POISONOUS PLANTS OF
THE UNITED STATES
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

Farmers from time to time send in
AmplaintS to the Department of Agri-
Hlture that not only their stock, but
wen farm hands, have been sickened
and killed through the presence
Of some poisonous plant on their farms.
DO frequently have these complaints
lrrived at the department that Off
Eials oe the Bureau of Plant Industry,
hnder the direction of Mr.. Frederick v.
Coville, the chief botaniSt, are now
making extensive experiments to as
certain the exact elements causing this
damage.
In order to aid farmers in the detec-
ton of the most common plants found
on their farms, the department has is
sued a farmers bulletin, No. sc, en-
titled Thirty Poisonous Plants of the
United States" This gives in detail
full descriptions of the plants, the
symptoms of the poisoning, and in
many cases antidotes for the relief Of
men or animals taking in the poison.
1t would be well for all agriculturists
to keep a copy of this pamphlet among
their ready reference books. The Off
cials of the Bureau of Plant Industry
are only too glad to furnish this most
valuable farmers bulletin to all who
may apply.
Destructive to Live Stock.
Probably the most destructive pois-
onous weed in the United States is the
loco; the damage is so extensive that
during the period between 1881 and
1885 the State of Colorado paid out
over 100000 in an endeavor to exter-
inmate the weed.
The foliage of the loco weed is not
the agent which imparts the poison to
live stock grazing upon land impreg-
mated with it. it is the roots and stalk
which contain the poison. Animals
under the influence of the stimulant go
through antics as though they were in
toxicated, their eyes become CLASSY,
they sprawl around in maudlin fashion
until, with sheer exhaustion, they fall
to the ground in a stupor. The effect
of the poison is not acute, but in it's
slow progress Stimulates diseases
caused by bacteria, worms or other
parasites. The stages of locoed ami
NAL are recognized by officials of the

To Keen Egg Records.

The Maine Experiment Station has
published description of a nest box
which is claimed to be simple and in
expensive, and certain in its action,
for use where it is desired to keep a
record of how hens are laying, in order
to weed out the poor ones of the flock.
The station has used these nests in ex-
periments undertaken to establish
breeds of hens that shall excel as egg
producers. A description of this box,
and how to make it can be found in
farmers bulletin No. ia, of the De-
partment of Agriculture.

Secretary Bonaparte, Farmer.

About Is miles from Baltimore is
the farm of Secretary Charles J. Bona
parte of the Navy. Before he became
the head of the Navy Department,Sec-
retary Bonaparte used to spend six
months of the year on his farm. He
arose daily at $50 and always took a
look over the place before breakfast.
After breakfast he would drive into
the city, arriving usually about the

The Week in District Court.

Court was in session all last week
until Saturday noon, when Judge Hob
son discharged the remainder of the
jury still on duty and and went home
to West Union, returning again yes
terday morning and taking up the
liquor case of Carter VS. Owen, which
together with the remainder of the
cases to be heard at this term, will
not need a jury. Court will probably
adjourn finally before the end of the
week.
AT the opening of court last week,
after the probate and default dockets
had been read, Judge Fellows heard the
case of Moore VS. M. w. A., being a
suit for the payment to the BENEFICIARY,
his mother, of the mount of the policy
of the late DR. Moore. The jury was
waived, and after hearing the case,
Judge Hobson decided for the defen.
dant, refusing to allow the claim.
Only two jury trials were had, those
OF StOskOpf VS.. Hagen, in which Stos-
kOpf built fence along the road and
Hagen, the road supervisor, thinking
the fence on the public road, tore it
down. The jury awarded Stoskopf $34
DANCES. he to pay costs himself. The
other was the case of Jos. Weitgenant
VS.. Ed Reum, residents of Ossian, a
dispute over the purchase and payment
for some hay in the formers barn by
the latter, the jury finding for the de-
PENDANT. Other matters considered by
the court were minor affairs of interest
only to the parties directly concerned.

much for DEBORAH and Winneshiek
county, as well as Waukon and ALA
makee county, the Upper Iowa Power
Co. have at last come to a realization
of their hopes. All the details lead
ing up to the construction of the big
dam and water power plant six miles
down the river. which will supply
power to furnish electric current TO
DEBORAH and Waukon, have been COM
pleted, and last week orders were placed
for thirty carloads of cement The
construction work will be under the
personal supervision of Mr.. Beardslee,
a man of much experience in this
line of work, who is thoroughly
competent TO push it forward rapidly
and successfully. Within less than

high bluffs surrounding it, covered
with rocks, burr oak and other hand
some trees, with several sparkling
springs emptying their waters into
the lake, and cottages dotting the
hillsides, we can picture scene
which will soon become famous for
its beauty.
1t is not at all unlikely that the
lake which the daming of the river
will form will be called Lake Oneota,
this being the Indian name of the Up

bunch soaked it to our sister town in
a twelve inning game, by the score OF

effort toward getting together regu-
lar team for this season which will
bring many games to DEBORAH. He
will no doubt have plenty of local
encouragement.

Anniversary Opening is Attractive.

The opening of the thirtieth busines
anniversary at the store of Ben Eelr
on Saturday was unique and extra
ordiary occasion for Decorah's square
dealer. The store was beautifully
decorated with bunting, potted plants,
cut flowers, ETC., and delightful music
was furnished by the Bryson orchestra
during the afternoon and evening.
Although the inclement weather
gretly lessened the attendance, yet
the store was filled during the after
noon and evening with hundreds of
personal friends OF Mr.. Bear, who
called TO extend congratulations befit-
ting the occasion, and many of them
took advantage of the opportunity to
make purchases. Mr.. Bear was the
recipient of many letters and tele-
grams OF congratulation from friends
outside of the city. rs well as some
very beautiful gifts.
The anniversary sale continues
throughout the week, and promises
to be the greatest similar occasion
in the history Of the store.
