SPRING ELECTION.
Very Little Interest Is Manifested and
There Are But Few Candidates

Although election is less than four
weeks off there is very little talk as
to who the candidates will be-
While no doubt there will develop
plenty of in terest before the month
is out, yet it is impossible to say at
this writing just what issues will
develop, if any. 1t may be that the
campaign will simply be a personal
contest, the same as last year.
Mayor McBeath will no doubt again
be in the field, and he will command
a strong following. Nels Nelson
and Judge Warden, two old poll
ticians, are also mentioned, but
there has been no formal announce
ment. There will likely be the
usual amount of candidates for the
side board; those mentioned are Ed.
Bryan, Joe Arseneau, A. Nelson,
Charles Moves, W. J. Dolan and Tim
Kearns. There is probability that
Charles Sowder will have no opposi-
ton for clerk, as no one is mentioned
up to this time in opposition to him.
There may be quite tussle for the
town treasurersh:p. In addition to
the present incumbents candidacy
the following have been more or less
talked of for the place: Herman J.
Finstad, VIM tombstone, L. A.
Simonson and Nels Lee. George
Morgan is again out for assessor. 1t
is intimated that in case Mr.. Noyes
is not a candidate for supervisor
that he may give Mr.. Morgan race.
The campaign will perhaps be a
short and active one.

Important to Farmers.

The loss to the farmers of Wiscon-
sin due to smut in oats amounts to
hundreds of thousand of dollars an
nually; practically all of this loss
may be saved by treating the seed
oats before planting, at a very slight
cost. All that is necessary is to
thoroughly saturate the seed oats
with a solution made by adding one
pound of formalin to so gallons of
water. To use this, place a layer
of oats 3 or 4 inches thick on the
barn floor and sprinkle them with
the formalin solution until they are
entirely wet; then another layer may
be placed on the first layer and
and sprlnkled as before, repeating
the pocess until all the seed oats
have been sprinkled; then leave them
in the pile for two hours, when they
should be spread out thinly to dry.
They should be shoveled over once
or twice day until dry. If they
are to be sown broadcast, it will not
be necessary to dry them. Formaliu
may be purchased at any drug store,
and costs from so to Is cents per
pound. About one gallon of the solu-
tion is enough to sprinkle a bushel
of oats, hence one pound of formalin
is enough to treat 80 bushels of
ses3 oats. Formalin is not danger
Gus to use. The oats will not be
likely to be injured by it. even if left
in the pile somewhat longer than
two hours.
FOR POTATO sCAB.
The value of formalin as proven
tive of potato scab has been demon
strated by several Experiment
Stations. The treatment is easily
applied, and gives in most cases a
crop much freer from scab than un-
treated seed, and In Soil free from
scab germs, the presentation is gen.
orally complete.
immense the unsprouted seed
potatoes, before cutting, for two
hours in a solution of one-half pound
of formalin in fifteen gallons of
| water. If the tubers are deeply
scabbed, extend the time to three or
| four hours. After treatment cut
the tubers in the usual manner.
The same solution may be used five
or six times in succession if the i'm
mersion is continued a little longer
each time. Do not use the potato
solution for oat smut, as it is too
strong, or the oat solution for pota-
toes, as it is too weak.

before returning to Cuba; The

that time. Politics are already
humming in Havana, where there
are twelve candidates for mayor.
All of the city officers appointed by
me in January 1899, and since then,
will be succeeded by officers elected
by the people. What the general
politics of the island will be is still a
