To Prevent Smut in Wheat.

This coming spring Wnedu
should not be sowed without be-
ing first treated, if ithas any indi-
cations OF having'been exposed to
smut. The trouble can be OBJ.
waited bydipping the seed wheat
in solution thatissuretoprove
effective. Smut is carried over
from year to year on the seed
wheat. The mode Of treatment
is as follows: Dissolve one pound
OF copper sulphate in "a gallons
OF water. Soak the seed in this
solution for twelve hours, after
which it should be drained OFF.
Then the seed should be soaked
for ten minutes in lime waterby
shaking one pound OF lime in ten
gallons OF water. The seed
should then be dried as soon as
possible. Care should then be
taken that the seed wheat is not
eaten by chickens or other stock,
as the sulphate is a deadly poi
son. 1t is the experience OF far
mers that land that bore smutty
wheat the previous year will not
bear smutty wheat if the seed
is properly treated, the smut
spores in the ground having
been all killed by the cold wea-
ther.

More Valuable Papers.

Tx Sheriff Pitts OF McHenry
county was in Minot Monday
He informed us that he returned
to Towner after he had delivered
the stolen coupon notes to Pres.
Erickson OF the Minot National
bank and looking in the manager
at the livery stable, found a mis-
sing mortgage. How the papers
came to be in the livery barn is a
mystery? They were put into the
postofficei in Minot and registered.
The only explanation the ex-
sheriff can possibly give is that
there vas a man in the Minot
Jail, Kinney, about the time the
papers were missed and two OF
his came to Minot to try to get
him out OF jail and they may
have in some manner secured
possession ofthe papers believing
that they were valuable.

He Doesn' t Like The Brand.

An editor over on the Missouri
slope goes after one Of
the drug stores in his town
in the following forceful fash
ion: y. B. Juice, who runs a
Joint in this village under
the high sounding name OF phar-
macy, refused this week to put a
three inch ad in our paper. We
regret to say that several times
in the past we have referred to
Jim Juice as an esteemed and
influential citizen and reputable
business man. We knew ofcourse
that we were lying when we
penned the complimentary arti-
cles, but We thought it was nee
essary to cater to Jim in order
to get his trade. We might say,
now that we have determined to
tell the truth at all hazards, that
Jim runs about the dirtiest gin
shop in this town and sells the
rottenest article OF booze. Most
OF it never saw a distillery, butts
made up in the back room OF the
Joint out OF rainwater. fusel oil,
plug tobacco and strychnine.
Two drinks OF the stuff that Jim
sells in violation of both the
state and federal law would
make any man willing to CON-
nit any crime from petit larceny
to murder and a single drink will
make a man forget how to tell
the truth. Jim calls his place a
pharmacy, but all the drugs
there are i'm the place could be
carried in a quart bucket and
Jim knows about as much about
the profession OF pharmacy as a
Billie goat knows about the NOR.

first named congregation in Deem
Der, 1903, in an attempt to quiet the
