ishment which it may see fit to inflict. ="

SAYS WAS FORCED TO MARRY;

Sensational Suit Filled In Superior

ed at the office where he was employ

him with threats of violence and a
riage to Miss Scott. He AYERS that
the ceremony was performed under
mortal fear of his life, and that he had
no desire for the marriage contract
between him and the defendant. He
alleges that he had never lived with
her as man and wife, and he asks
the court to relieve him from the mar
riage bonds.
Other divorce suits filed during the
day were Laura M. Bruning VS.. John
H. D. Bruning, in which the petitioner
alleges she was married to the de-
PENDANT on Nov. 20, 1908, and separated
from him on Jan. T. 1904, because he
was "habitually drunk and made
her life miserable because she turned

The International Exposition.

The International Live Stock Expo.
slt1on will be held at the Union Stock
yards from November &c to December
3D. The Importance of this exposi-
ton to the live stock interests of both
the United States and the Dominion
or Canada can hardly be overestimat-
ed. The writer has been told by Cana
dlans that many of the stock breed
ers on that side of the line make moro
ado over this show than do the Amer
leans themselves. This, if so, is so
because the Canadians appreciate the
value of education in the matters OF
live stock raising. They realize that
the exposition is an instructor in the
matter of breeding stock, as well as
OF feeding stock. 1t makes it possible
Tor live stock raiSers from all parts
of the country and of the continent to
meet each other and compare notes.
Not only this, but it shows the live
stock raised in the different sections
OF the country and under different
modes of treatment. Next to the
Canadians, the people of the North
west show perhaps the greatest inter-
est in this event, for they realize that
live stock raising is to be the great
industry of their part of the country,
or, at least, a sort of cornerstone of
agriculture there. The cost of attend
ing the exposition is not great, and a
week spent in attendance on the show
is one of the best paying weeks that
a man can record in his summary of
the years work. The pulse of the
whole live stock industry is felt here,
and truths are impressed on the Wis.,
ftor that he gets in no other way.

Bacteria in Soil.

A bacterium is such a small thing
mat the human eye cannot detect it.
IL takes the microscope to bring out
this minute form of life. 1t takes
some thousands of bacteria to do the
work that is done IN single tubercle
on the roo. Of a leguminous plant
nevertheless, small as they are, bac-
terra are of immense Importance TO
the farmer and often the success or
failure of crop will depend on the
Kind of bacteria there is in SOIL
The kind of soil and it's physical
structure also have a great deal to
do with the abundance of bacteria.
1t has been found that a soil that is
rich in humus, that is, has much
vegetable matter in it, is better suit
ed for the development of bacteria
than soil that has in it very little
humus. 1t has previously been be-
lieved that the only advantages in
having the humus was that it was
source of nitrogen and that it also
held moisture and kept the ground
from drying out. The third good
quality must now be added, that of
making bacterial life more abundant.
Whether this connection between the
humus in the soil and the bacteria is
important because the humus fur
n1sheS food for the bacteria or
whether it is important because the
humus keeps the ground light and
moist and lets the air work through
1T easily, we do not yet know. Both
are reasonable suppositions. We are
sure to understand more about them
in the not distant future. 1t is now
certain that we can introduce new
kinds of bacteria into soils and that
we can by doing this greatly increase
the productive capacity of the farms
for certain crops.

The destructive tree borer so well
known to horticulturists as the Flat
headed apple tree borer and to ento-

Is found in all parts of the country
and annually destroys vast numbers
OF trees. 1t attacks apple, pear,
ounce, plum, peach, cherry, ash. elm,
maple, box-elder, sycamore and willow
trees. The injury is done by the fat
headed borer during it's grub or 1arval
stage. The adult insect is a beetle
about half an inch long, f1attish-ob-

above and copper colored below The
female deposits her eggs in the crew

main branches, usually on the south

of the sun upon the tree is greatest.
In our locality the most of the eggs
are probably laid during April and

Blue Serge Always in Favor.

Blue serge costumes never seem to
go out of fashion, and just now they
are very much in evidence. For gen
eral seaside wear, and for yachting
gowns, there is nothing to equal navy
blue serge; but everything lies in its
make and trimming. Combinations of
blue and some other color are still
adopted by the fashionable world, but
blue and green have had their day, in
spite of the fact that blue serge
dresses, piped with bright emerald
green velvet, have not yet finally
dipped below the modish horizon.
Navy blue, daintily piped with scarlet,
is always in good taste, and navy blue
serge trimmed with white cloth is the
perfection of quiet elegance. 1t makes
q charming gown as a standby for the
late summer and early autumn sea-
son: it is very useful for either sea-
side or yachting. and last, but not
least. it makes an ideal going-away
gown for an August or September
bride
