Anyone who has good quality of
wheat should advertise the fact in the
local and adjacent county papers. More
than the market price can be secured
for such wheat and it should be to ev-
Eeryone's interest not only to get a
good fair price for the seed grain, but
to help others in making the most out
of poor state of affairs.
Minnesota produces annually about
90,00O,0OO bushels of wheat, which is
IA per cent of what the United States
produces. This amount is valued at
$4,000, 600, according to the last census.
An indiscriminate use of shrunken,
rusted wheat will result in very low
production and valuation. 1t costs eX-
lactly as much to grow a crop of poor
wheat as it does to grow a good crop
and the net profits per acre are very
close to minus quantity. There is at
this time, within the grasp of the farm
ers, an opportunity to make long step
toward the perfecting of our wheat con-
ditiOn. Selection of seed, rotation of
crops, better tillage and better manage
ment will restore the average yield per
land better farm conditions general
ly. There are three ways to keep up the
total production, viz: Improvement of
the plant itself, improved methods of
tillage, and increased acreage. These
are one and all within the grasp of the
farmer if he will but reach for it. But
in contemplating the third way, do not
lose sight of the old adage: "Of all
the acres of thy desire, the few are bet.
ter for thy tillage." q.
So many inquiries are coming in to
the experiment station for methods of
treatment for smut in grain that a. SIM
pie method would prove effective if Civ
en- here in connection with the use of
good seed u
There is no smut-proof varieties of
wheat. Whenever wheat infested with
smut is planted we can expect smut
ted crop. Smut does not come from the
variety, and is as infectious disease
in wheat as is measles in the human
family. Thereshing machines, as well
as seed wheat which is infested, often
carry smut from farm to farm.
Secure from a reliable druggist good
formaldehyde, sometimes called "for
maline." With each pound of this liq-
uid mix thirty-ive gallons of water.
Spread the wheat on tight floor, sprin
kle on the solution, and shovel until ev-
cry kernel is moistened. Let the grain
stand few hours before sowing. If
sown the same day, the machine will
need to be set to SOW about one-f fifth
more than the ordinary amount. If it
is not to be sown the same day, the
grain should be shoveled over until dry,
or spread thinly on the floor to prevent
heating. One pound of formaldehyde
will treat fifty to 100 bushels, the cost
being only a few cents per bushel.
Smut of oats and barley is successful
ly treated in the same way, using more
liquid to insure its soaking under the
bulls and destroying the germs there.
The grain drill, the threshing machine,
wagon boxes, grain bins, or grain bags
infected with smut spores may be clean
ed by wetting with the solution.

Minnesota No. l63 Recent estimates
have been made as to the probable
amount of Minnesota No. I69 wheat
raised last year and the figures are
placed, conservatively, between 100000
and 100000 bushels. These wheats both
have a pedigree back of their high
yielding qualities, and have been origin
ated by system of most careful selec-
ton. Every available bushel now on
hand of these wheats should be used for
seed the coming season. While it may
not be said that they are rust proof,
they are, to a certain extent, rust re-
sistant. The fact that these wheats,
grown side by side with many other va
rieties, produce good crops and always
report at the top of the list, is evidence
of itself that they are hardy and Wig
orous and possess strong ability to
withstand unfavorable conditions.
The division of agriculture, of the
Minnesota experiment station, has sent
out circular letters to all those who
have purchased seed of this wheat, with
a view to getting in touch with all the
available seed. Those desiring to pro-
cure these wheats should not think that
it is necessary to purchase enough for
all the seed used, but should get few
bushels and plant them apart from the
rest of the crop and endeavor to keep
it pure. In year or two the quantity

THE RACES.

