Wheat—What it Costs per Bushel : Enp. Baxxer:—There seems to be’ an unceasing complaint' of the low ‘price of wheat, coupled with the assertion that it costs the farmer more. %o maise a bushel of wheat than he cam sell it for atthe presemt price—manging frem $1.15 to $1.20 per bushel. Now if t'hls was so, there would | ‘be some excuse for paying interest on _mmoney, taxes on the wheat, and ‘stav- : ing off their creditorsin hope of such ‘time as they could realize a profit on Sheirlabor and investment. Buf what ‘are the facts? Having taken some ‘trouble to get figures from several peactical and successful farmers in % jis vieinity, I will give you, for the henefit of “all whom it may concern,” the highest ] have yetreceived of the ~eost ‘of raising and marketing one Ez "of wheat, includipg taxes, etc. _And I may add that the party giving _ihem, when asked what it cost to raise _a bushel of wheat, said that “he nevp} figured it. but at ah average of 15 pumshels per acre, he was confident ' that it cost at least 31.00 per bushel.” ' Jmdge of his sarprise when confronte witlvhis own figures, which hesaid . weré amplé. and are herewith submitted - .

- To SeELECT A SoUND HOrßsE—The “mﬂnsers of horses for the French - atmy, it is said, always endeavor to _ obtain a first look at the animal when 'he is tranquil in the stable, noting if ke supports himself equally well on . all his legs, and if one seems to yield 'to carefully examine {it. Attention g{mthen ‘directed to _lal'rgen-}:‘ss of the. | pupil of the eye, which’ ought to be i‘mre dilated when in the stable than . when exposed to full light. After the _ animal has been led out of the stable, % his eyes ought to be examined to see |if the pupil has contracted. If it has - pot, the sight is feeble. Others, to | test the power of vision, feign to strike the forehead with the hand. |lf the hollow over the eyes be profound, and the temple gray, old age is obe concluded. Wounds aboit ‘the | temple suggests attacks of staggers, - and when tlie end of the nose presents . xircudar sears, it may be toncluded _ iliat the horse has been twitched with

a cord to énsure his quietness ‘while being shod or having.had fo snbmit 1 seme painful operation. R

s n{bp:rﬂéﬁ AND n’xi:w:‘i.f e Our experience has proved that Pulmonary Consumption is produced. in a great many instances by a primary affection of.the Liver, and is, generally speaking, one of the- principal «causes for its so frequent prevalence, | in this climate. Many persens_suffer more or less from 4 deranged state of the Liver, which in its early stages does not interrupt them in their daily pursuits, therefore allowed to go on from year to year and convey the diseases direct to the lungs. pe The necessity under these circumstances of thosé‘who suffer from an affection of the Liver resorting to proper treatment for relief as early as/possible cannot but be apparent to all. We do not wish to be understood that a primary affectiontof the Liver, is -invariably the exclusive cause of pulmonary consumption. Many oth-. .er causes may exist favoring such re: sults, as hereditary disposition, asthma, catarrh, throat affections, and-the result of acute ‘diseases, as' fevers, pleurisy, inflammations, injuries tothe breast, &c., &es The. direct actiont pf digeases, upon the lungs, in. ordinary cases, in the {first instance .is: debility. The patient soon looks pale and wan, the blood has left the sur- i face-of thé hody—the powers of the i heart become diminished, and render- | ed incapable of throwing the blood to | \ the surface except when the heart be- ‘ i comes so completely gorged as' to | produce reaction, as witnessefiin hec-: f tic .fever. The heart béati{;'apidly, pulsations offen high, it Tappears like ! a strugglimg to keep alive the circula- l tion. "No 6 free volume -of blood is i thrown eithver to the skin or lungs. J

