were murdered Friday night by unknown
robbers, who after struggle Drained the
old man with an axe and then killed the
wife by beating her to death with a club.
The tragedy occurred near Almira. Lin

coolly planned. The object was doubtless
robbery, as the judge was worth $4,000
or SO 600. and was supposed 10 have
money in his safe.
The theory is that the crime was com
mitted by some visitor who came on a
pretended business trip The safe was
found open and had evidently been un-
locked by Mrs Lewis. as she alone was

DR.. Temples Career.


Dr. Temple was appointed Archbishop
Of Canterbury and primate Of all Eng
land December p. 1886. His rise TO this
highest position in the Church Of Eng
land, while gradual. was a record Of brill
liant work.
He was born at Santa Maura. Ionian
Islands. November 30. 1921. He came Of
a weil-known family, HIS father being
Major Octavius Temple, late governor Of
Sierra Leone.
The archbishop was educated at Blum
dells School Tiverton. Devon; he then
went to Balliol College, oxford, from
which he graduated with high honoTs.
He was elected fellow of BallioI Col
Iege on Blundel Foundation in 1913.
and acted as principal Of Kneller Hall
from 1S4S till 1855; then became her
majesty's inspector Of training colleges
This position he held until 1885, when
he was appointed head master OF the
Rugby.
Bishop Of London.
In 1868 the archbishop began his life as
churchman when he took up the du-
ties Of Bishop Of Exeter In 1885 he was
called TO a larger field. and appointed
Bishop Of London

the confidence and esteem OF his fellow

Specials That Farmers Expect Good
Profit From This Season.
In special crops probably nothing will
be looked upon with more favor than
onions, which in many sections have
brought the farmer prices around 81
per bushel during most of the past
year. This Ia difficult crop to grow,
however, and while many farmers will
go into onions for the first time it does
not necessarily follow that the yield
will prove burdensome. There will be
the usual tale of abandoned acreage or
disaster through inadequate under
standing of crop conditions.
Field beans will attract much atten-
ton in New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and elsewhere owing to the preva-
lence of generally good prices. Owing
10 high prices last fall the acreage un-
der squash will be increased. In such
crops as broom corn and castor beans
the demand is limited, and the business
might be readily overdone. Peppermint
farming seems to be recovering some
what from the depression of several
years standing and will engage consid-
cradle attention in Michigan, Indiana
and New York.
Never were more farmers interested
in alfalfa growing, and the demand for
seed is very large not only west of the
Missouri river, but in the Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and farther east.
Meadows have undergone usual win
ter vicissitudes, and. with fairly good
prices for hay, this spring finds much
reseeding of clover and timothy fields.
American Agriculturist, which is au-
thority for the foregoing, also notes the
interesting situation prevailing in ter

Easily and Successfully.
Oat smut is practically all PREVENT
ble by a simple method of treating the
seed oats to kill the smut spores that
are Sown with the seed only. Forma.
lin is clear liquid, solutiollyof for
maldehyde in water, and may be pur
chased at drugstores for about SO
cents per pound. Each pound is suffi-
,cient to stir into fifty gallons of water
and will treat fifty bushels of seed
oats. One ounce is enough for three
gallons of water and will treat three
bushels of oats.
The formalin is not poisonous, though
not wholesome. 1t is we'll to avoid
smelling of the strong solution as pur-
chased, because it is irritating to the
nostrils. The very dilute solution used
for oat smut is not Objectionable, ac-
'cording to the Ohio station, which
would proceed as follows in treating
oats for smut:
Having the solution made at the rate
of one ounce of formalin to three gal.
Ions of water, we'll stirred. and a gal
to be treated, apply this with a sprin-
king can to the oats in piles on a tight
floor. Grain piles should not exceed
about six bushels, and the number of
piles will follow from the amount of
seed. Sprinkle each pile in turn. shov-
cling thoroughly, knowing how much
solution is applied. Continue in each
case until the solution tends to run out
on the floor despite the shoveling. Usu-
ally half gallon or more per bushel
may be sprinkled on the first round,
when the one pile is passed for a few
minutes while another is handled in
the same way. Upon second sprin-
king of each pile as much solution is
used as will be held; then with a third
or fourth repetition the gallon per
bushel may be used, After this shovel
over and leave in low. fat piles over
night or for not less than four hours.
The seed may then be spread thin on a
floor and shoveled over occasionally to
dry out for drilling, or it may be sown