The races last Sunday drew an
Immense crowd of people here
from almost every section and
town surrounding us, and the train
which came from Arnaudville and
Bresux Bridge, brought very
large number of excursionists, as
much as the coaches could hold,
~ we are told several persons had
70 be returned their money be-
cause they could not get accommo-
dation in the cars.
Several races took place during
the day that proved very interest
ing, but all the excitement of the
day was conferred on the race be-
tween McGonigle, belonging to
Mr.. Alpine Fontelieu of New Ibe-
ria, horse who had made re-
cord, and Reynard, the horse of
Mr.. A. ID. Roy of this town. The
purse was a large amount, aud the
bets on the grounds were large
and numerous. Both horses were
we'll supported, and almost every
bet offered was taken.
When both horses entered the
track the excitement was great,
they we're little show in starting,
and a few drops of rain began to
fall, and all were wishing that
they would start before the rain
that was sure to come, but they
would not, one horse always had
. little advantage over the other
which further delayed the start,
the rain increase and the large
crowd which was on both sides of
the track remained in the rain as
long as they could, many, however,
stampeded and made a rush for
under the stand to be protected
from the rain that was now falling
quite heavily. The horses started
in the rain and made the two turn
Of the half mile track in the rain,
Rsynard took the lead and remain
cd there until the finish, coming
ahead of McGonigle, about forty
feet. This result proved a great
disappointment to many, but it
brought JOY and happiness on as
great a number who were the sup
porters of the victorious horse. A
large amount of money then
charged hands.

The Honest Ballot.
The People.

Inc COmmlttoo Oh seventy wuiCu
organized the City Party that has
overthrow Republican bossism in
Philadelphia, has announced that
a committee will soon be chosen
to draft an entirely new ballot law
for submission to the next legisla-
ture. As in New York, the cleo
ton law of Pennsylvania was for
mulsted to shackle the ballot and
make it little more than an instru-
ment to perpetuate bossism. the
citizen who desired to exercise his
right to vote as he pleased being
practically left in the situation OF
man without country.
In New York. the bosses of Tam
many held sway in the name aud
under the flag of the Democratic
party, and cave in years when its
tyranny would drive their divided
opponents into concerted revolt
the citizen who wanted to vote for
good government was simply CO.
ing through the motion of casting
an impotent ballot.
In Philadelphia. bossism sailed
in the garb and under the emblems
of the Republican party. In pur-
pose and in their operations, the
New York and Philadelphia ma
chimes, were alike.
The late elections proved that
the public sentiment is fully arou-
sed to the necessity of stamping
out bossism and restoring popular
supremacy upon the doctrine of
equal rights to all aud special pri-
vileges to none. This sentiment
knows that the prerequisite to the
attainment of this result can only
be effected with any hope of per-
manency through the ballot and
the fair count.
| Hence, the Philadelphia COM
mittee are moving on the right
lines and in this are in::accord with
the sentiment in Louisiana that is
demanding the enactment of a
square compulsory primary cleo
ton law.
Bossism in Louisiana has not
only patterned after the New York
and Philadelphia brand but in
many respects has improved it,
for, in Louisiana, the ballot in
either the primary election or the
regular election, when cast against
the states of bossism, save in few
exceptions, has been made innocu.
ous-a thing to be played with and
disposed of as the necessities re-
quire.
Louisiana has been run long
enough in the interest of politics
and bossism. and it has been led
to the dizziest heights of taxation
and the coarsest one-msn rule. 1t
is high time to have politics and
laws run more in the interest OF
Louisiana and the general welfare.

Bank Runs.

A good many years ago in London
an old woman fell in front Of
bank and broke her leg. A crowd
collected, and the report got about
that there was a run on the bank,
In very brief space there really
was one. A disastrous run on the
Bank of England in the time Of the
pretender in the eighteenth century
was prevented by an ingenious de,
lay. When Prince Charles was
marching on London depositors were
in a frantic hurry to draw out all
they had in the Bank of England
Every call was met, but in sixpences
and shillings. So long did these
coins take to count and so pro-
digious were the loads of bullion
which had to be carried that public
confidence was restored and, news
of the retreat of the highlanders
coming to town, the situation was
saved.

Mayonnaise.

Many persons have difficulty in
making a good mayonnaise, but
there ought to be no reason for it ii
you know your oil is good before
you start. Mix the yolk Of fresh
egg with a little salt and dry mus
tard and stir continually with a
fork while you add the oil, which at
first should be only drop by drop.
The best way is to cut notch in
the side of the cork of the bottle and
let the oil flow through. This pre-
vents the oil from coming faster
than you want it. After bit add
a few drops of vinegar, and 1t will
expedite matters in bringing the
salad to the desired smoothness and
consistency. After this YOU can add
oil almost ad ibitum without dan
ger of its separating. 1t is needless
to add that during this process the
dressing must be continually stirred
