An Excursion into the Cascade Mountains. CORVALLIS. Ore.. June 16. En. VISITOR: At an early hour Saturday morning. June 14th. we packed our lunch preparatory to spend- ing a day. with our Sunday school. on an excursion into the Cascade mountains, a trip of about seventy five miles. The train started from Corval- lis at seven in the morning. with five coaches containing three or four hundred people. The weather was all that could be wished. A few light fleecy clouds were blown up over the Coast range from the ocean by a stiff. cool breeze, which made the Wraps we expected to need in the mountains, not at all un- comfortable. The excursion was over the Willaaw.ette. Valley & Coast R. R., which is being pro- jected eastward from the coast through the Cascades. with a view to making an outlet, both east and west. for the grain, live stock and fruit products grown in the VVillamette valley. The railroad enters the mountains in the basin of the Santiam river. which it follows some thirty or forty miles right up into the heart of the range. The country passed through before reaching the hills is near- ly level. or a gradual incline to- ward the hills. Only a little timber is seen until the foot hills are reached. The land is cut up into large farms which are cov- ered with crops of grain with a few pasture fields. Very little stock :is seen on these farms at this season. as it is out grazing on the unoccupied land in the foot hills. The grain crops con- sist of winter and spring Wheat and oats; only two or three small fields of corn were passed in the Whole distance. The farm build- ings were very poor with few exceptions. There are two rea- sons why the farm buildings are so poor throughout the valley. One is, the climate is so mild during the winter that very little stock is sheltered in barns; and this same influence affects the house. No foundation, no plas- tering and little paint is the rule; hence the respectable house when new, does not long remain so. Another reason, and the most potent I believe. is that the farmers of the Willamette valley have had too easy times; the soil has been too fertile, hence the extensive method has prevailed. “Go it" on a large scale and when tools and buildings give out, "buy and build more" has been the motto. Nature and a combination of circumstances are compelling a change. Low prices for grain and stock and a less fertile soil cry a halt. No one can judge of the finan- cial standing of the owners of the land by the condition of the farm buildings and surroundings. As we were rapidly pulled along, the immense fields of win- ter grain presented a beautiful view indeed. Its growth is near- ly completed, and the heads are all out, waiting only for a few days lof bright sunshine to put on the golden hue. Oats and spring lwheat need rain except in the foot hills where they have had ‘plenty. 1‘ A few timothy meadows were the same as wheat, but is no! de- generated wheat. This crop makes fairly good hay when out early, but it does not compare with clover and timothy in qual- ity. As we entered the foot hills, the grain fields began to be in- terspersed with patches of oak timber. Not the tall. thrifty oak of Michigan. but a more stunted. scrubby growth of white oak trees and grubs. Mixed with the oak was a goodly amount of small fir trees which towered far above the oaks as straight as ar- rows. Many of these fir saplings were not more than six inches through at the ground and were a hundred feet high. After leaving the valley the railroad follows closeiy along the river bank which, in most places, is high and steep and covered with loose rocks. In some places the solid rock was many feet above us on one side, While on the other, the river was rushing along its stony bed as many_feet._below,. The water in the river 1S as clear as crystal, and as cold as melted snow from Mount Jefferson can make it. The water was so transparent that the small stones and pebbles in the river bottom could easily be seen from the car windows. Up through this narrow gorge we wound along like a snake.,al- most making one sea sick from the motion of the cars. W'ith all the crooks and turns we had a smooth road bed. and the iron horse at the head of the train took us along at the rate of twen- ty-five or thirty miles an hour. As we fairly got into the mountains the great peaks began to close in around us. The sides of these immense piles of rock and earth are covered with a dense growth of mammoth fir trees. It seemed as though these great trees were vieing with the very mountain peaks to see which could raise its head the farthest heavenward. We have seen tall trees in northern Mich- igan. but they would be saplings compared with these fir trees. Many of them scale a hundred and fifty feet without a limb. It is marvelous how such gigantic trees can get a foothold upon the steep mountain side and stand for ages unless molested by fire or mans relentless hand. Large saw mills are being built right in the midst of this timber. and ere the next decade passes, many thousand and million feet will go down to the valley to be used in the cities and in building better farm buildings. In many cases the logs and lumber are transported down the mountain to the railroad in chutes, thus using the force of nature instead of brute force. The train reached its destina- tion about eleven o’clock. The stop was made at the end of the completed road, forty miles from the summit of the range. The excursionists spent the five hours alloted to them, before starting for civilization again, in eating lunch, collecting flow- ers and ferns and in trying to catch the wily brook trout. The speckled beauties seemed to take jin the situation, and could 11ot be induced to touch the most tempting fly. The water is too l ’passed. but the principal hay crop . is cheat. or chess. which is sown: icold at this season of the year J for successful fishing. ‘ If there was no other induce- iments. to get a drink of the sparkling mountain spring water come so far.

The run was made in a little less than three hours, gaining an hour over the out bound trip, reaching Corvallis at seven in the evening, with all on board feeling that the day had been a pleasant one indeed. —H.

