in a strong editorial endorsing the

EDITOR ABERDEEN WEEKIY,
Dear Sir;
Through the well read pages
of the Weekly, l wish to second the
suggestion made by J NJ. Dean con-
cerning growing wheat. The move
is a good one. 1t is worse than fool
ishness to suppose that wheat viii
ever be as cheap as it has been in
the past. The wheat kings have
more than once warned the people
that they would never see cheap
wheat again, therefore. as Mr. Dean.
has said, let all adopt better plan
by raising our own flour
We can raise wheat here just as
our forefathers did, perhaps better,
since the lands have had a long rest
from wheat growing and because we
possibly could get fertilizer more
suitable than was used in former
days. Moreover, our wheat viii
come off just in time to raise a fine
pea crop, thereby fattening our
meat, or hogs, rather.
1t requires about 25S pounds Of
wheat, or 4.3 bushels to make a
barrel of flour. This amount of
wheat should yield, according to Dr.
H. w. Wiley, Chemist of the

A GIANT STATUE.

Probably the largest piece of statu-
ary of the old world will be that OF
King Victor Emmanuel II. of Italy. to
be erected in Rome in( September Of
this year. The immenke statue will
consist of the king astride. magnifi'
cent charger, and will stand about A.
feet in height. The head of the king
alone will be feet high, and will
weigh two tons The weight of the
whole statue will be about so tons.
The sword which the king will grasp
will be about 70 feet in length.
The great horse which figured so
materially in the downfall of ancient
Troy was noted for its internal ca
pacity' for soldiers, and this statue of
Italy's former king will be no less

MUTILATED MONEY.

Providing that three-fifths of any
mutilated note of legal tender has a
clear face it is redeemable at the re-
demption window of the United States
Treasury in Washington, d. c. But,
if the necessary part is not clear, it
will not be taken and a new bill given
you in its place.
Even if three-fifths of the note is
good you may have to submit to sew
eral questions. and if you do not an
swer them to the satisfaction Of the
clerk you may not get your new bill.
If you do not stammer and choke
or attempt to make a clean cut Of it,
You will get the full value of the mu-
tilated note. On the other hand. if
YOU have two-fifths of a note and you
want to get a new one in its place,
you must appear before an officer Of
the law qualified to administer oaths
and to make affidavit as TO time, man.
ner and place in which the mutilation
was accomplished,
This affidavit will be attested by
the official seal of the officer,who also
must be prepared to attest in like
manner the character of the affiant.
Except in the above cases, notes are
returned to the persons sending them
for redemption. 1t is best to beware
of torn currency in general. If you
tear a note accidentally you should
have it redeemed at once.
