anxiety mntfetd by the farmers a tut ti.a nltinnta elVect of dammies on the!

quality of the grain, induoe.l the ll.lah Milling Company and S gial Service Observer to send a joint Inter of iuqutry to the State Agricultural Experiment Station at Lafayette. To tills. Dr. Horace B, Stookbridge, Ph. I)., director of the station, kindly and prompt y senJa the following answer: "So far as the question of the mildew Jhz of wheat s concerned, I mud say that our experience moU emph.itusnlv kui-c mil th oi)inini of fanner, as rx

pressed by you. We have lound thai wheat c nnot either mildew or tie.it except when wet, and Out a cousi lenudv decree of moisture U necessary o omUm : phenomenon. To prevent the nnldew jug or musting leured, thorough dryma of the grain is nil that U necessary. During the pud six years a part of oui wheat crop has mora than once been in a condition practically identical will, that you doacr bed, yet our crop h-ts in. rariably sold for the highest maiki price. Wh ii thus trouhlul, we have dried the sr.iin exactly as you say the farmers of vour county are now doing 1 may, moreover, add that our wheat fea a national reputation and is to a considerable extent, deposed of a teed wheat, with the best of salislau. t'ton to purchasers. So far a? the weevil is concerned, there is no doubt but thai heat furthers uronngatiou and uiultipli

cation and that the presence of moirftuiv increases the temperature. After the grain ha been dried, however, no further danser of damage c in exist. I be lieve I have uow covered all the ground embraced by your queries, aud the opiuious etated are based on the actual experience not only of the station stall' but of good fanner in many localities." That is information direct, positive, plain and satisfactory from the highest j and moat reliable authority. Our far-i

wer readers are auvHeu ana sirougiy urged to profit by the advice given, and instead or rushing their damp wheat to mirkt and aellin? it for what it will

New York World: By the recent purchase of Chesapeake and Ohio stock asmallproupof tneu who already owned two of the enit and west trunk lines have secured a third, and with it practical control of trunk Hue trafic. The incident U a frenh reminder of the industrial and sociul revolution in the midst of which wa live, the ever increasing concentration of wealth and of the means of producing wealth in the bands of an ever diminishing class of aea in a word, the resistless growth of onopoly and of aa all controlling aoaey power. This revolution has advanced cnornonsly since men uow in middle life first became men, but its growth of reeent year has been steadily more and wore rapid. It early eliminated the small industrial proprietor the village blacksmith, hatter, shoemaker, tailor, tinsmith, and the like and it has now pretty nearly eliminated even the larger proprietor who succeeded the independent worker ot a generation ago. The manufacturing firm took the place of the

small shop-worker; the corporate manu-i

facturing company crowded out the vXIOlVM. firm : a combination of corporate interests ' mm . m. c

HANDSOME DRESS GOODS,

im arerv industrial center srainod control!

of the whole town's business; and uow the trusts are taking possession of the corporate properties and arbitrarily regulating production. . Precisely the same thing is happening with railroad linen aud all other agencies t ef wealth production and weatlh distribut ion. The tendency is to reduce so

ciety to two classes the employer class,

eoesistingofafewenormotHl rich men,

'asd the eiuployed class, including all the

. rest of the people. In such a condition of things the em

ploying class will necessarily rule.

Their number will be so small that unit

ed action will be easy, and they will

bold every man's fate in the hollow oi their hands. Democratic forms of gov

ernment will serve their purpose as well as any other, for the control of these forms iu such circumstances will be

easy.

Thus the tendency of the times is to tbe

institution of an arbitrary, despotic, plu tocratic class rule, governing by the ma

chinery mf a republican system. The

problem of the time is to discover mean $

of checking this tendency and keeping

democratic uoerty aitve.

Major I. U. Blud, who lives north nf

MiKsisaippian by birtb. His fathsr was a slave-holder and a believer in the CHtna

of the South, Politics led to a separation of the family, one of tbe sons who

stoutly stood for the Union, leaving iha

paternal root and coming north in his teens. When Lincoln called for men this son was prompt to respond. In the service to which he thus gave himself I a

oecame a Major, aud it ia through him that this storv has beinar. During th-

war he learned that hie father aad brothers bad enlisted in the Confederate

armies, and when the Major with his company was a part of the investing

lines that held the starving MissuslD-

piatis within the fortifications of 'Vicktburg, he wondered if any of bis own kith

aud kin were in front of the guns. "I have just received word that my old father is dead," be said, "ne left a

patter which was to be opened after his

death. It is a strange document, aa you

will see. In it he aaka for a reconcilia

tion of his children estranged since 'Go

by the war. One clause, directing particular attention to me, says: I can not go to my grave without asking your forgiveness for suppressing bo

long my parental love. There is no rea

son wny our ramuy should longer be apart. Our bet Southern blood explains our conduct. There is but one ac of excessive vindictiveaees that heeds to be

explained. 1 was iu charge of a battery at Vicks

burg in front of your command. On tbe SBth of June you made aa aeeault upon

the works. We were short of battery supplies. Our last fuse bad beea fired. We bad neither torch aor match. You know, perhaps, that your sister Kate, then a young girl, followed me ail through the war. She would not leave me. You know also the peculiar physical energy and subtile force that characterise our blood. If you will go beck to early days before we had beard ranch of electricity or "spiritualism" you will remember hew all of yea children used to rork tables and chairs by a power you could not explain and bow Kate used to comb sparks otT of her hair to the terror ot the colored people. Well, in our deperatien that dy in the trenches. I determined to have Kte fire the cannon if tbe worst came. By rubbing her hands or leet over a rough cloth or by stroking her hair she could charge herrself with electricity aud discharge it off the end of her finger in

sparks. When you came up against our

breastworks mat flay (v iitti not turn know thai you led the column) we were

without means or nring upon you.

"Kate," I called. "Yes, eir," she answered, comprehend

ing without further words Stepping up to oae of the grin a, eh peered through the port hole at the advancing column ot

blue coals. I saw her turn pale and falter, and her eve wan fixed upon an ob

ject outside. I looked and ntw vou in

the van ot your ran km, lairly in front of our cannon. I was dazed but only for an instant. Our men were beginning to yield, aad your troops, meeting feeble resistance, were coming on triumphantly. "Do your duty, Kate," I said, and the girl, eetting her teeth together, rubbfd her hand twice over ber rough jacket, and lightly struck the old fashioned cannon right at the touch-hole where a little pile of powder bad been poured. There was aa instant discharge and result confusion ia tba Federal lines. I do not know, unless Providence came directly to your aid, how you escaped. But I loved my State, and we thought we were right, boy. You need never to have known this; for few aw it, and tbey are gone. But a father's returning affection compels me to tell sli. la the fierce love we had for eur caute we would have sacrificed yon. I thank God that ia the fearful rain of shot that day vou were spared. Kate iivee to join ia this request that you forgive. "There is nothing in this to excite any incredulity," tbe Major said ia speaking of the letter. "My father is right. All oar family are human electric batteries. Let me give you aa illustration." Tbe Major aat down, pulled off a shoe and stocking and craped bis bare foot on the carpet a few timet. Taming on
