Profits on Wheat.

The chronically low price Of wheat
is stirring up the farmers of the
Northwest to ascertain whether the
middlemen are not getting more than
aproper share Of profit for handling
il. On June LIST OF this year No.
hard wheat sold in Duluth at $57.8S
per hundred bushels. In Liverpool
the same wheat sold at 5000. Whois
benefited by the difference-Sf2.02-
between the Duluth and Liverpool
prices-a difference of a shade over
12i cents per bushels This question
has been answered by the st. Paul
PIONEER Press, which finds that the
transportation, elevator, insurance
and other charges which had to be
paid on the wheat before it reached
Liverpool amounted $11.S5 per 100
bushels. OF this, $7.55 was the cost
of freight and insurance, the remain
ing $5.4O being for elevator storage,
weighing, inspection, commission,
and other legitimate charges This
made the actual cost of 100 bushels,
laid down at Liverpool, amount to
$69.73. Deducting this from 5000,
the Liverpool selling price, and there
is but n cents profit, or only of a.
cent bushel which is not exorbi-
tant.
1t will be seen that the cost of
wheat eattransportationto Europe is as
tonishingly low. The time is well re-
by men in the grain trade
when the total cost of transportation
of bushel of wheat to Europe was
80 cents and over. Now it is reduced
to fraction over II cents. This
cheapening of the cost of freight and
handling should benefit the producer
to some extent. The inquiry should
now be pushed at the other end of
the line-between the farmer and
Duluth. 1t is clear there is no exor-
bitant profit to any sody between
Duluth and Liverpool. But is there
any excessive profit between the
farmer and DuluthY Is the producer
getting all that he should receive, af-
ter all reasonable expenses are paid
between himself and the European
market? Unless the buyers from the
farmer are getting too large a profit,
the situation is one that can notmend
until the world produces less as COM
pared with demand, than it is doing
Lo-dav.

Where are the Pension Liars.

How are the pension liars now. One
year ago one William Mckinley was
bowling on every available stump in
Ohio that that awful rebel, Hoke
Smith, was going to take away all the
soldiers pensions. And this bowling
was general, by all the big and little
howlers, and all thu lying Republican
newspapers. Now what does the rec
ord show2 The record for Ohio, just
completed at the Ohio pension agency
in Columbus, shows that at the begin
ming Of the present year there were
on the rolls Of the agency 9S,604 pen
sions. There are now 103,611 on the
rolls and the total amount paid by the
Ohio agency to veterans was $15, 382,-
1866. Need we comment more on
the pension liars. Was not the Pa
tsiot right when it said one year ago,
that not one worthy soldier would be
robbed of his pension by Democrat
ic administration Canton Democrat.

Bro. RUSSELL of the Signal filled
the Office of county auditor for three
years, yet he failed to do the very
thing which he is now accusing his
successor Of not doing-i e. Withhold
ing money from the townships on old
road improvements. The same
laws were in force when he was audi
tor as are in force to-day in Mr..
Resh's time, This being the case,
why did he not comply with the law
and do these things? For instance, if
the county owed the townships any
thing, why did he not have the
amounts certified back into the prop
er treasures? Echo answers, why2
Bro. Russell is making frantic efforts
to prejudice the people against the
present county auditor and board of
county commissioners, irregardless of
truth and good common sense, but so
far little attention is given him, which
fact hurts and he is simply losing his
head. He is aware that the Com
missioners and Auditor are trying
hard to right, and are righting, many
of his mistakes, shortcomings and ir-
regularities while he filed the audi
tors office. The people are with
these officials and against the ex-audi-
tor, and they are not to be diverted
by the windy rantings of Bro. Russell.

ADJUrANT GENERAL HOWE Is max
ing an effort to improve the equip
ment Of the o. n. g., and has address
eda letter to Congressman Cultivate,
chairman fthe committee on military
affairs, concerning the matter. The
general government has, locked up
in the armories, 100000 Springfield
rifles Of the best pattern and caiiber,
that will probably never be used,
but they decline to exchange them for
the old muskets now in the possession
OF the guard. Many Of the guns in
use by the Ohio soldiers are sixteen
years old and badly worn. The gen.
eral government will probably adopt
a more uniform gun than the Spring
field rifle, which would be a great i'm
provement If turned over to the
national guard of the country. In his
letter to Mr.. Cultivate the adjutant
general points out this condition of
affairs, refers to the back-number
gunsnowin the armories of the guard,
and requests the passage of a resolu-
tion by congress permitting or direct
ing the secretary of war to exchange
the Springfield rifles for the present
of the guard.

The Russian Thistle.

