The following dispatch from
Washington, ID. @. will explain it.
self:
Washington, ID. c., Mar. %,
l9O3.-Capt. l.. G. Davis of Sara
toga a today appointed super
visor of the Medicine Bow Forest
Reserve and j. $. Atherly super
visor of the Grow Greek reserva-
ton.
The appointment. in so far ms
it concerns the Medicine Bow re-
serve, is an important one. 1t
was known to very few that the
4 position had been offered to Cap.
Davis last summer and that he
had taken the matter under adj
visemeni and, we presume from
the above, had at last considered
it f%avorably. There were a num-
Der of applicants for the position,
but none of them stood any show
so long as Mr.. Davis had not en-
pressed his intention to Withdraw.
Mr.. Davis has been a resident of
this country for so many years
that probably NJ man is better
known than himself, or who is
more familiar with the country
contained in the reserve. That
he will give satisfaction in this
responsible position no one has
the least doubt, and it is also well
known that he will be absolutely
fair to every interest in his adj
ministration of the reserve.
f d. Whitney, the gentleman
who has been temporarily in
charge of the for the past
four or five months, is from Yank-
ton. S. D., and has won many
friends during his stay here who
will sincerely regret his departure.
1t is not yet known to what re-
serve he will be sent. but it is GER
tain that this change only means
a transfer to some other depart
ment for him.

How to Prevent Smut in Grain.

forths the entire crop and in such
instances the small amount of
grain obtained has little market
value. The trouble is easily over
come and it is dollars in the peck
ct of every man who raises wheat
or oats to treat his seed to pre-
vent the disease. 1t costs from
two cents to five cents per bush
ell or from four cents to ten cents
per acre to treat the seed. Where
the treatment is properly and
carefully done the resulting crop
may be increased in value from
four dollars to eight or more dol
lars per acre.
Smut is caused by tiny black or
brown spores which cling to the
seed or which may remain in the
ground over winter. When the
seed terminates the spores also
grow, and send a minute thread
up in the grain stalk to the head,
where it destroys the kernels of
grain, producing spores instead.
Anything which will Kill the
spores on the seed without in
juring the termination of the
grain will improve the quantity
aud quality of the crop, providing
the treated seed is planted on
land which has not grown smutty
grain for one or two years. We
recommend any one of the follow
ing four methods:
Jensen HOT WATER TREAT
MENT.
This is generally recommended
as the best method. You must
have a good thermometer to test
the temperatures. The water
may be heated in any convenient
way. Have the water in one bar
rell or tub at a temperature of
l25 deg. to 100 deg. F. and in the
second barrel at a temperature of
1921 deg. to 133 deg. f. Put the
grain in a wire basket or gunny
sack, having it only partly full
so the grain can be all shaken
apart when in the water. Dip
into the first barrel for three or
four minutes to Thoroughly
warm it. Then dip it at once
into the second barrel, suhjecting
the grain to the temperature of
1921 deg. to 1913 deg. for ten min
utes, shaking about so all the
grain will become warmed to the
temperature of the hot water.
Lift out of water, drain and
spread out to dry before sowing.
Be very careful with the tempera-
ture of the water. If it goes
above 1874 deg. or 135 deg. the
grain will be injured and if the
seed treated is not heated to 1872
deg. the spores will not be killed.
Do not leave in the water more
than ten minutes. Have eight or
ten times as much water as the
amount of grain dipped at a time
and have hot and cold water at
hand to add in order to keep
proper temperature while grain
is being dipped. [Send for Wyo.
Exp. Sta. Bull. 81.
p COPPER sULPHATE OR BLUE
STONE.
dissolve one pound copper
sulphate in 5 gal water by hang
ing a sack containing it ia the
top of a barrel or tub until the
sulphate is all dissolved. Dip
the grain III tins solution for two
or three hours and then spread
out to dry.
b.-A safer method. Dissolve
one pound copper sulphate in 20
gal. water and let grain soak IL
hours. Then dip in solution of
one pound lime to 10 gal. water
for five or ten minutes and spread
out to dry.
3.-PoTAssIUM suLPHIDE FOR
OATS.
a.-Dissolve 2 pounds potassium
sulphide in 20 gal. water and soak
seed 10 or II hours. Then dry

drill or otherwise.

CAUTION.

In u experiments we have
found that the terminating pow
er of seed wheat or oats raised at
high attitudes is quite easily in
jured. In treating it more than
ordinary are must be taken. In
using above methods with grain
raised above $500 feet altitude,
be sure that the water does not
get too hot, and do not soak more
than eight or ten minutes. With
other treatments, use the weaker
solutions, and do not soak the
seed more than twelve to twenty
hours.

stirred. Mix one pound of For
malin (Formaldehyde) in so gal.
water and sprinkle over the grain
with a hand or garden sprinkler,
until it is all wet.
b-Mix one pound of formalin
with 100 gal. water and dip the
grain in it until it is thoroughly
saturated. Spread out to dry or
plant at once. Formalin must he
used with care for if used in too
strong solution or the grain left
in too long it will destroy its
terminating power.

a man was seen coming out of one OF
the windows loaded down with the
most valuable merchandise, consist
ing of cutlery, iewelry, etc. The
burglar was none other than ]. F.
Wilfong.
He was indicted by the grand jury,
taken before the court where he con-
fessed and was sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary, all within thirty
six hours from the time he was cap
tured. But his old time luck and
genius had not forsaken him, for only
about week ago he escaped from
the Jail and is still at large, although
a large reward has been offered for
his capture.
Can Missouri of the James boys

desperate Biddle brothers, or far
away Oregon, the home of the incom-
parable dare devil Tracy, produce
another such a criminal genius as

Letter to X. c. TOWnShend.

Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please, read.
You want to know how to do a cheap
job of painting, and have it look good.
Here it is: The cheapest thing there
is in the way of a good-looking job
say nothing about its being goods
Devoe: the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead-and-oil is
good-looking; don't go so far and
costs more. The other paints are
more or less short in one way or an
other; don't go so far and costs more
than Devoe.
Deyoe costs least of all; you don't
mind its lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it; a paint that goes furth-
er lasts longer; we cant help it.
Yours truly
F w DEvoE & Co
