USED MUSTARD BY MISTAKE.
Basis of an Extraordinary Damage
Case Brought in Wis
consin.

A most remarkable and unusual dam
age case will be tried in the Kenosha
county circuit court in a few days. A
year ago, tits claimed, Robert NJ. Dixon,
a merchant of Randall, sold TO Henry
Runkel Anton Schlax, Martin L. Hoff-
man, and others, large quantity of
mustard seed for rape seed. The men
sowed the mustard on their land, and
instead of raising a crop of rape seed
they found when the harvest time came
that they had fields covered with the
most obnoxious crops of weeds that
farmers have to contend with, and
which practically ruins a farm. The
farmers cultivated the mustard crop
with as much care as they would give
any crop, and suspected nothing wrong
until it was too late to remedy the evil
done. They all expect TO have fields Of
weeds again this year, as it is impossi-
BILE to get rid of. the stuff once it takes
root in good soil. Dixon, it is said, did
not know the character of the seed he
sold TO the plaintiffs, buying it himself
for rape seed from a reliable scotsman,
who, ii is thought may have shipped
the seed to the wrong firm. Some one
may have wanted mustard seed for an
other purpose, but it is hard for Wis
consin farmer to understand what any
one could use it for, as it is as much an
enemy to the farm as the Canadian this
tie. The trial will undoubtedly develop
some remarkable things in connection
with the gathering and sale of seeds,
and the cultivation of mustard. A Mil
waukee county farmer said that with a
crop of mustard on one of his fields he
would vacate at once and turn over the
job TO some one willing to spend life
time in ridding the place of the yellow
weed. The land might not be abso-
lutely ruined, but he would never try
to raise a crop of anything else on a
field that had once been sown to mus
tard.

PRAIRIE DOGS FOR FOOD.
A New Industry THAT cannerS Are
Absut to start I'm the state
Of TeNas.

The Texas prairie dog. like Artemus
Wards kangaroo. is "a most amoozin'
little cuss," but the damage done by
myriads of them in western Texas and
in the Panhandle part of the state is
great. Crops and vegetation suffer
enormously. and the legislature is now
struggling with the problem of how 10
exterminate them. 1t has passed bill
giving bounty for their destruction.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Barnett Gibbs. of Dal-
las, proposes to convert the prairie dog
into an article of food. In discussing
the subject, he said:
"I have argued for years that they
were not related to the dog family.
They have bark like a squirrel, and If
you will read the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA you will find they are not scien-
tificallya dog and the only resemblance
is in the tail and the bark. Some of the
early explorers who had plenty of deer
and turkey to eat, heard their bark, and
called them prairie dogs a name which
still clings TO them.
"If the people of western Texas, in
Steau OF poisoning tne llltlt dHlludls,
will put up a cannery and utilize the
flesh of the so-called prairie dog, they
can build up an industry. If they will
put in enough red pepper inside the can,
and the right kind Of label on the out
side. they will make money enough TO
cut a dash at the Paris exposition.
"The skin of the prairie squirrel
makes fine French kid gloves, and their
lard is good to grease your hair, or your
skillet. | will wager that within five
years the men who are now poisoning
the little animals will be raising them.
"Chicago capitalists who get six
cents a pound for smoking our four
cent pork are figuring on this source of
wealth, and will, in all probability es-
tabish cannery in the Abilene coun-
try. and a syndicate will soon offer ten
cents apiece for the hide of every prairie
squirrel caught in such a manner as
not to injure the flesh or hide. You
don't have 10 build sheds. or raise feed
for them, and the prairie squirrel farms
of West Texas will yet be profitable in
vestments."

Mr.. G. G. Church of $40 South 1th

active duties of life, says: IL have no
hesitation in recommending Doan's Oint-
ment. To anyone requiring a healing
and soothing preparation it will prove
invaluable. | suffered for years from
itching hemorrhoids, and though tried
everything | could hear of and used
remedies prescribed by scores of friends,

until my attention was called to Doan's
Ointment. / was somewhat surprised
after the second application to notice
what different effect it had from any
thing / had hitherto used. Encouraged
