DIVORCE WAS NOT GRANTED.
WO-cat-sie Failed to Prove That Hi
Wife Was Cruel.

An Indian divcrcoe case was tried
out in the circuit court yesterday and
furnished one of the most spectacular
trials since Judge H. ]. Bean donned
the robes of his office. 1t was the
case OF Wo-cat-sie, sometimes known
as Willie, VS.. his wife Julia. Carter
& Raley had the case for the plaintiff
and ]. II. Raley conducted the same
in court, while Dan P.@Smythe appear
ed In behalf of the defendant.
According to the allegations of the
plaintiff his wife had been cruel in
the extreme to hime and had also in
dulged in behavior that was not be-
coming in a wife. He made serious
reflections regarding her conduct
while at the Lapwai reservation on a
certain visit. Uron this last point and
other similar offenses some very direct
! tes timony was given.
by way of defense Attorney Smythe
undertook to disprove the charges OF
cruel treatment and to shop thai
while the defendant might have stray
cd from the paths of virtue, the plain
tiff, Willie, had gone very st-onE
along the same line himself. In sup
port of this theory several Indies o.
the reservation We're placed on thj
stand and gave evidence that caused
the red paint upon their faces to as
sumo deeper hue.
After having listened all day to thu
case, Judge Rean declared that th'
evidence of cruel treatment had no
been sufficiently strong and tina. up
on the ''othcr point the facts show
cd both parties in the case to he equal
iy amiss. Consequently he denied IN
suit and placed the charges agains
the plaintiff.

Cold Storage for Farmers.

Putting first class apples in cold stor-
age for sale in late winter or early
spring, is usually very profitable, says
Farming. Other fruit and farm pro-
ducts may also be stored to advantage.
The expense of a cold storage plant
precludes its use by most fruit grow
ers. Cooperation among farmers will
sometimes be possible along this line.
Oranges and other farmers %organiza-
lions may do educational and practical
work also. But available for every
farmer are the refrigerator plants now
found in almost every city. Rooms or
space may be rented as Il needs. Gen
orally 1t is best to store in the city
where it is intended to sell, that the
produce may be on the ground in case
Of an advantageous market. Many a
grower Of fine fruit would be dollars
ahead by availing himself of cold stor-
age facilities.

Wheat.

Grant Robinson of st. Paul, Mimi,
has purchased 10000 acres of land in
Preside county, Texas, which he Will
devote to the culture Of macarOni
wheat ON a scale the largest ever at
tempted in the world. Extensive prep
arations are now going forward for
the contamination of the plans Of the
capitalist. Seed for planting will be
brought to his country from h Vol
ga region Of Russia.
The field will be cultivated on the
very latest and most improved method
Of wheat farming. Monster stake
plowS will be utilized in breaking up
the land in fact, all of the latest types
Of farming machinery will be used on
the plantation.
Mr.. Robinson proposes to have the
largest and best managed wheat farm
in the world. He will build a system
Of tenant houses and supply the wants
of his laboring men from Il commiSsary.
A school will be built for the children
Of the laboring men, as we'll as church
es. etc. The farm is near Valentine,
accessible to the railroad, and has
proven under tests to be admirably
adapted to the culture of macaroni
wheat.

The Worry Habit,

1t II strange how we borrow trouble
From the first day that we speak a
piece at school until the doctor shakes
his head and asks US II we've got our
will made, we are dreading something.
If nothing else we worry about our
neighbors having more than we've got.
The fellow counting worries because
he is afraid his gal won't say yes, and
when he's got her he worries because
1t costs SO much to keep her. We o
ry ourselves old and wrinkled and gray,
and more than all this world worry
about the next. If there is anything J
like it Is a person with a cheerful ma.
ture, that won't worry and borrow

Early spinach is seeded in the fall.
The ground should be plowed and made
fine, Plenty of well-rotted manure ap-
piled, and the seed sown in rows about
16 inches apart, which should be done
with a seed drill having q small roller
to cover and press the earth on the
seeds, the depth Of planting the seeds
being about half an inch. The seed
should be sown before cold weather
sets in. When the plants are up let
them grow until the ground is frozen,
and then cover with straw, which
should be removed early in the spring.
Spinach is a very hardy plant and is
seldom injured by cold.

Lime

Every gardener likes to use n slim
ulating fertilizer to hurry the crops
along. For this purpose nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia are most fire.
Quently employed. Nitrogen is the ele-
mcnt chiefly sought and all Known
means of obtaining it cheaply have
been tested. Lately much interest has
been shown in lime nitrogen or calcium
~Cyanamid. The results of recent expert
mcntS with this fertilizer indicate a
high value for it. In some tests 1t has
shown only so per cent Of the etfec-
tivenGSS of nitrate of soda while ID
other tests it proved superior.
Lime nitrogen seems to be harmful
If placed in direct contact with the
seeds or roots of plants. 1t should pre-
ferably be mixed with the soil and ap-
piled from eight to fourteen days be
fore seeding, 1t will then greatly has
ten the growth and maturity of gar
den plants. Some gardeners have
found that it IS best to mix the lime
nitrogen with the soil five to ten inches
below the surface. The best results
have been obtained by mixing the fer
tilizer with twice its weight of dry
soil before applying. Lime nitrogen
should not be applied at a greater rate
than 49, to 270 pounds per acre.