Under thése circumstances it is impossible that the blood should become ("iecarbo‘nizéd,hence its depraved chatacter is constantly increasing, becoiming less, able to sustain either the mngsculaf, nervous or: glupd_ular- Systems. The ulcer upon the lungs continues to.waste them away until they can no ‘longer perform their office, anil death closes the scene. ‘ The blood is thrown from the lungs at 'év_'ers; Xj)ulsafiolx-, being again returned from the heart. If the lungs are weak, they are unable to expand ‘and contract sifficiently to force the ‘blood from them to ‘the heart as. fast “as the heart throws it to them ; hence the arteries, veins, and capillary Vessels become filled and extended with blood: in consequence of which the lungs become swollen, and “there is “uiot sufficient room: in the chest to expand, hence shortness: of breath or difficulty in breathing. When the luhgs- are thus distended with blood, upon some éiighti‘exe:tion‘ as coughing, some of their small vessgls be: come ruptured and blood is discharg-, ed from the meuth, called “bleeding of the lungs.”. When the lungs. are disevased,; their whole texture is _weéxk —and. in this state the injury to be created by inhaling tubes, cannot but ‘be evident to all. By the-use of tlie tube the lungs become highly inflated with air, and ‘their czu",i,bies ‘widely distended. -The distention and cop-sequent-compression by:their mucous ‘tissues . and membranes, force -the ‘blood from {hem back again to the heart, by which means the lli_ngs are relieved, and should the lungs- have sufficient strength-to stand the; violent action of the inhaling tube the’ patient may be made to feel "better. Bat. if a portion of either being disposed to ulcerate, or the blood too thick to flow freely, the blood vesgels' may be ruptured, and serious mischief follow. - =~ i

~ Various gases, vapors, ete., thave from time immemorial beén. inhaled with but t,riﬂin‘g benefit. The. prineiples and' practice we adopt for the cure of Pulmonary Consumption are in accordance With the views above set forth. 1t requires that the ‘blood charging the lungs should be induced to 'quit them, that it should be. induced to circulate in its natural channels, upon the surface of the body; free circulation in the hands and fept be established; a determination from the lungs into the system must be brought about, not” only for a short time, but for a length of time, and until you -can by the use of internal mediciqusire_n‘dgér the b}god ixealthy, and allow the lungs te recover sufficient strength to enablé them to perform their oflice. It is the weakness of the lungs which produces the difficulty and this -cannot be overcome whilst the accumulations of .blood in the lungs are constantly exhausting their energy and rendering them still weak‘er. They mustbe relleved from rhig ‘aeccumulation or consumption cannot-be cured. S,

‘: Any inducement to the lungs must ‘necessarily increase diseased action,. itis not to the lungs but from the } limgs‘irﬁo.the system, that'is required ; if absorption from the lungs can be ~accomplished, what is the result that must, foliow ?- - Will not the lungs become less charged with blood? Will not the swelling become- less:and the difficulty of breathing. tliereby be obviated? Will not the ulcers on them by this absorption become daily smaller, by the effusions from the lungs into the nlcers formed upon them becoming less and less; and will not the .uleer finally close? And if the blood be freed from virus will not the disease be cured ? The means we employ induces/ blood - from the lungs and ipternal organs to the surface of the body, and keeps it circulating there, by which action the patient can breath more freely, expectoration thicken and become less, irritation -lessened, cough diminished, while at the same time we are purifying the bload, and eventually effecting a cure, Do not linger, trusting to. an uncer-. tainty untitstrength is exhausted and the disease becomes so firmly fasten‘ed as to prevent those means, which if resorted to at an earlier ‘period,’ might have restored to health. L - We bave devoted our entire energies to the treatment of chronic diseases, such as diseases of the lungs, t_hngoat,‘ liver, heart, stomach, kidneys and bluod, for yéars, and during the time that we have been engaged in the specialty, we have had ample opportunities for investigating the causes, symptoms, tendency; and treat‘ment of such ailmeénts.

THE FAR WEST.

- A Mounfain Court Scene. "'old Job Dawson had been duly elected to fill the responsible position of a Justice of the Peace, and this was the first case which had demanded his attention. Job was an old veteran mountaineer and had lived in the shadow of the lofty peaks, hunting, trapping and fighting Indians, to use his own words, “sense Adam was a kid.” In that rough region an accusation of a great crime against any one is but a forerunner of a “banging bee,” and ‘a trial even is seldom thought of. "But in the present instance a wild “cuss” who had been frequenting the settlements had appropriated a “broncho” (Indian pony) belonging to a neighboring ranchman, and. had been pursued, ecaptured and brought back. Old Job was summoned to try the eulprit, and a spot in a rocky guleh. near the ’Squire’s. cabin was selected as the site for the investigation. A motley crowd of hunters, trappers, miners and rancheros had assembled. Some were lying upon the ground and others sitting upon thie rocks, all anxiously awaiting the ’Squire’s coming. Job soon came from toward his cabin, and with a dignified air sea@ed himself .upon a boulder, took off his hear-skin cap, and said: : S © “Fellers, the court ar’ ready to git down to biz, an’l want ye all to cheese yer racket an’ let up on that chin musie according to law.. Throw yer ha'tin sight and pay ’tention to the court.” : f 5

Every hat came oft at his command and “his Honor,” glancing around the circle, said: e - “Whar is the dam cuss ?”

