The charges against the state land

language:

The complaint explains the method of
selecting state lands, and says that the
state land board left the details OF the

Part In Conspiracy.
The complaint charges the officers, di-
rectors, employees and agents. of the coal
companies with instigating gconspiracies
to defTaud the government by securing
the land from the state at $3.50 an acre
instead of paying the legal price of $40

the fact that the state had certified to the

Cotton and Others Accused.
The other two bills deal with the secur-

the other directly or indirectly procured
men to perjure themselves in making en-
tries for the company, illegally.

While nearly every person under

spend valuable time hauling out the

lie from one season to another a most
fertile breeding place for all kinds Of
vermin and insect pests. The cellars
where apples have been stored, sheds
where packing was done last fall and
all old boxes, barrels or baskets used
in handling the crop furnish crevices
where the larvae and pupae of cod
ling moth may winter in safety. All
these traps and hiding places of the
worms should be renovated, fumigated

velopment of the flying moths which

1t Is interesting to note what the

business it shall be. upon request, to
visit any community ana give advice

and suggestions at any time.
The commission just appointed by
Gov. Deneen is composed of President

young farmer of the state, and

years figured in all the movements

NECESSITY FOR SPRAYING.
Successful orchardists Are the Most
Faithful in Treating the
Trees

The farm journals have been ad-
vising farmers for many years to
adopt spraying as means of controll-
Ing the fungous and insect pests that
destroy the crops in their orchards.
Slowly about all our orchardists
have come into line, but as yet there
are good many farmers with small
orchards that are taking their chances
with the apple scab and other pests.
We do not believe that it will be pos
sible. says the Farmers Review, to
get the very best results with
spraying till we have induced every
man that has an orchard to take meas
ures to protect that orchard from the
pests that assail 1t from the time the
buds begin to swell in the spring till
the leaves fall in the autumn. We have
watched the practice of spraying since
the process came into vogue and are
sure that it is process that the
farmer cannot afford to ignore. If
every farmer will take up the study
and practice of spraying in earnest,
the fruit crop of this country will be
enormously increased thereby

off through vent, then emptying the
wheat out and drying it; also by using
the wagon tank method; but the quick
est, safest and most successful method
is as follows: Take two boards 16 feet
long and one foot wide and make two
troughs eight feet long. Cut kero-
sene barrel in halves to make two
tubs Set these tubs on the granary
floor nearly eight feet from wall (see
and nail one end of trough
to wall about six inches above top CT
tub. Put concave six-inch board un-
der each trough to strengthen it and
carry off leak. Use gunny sacks and
dip one bushel at time. letting grain
remain in mixture about two minutes.
Six sacks can be set in each trough,
and will quickly drain so as to set on
floor. In this manner l have dipped
grain early in the morning and sowcd
in an ordinary seeder after dinner
without removing grain from sacks to
dry. l have always made the solution

ROOTS FOR DAIRY COWS.
Prove That They Should Be
More Largely Used.

Such experience as l have on this
subject has been mostly in the way of
experimenting. We have fed at this
station several years roots and also
silage says A. L. Hacker, Dairy Hus-
bandman at University of Nebraska.
In an experiment to test the value Of
roots OF sugar beets as compared with
silage we found the latter gave about
the same results, and could be pro-
duced for about one-half the cost of
the beets. However, l find some ami
mails do not care much for ,silage and
greatly prefer the beets or mangles.
Such animals will invariably do better
II fed on beets l am a firm believer
In the use of succulent feeds, not only
for dairy cattle, but also for fattening
stock and sheep. When fed to fat
stock, roots should not be given in
large quantities. and small rations will
greatly assist digestion and keep the
animal in healthy condition. l so

preference to the silage., I have fed
turnips but find them much inferior to
sugar beets, being too watery, and
they are not relished by the stock.
Have also tried rutabagas, but have
not had very much experience with
these roots. l find no root raised in
this country that is so relished by live
stock as sugar beets. This, no doubt,
is due to so much saccharine SUBJ
stance.
On the whole, believe we should
advocate the growing of more root
crops. Great improvements could be

no doubt but that the tendency will.

made aware OF the existence of the IL
Coming 10 the knowledge OF the people
of this city when the charter oonven-
tlon received a protest therefrom and
made the protest public The protest
was of length similar to the name OF
the body putting it forth, filling a
printed pamphlet OF some 16 pages.
That the association is made up of
members of zeal is indicated by the
fact that the protest to the charter
convention arrives before the conven-
ton has received any request from the
sutfrasists themselves for extension of
suffrage, before the committee has
made any sign that would tend to rouse
forebodinGs in anti-suffragist ranks.
1t is of interest to note the reasons
the antis bring forward why women
should not have part in municipal vot-
ing-published statements of this sort
something of a novelty. The ladies
making protest. declare that school
suffrage has been proved anything but
success in the % states that have
average vote of women has been less
than four per cent. In many states
this 'woman's right" has been almost
wholly neglected, not infrequently an
entire county failing to register a sin
gle woman. In Chicago the year of the
first exercise of the ballot, there was a
goodly vote, 29,S15 then registering;
lut ha itr
about 1000 women register.
Another reason given by the antis
Is that on the administrative side wO-
men members of school boards have
shown no success. (This is pretty
positive statement. and without doubt
open to denial) Then we are informed
that in the four states having full suf-
frage, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Col
orado, women have not improved the
corporate action of municipalities"
and that in Kansas, where there is
municipal suffrage, the temperance
situation has not been improved: fur
thermore, in Colorado the women of
the "redlight districts have taken
prominent part in political action.
Then the protest lays before the char
ter convention this statement: ut is
estimated that there are in this city
(Chicago) not far from $1,000 women
Of openly immoral life, who are known
to the police and more or less under
their protection or persecution, as the
case may be. all of whom must be en-
franchised if municipal suffrage is
given to women"

TO KEEP DOWN WEEDS.
Fight Which the Farmer Has to

In keeping down weeds l find IL
best to cultivate as long as possible,

very persistent we SOW cow peas in
the corn fields, as these COW peas are

some by adding nitrogen to it, says
J. R. Fulkerson, of Jersey county, Illi-
nois, in writing to the Farmers Re-
view. We have been troubled some
with the morning glory or bind weed.
We find that thorough cultivation
keeps it down, but another means is to
turn in sheep which will keep it eaten
to the root. This results in the root
dying. We have very few weeds in
our small grain fields but frequently

The latter process is preferred. The
most stroublesome weeds in this To-

regarding weeds is in this locality d
