This formula can be secured from
any of the fertilizer companies max
ing a first-class wheat fertilizer.
Apply at from 800 to 500 pounds
per acre. 1t is not necessary to
secure a large stalk the point is to
have a full head containing we'll
developed grains. A yield of 20
bushels per acre should be secured
ordinarily under proper tillage and
fertility. Before planting the grain
always subject it to thorough treat
ment of blue-stone. One pound of
bluestone is sufficient to treat five
bushels of grain. Dissolve the blue
stone in boiling hot water, then pour
into barrels or tubs half filled with
water sufficient to hold five bushels
of the wheat. This can be left to
stand over night and planted next
day, or immersing few hours in the
solution will be sufficient. All that
is necessary is to let the grains come
in contact with the solution, and the
smut germ will be killed. The smut
germ is parasitic plant, which ad-
heres to the grains, and if not killed
before planting it vii terminate
with the seed and grow along with
the stalk, finally feeding on the head
of wheat, when the mischief is done.
This is a quick, simple method of
preventing smut, which is more dis
astrous to the wheat crop than any
thing else if left alone to do its work.
No wheat is immune from smut that
has not been treated. Wheat free
from smut may be threshed on
machine covered with smut pores
and the grain infected for the next
year.

Insane Boy Mi. Two and wounds Four.

Pittsburg, October 10---While laborinp
under mental alteration, the result Of
strain of perfecting an appliance for Air
brake which is pending In. Washington,
ID. c., Charles Cawley, 17-year-old boy
| OF Homeste I'D, Pa, early to-day killed
his mother and ono sister and fatally in
jured four other children. He tried also
to kill his two Older brothers, but was
detected, overpowered and turned over
/ to the police. The weapon used was an
axe, with which he crushed and hacked
| his victims beyond recognition.
The Cawleys lived in a new, Groom
house on Sixth avenue i'm Homestead,
and last night all the members retired
about 10 O'Clock. Mrs. Cawley and Belle
occupied one bed, while the others,
Josephine, Adeline, Raymond and Agnes,
occupied other beds and cribs in the
same room, which is second floor in the
] rear. Charles, the murderer, his brother
James, aged 20, and Harry, aged Ia
| occupied the front room, second floor,
adjoining the room of their mother.
Some time about 3 O'Clock this morn
ing Charles quietly arose and dressed
himself, all but putting on his shoes,
| crept down to the cellar and secured an
axe. Coming upstairs he went into his
| mothers room where the victims were
all sleeping. After turning up the light
the maniac approached his mothers
bedside, swung the axe high in the air
and brought it down with such force
| that the skull was crushed. The mother
evidently never knew what struck her,
but the crazed son, thinking that his
first blow did not do it's work, pounded
the dead mothers head almost to jelly.
Belle, the eldest daughter, slept
through tho ordeal. The third swing OF
the axe on her mothers head did not
arouse her. Charles hurried to her side
of the bed and struck her with the axe.
1t is thought that tho first blow slipped
and awoke the girl, but only for sec
ond. She did not have time to scream
for the next blow killed her.
The fend then turned to the smaller
children and struck each one over the
head with the bloody weapon.
Believing that he had dispatched them
all, he started for his brothers room,
but James, the eldest, had been awakened
by the groans in his mothers room and
as Charles entered he seized heavy
rocking chair and after q fierce struggle
overpowered him. and turned him over
to the police. On the way. to the station
house he fought ferociously, but after
being placed in a cell he calmed down
and did not seem to realize what he had
done.
When physicians reached the house
Mrs. Cawley and Belle were dead. The
others are still living, but the doctors
announced that they could not live
through the day.

Effected Cure.

Heart disease Is curable, but in people of

Cure, which we know from watching hun.
dreds of cases and from the letters of grateful
sufferers, will cure where all else has failed.

Box-Maker Girls on Strike.

Chicago, October 10.-There were riot
calls, fights between hysterical girls, and
the arrest of the girl leaders of the girl
box makers strike at the plant of w. G.
Ritchie Company last night, and the
patrol wagon responded to calls and the
wagons were also used to convey many
of the girls beyond the picket lines of
strikers and their sympathizers.
When the girl employees left the
building they were charged by strikers,
and in the struggle Mary Hillman and
Edith Marsh, who had refused to quit
positions in the plants, were thrown to
the ground and trampled on and severely
beaten. Rose, Ann and Marlipe Zitte,
sisters, were arrested on charges of be-
ing leaders of riot. They were taken
to the police station and the injured
girls were sent to their homes in car
riages.

There il no aafer or suror oron .o

There is no safer or surer crop to
plant. Wheat will mature crop
every year, and if not wanted for
bread, it is equally as good, if not
better, for stock than oats. If
planted for stock, it should be cut
and made into hay when the heads
are in the early dough stage. All
work animals will keep in splendid
condition fed on wheat hay, and the
fear of saving an oat crop need not
longer worry us when we can accom-
plish the same end with wheat. In
many sections wheat is grown for
stock alone, and either fed upon the
farm or baled and shipped to mar
ket, where. it always commands a
high price. Baled wheat hay will
net more dollars per acre to the
grower than the threshed wheat.
The cost of handling is less and the
price obtained is greater. The de-
mandi always good, not only on the
farm but in the city markets. The OPP
portunity presented this fall for SOW
ing wheat was never more propitious.
1t should be generally taken advan-
tage of. Make your bread and meat
at home. Plant for the table and
for the barn yard. Prepare your
lands now and plant in the latter
days of the present month. Do not
postpone this most important mat
ter. The returns next spring and
summer will far exceed your expecta-
tions. Georgia especially should be
a great wheat growing State. The
time. is ripe for revival of interest
in this important cereal crop, and
the opportunity should not be
passed.-Harvie Jordan, in Atlanta
Journal.

Trick on Mrs. Natien.

New Haven, Conn.,, October 11.-Yale
men played trick on Mrs. Carrie Nation
when she was here last week. She
agreed to sit for her picture, holding a
water pitcher in her hand as an emblem
of her belief. She found the pitcher toe
heavy and substituted for it glass OF
water. The students, standing just out
of range of her vision, told her to be sure
to keep her eyes fastened on the lens OF
the camera. AS she strained her eyes in
that direction the students surrepti-
tiously produced pipes, cigarettes and a
whiskey bottle. The resulting photo.
graph is curious one. In the center OF
the group stands Mrs. Nation, holding
in her right hand glass, which, owing
to the mysteries of the dark room, is
capped with crown of foam. Around
her are the students, one drinking from
a whiskey bottle, another lighting q
pipe, others smoking cigarettes, and two
apparently in the last stages of intoxica.
