Josiah Aliens Wife," in her la
test book .Sweet Cicely," has some
very shrewd things 10 shy upon
various subjects. This is what she
has to say concerning the "experi-
ment'' Of giving the ballot to women.
In response to that plea that women
should be allowed the franchise right
to overthrow the liquor traffic, Josiah
remarks:
ut would be a dangerous expert
ment, Cicely. 1t seems to me suth-
in unwomenly, suthin' agin natur.
It's turnin' the laws of natur right
round. It's p%erilous to the domes-
tic natur of wimmin.n
To which his wife replied:
Don't you remember, Josiah AL
len, how you worried about them
hens that we carried to the fair?
They were SO handsom and such
good layers that l really wanted the
infiooence of them hens to spread a.
broad. But you worried awful.
You was afraid that carrying the
hens into turmoil of public life
would have a tendency to keep'em
from wantin' to make nests and
hatch chickens. But it didn't.
Good land, one of'em made a nest
right there in the coop at the fair,
with a crowd q shoutin' round 'em
and laid two eggs. You can't break
up natur's laws, they are laid too
deep and strong for any hammer we
can get holt Of to touch 'em. All
the nations and empires of the world
can't move 'em round a notch.
"A true woman's deepest love and
desire is for her home and her loved
ones, and planted right in by the
side of these two loves Of hern is a
deathless instinct and desire to
protect and save them from danger.
Good land! ] never heard an old
hen called out of her spear and un-
henly because she would fly out al
a hawk and cackle loud and cluck
and try to lead her chickens off into
safety. And while the rooster is
steppin' high and strutting round
and lookin' surprised and injured, il
is the old hen that saves the chick
ems nine times out of ten."-W Western
Rural.

Or the twelve Dakota newspapers
in existence when tho New Era be-
gan its career, but five are now pre-
sided over by the men who filled
their editorial chairs at that time:

Ter, and Bro. Bowen of the Yankton
Press and Dakotaian, and Bro. Wet
ter Of the Yankton Freie Presse, and
Bro. Warner Of the Deadwood Times
and Bro. Nash Of the Canton News,
are still in the harness. Bud Tay-
lor, who then made the Yankton
Herald's editorial columns fash

Taylor-whom we will always ad-
mire for his sterling qualities of head
and hsart-who used to edit the To-
cal columns Of that journal and rus

dick gave the vermillion Republic

plead with the rest Of us for the dis
couraged settler to "hang on" for a

Lounsbury and Carter are out of the

crative enterprises. Bro. Chambers

sleeping with his Times in breath
Less slumber. Major Mcdonald Of

his journal laid to rest and then de-
parted to the westward, locating at

Smutty Wheat is getting to be a
serious matter with the farmers Of
the Northwest, as we'll as the millers
and grain dealers who are obliged
to handle il. The loss resulting
from it to the farmers in the Spring
Wheat region amounts to millions
Of dollars annually. So fur 1t has
been confined mainly to the soft
varieties Of Spring Wheat, but it is
now making its appearance in the
Hard or Phyfe Wheat, and if suf-
fered to go unchecked will, in a
short time. place the Spring Wheat
Of this country in the rejected"
grade, where a large amount Of it is
now going on account of smut, and
selling at ~ to Is cents per bushel
lower on this account. This smut
can be stamped out with a very lit
tie trouble and small expense to
each individual farmer, if he will
carefully apply the prescription be-
low. There is no dispute on the
subject; it has been tried and proven
in thousands Of cases and has never
failed. The remedy for killing the
smut is simply to wet thoroughly
each grain Of Seed Wheat in a strong
solution Of blue vitriol, or as some
call it, b~lue-stone. The ways to do
il are various. The following has
proved perfectly reliable, viz: Dis
solve one or two pounds (tLere is no
danger Of getting the solution too
strong) Of blue vitriol to each gallon
Of water. You must Judge as to
how many gallons Of this solution
you will require for the amount Of
seed you intend to SOW. Probably
one gallon will wet four bushels Of
sesd. Put the seed wheat into
course bags, about, fifty or sixty
pounds to the bag, tie them at the
top so that the Wheat will lie loose
" in them; immerse them in this
pickle and let them lie from FIVE to
ten minutes, turning the bag owe a
few times to be sure that the wheat
has become thoroughly wet. Then
lift them out and let the pickle
drain back into the vessel that con-
tains the solution. The Wheat will
very soon be in condition to SOW.
II does not require to be spread out
10 dry, a. the Wheat will absorb the
moisture very quickly.

ment to his Dakota bill. The amend
ment provides that all persons who be-
tween February q and April II, 1885,
IN good faith entered upon any part of
the great Sioux reservation lying west

ton, which by the presidents procla-
nation of February II, 1885, was
declared to be open to settlement, and

claims and complete the same as re-
quired by law, and their said claims

over later entries; and when they shall
IN other respects comply with the law

steaders, with the specific provisions of
this act, they shall be entitled to have

tries shall be such as are required by
law in other cases. and shall be paid in

act. The president shall appoint spe-
cial agent under the direction of the
secretary of the interior, who shall, as

who, in good faith, between February
% and April II, 1885, settled upon any

nebago reservations. The agent shall
have power to cause witnesses to come
before him at some point convenient to
the reservation. and to administer oaths.

revocation of the executive order OPEN
ing these lands to settlement, giving
the particulars of any such losses, and
all other facts connected Herewith, and
in case the consent of the Indians is
not obtained, as required by this act,
then the same inquiry and report shall
be made as to all persons who made
claims as aforesaid upon that part of
tbs reservation which is not included

fishes. The report of the special agent
shall be transmitted by the secretary Of
