Preparation of Wheat for Market.
Richmond. Va. October 20, 1902. :
Editor of "The Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin:
Sir,-Several days back noticed a very
interesting article in your paper, stating
that the per capita consumption of wheat
has increased: also stating that the
amount of wheat used to barrel OF -four
by mills at this time is greater than it
was in years back, when 10 bushels
was the established quantity per barrel.
There is one point involved in this mat
ter that in the writer's opinion goes a
long way towards explaining the apparent
difference.
Twenty years ago every farmer regu-
larry prepared his wheat for the market
Before 1t was sent, it was thoroughly
famed and cleaned. Since the introduce
ton of the steam thresher, with improved
and more powerful fans, this practice Of
cleaning the wheat for the market by
the farmer has become almost obsolete,
and the wheat is now shipped in the
majority of cases. just as 1t comes from
the machine. The result of this difference
in preparing the wheat for market is very
evident in its result on the amount OF
wheat required to manufacture a barrel
of -four. When the mill was buying ab-
solutely clean wheat it required but lit
tie more than IL bushels to the bar
rel. while at the present time when the
mill is getting wheat from the ma chine
with little or no preparation for the mar
ket it requires from 10 to Is pounds more
of wheat to the barrel. the actual stand
ard of milling the same in either case
Very truly yours,
THOMAS L. MOORE.

IE NORTH POLE FooLlsHNEss.

For the first time IN several years. the scien-
tfc world is without representation in active arctic
exploration the intrepid searches for the north pole
comprising the expeditions under command of Lieu
tenant Robert E. Peary Evelyn B. Baldwin and Cap
tain Otto Sverdrup having returned from their voy
ages without accomplishing their ambitious pur-
pose That neither of the expeditions penetrated
the north frigid farther than its predecessors
it is to Lieutenant Pearys credit that, in touching
eighty-four degrees, seventeen minutes north, he
went within three hundred and forty miles of the
pole, a point to it than has heretofore been
touched the Western Hemisphre. At that lati-
tude further efforts to advance not attempted,
because OF the impracticability of the relay sys-
TEN, the ice foes becoming smaller, the pressure
ridges grander scale, and the open leads more
frequent. Notwithstanding failure to go to the
pole, Lieutenant Peary is more convinced than ever
before that it can be reached, plan evolved from
his more recent experiences being to start from
winter quarters somewhere on the eighty-third de-
gree, either from Franz Josef Land from the
north Of Greenland and make the journey By sledges

It has been held an impossibility to anglize the

fuse a degree Of life and ambition even unto the
Spanish mixed races of the West Indies and of Cen

crank from Puerto Rico describes the young people
