Smut Treatment.

Prof. Bolley of the Agricultural col.
lege urges the treatment Of seed grain
tor the prevention of smut, aud in a
newspaper bulletin says: "Siuce this
station has been at work, we have per.
fected several methods Of seed treat
ment, recommending each year such
notifications as allowed the work to
be done most effectively and most
easily. The present treatment recon.
mended is as follows: Use formalin
Tor 40 per cent formaldehyde) at the
rate Of one pound of the LIQUID to
forty-five gallons Of water. Apply
this water solution to the seed grain
in any manner which allows all grains
to become moist over the entire sur.
face. If oats or barley are to be treat.
ed, more Of the solution must be used,
so that one is certain that it is in suf-
ticient quantity to penetrate beneath
the husks Of the gain. Sprinkling
and shoveling is as effective as dip
ping II we'll done, and Of course much
more rapid.
The grain for seed should be meas
ured before treatment and again be-
fore seeding to ascertain how the drill
should be set in order to SOW the re-
quired amount Of the swelled seed.

SOUSA AND HIS BAND
Will Appear at the Metropolitan
Theatre, Grand Forks, Tuesday,
March. 38th

The merits Of the Sousa band are too
we'll known TO need comment, for their
fascinating, clear cut spirited playing
aro7ses enthusiasm in even the dullest
mind. With the finest of brass al d
the sweetest of wood wind, the band
appear to remarkable advantage in all
that it does. Mr.. Sousa tests the re-
sources of his players to the utmost
with only the most satisfactory of re-
suits. Free to follow the bent of his
genius, with unlimited resources III
the matter of men and music, and
above all, with that personal magnet
ism that seems of equal effect over
audiences and players alike, small
wonder that Sousa has achieved inter
national fame as the utmost band
master and made his organization at
once the most popular and prominent
Of its kind in the world.
In the minds of the countless throngs
that have listened to the work OF this
superb band in the past there have al.
ways fingered for many days the ague,
wonderful impressiveness of the pom
derous harmonies of the old masters;
the lighter, witching music of the pres
eRs foreign school, aad the boistsrous, /,

AFTER FIGHTING BEGAN,
Charles j. B. Turner Writes of the

Will be short letter. as we are very
busy just now fighting the insurgents.
The fighting started last Saturday
night, the 4th, aud never stopped at
all until Sunday night, and it was a
pretty hot member. On the 18th Of
August l did not get chance to smell
powder on land, but have had con

Dakota boys made name for them.

trenches, and the order was given to
"charge," and they let out good old
Indian yell and over the trenches they
went. and you should have seen the
niggers run; Our boys seem to have
had q Divine Providence watching
over them, as we did not have a man
hurt. had bullets singing all around
me, but l did not get hit. we have
been out about six miles from the
town, but toni ght were all brought in,

commenced, so you can tell about how

good statement when he said that
"War is He'll" You would think so if
you could see some Of the sights |

over, as there is no fun about it,
shall be able to tell you more when l
get home. that is, IL l don't get shot
on before then; We are all running
big chances ut the present time. As
far as can learn 1T this writing, the
list OF killed on our side will run be-
tween 80 and 100, and on tho insurgeut
side 1t Ia estimated at several thou

natives In some places being piled
twenty deep, all dead. We shall have
to have another battle in day or two
before we get through with them. We
are expecting some troops in TO
morrow. The navy Is doing splendid
work with the big shells; they just
shelled another village before supper
and set it all on fire. We don't want
to go home now, not until this thing
Is settled; our country needs US just
now. and we are still patriotic. At
one point especially on Sunday morn
ing about three o'clock the insurgents
tried to break through our lines, and
for four hours and a half our boys
kept up steady fire into them, but
finally routed them aud you should
have seen them run.
