SMUT TREATMENT.

I have seen wheat treated for
smut by sprinkling and shoveling
on a barn floor; by dipping with a
perforated scoop in. a. trough; by
filing a barrel with wheat and then
pouring on the mixture, and after
soaking, letting, the water off thru
q vent, then emptying the wheat
out and drying it; also, by using
the water tank method; but the
quickest, safest and most success
full method is as follows. Taketwo
boards sixteen feet long and one
foot wide and make two troughs
eight feet long. Out a kerosene
barrel in halves to make two tubs.
Set these tubs on the granary floor
nearly eight feet from wall, and
nail one end Of trough to wall
about six inches above top Of tub.
Put a concave six-inch board under
each trough to strengthen it and
carry off leak. Use gunny sacks
and dip one bushel at a time, let
ting grain remain in mixture about
two minutes. Six sacks can be set
il each trough and twill quickly
drain SO as to set on floor. In this
manner, 7 have dipped grain early
in the morning and sowed ii an or
ssdinary seeder after dinner without
removing grain from sacks to dry.
u have always made the solution
stronger than recommended ]. III.

FARMING WITH BRAINS.

The reason for the bountiful crops
in the United States within the
past eight or ten years may not be
assigned entirely to favorable eli
matte conditions or exceeding fer
tility of the soil, but on the other
hand the great output is the result
Of brains. Every year, more brains
are put into farming in this country
SO that the agriculturist of today
goes about crop raising with more
reasoning and capacity for under
standing the cause and effect of in
sect depridations, plant disease, etc.
IT is said that the most product
i've farms of the United States are
those in the northwest, where the
farmer is an. up-to-date business
man, keeping comprehensive books
and with a distinct and well thought
out system. MI ).
This system enables him to know
how much a crop costs, how to
grow it. and what profit it brings.
Newspapers and magazine are his
library, and he is quick to figure
out whether or not new methods of
cultivation and the new machinery
would be Of profit to him.-Ex.

The Garrison Times.

r. L. Mackey left Saturday for
Chicago, where he will do another
stunt in purchasing for the Geo.
L. Robinson stores.
G. E. Anstro1n, III. F. O'Hare and
Oscar Kierbow are erecting new
houses in the eastern part of town.
Prospects are good for Garrison to
have a building boom in the spring.
!, Endres items in the Underwood
Miner contained the following par
agraph:- -" The marriage of Miss
Ingra Ersha and Frank Smith was
great surprise to geeat many of
their friends. All join in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith a long and
prosperous life.''
Arrangements are being made
and funds raised by the Catholic
denomination to do considerable
building in Garrison during the
coming spring and summer. The
townsite company presented them
with six lots in the northeast part Of
town and upon them will be built
a church, parsonage and parochial
school.
At a meeting of the business men
on Friday evening, it was decided
to buy six dozen pals, six tubs and
three ladders to be used for fighting
fire, and to put up small building
to keep them in. This, at present,
constitutes the fre-fghting appa-
ratus Of the. Garrison fire depart
ment, but it is safe to predict: that
it will not be long as Garrison. is
made up of progressive business
men, who are sure to provide as soon
as practicable, an up-to-date system.
At another meeting on Monday ey-
ening, it was unanimously voted to
put down a tubular we'll on the
town lot, which is located just east
Of Garrison restaurant, and erect, a
windmill. Later, some kind of a
storage tank will be- built. Thisis
to be the "town WE'LL" and will be
kept in shape for the farmers to
use, thus avoiding l'uch trouble
that has heretofore been expert
enced. A committee consisting Of
Nc Gray, Theo. Taylor and I. F..
Mahowald was appointed and in
structed to carry the plans to COM
pletion. This is a splendid move
and is heartily endorsed by the
Times, which believes that a few:
dollars expended in this way for the
convenience of the farmers will tend
to make them feel more at home in
our little village, and will also show
that we appreciate their business.

Last fall, during the threshing
season we made some investiga-
tions regarding the treatment of
seed grain. In conversation with
a number of the farmers of the
county, we found that those who
had not treated their seed, the smut
was very bad. One instance in
particular was that of two farmers
on adjoining farms, one treated his
seed grain and the other did not.
The fields were only a few rods
apart and the grain of the former
was tree from smut and graded No.
1, while that of the latter was so
bad that the elevators did not care
for it. This is only one instance
among the many. Those who did
nor treat their seed grain last year
will certainly profit by their expe-
rience, which is a great teacher.

ing considerable attention, espec-
tally among those who subscribe

it will stand, we ask all who wish

SENSE OF BRIDGE COM
MITTEE MEETING LAST NIGHT

The meeting Of the several com
mittees at the city hall to discuss the
proposed wagon bridge at Tenth
street convened yesterday evening at
1890. Messrs. Logan. Thompson and
Charlton, the commissioners, were
there to explain the situation of the
county. all saying they would be in
favor Of permanent structure to
cost from $1,000 to $4,000 when the
county could appropriate its part Of
the money, that no appropriation for
such purpose could be made until
next November. and that the money
could not be available till the follow
ing April.
Alderman Casey was chairman OF
the meeting and Aldermen Rivers and
Logan were present; Judge Pike, Ed.
schalles. Frank Roper. T. C. Graden,
Dr. L. a. Barnes, w. II Wlgglesworth
and others were present.
Or. Barnes said he knew nothing of
the construction of bridges. simply
knew tne unquestionable need of a
bridge to the cemetery; he thought
all the lodges in the city would aid
substantially; that they would raise
more than $1,000, probably $4,000.
Mr.. Graden inquired II a right of
| way could be had over the railroad
| ground, and Chairman Casey said Rio
Grande officials had signihed their
Willingness to grant right Of way;

there is a Colorado statute by which
a mans property may be confscated

permits the confiscation of property to

An effort is being made to confs