If there is one piece of farm work that the writer‘ feels he knows how to do, it is putting grain into shock rapidly and well, so that it will successfully resist all ordinary accidents of wind and weather to which our crops are exposed. I tried many Inntl-nnfls hn‘F‘>=m I f(;-‘_’£.‘i-73“ .e.n.f3,o factory one. This is perfect. and as I never saw any one who had ever heard of it, except the man who taught it to me. I want to tell the readers how it is done. If our wheat had been shocked in this manner all over the state, we should not have heard of ‘the terrible losses of 1552. Of the 1;’ bundles that make the shock, select. first. for caps the two longest and best, pre- ferably not very large ones. Next take the two longest and stand them north and south. head? to head. with the buts well apart. and settle them firmly together. and on the ground. The beginn- er will not set the buts far enough apart. The bundles should. stand at an angle of about 45 degrees with the ground. or as flat as may be without falling in; they will never move after they have been left to themselves. Next, with a good bundle in each hand. step to the north end of the shock, facing south. and set a pair astride of the buts of the north one of the first pair, rather straight. leaning slightly toward the shock, i. e. south. Set another pair over the buts of the south bundle of the first pair. The shock is now long, consist- ing of three pairs of bundles, the first ranging north and south, and the second and third ranging east and west, one pair astride of the buts of each of the first. This is the essential part of the shock, and with a little practice is so set to form a lock that stands firmly. A pair against the east, and one against the West sides with the caps complete the shock, which will not be round, but will present a Well—defined ridge running north and south. To cap this shock, do not break the straws all one way, but part them to the right and left above the band; then with the fingers open the lower side of the butt just before placing the cap on, and spread the butts Well when in place. The object is to have, not a circular roof, but a long one with two well-defined sides. east and West. No man need be afraid to lean againts this shock in putting on the caps as it will hold up any ordinary person. would be well Worth the effort to, , ciated on trial. :method I have eveer seen. cap on last. If the shock be properly made there will be a hole entirely through east and west. ; and every bundle will be visible from the outside. ‘ The advantages of this method 1 3 are many. and will become appre- The shock con-j sists of pairs of bundles. and; they should be handled in pairs. 1 One or two men can work at it; with equal faciliiy. There is no: in the strength of the shock. and‘ may be equal or unequal. good or poor. The first six make the lock. and the two of each pair should be about equal. Even a careless man may help: if the careful man sets up the first pair. and one of the end pairs. the shock will stand in spite of care- less work elsewhere. Every one knows in practice that in most methods every bundle must be carefully placed. or the shock will be likely to go down. This plan requires little care when once learned, and I have never had aman who did not readily make a good shock in this way. Since I began to use it, five or six years ago, very few caps have been blown off. and less than 11 If-a-do en shoflgrs nan-e bcc‘ll' oown own. up. only fault is that in taking down the shock, it must come in the order in which it was built up, as it cannot be readily pushed over with the fork and taken at random. This method is especi- ally good for starting shocks of corn stalks. which are easily blown down. In short. a shock put up in this way. is stronger, presents more drying surface, is more easily made. will resist more bad work and bad weather. Altogether this is the best Vrry it.—I;‘. ],)r1rcnporf. A‘, >_ Agricultural Depression, No topic commands more care- ful attention at this time than that of agricultural depression. That the farm does not pay the profit now that it did in former times, or that it ought, is conced- ed on all hands, but there is a wide divergence of opinion both as to the cause and remedy. Some argue that over production is the sole cause of the trouble; others that it is a case of tariff, and too much middleman; still others that it is trusts and com- binations that are at the bottom of the trouble, and a few think that the expensive and extrava- gant style of living which is prevalent among farmers has more to do with it than any or all other factors. In my judg- ment there is more or less of truth in all these propositions, and each is responsible for its share, and this being true, there is no one sovereign remedy, but re- lief must, and will come gradual- ly, and by the proper adjustment of the various forces which bear on the subject. The purchasing power of mon- ey was probably never greater than now, and if the farmer is obliged to sell his products at a low price, he can buy the neces- saries of life, in most instances. correspondingly low, and this fact should not be lost sight of in considering the situation. While this is true of many lines of goods which we buy, there are other things which cost us much more now than they did when prices of our products were half. are almost beyond our reach. The doctor. whose visit formerly was from one to two dollars. now charges from two to five. and the ‘lawyer gauges his fee by the amount he thinks it will be pos- sible for him to collect. But. fortunately. we can dispense witl. the lawyer entirely. and to quite an extent with the doctor.

Another point which farmers should consider is the extortion of millers. Since the roller pro- cess has been adopted. and the creek mills have been to a great extent closed, we find ourselves in the power of the millers. and instead of getting our wheat ground for one-tenth or our corn for oiie-eighth, we are obliged to take just what the miller chooses to give us. and in many cases this is little if any more than I do not ‘mow of a rolle lrlgilw gnu: ‘ yuan‘, 0 din; more pounds of flour for 60 pounds of good wheat, and this amount is given only where there are sev- eral mills to compete with each other. The result of this is that many farmers sell their grain and buy their flour and meal at the grocery, giving still another middle man a chance to put his hand in their pockets. During the past winter corn has sold at 25 cents a bushel at my railroad station. and corn meal has retailed at the grocer- ies at $2 per hundred. and so the farmer would sell four bushels of corn (224 pounds net) to pay for fifty pounds of meal. The 1nod— ern iron mills. run by a thresher engine, will make good meal. and as such a mill can be bought for $60, and the thresher engines be- ing idle in the winter we can get partial relief through them. I wish I could point out a plain and easy path to agricul- tural prosperity, but I know of none. Intelligence, dogged per- severance. wise economy and in- dustry will enable us to sur- mount most of our difliculties. Legislation will do something for us. and “What can’t be cured must be endured."—Wal¢Io F. Brown. in Anm'icm: Ia’ur(zlI{muc. . 4.3.}. A It is the short, terse, epigram- matic sentences that live longest in the memory and do the most good. “Brevity." it was once said, “is the soul of wit,” and, we might add. it is also the power of argument. People tire of long- drawn sentences that mean noth- ing. The speaker or writer who wishes to impess the minds of his hearers or readers must couch his thoughts in strong. clear Words. To do this, how- ever, requires the most careful study of the subject, so that no random shots be fired and no words wasted. In all public or private meetings, where several are expected to speak, each one should consume as little time as possible, and do justice to the subject which they have under consideration. When you have a thought, seek dilgently for the best way of con- veying it to others, and you will .Our prevailing winds are from lthe west and we put the south fifty per cent higher than they are now.

