Harvester vs. Binder It is admitted that California wheat is more or less deficient in gluten, a property essential to the making of first-class bread. To overcome this, millers import wheat from other states where the gluten properties of the grain are strong and by mixing with the home product obtain a flour that is very satisfactory. In the meantime the California university, as the result of an agitation commenced a few years ago by the state board of trade, is experimenting by breeding and selection, under the able direction of Prof. G. W. Shaw of the agricultural college, with the view of producing a wheat in this state that will contain all the qualities essential to the making of first-class bread. Grain-breeding in other states has resulted in marvelous improvement both in yield and quality, and there is little doubt but the efforts of the agricultural department of the state university, if properly encouraged, will result in great benefit to the grain-growers of California. In the meantime, however, some farmers and newspapers have advanced that one of the main causes of deterioration in the gluten and other properties of the California wheat is due to our methods of harvesting. It has been suggested that here, where the combined harvester is so commonly used, and where the grain must stand in the field until dead ripe in order that it will thresh clean at the time of be- advanced that one of the main causes of deterioration in the gluten and other properties of the California wheat is due to our methods of harvesting. It has been suggested that here, where the combined harvester is so commonly used, and where the grain must stand in the field until dead ripe in order that it will thresh clean at the time of being cut, some of the properties dry out of the grain in the ripening process, and that by going back to the reaper and binder and cutting the grain before it is dried out and allowing it to mature in the shock and sweat in the stack, we will find the gluten and other properties that have been becoming more and more deficient in California wheat, fully restored. This theory is advanced by many, and to some, especially among those who remember that in the olden days of the cradle and the binder there was no complaint about the quality of the California wheat, it seems very plausible. Others contend that the change is due to overcropping and the consequent deterioration of certain properties in the soil, and that the method of harvesting has nothing to do with the quality of the grain. In some sections of California, acting on the theory that the quality would be improved by a return to the binder, farmers bought the latter machines and operated them in the harvesting of their crop. These same farmers, however, are not able to say whether the change resulted in any improvement or not. The buyer makes no distinction, but whether the miller is benefitted they have no means of knowing. The state agricultural society has undertaken to ascertain what difference, if any, there is in the grain as the result of the different methods of harvesting. Our request was made for samples of wheat of the same variety, grown on the same kind of land in the same locality and under the same conditions of whether the miller is benefitted they have no means of knowing. The state agricultural society has undertaken to ascertain what difference, if any, there is in the grain as the result of the different methods of harvesting. Our request was made for samples of wheat of the same variety, grown on the same kind of land in the same locality and under the same conditions of seeding and tillage, but harvested by the different methods. Hon. F. Freeman, a public-spirited citizen of Willows, Glenn county, sent us two sacks of wheat, one marked "Harvester" and the other marked "Binder," which were presumed to fill our requirements. We at once submitted the samples to the state university for analysis and mill test. The wheat cut with binder was found to make a little more flour and more bread; but in nitrogen, albuminoid (gluten), and gliadin, all more or less essential qualities, that cut with the harvester, runs higher. Now, Mr. Freeman writes that "the character of the land was very much the same, adobe and sort of loam;" that both samples were what is known as the "California white club;" and then he continues: "If there is any difference in this wheat or in the flour or quality of either one, it would be by reason of the stacking of the wheat cut with the binder and remaining in the stack for over two months and then being threshed in the old way, for all of the other conditions were just about Senators and representatives have 25,000 copies of the United States government, to send to stituents next fall.

However, these tests and comparation with all the facts bearing on these are presented as in the line interesting study.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) RECORD BREAKING RECEIPTS. Custom receipts are breaking all previous records and have reached the highest point in the history of the government. They are greater at the present time than for the whole of 1906, and those for the month of June are yet to be added to the grand total. The receipts for May have been nearly $48,000,000, and if June customs prove to be as heavy as those of May, the total for the fiscal year will reach well toward $340,000,000. The treasury officials hardly expect this, as they say there is likely to be a falling off in June. The highest figure they are willing to set is $335,000,000, but they admit this is conservative. The secretary of the treasury, customs officials and the officials of the treasury in general, are greatly pleased at the remarkable showing made by the customs returns this year. None so far has arisen to give a detailed explanation for the vast receipts, but in a broad way it is ascribed to the great prosperity of the country. The United States has money to spend to buy heavily abroad, and it is spending it. TEN THOUSAND COSTLY SIGNATURES.

While the king is not done by the governorship printing office, because it has facilities for handling work of mind, the copper-plate base is served by experts of the interior department, and the balance of the funds given out to private contractors. Twenty-one thousand six hundred miles of the map are distributed by members of congress, two-thirds of which are represented and one-third by senators. The small reader is retained by the secretary of interior for distribution to those who are expected to pay the cost of one dollar a copy, such reductions to be sent to the interior department.

Washington by the Philippine commission for construction of the additional Philippine railroads that have been authorized, the treasurer of the Philippines traveled all the way from Manilla to the national capital. He arrived in Washington in pursuance to directions of the secretary of war, and working each day from 9 until 4:30, it will require an entire month for him to place his name on the 10,-000 bonds. At first it was the intention of the treasury and war officials in Washington to send the bonds to Manila for the signature of the treasurer, but in view of the purpose of the government to have the bonds floated as soon as possible, by the first of July if practical, it was thought advisable to have the treasurer of the Philippines come to Washington, so he was cabled to that effect. It required him more than a month to make the trip to Washington, he will remain at his temporary post two months and the return journey will occupy over thirty days, so all in all, it can be said that six months' time will be occupied in the signing of the ten thousand bonds, and as the salary of the treasurer is $6000 per year, the cost will be $3000, to say nothing of the transportation expenses and the loss of time by the official from his duties.

UNCLE SAM TIPS WAITERS. After July first the United States will tip the humble waiter in dining UNCLE SAM TIPS WAITERS. After July first the United States will tip the humble waiter in dining cars of railroad trains, whenever a government official travels. This has just been decided by all departments, after many complaints from colored dining car waiters had secured into the various secretaries and assistants. The custom for years has been to allow traveling officials 25 cents a day as the proper sum to appease the dignity of the porter on sleeping cars, but heretofore the dining car waiter seems to have been overlooked in the appropriation bills. The latter was then taken up with the result that hereafter he will receive more than even the lordly individual the whisk broom, his fee being at 40 cents a day. There are 4766 dining cars operated daily, according to the interstate commerce reports, and it is estimated that there are on the road in the government daily 725 offices. Should they each contribute cents to the colored waiters, the total daily amount would be $290, or the real tidy sum of $102,850 a year. E. J. TOTTEN & CO. Bond Building Washington, D.C.
