The difference in flour
lies somewhat in the
wheat and a great deal
in the milling.
The difference in price
lies somewhat in the
quality, and a great deal
in the selling.
Our -four is better than
comm on -four, because
it's milled from uncOm-
monty fine wheat, by an
uncommonly perfect pro-

1t is cheaper because

Ancient History Tells of a Team of

 Plutarch says: Not content with this equal division of the lands, etc, of the Lacedaemonians he Uycurgus) re sOved to make a division of their movables, too, that there might be no odious distinction or inequality left among them; but finding that it would be very dangerous to go about it openly he took another course and defeated their avarice by the following strata gem: He commanded that all gold and silver coin should be called in, and that only a certain kind of money made of iron should be current. A great weight and quantity was of little worth, so that to lay up twenty or thidty pounds there was required a pretty large closet, and to remove it nothing less than a yoke |of oxen. With the diffusion of this monye, at once nmber of vices were banished from Lacedaemonia, for who would rob another of such a coin? Who would unjustly detain or take by force or accept as a bribe, thing which was not easy to hide nor a credit to have, nor indeed of any use to cut in pieces? For when it was just ret hot they quenched it in vinegar by that means spelling it, and made it almost incapable of being worked
 Clare, in his Universal History of the World volume II, page 5S5, says: TO render the state dependent only on its own territorial products and to prevent any individual from accumuIa- ting an undue amount of wealth, he (Lycurgus) prohibited the use of any money except an iron coin, with so small value in comparison with its bulk and weight; that the necessity of using it as a medium of exchange would make it difficult to carry on trade, especially foreign commerce. By subjecting this coin to a process rendering it brittle and unfit for any use. Lycurgus endeavored to destroy every desire to board it as as a treas ure."
 Rollin, in his History" volume I, page 6S7, says: First he (Lycurgus) cried down all gold and silver money and ordained that no other should be current than that of iron, which he made so very heavy and fixed at so low rate that a cart and two oxen were necessary to carry home a sum Of 10 mines (5O0 French 1ivres, about $SS.S0) and. a whole chamber to keep it in"
 This was don for the purpose of sapping the foundation of avarice.
 From the above quotations it would seem that while iron was much more valuable than it is now, still it was not so valuable as to justify it's being coined into money. It seems that a team of oxen could haul about $SS worth of coin. presume the same sort of team might haul one-fffth that value of iron at the present date.-scientific American.