A nurseryman complains that he originated a variety. and that; tree peddlers are selling trees § under the name which he adopted. He says that if new varieties can . have no protection he proposes! to cease propagating them. We ~ think it would be difficult to con- ! ceive of more stringent laws than :i we have upon the subject. Every— thing that is worth anything is counterfeited. Our money is counterfeited. and the only thing we can do is to arrest and convict the counterfeiter. That is all we I can do. too. with the man who steals the name of a variety of fruit and sells something that is worthless under it. If we are to stop growing or manufacturing everything that is pirated. we shall soon have nothing but the counterfeit. VV'e should have to give up coining money. No. that is not the way to do. VVhat is demanded of us is an effort to hunt down the rascals who injure both the honest nurseryman and the purchaser by false represen- tations. There are a lot of graceless scamps in the business of pedd- ling trees who ought to be in the penitenitary. They never draw an honest breath. and there ought to be a concerted action to rail- road them into State prison. But we must not forget that the peo- ple themselves are greatly to blame for the success of this dis- reputable crowd. The people permit themselves to be too easily deceived. An entire stranger comes into a community to sell trees. Nobody in the community knows him or ever heard of him. and. of course. nobody can tell what the tree is that he offers. He represents that he is selling ‘ every crevice. Do One Thing Well. It is interesting to watch birds of different varieties seeking their food. They get their supply from many different objects. The skill they display in finding what they want is what distinguishes them. One feeds on ants and larvae that inhabit tree trunks. hence hops up and down the oak or elm. thrusting his bill into and from the closest cranny pulling out its vic- tim. Another prefers small worms and insects living on the foliage. hence visits every leaf, looking at both its upper and lower sur- faces to find its game. A third gets its supply from the earth. It hops along the sod. waits and watches. jumps eagerly at a bug -or worm. and if neces- sary bores with its tail into the ground to explore the hidden haunts of what it seeks. A fourth sits on the fence qui- etly gazing about. then suddenly darts this way and that. snap- ping up gnat. fly or beetle. that sails by in the sunlight. And other varieties. according to their instincts or education. follow their own way, each and all of them seeming to have re- markable skill in their own line. so that they rarely fail to get what they seek. They illustrate what is true among men as well as birds. Their success is due to skill in the line they pursue. It is not only work that tells. but skilled work: and this is the re- sult of following a bent. or per- haps only a choice. but of so fol- lowing it as to get as much as possible out of it. It should be the aim of all. and especially of the young. to fit themselves for doing some one thing well. and this or that variety. and the word of this utter stranger is taken and a lot of trees ordered. It would be just as reasonable to cash a cherk for a man we never saw or heard of before. Men will buy trees of these fellows when there is anursery on the next quarter section to them. and they buy because they think~ upon wlyaty good grounds they ::'i '. ..,'3x1o5- an. <9 {.3-ott:-ins’ something better. and are very liable to get something that is not near as good. There are reputable nurseries with reput- able agents all over the country. If we are satisfied that a man is the agent of a reputable nursery it is safe enough to buy trees from him. for the concern itself is responsible. But do not buy of strangers who have nothing at all to recoiumend them except their word and their cheek. Now if there is anybody who will not take that advice. and buy and get swindled. we will not say it is good enought for you. though. perhaps that would be very ap- propriate. But we will be charit- able. and advise you to do all that you reasonably can do. to hunt up the swindler and have him punished. It is absurd to permit alot of well-tl1*cssecl and oily-tongued frauds to perainbu- late our farming districts. pick- ing the pockets of our farmers. The immunity from punishment which the tree swindlers enjoy would suggest that honest men were wholly at the mercy of scoundrels.

There seems to be a revival of‘ interest in shipping wool this season. due largely. no doubt, to the zeal of the new farmers‘ or- ganizations to do something for themselves in the way of market- ing their products, without the intervention of the middle-man. This spirit is quite commendable, but the editor of the VISITOR, and many members of our order. have had an experience in that direction that might be valuable to those who are now. for the first time. attempting to do the business for themselves. Ten years ago. and back of that. the opportunities for making a little money on personal shipments were better than they are now. There has been a tendency to do business on a large scale. in car lots, at considerable less expense. and the individual shipments are desired only as adding a little to the amount handled. but the cost of handling such lots is largely in creased. It will not pay the aver- age farmer now to ship his wool. and still less for those whose wool is a little off quality. The wool graders in the large markets handle wool with a discriminat- ing expertness born of long prac- tice. and woe to the lot that comes to their hands in bad con- dition. It will all go to the “un- merchantable" pile. and the own- er. really unconscious of its qual- ity. will feel wronged and cheat- ed. and doubtless call the com- mission man a thief and other bad appellations when his ac- count of sales at last arrives. Reports come of a large meet- ing of the P. of I. in the eastern part of Kent county. called to consider the advisability of ship- ping wool. The report says that offers are made to sell the wool at one per cent. and to sack and handle it at the place of ship- ment at one per cent. This is doubtless an error. No commis sion house will grade and sell for less than five per cent., and most houses ask two cents per lb. The offer is probably one cent per lb. in stead of one per cent. in each case, which is no better than any individual can do by shipping on his own account. The writer has shipped to Boston and to Troy, N. Y.. repeatedly, and believes he can do as well now, all things considered. to sell in the home market as to ship the wool. If wool is long staple, bright and well grown—that if the condi- tion of the animal has been good from shearing to shearing, then it will pay to ship the wool; but if the flock has run down, from short pasture or any other cause, there will be a breaking point in that portion of the wool, which throw it into a lower grade, and the owner must take that grade price. whatever it is. — Another objection to personal shipments is the fact that the bad custom prevails of selling wool on 00 days’ time. and if the owner needs the money he must pay in- terest on the advance, and let the er. Home market figures were quoted—not speculative ones. Flour is retailing at this writing for sack for $1.30 which weighs 40 lbs., sack and all. This looks like more than a 5 to 6 per cent. profit on 80 cent wheat. .-4—-4 -4-0--~ v-- - - “ Live Within Your Means." vmanufacturer have the use of his One of the antidotes for the re- product for nothing for the time. i lief of farmers who feel the pinch A part of the wool may be sold of poverty for the first time, is‘ on arrival. and another grade may not be sold in two or three months. quoted above. This advice usu- ally comes from those who have The last lot goes on the three a regular stated income, of such months‘ credit system. so the ac- count of sales must await this last period before it is made up and forwarded. As was said at the beginning of this article. the heavy dealer has the advantage of low rates all around. Banks carry his paper at a small per cent., and he chances the winter market to help him out by an advance at that time. Wool buying is a speculation which the farmer cannot and ‘ought not to expect to succeed in. It is not intended, indeed. that he should. Business is not built that way. Whether wisely or unwisely, justly or unjustly, the fact remains. and the farmers who go into this scheme of ship- of a part of their product. The compensation may come through the experience of the trial. but the VISITOR hopes that none of its readers will venture on the experiment. _ , __<,.,__,,_,-. “The Farmer and the Miller.’' On another page will be found a reply to a paper under the above heading. published in a re- cent number of the VISITOR. which gives the miller's side of ‘the question. Exceptions are taken regarding the amount of ilour which the writer of the pre- vious article stated could be pro- duced from a bushel of wheat by the roller process. The figures were obtained from the foreman of one of the best flouring mills in Western Michigan. It is only a disagreement which often occurs among doctors. Our Indiana cor- respondent makes a fresh state- ment when he assures us that the old stone mills could get more flour from a bushel of wheat than by the roller process. but farmers all know that the bran and bi-products from roller mills are dusted clean from flour, and will have their opinion that it runs out somewhere in a product that sells for more in the market than ship stuff or bran. This miller helps A. C. G. out in his figures in that elastic way millers have of charging for flour by the 100 lbs. and then giving but 98 lbs.. or 196 lbs. for a bar- rel. At the time the paper was read before the Institute, flour was selling on the streets of Hartford, Mich., at $2.00 per 100 lbs. and wheat was bringing 73 cents. The figures in the paper were based upon these two facts, and are correct upon that basis. We suppose the small profit of 5 to 6 per cent on the capital invested in mills induces millers to save this two per cent, which comes in by weighing out only 49 lbs. to the 50 lb. sack. What was said‘ about “reaching over into farmers‘ sacks“ applies in this case to other people as well. This we suppose will be excused on the principle of "time-honor ed custom,” and not that it is necessary to eke out the small percent of profit now realized by the owners of flouring mills by such a questionable practice. The tables of figures quoted by our correspondent’ have nothing to do with the question at issue the grader will detect at once and between the farmer and the mill- ping wool will surely be plucked- dimensions that all the necessa- ries and many of the luxuries of life can be had. and still leave an unexpended balance to add to their already ample estate. They say farmers have got into the bad habit of living too well; that they buy carriages and musical instruments. sit in the body pews at church. and dress too well. The list is frequently extended to include farming implements and new buildings. The idea is clearly defined that farmers have no right to keep step in the march of progress—that the ad- vance in civilization is intended for a favored few who shall arro- gate to themselves all the bene- fits that may arise from the worlds progress. This estimate of the condition of affairs assumes that the times are all right. but that farmers. instead of grum bling. should ride in the farm wagon, be satisfied with the old accordeon or flute for their boys and girls to practice music with; that they should dress in home- spun and homemade clothes. and attend “meeting“ in the school house. They must also compete with other countries in the pro- duction of grain by using the tools their fathers used and prac- tice the methods they employed. \Vtat right has any one to as- sume that other pursuits should be favored and enjoy the benefits of the ifie‘-'l»d's progress. or have a better show for acquiring a fair share of distributed wealth than the farmer? The doctrine enun- ciated by so many would build up caste and erect a division in soci- ety, separated by a wall of wealth beyond which the farmer could not hope to enter. There is no pursuit around which the com- pelling force of circumstances has built such a barrier as about the business of farming. The price of all his products is arbitrarily fixed by another line of business. However imbued with energy, or fertile in expedients, they avail nothing as against the inexorable price. He cannot say. “I will stock up this year with 1.000 bushels of wheat. 2.000 bushels each of corn and oats. sell the wheat at a dollar and feed the grain to stock at a fixed profit on their sale when mature." The elements on the one side. and the limitations under which he is compelled to dispose of his pro- ducts on the other, hampers all his endeavors. "Live within your means“ would be a -trite axiom if the ‘'means’’ were more ample or could be multiplied by his efforts. Under existing circumstances it is more an insult than a sugges- tion. Who shall say that the farmer should not live as other men five; educate his children as well; surround himself with home comforts, and enter into the pleasures of life like other people? This is his prerogative and ought to be his privilege. If the business of farming. when well managed, will not permit the usual expenditures which cus- tom and society demands, then there is something wrong that ought to be regulated, and that speedily. The next two weeks will be busy ones with farmers, securing I ‘the wheat crop. All the precau- tions should be taken to secure it in good order. V\'e republish the 60 per 100 lbs.—a 50-lb.