A gentleman who claims to have
known the kind of weed referred to
by the NORTHWEST as a Russian this
tie, for many years, declares it is not
the Russian thistle at all. He says
that the same weed has been in Henry
county for years and that the publi-
cation that we have the Russian this
tie, besides unnecessarily alarming
our citizens, will likely prove great
damage to our county unless it's infiu-
ence can be counteracted by giving
the real truth to the public. Signal.
There, there, Bro, keep your shirt
on; the NORTHWEST scooped you on
the thistle business, and that's what
worries you. But the gentleman re-
ferred to by the Signal don't know
what he is talking about when he
says the Russian thistle is not here
in all its glory. 1t is here, and has
been here for long time, but the
time has come to eradicate it, even If
the citizens have to be alarmed. !"
To alleviate this alarm the Signal
might have given the truth" had it
known other than what the NORTH
WEST had given on the subject, But
,, IT did not know and 1t simply played
the hypocrite. TO give our readers an
idea what the Russian thistle is we
Twill try and describe it. 1t is some
times called the prickly lettuce, in
fact it has a half-dozen names. II
looks like stock of domestic lettuce
that has gone to seed, and the leaves
have saw-toothed edges, which, when
broken off, bleed milkcolored fluid
exactly like milk weed. On the tor
| is a bunch OF seeds which, when ripe
take on fuzzy growth, like the seed
of the Canadian thistle, only much
smaller and these blow about te
propagate more dominion. The seed
is blown up in the air and carriet
along great distances. 1t flowers il

seeds, and in a very short time it viii

why olives Are Cheap.

"Do you know what makes picked
olives SO cheap" the furnisher Of de-
lectables said the other day. "You
wouldn't expect California olive
grower to get rich when his olives are
sold at little more than the cost of the
brine. I viii tell you secret-the trick
in the olive trade. Down in the Genesee
valley there are great fruit farms. There
is one grower who has 30 acres of plum
trees, 1000 Of them now bearing.
Each one yields three or four bushels Of
green plums. The plums are olive
shaped. They are picked when green,
sold to buyer who puts them in fancy
labeled bottles or in kegs, and they are
sold for olives. They SO much resemble
the genuine that no one but an epicure
can detect that they are not. Tricks in
all trades, aren't thereI' Buffalo

There is doctor connected with the
University of Buffalo who has a habit
Of saying, do you catch the idea?'' to
the young men who are in his charge
when he has made or tried to make a
point il his lectures at the quiz classes
Once he had-an odd case among his
private patients, and he invited a stu
dent to go with him to see it. The pa
tient was woman. Before entering the
room the doctor carefully explained tine
disease to the student and told him that
he had sent the woman some medicine
the night before which he was confident
would help her. He explained the COM
position of the medicine, told what par
ticular combination of drugs would BEN
eft this disease and then entered the
siclroom.
''How do you feel this morning, Mrs
K.?'' he asked.
'Oh, DOCTOR y replied the patient,
lyon have no idea how much better
feel. "
''There, young man." said the doc
tor, turning to the student, ''do you
catch the idea?'
"Yes, doctor" continued the sick
woman. II do feel very much better. "
"Took my medicine, suppose?"
queried the doctor.
"Well, no." replied the patient.
''You see, my husband was detained

Home and Abroad.

1t is the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure or
business, to equip himself with RENE
dies which will keep up strength and
prevent illness, and cure such ills as
are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance Hoods Sarsa-
parilla as a general tonic, and to keep
the blood pure and less liable to alb
sorb the germs Of disease, will be well
nigh invaluable. Change of drink,
water often causes serious trouble,
especially if one has been used to
spring water in the country. From a
few drops to a teaspoonful of Hoods
Sarsaparilla in a tumbler of water will
prevent the water having any injuri-
Gus effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as cathar-
tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb
ance, no loss of sleep, but assist the
digestive organs, SO that satisfactory
results are effected in perfectly
natural and regular manner.

Tho rc-l is received by tho wirc draw
Or in the form Of a coil, the rod being
Of varying section and tho coil Of

which it is intended Ono end OF the
rod is pointed and somewhat reduced
by machinery. Tho coil is then given
bath in mild acid TO remove ell oxida-
tion, afterward washed in limewater
10 give drawing surface and is finally
dried in proper oven When ready for
drawing, the pointed rod is inserted in
oneof the holes Of drawing plate. This
plate is generally of steel, but some fac
tories use cast iron. The drawing holes
are eonical. and the rod is inserted from
the larger end. On the other side Of the
plate the pointed end is seized by pow
er pinchers and pulled until enough has
been drawn through to allow of its be-
ing passed around and fastened to a
drum or reel which is driven by power.
OF course the rod is reduced in area and
much elongated, and this without any
perceptible loss of metal. While passing
through the plate it is kept fabricated
with what is called wire drawers soap
or grease. After being drawn through
this first hole it Is put through series
of smaller ones until it has been brought
down to the requisite size But the COM
preston and disturbance Of the structure
Of the rod consequent upon these reduc.
tions have hardened it SO much that at
certain stages it is necessary to stop the
process and soften the metal by anneal-
ing. After this it is again washed in
acid, ETC., and the drawing is resumed
Iron and the harder grades of steel re-
quire five or six annealings while being
reduced to the finer gauges of wire. But
the manufacture of soft steel and the
details of rolling it into rods have been
so perfected that soft steel rods can now
be drawn into fence wire without any
cleaning or annealing. After the final
drawing the wire is finished in various
ways, depending upon the purposes for
which it is intended.
No matter Of what metal the wire
may be composed, the same general sys-
tenn of drawing is used, varying more
or less according to the metal. Includ-
ing gold, silver, platinum, copper, ETC.,
the commercial sizes of wire run from
one-fourth inch to one-seven hundredth
inch in diameter. -Cassier's Magazine
