April, May are most emphatically the
months for taking good blood purifier,
because the system is now most in need
OF such a medicine, and because it more
quickly responds to medicinal qualities.
In winter impurities do not pass out of the
body freely, but accumulate in the blood.

One of the plea-antest social occa-
sions our village has known for long
time was the reception given on Tues
day evening of this week at the parlor
and vestry of the Congregational
church by Rev. and Mrs. II. L. Bar
rard. Notwithstanding the inclemen-
cy of the weather nearly two hundred
of the friends of the pastor and his es-
timable wife filled the brilliantly Light
ed rooms. Mr.. and Mrs. Barnard re-
ceived the guests as they arrived under
bower of evergreen in their graceful
and cordial manner, After the recep-
ton brief musical entertainment was
given. Miss Erwin PLAYED the piano,
Mr., and Mrs Barnard, Mrs o II. Ste
vens, Mr.. Mum and Mrs j. B Peck
EFT sang and Mr. Sawyer. the leader of
the band, played the violin accompa-
MED on the piano by Mrs. Barnard.
They were all excellent. After the
music came salad, sandwiches, cocoa,
ice cream and cake. Nothing could
have been more delicious than the re-
freshments The rooms were lighted
by beautiful parior lamps, the walls
were festooned with evergreen boughs
and the floors were adorned with rugs.
The whole aspect was very comforta-
BILE and homelke. 1t was the gener-
ally expressed wish that we could have
such gatherings that bring together
the pastor and family, the church and
the congregation in social way much
oftener than we do have them. All
went home pleased with the pastor
and his wife and with the many ac-
quaintances thev there met.

TO PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT.

Every farmer wants to raise a
crop of wheat that can command
the highest market price. Great
care should be taken this spring
to get the best seed possible. The
government experiment station
of North Dakota has thoroughly
tested and recommends the follow
ing remedy for smut: "Dissolve
one pound of blue vitrol in 4 gal
Ions of water; also make up a
quantity of lime wa ter, on
pound of quick lime in 10 gallons
of water, or you can use air Stacked
lime. Pile the wheat on the
floor and spray it, shoveling rap.
idly. A sprinkler may be used
for this purpose. Constant shovel
ing and care in the spraying is
very important. One half hour
later spray on some of the lime
water, or if you use air Stacked
lime dust it thoroughly into the
wheat. Sow all treated whea
as soon as possible. The idea i

low it to soak up as little of thu

The Cincinnati Tribune insists

The Cincinnati Tribune insists
that Gov. Bradley can appoint a
senator to fill the vacancy in the
Office of United States senator
made by the expiration of Black
burns term in 1897, since the
Kentucky Legislature does not
meet until 1898. But the United
States senate, after long deliber-
alton, gave an Interpretation of
the constitutional provision which
forms the precedent, when the
Lee Mantle case was up. The
constitution permits the appoint
1nent of a senator whenever a
vacancy happens by resignation
or otherwise" and tile senate af-
ter full discussion decided that
the term happens could
not apply to a case where the leg
is1ature could have elected sem
ator and failed to do so from any
cause. In Kentucky the legisla-
ture could have elected senator,
but failed to do so by reason of
party n1achinations. The va
cancy didn't happen" in Ken
lucky. The successor to Black
burn could have been elected and
if Gov. Bradley appoints sue
cessor to Blackburan he will be
met in the senate with the Mantle
record. It is unfortunate that
Kentucky should be deprived of a
senator, but the Kentucky Incl
dent has had the good effect Of

Facts Set to Music.

The following poetic gem is srevamped
to fit the occasion by Dick Halliday of
the Iroquois Chief: There is no use of
talking, this weather cae't be beat;
every chump that leaves Dakota beats
inglorious retreat; every man that
quits her borders, longing for a bet
ter cline, gets it sadly in the cervex,
mourns in tears the leaving time; every
jay that pines to warble where they
say crops never lack, in month or
two is wishing, wishing, praying they
were back. The skies of fair Dakota
are as fair as fair can be, they're about
as fair, Amelia, as you used to be to
me; and the soft, ozonic sunshine, al
falfa, dust and mud, are some patho-
gnomonics, Mister, and they can't be
beat for 'blud." You can gaze upon
the mountains of the Alpine mountain
states, wander oyer California, stuff
yourself with prunes and dates; saunter
on toward the southland, let your feet
there sadly tread: listen to mosquito
anthems, and you'll wish that you were
dead; you will never find, Horatio,
boons above Dakota's par, and that's
why say, by thunder, stay, Horaito,
where you are.

HOW TO SOW WHEAT.

The Northwestern Fleva tor
company, of Minneapolis, is send
ing out circulars to the farmers
in this State as to how to SOW
grain in order to best withstand
the hot winds. The instructions
given are as follows: "The Rem
edy---A drill should be used in
putting in the seed. The drill
should be run from east to west,
and never from north to south.
Why? Because by the use of a
drill the grain is better covered
and the roots better protected,
and therefore better able to with
stand dry spell. Sow from east
to west because the hot winds
come from the south, and if the
rows of grain run from north to
south it has free access through
the rows of grain to the roots,
whereas, if the rows run from
east to west the first few rows
would form a barrier to the wind
getting at the roots, and each row
would shade its ne1ghbor from
the heat of the sun and thus pro-
tect the roots from drying out.