A very fine quality of grain is now maturing. and we should spare no pains to insure a No. 1 grade of Michigan wheat for market. Cut the cropearly; cap the shocks to keep the sun and possible rain off the grain. and rush it to cover as fast as possible. Better cut wheat two days early than be two days late. Try the first extreme this season and you will never be late again. The wheat is brighter, heavier. and makes better flour; the straw is 50 per cent. better to feed, and you may get the wheat in the barn just before a series of rain storms. Nature favors those who are a little ahead. rather than the rear column. ———M-+—>-————— Important Resolutions.

Bug Finish is an important and valuable discovery, as it affords a way by which Paris Green, the most effective of bug poisons can be safely used. It was discover- ed by the inventor of Bug Finish l sound reasoning and many con—‘that by grinding and uniting Paris Green into a base-—like Gypsum. as is done in making Bug Finish. the Green would not effect the vines or make the po- tatoes watery. Every consumer of potatoes will testify to the fact that late potatoes. as a rule. are watery or soggy and quite un- palatable. as compared with the inealy potatoes we once had: it has now been proven that this is caused by the use of Paris Green in water. or by applying particles of clear Green in any way. such as simply stirring it into plaster. lime and other bases. whereby the plaster simply acts as a car- rier to distribute the Green. and the small particles of Green go on the vines in a clear state: during certain stages of growth. the clear Green inters the fiber of the vine and effects the potatoes. as ex- plained. A very thin dust of Bug Finish on the vines or trees is sufficient to kill all of the crop of insects then existing on the vines. and it remains on the vines for many days. except where very heavy rains occur and sometimes until other crops of the insects are hatched and distroyed. Bug Finish is composed of Sulphate of Lime (Gypsum) with a little rye flour to make it stick. with one pound and six ounces of Pure Paris Green to each 100 pounds of the above mixture. the whole Compound is reduced very fine and thoroughly combined by patent process. so that every grain of the whole mass is suffi- ciently poisonous that a small amount will kill any insect the same as though it had eaten pure paris green. hence only a very slight dust is necessary. making it cheaper than any other known preparation. unless it is Paris Green and water. and when the expense of handling and ap plying so much water is consider ed the Bug Finish is fully as cheap, and if the difference in effective- ness and QUALITY OF l’OT.-\’l‘Oi:2S is taken into account. Paris Green and water will not be considered in comparison at all. Bug Finish is also a fertilizer. will help the growth of the vines. instead of retarding their growth. as does water and Green. espec- ially when the water is applied in the middle of the day. One pound of Bug Finish will prove more effective than six tiiiics the aniount of pltisfcr and Paris Grecii as mixed by the fziriuers. In addition to the sav- ing in this way. its s:1\'<-s the time of niixing. is safe to liandle and does not injure the potatoes. No fariner should allow a pound of cicar Paris Green to be hrouglit on his farm. AI.AR.xs'rI.\'i; Co.. GR.-\.\'l) RAI>Ins. Mics. " mourns}: ¢:..i:aa3f.;ND WASHINGTON.

