Cut Out the Rye.

During the past two Or three years there
las been considerable trouble in this state
caused by rye getting mixed in the wheat.
A large quantity of wheat that would other
wise be of fine quality is utterly ruined for
milling purposes by the rye that is mixed
through the grain, and many dollar is lost
to famers that might easily and readily be
saved by the exercise of little care in cut
ting clusters of rye out of the wheat fields.
Michigan millers require the best grade of
perfectly clean wheat In order to produce
-four of as fine quality as they have been
making the past ten years or more. Mich
igan first grade hours are Justly celebrated
In the most discriminating markets, both at
home and in foreign countries. This
reputation cannot be maintained except by
the use of first class gram. Wheat mixed
with rye brings only low price in any
market. Farmers cannot spend a little time
to better advantage than to go through the
wheat fields and cut the rye out clean.

ington e. Quincy, Chicago & North

A Summer Resort.

At time when men are only too prone
to embrace any flattering alusion which
will spare them the sting of self reproach
for their failures and blunders, it is posi-
dvely refreshing to find one who is full
of robust sense. Mr.. Van Hoten. the
subject of this article, at one time resid.
ed in New York state. where he was con-
sidered financially well off, but during
the war he lost all. He was not the kind
of man who belongs to tine great tribe
Of yisionaries, of rainbow-ohasers, of lag
CARDS who have gone down in the battle
of life, shrinking from an acknowledg.
ment of defeat and wrapping themselves
in the complacent mantle of the worlds
injustice" Believing he could commence
life's battles again better in new coun-
try, he came to Michigan, and after a
short residence in the state he settled
where he now resides, and where he has
accumulated fine property.
We learn that recently Mr.. Van Hoten
purchased from Mrs. p. Roexs that piece
of property just south of his and intends
converting it into beautiful summer re-
sort. Van is a man OF taste, and any
thing in that line that he undertakes gen.
orally succeeds On the place at the
present time is beautiful grove, spring
water in abundance, and we know the re-
sort will be appreciated by the people of
Owosso. 1t Is in nice riding distance by
