Wheat Exneriments.

After testing the matter for ten
years with sixty varieties of wheat
the Ohio Experiment Station recon
mends the following as the best
varieties of wheat; Valley, Egypt,
ian, Poole, Red Fultz, Mealy, Velvet
Chat, Democrat, Deita, Niger and
Hicks. The Valley, Velvet CHAT,
Niger and Mealy are the best for
good strong ground, while the
Poole, Democrat, Hicks and White
Chaff Fultz are better adapted to
lighter and thinner soils. The Vel
vet Chaff is the heaviest wheat, but
the Valley has made the greatest
yield per acre -Pomeroy Demo

PETROLEUM AS FUEL.
Will Eventually Be Used on Engines
Everywhere Instead Of LOaI.

VIII EFenIually BE USeu on Engines
Everywhere Instead OF coal.
Before many weeks all the loco
motives on the system of the South
ern Pacific in Oakdale, Alameda
and Berkeley, and probably many
on the main line of other roads in
the country will be burning petro.
leum instead of coal. The Southern
California Railway has twelve 10
comotives, equipped with a patent
ed device for burning petroleum
and is preparing to equip all its en-
gines in the same manner. By
adopting oilthe company has effect
ed saving of 20 per cent. in the
cost of the fuel. The petroleum is
the thick, crude product of the oil
wells near Los Angeles, unlimited
quantities of which can be had at
small cost. Arrangements have
been made by the owners of the oil
wells to ship the surplus product to
Oakland, and it is said that the South
ern Pacific will be the principal pur-
chaser. Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Small
have figured out that to use the oil
as fuel for locomotives at a cost not
to succeed that of coal, it would
have to be purchased for not more
than 75 cents a barrel, delivered in
San Francisco or Oakland. AS the
oil can be had for 20 cents a barrel
in Los Angeles, the company has
no fear but that it eau secure un-
limited quantities ofthe oil. deliver
ed there, for much less than IS cents
and effect large saving by utilizing
it instead of coal, which now costs
the company 81 80 per ton.
Several locomotives are to be
equipped with the necessary spray
ing devices, arched fireboxes of fire
brick, and tanks for the storing of
the oil and experiments with the new
fuel will be made as soon as the en-
gines are ready.
Petroleum was burned on the
steamer Piedmont several years ago
and with considerable success, as
far as the matter of expense is con
cerned. One day, however, the
startling discovery was made that
the rivets in the boilers had nearly
all been burned off, and the boat
was Immediately overhauled and
equipped with fire boxes designed
for burning coal. This action of
the oil on the boilers was attributed
to the intense heat, and the heads of
the operating department think
that the defect which nearly caused
a catastrophe on the steamer Pied
mont can be easily avoided in loco
motives if the spraying of the oil is
properly done.

The Cincinnati Post calls atten-
ton to the fact that the people of
Cincinnati every year expend five
million dollars for Pittsburg coal
and hardly receive back cent of
this amount through the legitimate
channels of trade. A very large
portion of the trade of Cincinnati
comes from the Kanawha valley
and the business men of the Queen
City should invariably give the pref
erence to Kanawha and New river
coal over that from Pittsburg
When our mines are running on
full time Cincinnati experiences the
most beneficial results in increased
trade and when the miners are idle
for lack of orders the merchants of
the Ohio metropolis at once suffer
from more or less stagnation of
business. They should encourage
in every way possible the industries
of the Kanawha valley.-Kanawha

In recent syndicate article Mr..
Washington Davis brings forward
proof to establish the relationship
of General Grant and Jefferson
Davis. Itseems that William Simp-
son, of Pennsylvania, was the great
grandfather of these two famous
men who tried SO hard to destroy
each other in our civil war. From
the article referred to we quote the
following:
"The curtain has been drawn be-
tween this generation and the times
which General Grant and Jefferson
Davis lived-and fought. The one
was a soldier statesman; the other
a tstesman-soldier Both came
from a common parentage in Great
Britain. For five generations their
mutual ancestors lived under Anne
lean infiuences-almost in the esrle
localities, progressing westward ami
southwark. Their forefathers were
fellow colonial subjects of Great
Britain, then close comrades in
Washington's army, also in the war
of 1872, and the sons in the Mexi.
can war. While General GraaS
was conquering the Spanfards n
the ancient Aztec cour Try, Jeffer-
son Davis was instituting successful
plans for the conduct of the war
department in the new territories,
afterwards becoming secretary of
war" -
There is nothing strange in this.
Thousands of the early settlers of
this country had descendants who
moved from the eastern and middle
States to the south and west. In
the late war hundreds of thousands
of cousins faced one another on our
battlefelds. The tall rifleman from
the frozen plains of the northwest
exchanged shots with his kinsman
from the banks of the Rio Grande
and perhaps received his death
wound from an unknown cousin In
Virginia.
1t is a fact, we believe, that Gen
eral Longstreet and General Grant
were related by marriage, through
the Dents, if we are not mistaken
Many other interesting relationships
between the union and confederate
leaders might easily be traced.
They emphasize the fact that the
genuine Americans of this country
are closely connected by ancestral
ties and marriage relationships In
the main we are all of one family,
and it is nonsense to have any arti-
fetal sectional barriers dividing us.
A few generations hence the civil
war will be only a memory and the
descendants of the blue and the gray
will be as much one people as are
the EngIishmen of to day whose
ancestors fought on opposite sides
in the war of the roses.