The poets have recorded our good deeds in sentiment and song. and if we err or fail to perform the acts that are pleas- ing. they are as profuse in por- traying our weaknesses. Burns adored his Highland Mary, and compared her to all that was lovc-ly—placing her no lower than the angels and giving her the same degree of perfection. And many other lovely charac- ters he wove in his rythmic way. extolling their loveliness and worth by recording their good THE GR.ANGE VISITOR. deeds, benevolence and charity; T and in speaking of their rights. he says: “One sacred right of woman is protection.” But know- ing one whose life he did not ad- mire, he wrote for her husband's epitaph: “As Father Adam first was fooled- A case that's still too common- Here lies a man by woman ruled; The devil ruled the woman." Byron, in some of his moods. is profuse in his admiration of woman, and gives her credit for doing and saying very many fine things. but characterizes her as a “false and fair dreamer.” Longfellow gives us constancy and perseverance in his "Evan- gelinef‘ a student of human na- ture. with ready wit and impul- sive words from an honest heart». in “Priscilla.“ and he makes his Spanish student tell the beauti- ful untutored Gipsey girl that what he most adinires in woman is her affection and her intellect. The poets of all ages and clinics have been telling us of the beau- tiful things of life. but every wo- man. no matter what her posi- tion may he, knows from experi- ence that there is a great many prosy places and stern realities which require a great deal of work, patience and forbearance. Ever since she was placed by the side of man in the garden of Eden. she has had her work to do and been held responsible for the results. It is not for me to tell another what her work must be: no two lives are just the saiiie. and we are not expected to do the same things in the saine way any more than we are expected to look alike: and I often think that it is not so much for us to make or uiiiiiake our surroundings as it is in our .'-mrsr. for we all know that the best laid plans have come to naught. because we could not foresee the impediments that we must meet and which could not be pushed aside. I think it would be well for the housekeeper to plan her work in a way that would best suit the wants of her family, and if a neighbor or friend should step in just at meal time. give him or her a chair at the table and offer them the fare you have prepar- ed. If your visitor is to remain a week. make him as one of the family. and do not let the equi- libriuin of your household be at all disturbed. but only as a ray of sunshine. permeating every de- partinent by the social chat that inay be felt by all.

It is an old and trite saying that "woniaii’s work is never done." and it is usually uttered in a sad and coniplaining way. But where is there a woman who would like to know that he work was done. and nothing to do. I cannot think of a more sad pic- ture than of a woman placed in such a position— no one to care or work for; no ambition to grat- ify. and so many beautiful things to make. do and say. and she not to be allowed to take part.

VV. —< o >——~ - A Cure For Fault-Finding. VVhilc pages have been written in condemnation of the fault- finder, too little is generally said of the causes that bring, too often. into existence such an unpleas- ant and thoroughly reprehensible failing. The fault-finding woman is an exceedingly disagreeable person, but she is often less to be condemned than the persons around her who. she has learned from experience, will shirk every responsibility and duty to which they are not goaded. This goad ing gradually becomes a habit, and the innocent and guilty too often suffer from this effect of the jaded temper of a nervous. overworked woman. There are Scolds who have no possible ex- cuse for their peevishness. who neither work with hand nor brain and occupy their time chiefly in fretting. but these are exceptions. The fault-finding Woman usually is :1. hard working woman among drones and naturally feels the injustice of her position. The persons who have become accus- tomed to see her do the drudgery of the work. are quite likely to murmur if their ease is disturbed by the complaints of an over- worked women. The only remedy for such cases as tliese is to divide the work so equally that there shallbe no over-worked women. and there will be no ex- cuse for scolding from this cause. Mothers are often at fault in assuming the entire burden of the work without allowing their daughters to soil their fingers in drudgery. forgetting that the command is given to their cliil- dren as well as themselves: "Wliatsoever thy hand findeth to do. do it with thy might." and that they are shutting out from their children the very discipline that providence sent for their good. For a mother to assume burdens -wliicli are more than the strength of one person can endure and which are sure to break her down in iicrves and wear licr out in temper and body. is to iiifiict double injuries on her family and on lierself. Because some are strong to hear such burdens and remain gentle in spirit and healthy in body. is no‘ reason why they should do so. The American mother has higher work than mere drudgery. even in the plainest home. It cannot be too often repeated that work only is honorable and idle- ness shame: that no mother elevates. but rather degrades. her daughter by enforced in- dolence. The virtuous woman of scripture seeketh wool and flax and worketh diligently with her hands. "She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness." And the virtuous woman of scripture teachetli her daughters the same course. .\'ti'I.' :‘?a,*.’i' 'l'r[/mm’. . 4., _, Woman on the Farm. A woman's life is tlirec-fold~ her home. licrself and her chil- dren. Failure in one makes but a partial stlcccss of life. The best remedy known of is a liberal etlticutioii. Ediication is fitting or prcpariiig fo1' any calling. Do we strive to fit our children for thcir cztlliiigl’ Would you pay as much to a labori,-r who can only handle a ll1lIl]lll0l' and saw as to one skilled in iiiucliaiiics'.’ Labor should be iiitelligeiit; then it will be effective and respected. Who are our most successful fariners today in our State? The men who bring skill and intelligence to their business. The faruiers of to—day in our land, give us a contrast. which is mainly due to the far greater influence science has had upon farming here. But how does all this affect the woman on the 'farni‘.’ \Vith0ut. calling in question the great im- portance of hot-so-reariiig and cow and sliccp-fcciliiig. as well as pigs. I would suggest that the roaring of men and women. well grown pliysically. morally and intellectually. is also of some moment. The woman to whose cliargc is coinmitted their unfold- ing cliai'actei.'. should not lieiself be profoundly ignorant of the phenomena with which she has to deal: she should be educated to fullill her tluties as wife and lllOtl1f_‘1'. It is time to lay aside our prejudices and educate our girls for the farni. as well as for other stations in life. You may as well expect perfect fruit from a tree untouched for twenty years. as aperfect character witl1— out daily cultivation. The world will march past the weary house- wife. who knows nothing but her work. The need of a broader life is made significant by one important fact. The statistics of lunatic asyluins show that the largest percentage of their in- mates are farmers‘ wives. Coti- stant fatigue. monotony and the lack of interchange of thought prove too much for the wearied brain to endure. So long as a woman is reqtiireil to be (‘()i')l{. latindress. (lairyiiiaid. scwliig-girl and gardener. so long‘ will she remain a mere (lrudge. The triiest domestic economy coiisists in furnishing conveniences for the wife and housekeeper. that she may save her own strength. Eternal vigilance is the price of good housekeeping. “Man does not live by bread alone," and high thinking and plain liv- ing are better than high living and plain thinking. We often see lavish expendi- ‘cure on things to satisfy for a season. while that which minis,- ters to the higher interests is withheld or grudgingly given. Too much for show——to0 little for Soul. Completely fill the home with satisfactory interests. and there will be no room for dlSCOI1t-ellt. the influence of everything that can improve your condition. and be proud of your vocation.—.lI{.s-.«: il/(/I‘[/ S.

