately four and
one-half bushels of wheat are used 10
making barrel of flour. With the in
creased demand for fairly good wheat
for feeding live stock, and the possibility
OF an important cutting down of visible
and invisible stocks, many people have
insisted that millers are using all the
way from five to six bushels in the
manufacture of barrel of flour. This,
OF course, means, that considerable
part OF the product as it goes through
the rolls is run out for feed.
The claim has been made and sub.
stantiated that millers can get relatively
better prices for much Of their bakers
and low grades in disposing of it in
TINS manner. The testimony Of leading
flour manufacturers is at variance on
this question. The largest manufactur-
ing concern in tho world, located at
Minneapolis, reports that while ordi.
narily four and one-third to four and
one-half bushels of wheat are used to
make a barrel of flour, the present low
prices of wheat and wheat otfal make
these to-day tao cheapest animal foods
in the country. That in consequence of
this it is safe to say many millers are
using over five bushels of wheat to a
barrel of -four. 1t really makes no diff
ference how much wheat they use, as
the oiial is worth practically as much
as the wheat costs. Some of the millers,
especially in the winter wheat districts,
do not think the extra bushei of wheat
could be thus utilized without cost, vet
the burden Of evidence 10 toward the
increased consumption of wheat in this
manner. 1t is no doubt true that much
OF the talk has emanated from people
who are interested in seeing higher
prices for the grain, hoping that gen
eral belief in this augmented consump-
ton will result in at least temporary
speculative purchases of considerable
magnitude. If 10 to 20 per cent more
wheat Is used in the manufacture Of
flour it should interest farmers in two
ways. Primarily in the more rapid re-
duction Of burdensome wheat stocks,
which have been the bug bear for two
years, and further the possibility of Sc.
curing at relatively low prices needed
supplies Of mill feed.

The Republican candidate for gov.
ernor of Delaware is man who is iii.
tit to perform the duties of the lofty sta
ton to which he aspires. Joshua Marvil
is not man of broad intelligence, or of
even average culture. His best friends
would probably not claim such attain
ments for him. He has made money
from the patents he owns for making
peach baskets. limitations have not
been wanting that the methods he pur-
sued in securing those patents were not
OF the fairest. All that kind of talk has
been kept quiet during the campaign,
but was rife enough long before he was
nominated for governor. As we look al
him, it appears to US that his money
was the magnetic thing that made him
available for the Republican nomina-
ton. Senator Higgins was quoted MS
saying that "Joshua Marvil's old
breeches would draw more votes than
any other man suggested for the nominal
tion." Evidently, the Senator had in
mind what was in the breeches' pockets.
Is it possible that the Republicans mean
TO empty those pockets and yet leave
Maryil at home because of his unfitness
for the office of governor? That is
what the talk about trading him off for
their legislative ticket looks like.

Republican Legislature. That is one
OF the most serious aspects of the mixed
school question. If the Republicans
should win in Delaware and put the
negro children in the white schools here,
as they have done in every State they
have ever controlled, the people might
turn the Republicans out Of office, but
they could never turn the negro children
out of the white schools. Once the
evil decd is done, it can not, under the
Constitution, DO undone. White men,
who have race pride and arc conse-
quontly opposed to sending their chill
dren to the. same school with the chill.
dren of what they consider an inferior
race, can not afford to vote Republic
can ticket III Delaware. What is more,
they will not do it.

Bugs stop at the water Line.

Recently g lot of dry hides were being
taken out of warehouse in New York
and loaded on trucks, to be forwarded
to tanneries. Each hide was swept with
broom before being put on the truck.
and the pile Of sweepngs disclosed
myriads of beetles or hide bugs. As fast
as they were swept out they went back
in again, so that it kept man busy
with a broom keeping them out. They
kept this advance and retreat going
until another man, who evidently had
had experience, brought pail of water
and poured small stream across the
doorway. All the bugs gathered al the
edge of the water and ran up and down,
but would not venture TO cross. Neither
would they retreat, SO they were easily
killed.

The morning express on the Bangor

Between Island Falls and Crystal about

with the train not more than dozen
rods from him, he started down the
track. The train was moving at the
rate Of 40 miles an hour, but the moose
flew like the wind and kept his distance.
Inc passengers heard the warning blast
OF the whistle, and knew that something
was on the track, but not until the
train reached Crystal Station did they
learn that they had been racing with a

The mixed school argument has so
frightened the editors Of the Republican
State papers, that some Of them are now
warning their readers that mixed
schools will be one of the certain results
of a Democratic victory in this State.
The only way to avoid this evil, they
cry, is to electa Republican Legislature.
They point to the mixed school system
Of the Democratic State of New Jersey,
but neglect to add that it is the result of
legislation enacted at time when the
State was under Republican control. If
mixed schools ever prevail in Delaware,
it will never be as result of Demo-
cratic legislation. This is as sure as
anything can be in this world.

SEWING MACHINES.

There is a new era in the
Sewing Machine business. II
used to be that you paid three
times as much for Sewing
Machine as it was worth. One
third went for the Machine
and two-thirds to support an
agency system from which the
customer did not derive a frac-
ton of a cent Of benefit. And
you are still told that you
ought to tax yourself aety-
scS'en per cent to continue that
sham.
1t is similar to the long dis
cussion as to whether books
should be sold as merchandise
or by a false system that inn
posed fictitious values upon
retail buyers. That battle was
completely won for the public
as this will be.

FATHER SUES HIS son.
A Case in Which the st. Louis Browns
Appear.

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. ia suit
brought by Chris Won der Abe, presi-
dent of the st. Louis Browns, against
his son, who was treasurer of that or
ganization, and James A. Noonan, has
caused considerable comment.
In his petition Chris recites that on
May 81 he owed Eddie $6,722 and was
likely to want to borrow more in or
der to carry on his business. Ed
thought he ought to have security and
Chris conveyed to him a portion of
ground owned on st. Louis avenue
Later Chris wanted to borrow some
more money and Ed did not happen
to have it. but got it for him from de-
PENDANT Noonan, and the latter has
conveyed the property to him. Now
Chris says he is ready to pay Eddie all
he owes him and has asked for an ac-
counting, but Edward refuses to bring
in statement. Chris wants his con-
veyance to Ed and the conveyance
from Noonan to Ed set aside, it having
been understood that while these con-
yeyances were absolute in form, thew
were to be regarded only as a secur-
ity for the payment of the money ow-
ing by Chris to Ed. Among other re-
ports in circulation one was to the eff
feet that Ed Won der Abe had schemed
to bring about the complications in
his pas affairs in order that he might
isecure the possession of his large
building.
Eddie Won der Abe, speaking of the
suit. says:
I'm 1889 loaned my father $4,000 and
shortly afterward advanced him other
sums. making his total Indebtedness to
me S7.100. l tried to get a settlement
with him on many occasions and was
invariably put off with refusal On
May 20 1 purchased two of the double
houses in st. Louis avenue, in one of
which we reside, and paid for them.
I have my fathers receipt for the
amount he owed me, which was really
so much cash. and paid him the diff
ference in dough. On June Is the sec
ond deal was eonsummated and I did
not have sufficient ready money to
carry the deal alone and associated
James A. Noonan with me- Now pa,
for some reason, repents the bargain
and is endeavoring to have the deal
cancelled There is the whole thing in
la nutshell"
President Won der Abe made a state
ment today, in the course of which he
dwelt at length on the affairs of the
ST Louis Browns.
