following, which have looked up in
the Experiment Station record, is a
summary of the important points;
Experiments conducted in Europe,
Canada and at different stations in this
country, have demonstrated that wild
mustard growing in spring wheat, oats,
or barley, can be destroyed by spraying
with to per cent solution of copper
sulphate, applied at the rate of 80 gal
Ions to the acre. A per cent solution
Il part of copper sulphate to "a parts of
water, by weight) is about the strong
est that can be used without danger of
permanently injuring the grain crop,
and if applied while the weeds are
young and tender, before they have
begun to flower, a 2 pei cent solution
should be effective. II a heavy rain
occurs within day after the spraying
it will probably be found that the
operation will have to be repeated. In
several experiments the A per cent
solution has been found effective even
after the wild mustard had begun TO
flower, and this is the strength reported
to have been used in most Of the expert
ments In England, although many
observers claim that this strength is

Some of the COW boys in the vast
region lying between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills have adopted as q
past time the shooting up" of land
seekers who visit the country in search
OF homesteads. Among their recent
victims were four brothers, John, R.L.,
Henry and George Kinsman, who
reside in Jerauld county, and who
visited that region in search of home
steads. The COW boys used them as
targets aud succeeded in wounding one
of the brothers.
The Western Surety company, of
Sioux Falls, has been made the defend
ant in case which will attract con-
siderable attention. This company has
bonded many saloon keepers through
out the state. Moses McElwain was
killed on March 18th by the cars on the
Great Northern railroad near Violin.
The widow, instead of sueing the rail-
wav company, brought suit against the
bonding company and the Barth Brew
ing company, of Yankton, who owns
liquor establishments in different towns
in the southern part of the state. Mrs.
McElwain claims that her husband
drank liquor in the Brewing company's
saloon at Mission Hill then started out
to walk home.

sufficient to affect the Yield of grain.
Prof. Bolley, of the North Dakota
Agricultural Experiment station, in one
of his experiments used 10 per cent
solution of copper sulphate on plat OF
wheat that was badly infested with
weeds, applying the solution at the rate
of 40 gallons per acre, and he states
that while this injured the wheat, it
did not prevent it from producing
larger crop than was obtained from an
adjoining weed-infested patch that had
not been treated; in this experiment
the solution effectively destroyed wild
barley, shepherds purse, wild buck
wheat, lambs quarters and ragweed, as
well as the charlock, but weak solutions
of copper sulphate have not been found
effective against such weeds as wild
rose, pigweed, and thistles.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth. Mimi, May 30.-Including contract
that has not yet been definitely arranged as 10
all details there now fourteen steel ships OF
the largest class contracted for completion by
the opening of navigation next year.
These ships vary from $500 tons capacity to
upwards Of 10000 tons. and probably average III
cost $500, 900 They will add about 2.4oo,ooo
gross tons to the seasonal capacity OF the lakes.
1t is very unusual and remarkable thing that
much capacity should be added to the lake
fleet fur ahead the time it is. to be put
into commission Nearly a year must elapse be"
fore these vessels can 90 to service, and IN that
time there is room for great many occur
rcnces. And 1t does not seem that the con-
tracing for ships for 1906 is yet over.
More shipping Is built annually for the Ameri-
lakes than for its two oceans and Its rivers.
Into a single lake Of the western chain Superior.
there last year passed more than 200 steel ships
of capacity greater than 5000 gross tons. YES
sells already under contract for next May deliv-
cry are valued at more than "a, 900, 900.
The business Of making ships along the lakes
has been so specialized. Is 30 much of science
that ships Of 5000 to 10000 tons be turned
out complete in from 80 to 30 days, and SO
turned in fact. Contrast this with the state
mPnt that American shipbuiders cannot promise
delivery of vessels for Panama service in less
than eighteen months.

10 IT ANY WONDER
That Malta-Vita Melts in Your Mouth
and Satisfies as No Other
Food Can?

Do you know why Malta-Vita is so
delicious, so crisp, so sWeet3 Do you
know why it is the most satisfying and
healthful food in the world7
Malta-Vita is made from the best
white wheat.
Before the process of manufacture
begins the wheat is cleaned and secured
and the dust and refuse are drawn out
of the big factory by suction leaving
it as fresh and pure as your own
kitchen.
The grain is thoroughly cooked in
water and steam and matured in fresh,
pure air. By this time the starch in
the wheat has been gelatinized, or, in
other words, has lost all its indigesti-
BILE characteristics.
Now the wheat is mixed with the
highest quality of malt extract, and
this malt extract, most active diges-
tive agent, converts the gelatlnized
starch into malt sugar.
You understand, Of course, that malt
sugar (maltose). in which Malta Vita
is always so rich, is of wonderful food
value, very strengthening and easily
the crisp faxed wheat an easy task
too, even for the weakest stomach.
Malta-Vita is baked under such in
tense heat that when it comes out Of
the ovens, it's crisp brown flakes de
licious beyond description, it contains
only little more than l per cent o.
moisture. -. e"r
Do you wonder now why it melts il
your mouth7
And here is another thought.
Throughout the entire process of man
ufacture Malta-Vita is practically un
touched by human hands. Machinery
clean, shining machinery-conveys i
through all the changes, even to tn
filling and sealing of the air-tight, mois
ture-proof packages.
Malta-Vita is the perfect food TO
old and young, weak and strong. Fo
the rundown or overworked digestiv
organs it is a God-send. It makes re,
blood, refreshes the brain and tn
nerves, builds up bone and muscle j
is so satisfying and healthful that n
home should be without it.
Malta-V Vita is 10 cents at all grocers-
same high quality, same big package a
when it sold for 15e.