They sweeten their tin-ware and crockery by the orb of day: they bleach their cotton in its rays. dry their floors or ex- pose their bedding to it: but. as to sitting down to shell peas or pare potatoes with their feet in it strip of sunbcziuis. or bzitliiiig other parts of the body in its flood. for the sake of the good it will do them. they never think of such a thing. There is little doubt that if country girls would court the suit as persistently as they soiiictiiiies court other sons. they would furnisli fewer drag- ged-dowii. pale-fa-ced women for fariners‘ wives. Let it be borne in mind that out-door life is ben- eficial. whether hard at work or play. Study to be in the sun- light. Sun heat better than stove heat. preference. ln suniiiier. swing a hammock near the house or on the porch. and acquire the habit of dropping into it rather than lounging on a couch or in the rocker in-doors during intervals of work. While walking excels almost all other out-door exercise. the woman who stands to do much of her work will be hard to convert to such a faith. She will prefer to ride. But she does not ride enough. Often she will not even handle the reins licrself. Such a woman lives l)eiicutli what is a country xvoiiiairs privilege. She should not only know how to liarticss and hitch up a lioi'se. l)ut should. so far as possilili-. sul)ject her work to the liability of being called upon to go on cr- rzuiils away from the farin. The mental relaxation will cheer her tlioughts and the drive will rest her body. Men have held it 1iio- iiopoly of the local excursions off the farm by custom more than by necessity. They prove tlieinselves glad to have a female “errand- boy" in cases of need. and it is only justice to themselves when the women of the farm become such. Out—door ganies are no more needed by any class of people than by these saiiie country girls and women. Theirs should be a joyous life. Croquet. bean-bags. lawn tennis. and any other out- door sports. arc worth their while. Tennis is particularly adapted to their needs and roomy grounds. It is an cxliilaratiiig and l11c,x— ponsive guiiie.

A club of this size could be formed in iiiany country neighborhoods. and as the game may be played by two. no time need be lost in calling together a large company in order to secure frequent and much playing. Moreover. the strife and skill demanded by the game. its picturesqueness and pleasant associations. besides its physical possibilities, make it an admira- ble adjunct to every home striv- ing to solve the old problem of “how to keep the boys and girls on the farni.”——Jcm1y Ifucll, in Anicfican A‘!/7'l‘(’lll[?I,-I'1i.9'f.

A country girl always has an idea that the advantages of the city girl are not hers—that she suffers from lack of something. she doesn't exactly know what. She is convinced that the girl in jthe city avails herself of every ;opportunity to look at fine pic- étures. read choice books and cul- ltivate her mind. Now. when she igencralizes in this way. she is .simply showing herself to be lnarrow and ignorant-. The girl lin the country. to-day. can get jexactly the‘ same papers and lbooks that come to the girl in the jcity. Her thinking hours are llonger. and very often she sees iniore of real. sweet home life. She is apt to learn that most ‘beautiful industry. how to be a ‘good housewife. and over the lbreztd pan or the churn. she can lthink as great thoughts as she jwould over the elaborate fancy gwork. or in the picture gallery. ‘She can study flowers as they ‘grow: she can breathe the good. gpure air of heaven. which inakes ; a healthy body»and that usually ‘makes a healthy soul—and she ‘can learn whatever she wishes. lntellectually she can control glieixself. and she may know. in books at least. the best trained jzmd fiiiest minds of the century. fHei'e there is no tlziiigci' of her f learning to speak slaiig.

Ml.-XRION HARLAND. “I was walking along the street the other day." says Dr. Holland, "when I met an elegaiitlydressetl lady and gentleinaii upon the foot- way. As I came within hearing of their voices—tliey were quiet- ly clivtting along the way — I lieard these words from the lips of the woman: ‘You may bet your life on that.‘ I was disgust- ed. A woman who deals only in superlatives deinoiistrates at once the fact that her judgment is sub- ordinate to her feelings. and that her opinions are entirely unreli- able. All language thus loses its power and significance. These very words are bi'0uglit- into use to describe a ribbon in a millin- er’s window. and they are also employed to do justice to Thal- berg‘s execution of Beethoven's most heavenly symphony. Let me insist upon this: Be more economical in the use of your mother tongue. If a thing is simply good. say so; if very pret- ty. say so; if fine, say so; if mag- nificent, say so; if grand, say so; if sublime. say so; if splendid. say so. These words have all different meanings, and you may use them all on as many different objects and not use the word ‘perfect’ once. That is a very large word.” ,_,__. )_f......,.,. ,. .. ,,,,,, _.,. . .. ._._m_ ...,__._.L _.__.__._...__...._ .._.__._s..__...-r»..»,. . . ...m~..........,.- «»,~,_¢»....,.—..« ......... .

All things without us are mere elements. but deep within us lies the creative force which out of these can produce what they were meant to be, and which leaves us neither sleep .

