Will Unite SynOdS.

Rev. G. J. Albrecht, pastor of ST.
Paul's Lutheran church, has gone to
Detroit, Mich, to attend the meeting
of the Inter-Synodical Conference, the
object being to form a more perfect
union of all the large Lutheran synods
of the United States. This is move
ment which has been watched with
great eagerness by the representative
denominations of this country and also
in foreign countries. Rev. Albrecht
is one of the committeeman in charge
of affairs. He is eminently qualified
to serve in that capacity, since he is
one of the leading divines of the Luth-
eran church in Minnesota and during
his thirty years of active ministerial
work in the state he has occupied
many Offices in the church.

LIME SYNDICATELOCATES
Nebraska Gets Concern That Wanted
to Come Here.

It has been learned that the Ameri-
can Lime Syndicate, the concern that
New Ulm came ncar securing about
year ago, has located in Lincoln, Neb.
r. A. McWilliams, who conducted the
Investigations near here, is managing
the enterprise and the property his
company has purchased with the kilns
they will establish, represents an in
vestment of $4,000.
When Mr.. McWilliams was in New
Ulm last spring he examined the lime
deposit south of the city and endeav Or
ed to secure options upon the quarries.
He explained that the capitalists he
represented were planning to establish
lime kilns in various cities in the
Northwest and the New Ulm quarries
would be the first of the chain to be
opened. 1t was his intention to obtain
options upon both of them and then
examine the property thoroughly, with
a view to ascertaining whether the
kilns could be operated on a big
scale and made to pay.
One of the quarry owners consented
to sell but the other held off and the
promoter dropped the project, very
unfortun ate circumstance for New Jim.
Had he located here he would have in
vested as much or more than has been
done at Lincoln and an important in
dustry would have been, developed.
Several kilns would have been erected
and employment given to fifty Or seven
ty-fve men, increasing the revenue OF
the localmerchantsb by several hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually.

Capt. John Buschers now has his
company in excellent shape and Satur-
day evening was able to muster SO of

brought down rs of it's 81 members and
the company was so large that it was
necessary to dismiss portion of it

CAN DESTROY TWO PESTS
How to Get Rid of Potato Blight and
Potato Bugs.

Prof. F. L. Washburn of the State
Experiment Station, has written US as
follows, asking US to publish in our
next issue if potatoes in this vicinity
are troubled with potato blight:
I'm travelling over the state the lat
ter part of last summer [ was struck
10y the prevalence Of blight in potato
vines in many sections. Since then
many complaints have reached us re-
garding this trouble. The following
treatment with Bordeaux mixture has,
in New York state, given excellent re-
suits, and knowledge Of the method
should be in the hands of every farm
er in our state, who raises potatoes.
"Spray the vines with Bordeaux
mixture first when plants are six or
seven inches high. Two weeks later
give them another spraying. Follow
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-04-06

this with two later sprayings, making
four in all, allowing two weeks to in
tervene between applications. The
necessary strength of Bordeaux mix
ture for this purpose is made as fol-
lows:
''Place six pounds of copper sui
phate (blue stone) in a burlap sack,
and hang it in sufficient water to dis
solve it in any vessel which is not
made of iron. Shake four pounds OF
fresh lime gradually. When slaked
add Is gallons of water, and the water
containing the dissolved blue stone.
Stir thoroughly and add Is gallons
more water $50 gallons in ALL This
mixture should be strained through
burlap before being used, to remove
particles which might clog 1.-THE sprayer.
To kill potato beetles or ''bugs" at the
same time add one pound Paris green
to the amount of mixture necessary to
cover one acre. Each plant must be
thoroughly covered. To be successful
the spray should be used before the
blight starts. This process costs about
81 per acre, and each farmer must de-
eide for himself whether the expense is
| iuStified,''

RIDES IN AUTO PROMISED
Local Liverymen Plan to Adopt
Novel Scheme.
.Gieseke & Andring May Purchase
Touring Car.
Will Rent the Automobile for Out
door .Jaunts.

Automobile parties promise to be-
come very popular in New Ulm next
summer if plans which Gieseke & An
dring now have under consideration
materialize. They are figuring upon
buying a powerful automobile and if
the purchase is made will rent the veh-
icle for jaunts about the city and tours
through the country. Charges to the
public will be very nominal and it will
be possible for everyone to have a
ride in the horseless.
VIM. II. Gieseke, senior member of
the firm, was in Minneapolis last
week for the purpose of Investigating
the auto situation and while there
looked at a machine. It was a Toledo
and of a most serviceable type. Mr..
Gieseke was favorably impressed with
the smoothness of its operation and
it's good qualities as a roadster but it
| was not as large or as heavy as would
be needed here and for that reason
he did not close a deal.
He and his partner are convinced
| that their venture would not prove
profitable unless they were to buy a
machine which could successfully cope
with the many hills in this vicinity
and one which could stand a reason
able amount of grief on the roads
They favor a double-seated tonnear
car, as an automobile of this type
would carry six Or more passengers
is heavily constructed and could climl
any of the grades liable to be encount
cred near here.
Mr.. Gieseke will make another tril
to the Twin Cities soon and will try tc
obtain a machine of this kind. If he
is successful it will be housed in theil
barn on First North street and will be
rented out in the same manner as
livery team. To insure touring par.
ties against accident the firm would
employ a chaffuer to look after the
automobile.