Three mountaineers, armed with Henry rifies and six-shooters, -stepped forward with the thief, a young man wearing a bold, devil-may-care expression. His hands wére securely fastened. behind his back with buckskin thongs. Clad in buckskin from head -to foot, he presented a: picturesque appearance as he faced the ’Squire: k 7l i - +W’at do they eall you when: yer at home ?” asked the court. ,

“Ain’t got enny home, leastways in these parts,” sullenly.replied the prisoner. ' 5 ’ i

““Ain’t hey? Well, what's the name you ‘tuk w'en you left the States, then ?” .

- “The boys hyer on the hills call me Tiger Jim.” - | s : “Wall, Tige, yer spotted as a horse thief, ani’ I reckon thar’s sumthin’ in it or the boys wudn’t brought you in. You -can’t expect a tony trial like you'd git down to Laramie or eny o’ them -towns ralong -the road. We deven’t eny paper, pens or ink, or eny v’ that sort o’ foolishness up hyer in the -hills, an” thar ain’t one o’ .us as could engineér ’em et we had, so we'il jist grind her through, an’ do the best we kin for you.

Yer k'rect, Tiger, but gess. eny meniber o’ the body’ll be ’cordin’ to law =i ‘Xtreme cases.— Stedy him a little, fellers, so’s he Kin Lold ap his right foot.” “Pige” raised his mocecasin-covered foot while a guard on each side held himn in position.

“Now, then, L.aln’t fly' on them ’ar lawyers affydavys, but, I’ll make her stout enuff to-hold a Mexican mule. Tiger Jim, do you swar by the holy Mosses; accordin’ to the laws . of" Wyoming Territory, that every time’ ve chip in yer racked ye’ll give us the squar’ truth, -An’ ef you don’t doyou hope that ye may git chawed up by a grizzly, chopped to” pieces by Sioux,; strung up to a pine with a rope 'roun’s yer dam thiev’n neck an’ fail to .connect in heaven w’en yerlife goes out, to the best o’ yer understandia’ as provided by law, s’help yer God, he?” - “That’s jist w’at I does, pardy.”

That magic word “mother” had awakened tender recollections in the breasts,of every one of those hardy mountaineers, ' Men who could face death in any shape without a particle of feeling did not try to ‘hide their tears at tlie mention of that sacred name, mother! How sweet it sounded in their ‘ears. It carried them back to the happy days in the past:when they were Dlessed with tii# I)ve of parents before the insatiable thirst for gold had led them into these mountain wilds. Not a word was spoken for a few seconds, and then old Job drew his horny hand across his watery eyes and said in a husky voice: s At

“Lige, yé w’uldn’t break an oath, w'ud ye ?” i ; “No, Job Dawson, not for friend or foe. 'Phar ain’t a boy in the hills as can say thet Jim ever went back on ‘even his given word.

England, in his report upon the sanitary condition of that town during 1874, makes the follewing remarks in reference to street trees: ' . - L T

In the formation of mnew streets, and on the eve of the contemplated ‘widening and alteration of old ones, it is to!be ‘hoped that an effort may be made to provide for the planting and establishment of trees wherever practicable. The vleasing appearance of verdure in summer, and the agreeanleness of the shade afforded by the foliage to pedestrians, are benefits to the inhabitants well worth the effort: and the ¢ost. Whoever has visited the boulevards of continental towns, or even the squares- of' London, can testify to the advantages of verdure as offering pleasure to the eye and gratification to the mind. Moregver, from a sanitary point of view, the benefits are of incalculable value. It has been asserted that the aggregate surfaces of the leaves of well-grown . elm, lime and sycamore trees, with their 6,000,000 to 7,100,000 leaves, is equal to about 200,004 square feet, Jr‘;ubout five acres; and these are almqst constantly absorbing and digesting the carbonic’acid and various exhalations given off by the putrefaction ‘of animal and vegetable matter, and, as_if ‘grateful for such support, return into the air pure oxygen, which reinvigorates and renews animal life, Trees thus remove poison from our midst, and to be without them is an oversight. Trees can be had which will exist, with suitable attention, in .any part of the city. Why not, with all the above facts before us, have them and try them?