Starch factories are so thickly settled throughout Aroostook, Maine. and the industry has be- come so thoroughly a matter of our every day life that we sel- dom think of it as a matter of interest, except in a general way, and pass the cheap, unpainted buildings, with a glance perhaps. but hardly a thought. but half an hour of close observation may well be spent in one, and if we keep our eyes open. may afford much interest and some instruc- tion. Potato starch. though made of much coarser grains and conse- quently of much less value than other k1n(ls.is more easily separ- ated than any other, potatoes being over 90 per cent starch and water. The machinery for separating it is all simple, taking advantage of the fact that it is insoluble in cold water and much heavier. Let us go to the steep platform that leads to the front door and we find ourselves on the big scales where the loads are weighed and recorded as they come in. and in a room forty or fifty feet square, with several traps in the floor where the po- tatoes are dumped into the bins below. If we come in the busy season we often find them ten feet or more deep the whole size of the building. VVe pass through here and down a flight of stairs to the grater room. Here we find a man shov- eling the tubers into the washer, which is shaped like a long bath tub, with a round bottom and has at the top a shaft running lengthwise and revolving slowly. The shaft has arms projecting from it which reach nearly to the bottom and sides of the tubs. and these, as it revolves, stir the po- tatoes in the water which is con- stantly flowing through the tub, and at the same time gradually force them around toward the other end, where a large flat arm at every revolution throws some of them. now thoroughly clean. over the side into a kind of hop- per. Here they fall against the grater. which is precisely like the round potato grater we have all seen. except that it is as large as a barrel and about four feet long. This is revolving rapidly. and the potatoes melt away before it as fast as a man can shovel them in at the other end of the washer. Here we lose sight of them. but passing around the machine we find the. pulp 121$ dropped from the grater onto the upper end of a large wire screen or sieve. some six or seven feet long and made of brass wire cloth as fine as that used in milk pail strainers. This screen is not level. but the end where the pulp first falls is a little higher than the other and is kept shak- ing endwise so the pulp gradual- ly works down and off at the other end. but as it passes along it is washed by hundreds of fine streams of water falling on it from above. and this water wash- es out the. starch and carries it through the screen where it falls on a tiglit floor and runs down into the spout which we see com- ing from the lower end of the machine. The pulp drops from the lower end of the screen. and is thrown away, as it is here considered worthless. though in Germany and the older countries it is used for pig feed and as fertilizer. Having gotten so far we come to the open spout which carries away the starch ,mixed with a good deal of water. This spout branches at little way from the machine and leads to the settling vats, four or five in number, and each one as large as a good sized dining room. Here the starch. being much heavier than the water. settles and forms a depos- it some six or eight inches deep and hard enough for a man to walk on. though it is readily bro- ken up with shovels. The starch here is quite im- pure, and in settling has taken with it some dirt and some of the coloring matter of the potatoes which must be washed out. To do this it is shoveled into the stirrers, smaller vats with up- right shafts having a cross piece at the bottom; which being con- stantly turned with power thor- oughly mixes it with clean water, after which it is allowed to settle. As we come along the water has been drawn off from the stir- ring vats and men are hoisting the starch. which is now perfect- ly white. and looks as it is shov- eled up like densely packed snow. in baskets to the floor above, where it is loaded on trucks or barrows and wheeled over a long bridge to the dry house. Following the trucks we enter the dry house on the upper floor. which. all except a few feet around the sides. is made of slats an inch or more apart. over which the starch is spread. Through this immense regis- ter pours the heated air from four furnaces which are kept roaring hot all the time. The starch as it dries here. crumbles up and drops through the cracks to another rack or register below, and from that to others. some three or four in number till it reaches a tight platform about three feet from the floor. Below. the racks and furnaces are walled in from floor to ceil- ing. leaving a passage way or corridor six or eight feet wide around the building. At the ends the furnaces are fired. and along each side is a trough ex- tending the whole length into which the starch is drawn when dry, with long scrapers. From these it is shoveled into casks, weighed, marked and is ready to be shipped.—W. (".. in. Pres-quc Isle Stm‘. Oleo Money Did It. The farmers of Massachusetts organized a political league last fall and elected from every agri- cultural district a senator pledged to support a bill prohibiting col- oring oleomargerine like butter. This. with one or two friends among the city senators. gave a majority for the farniers. The bill passed the house by an al- most unanimous vote. But in the Senate two members went back on their pledges and on their record. so that the measure was lost by a tie vote. Oleo money did it. backed by trades among the city politicians. Lan- guage cannot express the indig- nation of farmers at thus being sold out for the third time. They propose to turn the poli- tics of the state upside down next fall. if necessary to do so to elect an honest butter Senate. The farmers‘ demands are so just and fair that workers in other vocations, as well as pro- fessional and business men. are ready to unite with the Massa- chusetts Farmers‘ League in electing a Legislature that will be true to the interests of the peOple.—F(u‘m.

A writer in the .l[erli('(II and .S'ur_r/[c-u/ .lozn-nu! says: "I have been using pure oil of turpentine in affections of the throat and lungs for some time. and find better and more satisfactory re- sults than from any other reme- dy I ever tried. I use the ordi- nary hand atomizer. and throw a spray of the liquid into the throat every few minutes. or at longer intervals. according to the gravi- ty of the ease. The bulb of the _ instriinieiit should be compressed ‘as the act of inspiration com- nieuces. so as to insure applica- tion of the whole surface. which can be done in the cases of child- ren very suscessfully. It is sur- prising how a. tliplitheritic mem- brane will melt away under an almost constant spray of pure oil of turpentine. I now use the turpentine spray whenever a child complains of sore throat of any kind. In cases of tubercu- losis of the lungs, bronchitis and the latter stages of pneumonia, I have found the inhalation of turpentine very beneficial. I use an atomizer, or paper funnel, from which the turpentine may be inhaled at will. I hang around the bed and in the room, flannel cloths saturated with oil of turpentine, and in all cases of catarrhal br0nchitis—in fact. in all affections of the ainpassages, and my patients invariably ex- press themselves as being much relieved.

