The men we're very much pleased

said DIR. Taliaferro. edo you know
that man actually brought out four
mules and turned them over to ns ?
They we're pretty thin aud tired,
and he rather apologized for them,
and said, DO You think you can
get them home? Well, sir, the
tears just ran down my face.
said, IF they can't walk I'll carry
them We took them home and
turned them out to grass, for grass
was one thing we did have. The
whole country was green with it,
and in two months these mules
were fat as butter and able 70 do

outside of grass which the country
afforded was rabbits and hirGs.
They. had been left alone for so
long a time while the men were
away that they were thick. hut We
did not have powder or bullets, and
for some time did not know exactly
how to catch them but we took up

A TEST CASE At LAST.
The Long Disputed Question
to be Decided by Courts
ARE SALOONS PROTECTED
Is the Property used in VIC
lating one law
Guarded by Another Law From Yio-
lence? IL is an Interesting Case

Wichita, Kansas, Feb. 1.-The
question as to whether property used
as saloon in Kansas is entitled to
the protection of the law is now
squarely before the courts and will be
decided some time next month. A few
weeks ago, Mrs. Sheriff, the woman
who led the destructive raid at
Anthony on Wednesday, smashed a
saloon at 'Danville, Harper county.
Frank Osborne, the owner of the
building, has now brought suit against
her in the district court for damages.
Mrs. Sheriff is in good financial cir
cumstances and has employed the
ablest legal talent to fight the case.
She hopes to be able to get what the
w. G. Y. U. of Kansas say they are
seeking-a decision from the supreme
court that saloon property is not en-
titled to the protection of the law. The
case will be watched with interest, for
if such decision is made the prohibi-
tory law will be invested with a new
terror for saloonmen, and bootlegging
will again be resumed in the State.
The case is before Judge Preston
Gillett, and will be tried at Kingman.

SHUT DOWN ZINC MINES
Producers Will Curtail Output to
Advance Prices

Joplin, Mo-, Feb. Producers of
zinc ore, representing go per cent of
the average output, met in Joplin last
night and signed an agreement to pro-
duce no zinc ore from February to
March >, four weeks. 1t is claimed
that producers of an additional 20 per
cent of the output will join within a
week. The purpose is to wipe out all
surplus ore in the hopes that the
metal market will be strengthened and
induce shelters to pay higher prices
for.ore, which is so low now thatmany
mines are operated at loss. Several
hundred miners will be thrown out of
employment during this time and
great privation is feared should a SER
ious cold spell set it.

WHEAT GROWERS
Are Given Some Good Advise by Prof.
Hunter of the State University

Lawrence, Kansas, Feb. l.-Prof. S.
j. Hunter has given to the press a
suggestion of the bestmethods to com
bat the Hessian fly, which has made its
appearance in many ofthe wheat fields
of the State and threatens to do much
damage. The first recommendation is
that the wheat be pastured close with
cattle or sheep. Prof. Hunter says
that by thus close cropping the wheat,
awholesale destruction ofeggs, larvae
and "laxseeds" will result, the effect
of which cannot help being felt in the
spring.
There are also preventive measures.
Unless they have sustained an eXcep-
tionally severe attack, strong plants
in fertile soil will send out to take
the place of the stalks Slapped by the
grubs, new and vigorous shoots, so
that by harvest time the attack of the
| fly will hardly be noticed. Hence it is
evident that generous application of
fertilizer, put on the soilin the spring,
will benefit the plants. Moreover
those varieties of wheat with hard and
flinty stems and those that tiller some
what from the root are less subject to
damage under attacks Of the flies.
Rotation of crops is another good
preventive measure, provided that
barley and rye-two other plants that
are attacked by the Hessian lly-are
not used in the rotation. The shiftless
practice of drilling in wheat among
volunteer wheat" which is practieed
to some extent in the State, is a thing
most favorable to the increase of the
! fly. In these cases the volunteer
wheat furnishes food for the fly at
the time when the farmer can best
starve it out. Clean and thorough
modes of tilling the soil go long way
toward helping the farmer to get rid
of the insect pest.
Nothing, however, can be accomp-
lished without the cooperation of
every wheat grower in the distressed
community. If one farmer burns his
stubble or plows it under, directly
after the harvest, and his neighbor
fails to do so, there may come from
the undisturbed stubble of the neigh
Dor enough of the insects to render al
most fruitless the work of blowing un-
der. If the majority of farmers sow
late enough to thwart the Hessian fly,
one man, by sowing early, may har-
Dor and furnish winter quarters for
enough insects to overrun all the other
fields in the spring, undoing thereby
the work of all the others. To fight
the Hessian fly, wheat growers must
get together and stay together.
