death by two neighbors unless he
signed check for $40 is the substance
of a compliant made by Phillip Glunt,
farmer living five miles north of

McGee. Glunt. who is a man of sixty
years, claims that two brothers named
Furley came to his farm and tried to
compel him to give them an order on
Berthold bank for $40, which they
claimed he owed them.
Glunt denied that he owed them any,
thing and refut- d to sign the check
Then, according to his story, they took
him into the barn and beat him unmer-
cifully and threatened to kill him I'M
less he complied with their demands
Glunt says he believes the men inten-
ccd to carry out their their threats,
and SO at last he signed the order, but
wrote on it that it was signed under
duress
Glunt hitched up his team as soon as
he was able and drove to the bank to
stop payment on the check, but found
that it had been paid.

Good Prices For Apples.

It is apparent that growers should
have little difficulty in contracting ap-
pies at remunerative prices this sea-
son, says American Agriculturist. In
stead Of acting bearish, as a year ago,
buyers are frankly acknowledging that
they expect to be compelled to give
more money for the coming crop than
they did for that Of 1904. Offers Of
$3.50 to So per barrel are not uncom-
mon. In Michigan many orchards have
been sold at 81 to S1.75 for fruit as it
stands on the trees. Some growers
with fancy apples say they will hold
out for 50 to So. In parts Of Ohio
buyers have bid $3.50 for early fruit,
and in New York fall stock is being
contracted around So. Contracts re-
ported in western New York for win

northward into British America, anoth
err from east central Mexico northward
through New Mexico, western Texas
western Oklahoma, into Colorado, while
third is restricted to two large and
widely separated districts in the Unit
ed States. One of these districts in
cludes portions of Alabama, Georgia
and Florida, while the other includes
much Of the great low plain of the Mis-
sissippi valley and extends from the
Rio Grande northward to southern Min
nesota and Wisconsin and from eastern
Illinois westward into Colorado and
eastern Wyoming
The pocket gophers all have the ex-
ternal pouches, strong lower jaws, fore
feet strongly developed for digging and
very small eyes and ears.
The prairie pocket gopher is abun-
dant in the eastern part Of the state
and is the most formidable mammalian
pest with which Kansas farmers have
to deal. It's damage to the alfalfa
growers Of the state alone amounts to
more than 100000 yearly. This dam,
age is not directly in the destruction of
the alfalfa plant so much as it is in the
interference with the work of cutting
ing to cut the plant far above the
ground to avoid running into the
mounds thrown up by the gophers
This loss amounts to about one-tenth
Of the entire crop. Besides the damage
to alfalfa, there is similar one to clio,
yer, timothy and native meadows and
the direct destruction Of vegetable gar.
dens and other crops. This species does
similar damage to crops in Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dako,
tas, Nebraska and Missouri, a section
of the most fertile land in the entire
country.
The prairie gopher is Of dark liver
color, lighter on the under part, and
has pure white feet, with longer claws
than any other species.
Pocket gophers are easily poisoned.
They are very fond Of common pota-
toes, sweet potatoes, apples, raisins
and prunes. The presence Of strych-
nine, arsenic or other poisons does not
seem to deter them from eating the
food but if the poison is sweetened
they seem to eat it more readily. In
summer it may be desirable to take
the trouble to sweeten the poison, but
in the fall and early spring it does
not seem worth while to do this.
A tool devised for the purpose Of In
Producing the poisoned food into the
burrow is a spade handle shod with

Will Meet the Trust.

Stillwater.-The state board of con-
troll and Warden Wolfer of the peni-
Tertiary are ready to meet the compe-
tition of the binding Irvine trust,
which is about to start a fax Irvine
plant in St Paul, and run the prison
Irvine plant out of business by under
selling it in the state.
It the trust plant cuts into the mar
ket for prison Irvine, the state will
carry the war outside, and force the
trust to meet competition in the sur
rounding states.
Under the present law, the prison
authorities may go outside the state
to sell any Of the products left on hand
after July !. That is late in the day
to sell Irvine, but if the state has any
trouble next season in disposing of it's
output, the legislature will be asked
to change the law so the state can go
outside and sell the prison output any
time after May l. That would give
the trust some trouble, The present
plan is to break the market only in
Minnesota, in order TO kill off the
prison plant. The trust is not looking
for competition all over the northwest.
