TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
TUE r,AIIMERS.
A communication'in. the Towanda Re
riew says, "It is no disparagement of the.
orfarmers of this county to say
that the wheat grown` in Ohio and Min
nesota is superior in quality to our own,
and the floor manufactured from it Will
always have the preference, no matter
how much mill-owners invest in machin
ery. •It is quite evident Providence has
imparted to western wheat some excel.
lent qualities which hive lken withholder
from ours."
Owing, to the small size of our farms,
and the diversity of soil and the varied
treatment in its Cultait;" there exists a
lament - able lack'' of uniformity in the
quality of the wheat grown . in our county.
While admitting this much, I think that
I can say that I have seen samples of
winter wheat grown in our couuty which
Would compare favorably wiatany groWn
iu our land ! We cannot groW hard Min‘.
nesota spring wheat, and we need not try.
We can make a better bread, even If not
so white, than is made from that famous
berry. What we need. is more care in
selecting the best kinds of wheat, both
red or amber and white, each one con
sulting the peculi 'titres of his soil in its
adaptation to the crop, and then by the
best culture that we can give make it the
best that we can,•being careful to exclude
rye ; eockle r and chess finm the same field,
in all cases grow those crops in a field
separate, and keep those grains in separ
ate' bags when going to mill. If you will
do that Lwill promise you for the millers
of the county that you shall have satisfac
tory flour; and your wives anti daughters
will do the rest. •
TII E 3111,LE1LS
My training was on the farm. Circutu
stances, not inclination, has partly iden
titled me with your business. I know ful
well what you have to - contend with.
do not need to tell yon that you are mak
ing better wheat flour than much that is
sold Over your heads in this county, which
is merely a brilliant white, and has a lit
tle less bran in it, and you know that it
has very much less of the eanel or mid
dlinge in it, and that it is almost entirely
deficient in the gluten which goes to make
th 4 best part of the bread. You know,
in shoit, that the middlings is run off by
itself, care being . taken by high grinding
to make as much as possible of that best
art of the wheat into the when purified
peatd-like looking product, and that the
starch which bolts on the first run of the
chop is scut away from the place where
it-is made, and sold. without explanation)
the consumer thinking from its fair com
plexion that it is a very nice flour, because
it is white, and this gratifies the - pride of
the housewife by making her bread look
fair. I am identified with you -in feeling
as well as in ffct. I invite your co-opera
tion in aiding the to drive the above de
scribed erookeijiour out of our markets,
or otherwise• compel dealers to show ,its
true colors, b informing consumers what
it is.
Whether kn wingly or not, every prom
inent dealer in wheat flour in our county
has sold it at some time. I have found it
in every
. towif which I have visited, and
in one case when instructing a dealer as
to its character, be informed me that I
talked too much and perhaps I did, and
now do, but come and see our mitt, and
be cautioned, by its mistakes, that you
may'protit where I have lost.

i 411 E POPULAR MERCK MONTEILY 'FOR
Auniavr, 1880.—The August Popular
Science Monthly begins with an article by
Mr. HENRY GEORGF of San Francisco,
on "The KEARNEY l'igitation in Calif Or-,
ilia." Mr. GJEORGE is author of a work
of much power that has lately Attracted a
great deal of attention, called " Progreiis
,and Poverty." Ile is a keen analyzer of
social conditions,. and has long given close
attention to California, affairs. His esti
mate of KEARNEY and his history of the
movements connected. with him are full
if new considerationsf, He shows that
the matter has not been at all generally
understood, and his study of the political
development of California is profoundly
anti painfully instructive. Mr.,:.GEonog
maintains that California insteactof being
an exceptional State, is truly a represen-•
tative State of the American system, and
its'affairs should be regarded from this
point of view. :This article will excite
'great attention. The fascinating essay
of M. Itanau on "The Interior of the
•Earth " is completedin this number. Ile
'treats of solcanoes, holding them to be
irrefragable proofs of subterranean fire.
The number of volcanoes discovered con
stantly increases. We know of several
thousand, three hundred and twenty

interior liquidity is impartially Summed
up. A paper entitled " The Method :of

determining the course of human affairs.
" The Cinchona-Forests of South Ameri- 1
ca" and "Types of the Nugian Race"
are natural history articles in different
fields, but extremely readable. Under
the title of "Algebras, Spaces, Logics,"
G. B. flai t trrEn gives us a curious report
on the progress of the higher sciences.
Miss E..A. Youst.iNs describes Professor
RAIN'S method of teaching chemistry in
common schools, and gives an illustration
of his apparatus. "The Extreme' Rarity
of Prematdre Burials," " The St.' Goth

"Eruptions," are first-rate popular sci

enjoyable than Professor JOY'S sketch
of the life of FREDERICK WOULER, the

Ae niithing of ,very" great importance
hap occurred since our last correspond
ence, e., no deaths, no marriages, no
births, no fighting, nobody killed,•no one
drunk that has came to the knowledge of
the_writer, I have concluded to give your
readers a description of Smithfield now
ag it is. . •
The little village is situated on the
(not "a thousand hills"), in the center
of Smithfield township, distrnce - twelve
miles from everywhere, (I mean Towanda,
Troy, Wellsburg, 'Waverly, etc.,) and six
miles from every other place. It contains
about three hundred inhabitants, and
about sixty-Ave or seventy dwellings. It
has four churches, viz : Disciple, Baptist,
Congregational and Methodist, all well
tilled every Sunday morning at the same
hour. There is also a graded school
, building, which is an "ornament to our
place ; and when school is in sesssion,
(which. will be three weeks froth to-day),
it contains-from ono hundred and fifty to
two hundred pupils, and from three tra
four teachers.
The business part of , tbe town is com
posed of four drug stbre.s. One hardware,
one grocery, one small drug store, two
millinery shops, one -hotel, one harness
,shop, and one wagon and three or four
blacksinith shops, a foundry, cheese fac
tory, ancl4 few other places of business.
In thef'professional line there are, two
lawyers, live preachers, three doctors,
and I might say; one undertaker ; the last
two not having much business at present
there being general 'time of heallh •in
this vicinity.:

would be - _such a rallyihg of the Detho

I thought I would be there; too ; so I
Went early to see the hickory pole escort
ed into town, expecting a great display
with music and banners. After waiting
about an himr, it was announced that the
procession was in sight. -I gat myself iuto
an elevated- position to witness the great
display, and. soon saw theLteam coining
with the pole in two parts loaded on the ,
wagon. But where was the procession ?
As
,the team approached the town I raw
that it belonged to a Republican living in
the borough of Alba—and the procession
consisted of one horse and buggy with
two Democrats in it, and they wore be
hind the pole in the place for the mourn
ers I Not pall-bearers ahead. ' The pole
was a lidry Mee hickory; grown on the
farm of
,a staunch Republican ; it was
brought up before the . hotel and placed 'in
a horizontal position, the butt pointing to
the south and the top piece to the north,
when- the work of splicing began. Col.
WILSON obserk.ti to . Col. J. P. M F-VN 14,
, the orator of The dap, tient it was a very
nice pole and the most appropriate one he
bad ever seen to represent thel-Dernocratic
party. The butt and body lay to the South,
which represented the main body of the
Democratic party, and thetip end spliced
on well represented . the'' weaker part of
Democracy- . —the North. All preparations
being completed, the pc* was raised in