June 16th. ED. VISITOR: Through the kindness of a friend I have received a copy of your interesting paper of the June 1st Issue. and In perusing its pages I have come upon the ad- dress of A. C. G., which appears upon the second page. and which he read before the Van Buren County Farmers‘ Institute. said address being headed "The Farmer and the Miller." After several preliminary flourishes. A. C. G. starts out with a supposition that the modern roller mill will produce more flour from a given quantity of wheat than the old style buhr mill would do. but all first-class millers iII this country. who have operated mills upon both the old , and new systelns. in winter wheat sectiotis. can truthfully testify that the modern system climin ates the impurities from the iiour and that the method tends to diminish rather that increase the yield of flour. The desire and aim of the modern Iniller has been. not to make larger yields of flour than by the old buhr system (for a good buhr mill would pro- duce all the flour obtainable from the wheat used) so much as it has been to produce purer and far better flour and to make the pro- per separations of the different grades. In my own long experience I have found by careful and re- peated tests that the old buhr system. under the supervision of a competent and skillful miller. has a decided advantage, in point of yield of flour. over the modern roller system and I find that my experience in this respect is con- firmed by the best millers who have tested the two systems. A. C. G. next attacks the schedule of toll rytes adopted or established by the Michigan millers. and says that under this schedule the miller is taking four pounds more out of every bushel of wheat than the law allows him and thus increases his duty (toll) to one-sixth instead of one-tenth as the law provides. Let us see how this is, and in doing so we will endeavor to treat the case fairly and truthfully, but with- out seeking to criminate either the farmer or miller. 1st. The average loss per bushel of wheat. of the fall sown varieties. (as it is taken from farmers wagons) and of good milling quality and standard grade is 2.4; pounds in the screen- ing and scouring processes, now employed in best modern roller mills. and the loss from evapora- tion and from dust escaping while converting the wheat into flour. bran. etc. is 2 lbs. per bushel or an aggregate loss of 31 lbs. per bushel. “_’d. In the states of Michigan. Indiana. Kentucky. Illinois and portions of Missouri and Ohio. comprising the territory east of the Missouri river. in which the softest varieties of winter wheat are grown. the average yield of flour frotn a bushel of wheat. No. 2 Grade (the highest grade in St. Louis. Chicago. De- troit and Toledo markets) is 43 pounds. from wheat grown upon sandy or gravel soil aIId having a thin bran. There is sometimes produced a yield of 44 to 44,‘; lbs. by the best class of roller mills. using pure long berry wheat of extra grade and varieties. but from wheat grown upon heavy or loam soil. frequently the yield will fall as low as 40 to 41 lbs. per bushel and in some instances even lower. including all grades. 43 lbs. therefore. is a very liberal average to allow in the soft win- ter wheat states. and taking this as the average yield. the wheat must be up to No. 2 standard grade. (More than one-half of the grist or exchange wheat brought to mill by farmers will not grade above No. 3 and frequently it would pass as No. 4 or rejected.) 3d. The average percentage of patent flour made from No. 2 soft winter wheat in the terri- tory named is 11}. or from 5 to 5% lbs. per bushel. but most mills that do a.n exchange business with farmers do not separate the patent from the staple (bakers) grade. but make what is termed a straight grade, for the exchange trade. that is. the patent and bakers‘ run together with the low grade out. This straight grade has been found to be the most satisfactory. to both farmer and miller. 4th. A fair average for all loca-lities in t-he winter wheat territory would be 4 lbs. of low grade per bushel of wheat. Now from A. C. G. we learn that the millers of Michigan give 38 lbs. of flour. 10 lbs. of bran and 2 lbs. of middlings for each bushel of sound wheat. I presume he means No. 2. standard grade. which must be sound and dry and reasonably well cleaned and test- ing not less than 58 lbs. to the measured bushel. For my part I fail to discern how the Michigan millers. and especially the Van Buren county millers. from the poor grade of 191%,). can afford to give the farmer the quantity of fiour. bran and middlings for cach bushel of wheat that A. C. G. gives them credit for doing. From the background of my ex- perience and knowledge in mill ing 1 can readily see that the miller does not derive his legal toll by the operation, I mean in cash value. Let us look farther into this schedule matter for we are al- ready beginning to see in it a decided advantage in favor of the farmer. The farmer brings his wheat to mill, the miller weighs and finds that wheat, dirt and all. weighs 60 lbs.; he puts it through the screening. scouring and reducing processes and it comes out in the form of flour and feed weighing 56% lbs. Of this taking the average yield as our basis) there are 39 lbs. high grade straight flour. 4 lbs. of low grade flour and 154} lbs. of bran and middlings. Of this the farmer gets 38 lbs. of the high grade flour and 12 lbs. of bran and middlings. leaving the miller 1 lb. of high grade flour. the whole 4lbs. of low grade and 1:} lbs. bran and middlings. a sickly re- muneration indeed for the miller. when we consider that the law allows him a full one-tenth of the products from the wheat after it has been well cleaned. Does the miller. who is working under this vexing schedule get his fair duty or toll? Will A. C. G. un- dertake to say. in candor and honor, that this miller is not giv- ing the farmer the lion’s share, and more than the farmer's just due. It is fair to presume that the law comtemplates that the mill- ers’ one—tenth shall be that in real value and not in the cheap- est products obtained from the wheat, such as the farmer does not want and will not have. Oh! this “honest farmer” does not want any low grade in his: no. no! He must have the full 38 lbs. from‘ the high grade bin. i the miller may dispose of his low grade as best he can. It is al—. ways a drug in the market and. hard to sell at any price. but‘ what cares the farmer for this if‘ he obtains his full quota from the high grade. quick selling flour. Oh! “Consistency, thou art a jewel" indeed. But let us pursue this milling expert farmer still farther in the wanderings after strange gods) and learn something more of the "millers reaching over into the farmer's sack." we are told about. With a presumption of high wisdom. he tells us that when wheat is selling at 73 cents per bushel the Iniller gets $5 per barrel for 20 per cent of his flour product (patent). $4 per barrel for 77 per cent (staple or bakers‘). and per barrel for 3 pence-nt (low grade). or a total of 25415 for 100 barrels of flour. which the miller has obtained. according to the hypothesis of A. C. G. from 4254 bushels of wheat costing him 73 cents. real- izing a profit (A. C. G. avers) of more than 43 per cent. I notice right here an error by A. C. G. against the farmer. If a bushel of wheat will make 47 lbs. of fiotm as he tells us. then 100 barrels can be produced from 417 bushels. instead of 42.3% bushels. This would bring the percentage of profit still higher than the 43 per cent he has figured out. I find by reference to and acare ful examination of reports from the best flour markets in this country. that when wheat was selling for 73 cents per bushel in central and southern Michigan and northern Indiana. (prices being the same in either state) flour would net the miller f. o. b. cars at his station. including the barrels or other packages. the following: Best western winter patents . . . . . . . . ..S4.Io per bbl “ " straight .. 3.80 “ “ " bakers .. .. 3.60 “ \Ve-stern winter low grades . . 1.90 “ The above prices I have taken from the very highest Chicago. New York. Boston. Philadelphia and Baltimore quotations, at the time wheat was 73 cents in Mich- igan. or rather in Van Buren county and vicinity. Had I struck the ayerage between the highest and lowest quotations at that time the following net prices to the miller would appear: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53.90 per bbl For straight _ , _ , , . , H 3.50 H For bakers . . . . . . . . . . .. 340 “ For low grades . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. I 35 Deducting cost of barrel (3?) cents) and we have the millers not price for his flour f. o. b. car at home. $3.25 and -‘$1.50 per barrel respectively. according to grade. The forego- ing prices arv taken from the re- ports of actual sales that were made at the time. and while they do not harmonize in any manner with the figures hypotheca-ted by A. C. G.. they are authentic and correct and hence reliable. For years the American Miller has been content and happy with 1;’) to 20 cents net profit on each barrel of .his flour. or a profit of 5 to 6 per cent in his business. A large proportion of the owners of modern mills are not to-day realizing even this small per cent. of profit. and I am informed by reliable persons in Michigan that the majority of Michigan millers have not been able in the past two or three years to keep their bank account even. from the profits in their business. The wanderings of A. C. G. through the wilds and mazes of conjecture to find something to support a feeble theory and only a theory. about the farmer and the millers «paying their debts does not demand any attention or reply as the facts do not warrant his assumption on these points. Now I am willing to submit both sides of the “farmer and the miller’’ question to a confer- ence of intelligent and honorable farmers and millers to investigate. consider and decide upon and I feel confident that their decision will be fair and just to all concerned and will not be made up of streaks of fancy. unsupported assertions. or criminal accusa- tions. Very respectfully, JAS. M. SERvoss. For patents. . Obituaries. COOK. BARNARD, June 13.