NEwsurY Twe., Feb, 15, 1876, - EplTorß BAXNER:—PIease find enclosed the stamps for THE BANNER another year after my time expires, atthe fdthpumber, . = = As“good roads” seem to be the topic of the day, I will give you my opinion ou the matter. Every man that has a grain of enterprise about him. will be.in favor of good roads. But the question ig, how are we to have them ? We should élect none but the best and most experienced ‘in road-making for supervisors. ‘There is a elass of men that work just to get their time in, caring but little about the road, and we should see that we elect supervisors who will be a little more strict. ‘We are taxed to death now, and have to labér and tug and scrape to get them paid, without adding any more, while many of our families are in need of the necessaries of life. We need retrenchment in every departnent of our Government and more economy. . e

As for the repealing of our presez . road law and ‘the adopting of a sys-' tem such:aB was pictured out through the columns of THE BANNER several weeks ago, we think it would be very detrimental to dur roads; from the fact that if we were to pay our roadtax in money and have it expended by a few persons in a township, roadmaking would soon become a matter of speculation, and some one must get rich walking about the town. Then there would be rings formed, and the consequence would be that in a short time our roads would be as “crooked” as our whisky now is. My impression is, that every step our Leg‘islature takes to improve our road law is a step from bad to worse. ‘ . . g CrLop HOPPER.

We could not contradict him, and we were powerless to vindicate the elaims of our city. : ; He lett us saying if he had time he would look around, but this was no place for him. : : ~ This is only one instance and a fact. A Ration of Beer Drinkers. .London Qorrespondence Springfield Republcan Messrs. Bass & Co., brewers of Burton ale, paid the railway carriers, last year, $lB.OOO a week for freight charges upon their goods. As they are not the largest firm in the traffic, it can be guessed what the largest firm pay. Certainly not less than $20,000. - How much beér is drank in London every'day? We cannot tell exactly, but as there are 10,000 taverns, ‘we' can_venture to:calculate thera is not less than an.average of 25 gallons in each, and decidedly not less than 250,000 in all. There is a.small inn close to the London general postoffice where 185. gallons of stout are retailed every day, while one opposite the Bank of ringland gets rid of not less: than 200 gallons. A not’ very lﬁt‘rge heer saloon close to the Great Northwestern Railway depot lately. sold its good will for $50,000. Many very. quiet-looking beer houses have a wagon load of ale and stout every morning. The load is never less than a’ dozen to a dozen and a half thirty-six gallon barrels. Certain houses, such as the “Elephant and Castle,” the “Red Cap,” “Adelaide,” “Mother Shipton,” “Royal Oak,” *“Aagie,” and “Angel,” could not be bought under a moderate fortune, and.would be cheap at that, so enormous is their trade,

‘THE hard times have driven even cigar smokers to economize. Tive cent cigars are becoming quite fashionable, and men who a short time ago would have erected their noses at anything of a lower grade than ten cents are now fain to indulge in the cheaper luxury. They claim with some show of probability that cigar manufacturers have been obliged to make a better article at that price than formeﬂ;f\and the strife between them is who shall make the best, so that the smoker gets the benefit. The dealers all claim to have the cheap cigar that gives the best - satisfaction, but as we have not been the rounds we shall not’say which carries off the palm.— Elkhart Review. |

. Wash MecLean’s Organ. (From the Vincennes Sun.) #e The Fort Wayne Sentinel, and newspapers of that ilk, are informed that, 80 far as we are concerned, there shall be no “harmony” in the democratic party, if money-lenders and bond-hold-ers are going to plant the democratic party on a republican platform. We want no harmony which betrays and sells out.the laboring, producing masses of the West. We don’t proposq‘t to keep silent nor lay our mouth in the dust for the sake of that kind of ;")iar—mony.” We have right and jlis*ice, and the pebple on our side, and we propose to keep moving.—-—()tncimfati Enquirer. ; - Ll You mean that you want no, harmony unless you and Wash M'cLﬁan can have your own way, and run the democratic party on a rock.

