GARDENERS
MANUAL

The Gazette can now, for the
first time, offer a very helpful
guide for Southern gardeners, ia
the new work of Prof. J. S.
Newman. He has long taught
this branch and practiced it, and
his book is the only practical
one OF the kind in print for
Southern conditions. Very help
tut information is given on all
kinds OF Vegetables and small
fruits, including instructions on
com batting parasite and insect
pests, on what, when and how to
plant. If its instructions r
followed it will save labor, in.
crease yields, give a variety of
wholesome food, make gardening
a pleasure, and supply fresh
s~ucculcnt food /, months in the
year. The price OF the book is
81, and orders can be sent d,.
rect to the Gazette; or IS cents
can be added to what is RENTED
lot inc IaLettc, n the book
will be sent to subscribers.
Both those who have aud those
who have not had wide expert.
ence with vegetables and small
fruits will certainly be aided by
the book. The Gazette could
not afford to make these state
ments without good reasons,
and hopes its subscribers will
benefit by this arrangement to
give them a reduced price on
the book. 1t is not large, but is
pointed. 1t is not wild theoriz-
ing, but a statement of how good
work has been done with ease
and profit by a practical man.

Natural forest resources. This
IS probably due to the fact that
they have been compelled to
struggle against the forest In
order to earn a livelihood. Clear.

During the past - years the
forests OF Mississippi have pro-
duced wealth worth 500 600, 900

WILL SELL DIRECT.
DaIrymen Of State Viii Fix Upon a
New Plan.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The dairymen of the state will meet
in the former secretary of states office
in the old capitol, st. Paul, March %.
The meeting is the outcome of plan
proposed at a meeting of the Minnesota
State Dairymen's association, held at
Owatonna in January, when it was de-
cided to perfect an organization for mu
tual benefit and cooperation among the
members of the trade in disposing of
their butter products without having
to do so through the commission man.
The dairymen have for some time felt
the need of an organization of this kind,
and while it will be in the nature of an
experiment, it is thought that the plan
is a practical one. The idea is to have
the managers of the different dairies in
the state ship their butter direct to st.
Paul, where it will be stored and sold by
grades. The buyers can then buy direct
from the manufacturers, instead of CO.
ing to the creameries.

The subscribers of the stock of the
new canning company recently organic
picious that they have been worked, -
and have retained Pfau & Pfau of
this city to help them get the contract
with the Chicago parties who are build
ing the canning factory rescinded No
tice was served ON the wofkmen yes
terday or today to cease work.
The capital stock of the company is
$4,000, and from $50 to 200 farmers
and business men subscribed for the
stock. A contract was made with the
Chicago company that promoted the
organization for the factory building
and machinery. The company represent
ed that the profit would be sixty per
cent a year, but investigation of the
practical experience Of some of the
many factories that have been bl,iIt
is said to have shown that instead Of
being profitable they are often and per
haps generally losers, so that the com
panies are willing to sell ont at
small per cent of what has been in
vested. 1t is claimed that in the case
OF the Lake Crystal company cheap
machinery is being installed.
An action may have to be started in
the district court to get the contract
rescinded.

OPPOSED THE GATES BILL
Northern Minnesota Citizens Discuss
PrairIe Chicken Season.

st. Paul, March 1.-The bill of J. A.
Gates of Kenyon was discussed before
the house game committee. There were
present delegates from CroOkston. War,
rem and other places in the northern
part of the state. Among the number
were Martin 0Brien, a Crookston at
torney, and William j. Brown, of War
rem, attorney of his county.
Mr.. OBrien is president of a large
body of citizens at Crookston and yicin
ity, who have banded themselves topeth
Ell to see that the game laws are en-
forced, and that no chickens shall BIZ
shot during the closed season. They
have already succeeded in indictine sew
eral persons accused of breach of the
law
Mr.. OBrien maintains that this pro
posed law would not prohibit the shoot
ing of chickens any more than prohibf-
ton would prohibit the liquor traffic in
some localities. He says there are penty
OF chickens in the northern part of the
state. People will shoot them there in
spite of the law, and it would be diff
ficult to secure their conviction. The
closed season in Illinois for five years
did not bring any more chickens to that
state. The plowed fields was not their
natural home. They would stay on the
prairies and at the edge of civilization,
so to speak.
Mr. Brown voiced the sentiments of
Mr.. OBrien, and said that there was a
strong sentiment at Warren and vicin-
ity against the proposed law. He had
talked with a great many, and none
were in favor of it.

iciaI of Cass County.

st. Paul, March Charges of NAL
Sheriff Alexander B. Riddell, of Cass
county, by p NJ. Ringdahl, of the state
board of control, late yesterday.
The complaint asks Governor Johnson
to remove the sheriff from office fol
making false reports of expenses incur.
red while removing prisoners from

reformatory, and states that the state
paid Riddell money upon these false re.
ports.

statement to the state auditor he certi,
fled that he was accompanied from
Walker to st. Cloud by Fred Ritz, who
acted in the capacity of guard. The ad-
ditional expense of this guard was
$780, said the sheriff.
The member OF the DOafd alleges Cnat
Riddell was unaccompanied on this trip,
and that the sheriff converted the money
to his own use.
Governor johnson has appointed Har-
vey w. Grimmer, his executive clerk, a
special commissioner, to take testimony.
This he will do in st. Cloud on March 9.
Riddell was appointed to fill the unex-
pired term of George L. Hardy, who died

and very critically so of late, and il
was deemed that an operation for gal
stones would be the only means. of saw,
ing her, if at all. She was operated up.
on yesterday morning, but did not have
sufficient strength to recover
The deceased was one of: the early
residents, and had an extensive acquain-
lance and was highly esteemed by all
She was born in Germany and was
about seventy-two wears of age. She is
survived by her husband and one broth
er, who lives at Seattle, Wash.
Mrs. Homuth was a member of Mar
lit lodge No. 3, Sisters of the Sons of
Herman, and was active in it until her
health began to fail The lodge will
doubtless, arrange to attend the funeral
in body. The arrangements for the
funeral have not been completed, as it
is desired to hear from, relatives before
fixing the time. The family home is on
South Front street over store build
ing. r.
During the Indian outbreak in the
sixties Mrs. Homuth was one of those
who were taken captive by the redskins,
but her release unframed was subse-
quently secured. She experienced the vi
cissitudes of frontier life in southern
Minnesota, and saw Mankato grow from
a village to a thriving city,
Mrs. Homuth was suffering from Sc
we're case of cancer of the liver as well
as gall stones, and when the surgeons
discovered how hopeless was her case
they abandoned the projected operation
and closed the incision. They confident
ly believed that the patient would live
for two or three weeks, and she rallied
nicely and appeared to be doing very
well up to within three or four minutes
of her death. She conversed with the
nurses very naturally just before she
dropped off.