- ACaw To Newspaper Advertisers and Business o e - In 1865, weorganized an agency to make contracts for the insertion of advertisements in the journals of the country. ; Starting in & small way, our business haa grown from year to year, until we are now the guthorized and trusted agents of more than 5,000 newspapers, and include among cur patrons fully three-fifths of all New York advertisers who ‘do advertising in journads-printed out of New York City. Tuis is a statement which we believe all our eompetitdrs will admit—although there ave more than fifty other parties engaged in the newspaper advertising agency business in this eity. ) ; Almning to still further inctease our business, we snbmit a few of the reasons which we think onght to have weight with intelligent advertisers (for whem we mainly do huginess) : : let. A varied and extended experience. :

.2l An organization fortransacting busirews promptly, whether with one newspaper o g thounsand. 5 e

24, The certainty that we can always iocure the hest terms. : :

tih. The employment of experienced and exille] labor in every department, 80 as to cxdente the very best work without additional expense to. the advertiser, and at the shartest notice. /

' th. Being in daily. communication with ‘the lesJing newspapers, and the largest patrons of most of them, we are confident that thereally leading newspapers through« 'out, the country do now give us more business confidence than ‘they do to any other parties whatsoever. A special canvasser is necessarily the agent of but ‘one party, and, being so, invites distrust ; and intelligent advertisers npaturally must know that an pgency covering a wide field, having the confilente of publishers, should or ought _iohave the best claims for the best terms, and shouid be dealt with on a higher plane, and on more liberai terms than could reasonably he asked for by parties having but few patrons and & limited patronage. o A good tailor or a good shoemaker gets/a good price for his work—because of some special skill or ability ; but, ‘in newspaper advertising;: good work costs only the same as poor work, the price being determined hy the space’ occupied, and fixed by publishers according to their own standard. Thusa card of four inches, whether well or ill done, costs the same, whilé in actual re'sult there can be no comparison. |,

' The value of an advertisement is not so much in its size or the frequency with which it is printed, as in the completeness with which it supplies the desired information to the reader. : : i

T'o address @ newspaper audience, 80 as to. secure their attention, requires skill and experience; and to he able to do so from day to day is a labor requiring much ingenuity and constant study. - ¢ Caye' should be taken to see that every advertisement expresses a buisness idea clearly and definitely, so as to be easily remembered. Tt should be conspicuous, and care should be taken to see that under all civcumstances this quality be maintained. We pay attention to the preparation of attractive advertisements to be inserted in choice positions in the leading newspapers of the large cities, including New York. . : ‘For this class of advertising, cheapness is a word which cannet be considered. To procure conspieuous positions, to attract the eye and secure the confidence of those who read the great journals, is work fer which every advertiser who has first-class goods todispose of can afford-to pay. Printed proofs are prepared for the approval of the advertiser, before publication, when requested. ' An invitation te purchase in the columns of a newspaper should aim to attract the attention, and an effort shonld be made to have it fresh, conspieuous, and: so written a 8 to invite intelligent readers. Merchants frequently throungh ill-advised advertisements disincline strangers from = visiting their stores, whereas the only purpose of advertising is to invite just that kind eof trade. i i

Newspaper advertising may be compared to a vigilant and watchful salesman, who ‘woes after business early and late, gayiny only the right thing in the right place and gt the right time. i Until within a few years, advertisers had but little or no means of knowing the names of the best journals for their busjness privted owt of the locality where they livel. o organizing our business, we determined that weiwonld make an ‘effort to ramedy this defsct ; that, in the interest of both pubiisher and advertiser, we would raake complele list of all the newspapers in ihe conuntry, combining” the fullest and latest imformution as to circulation, ete., and, if possible, lift the business of newspaper advertising into a respectable commissien. business, basing onr claims. for compensation on the increased business which would naturally result from increased facilities. We are of the same mind now.. The result proves the soundnessof our resmoping.. o e !

. We seek the patronage of business men, of nrerchauts, and manufacturers, the skilled srtisan, and the thrifty and inventive maechanic, the earnest-worker in every pursuit, ronfident that, by our perfected facilities for every kind of newspaper advertising, we can do better work for less money than it is possible for private parties to do, and better work than can be done by any other agency in this country ; and our reasons are that, when an intelligent man wants to purchase .anything, he buy§from parties whose standing in their several callings is a guarantee for the guality of their wares.

~T'en years ago Mesars. Geo. P. Rowell & (0. established their advertising agency in New York City. Five Yyears ago they ab. goebed the business conducted by Mr. John Hoaper, who was the first to go into this kind of enterprise. Now they have the satisfaction of controlling the most exten. pive and complete advertising connection which has ever been‘secured, and one which would be hardly possible in any other vonntry but this. ' They have succeeded inworking down a complex business into se _thoroughly a systematic method that no change in the newspaper system of America can escupe notice, while the widest infore matien upon all topics intex‘esting'to advers tisews is placed readily st the dispesal of the publie.” ' Shms i ' : S(ﬁle;‘il;d‘C;);l;lllkl’iims. v What is the largest room in the world ?—The room for improvement.
