A. E. Mouser, a farmer, residing liz
Clarno township, was loading furni
ture in rear of r. c. McCallister's store
when the team became frightened and
started to escape. Turning short at
the corner of the building, the team at
tempted to pass through the narrow
space between the McCaliister building
and the one adjoining on the north
The team succeeded IN getting into the
narrow alley but there was not enough
room for the wagon to enter and the
horses were brought up standing with
a suddenness that was SURF rise to
them. Mr.. Mouser soon had control of
the animals and they were led out be-
tween the buildings to Egan avenue

straps of the harness resulted.

INSANE MAN.
Armed With Gun Attacks Bon
Homme County
Farmer.

Scotland, May 15.--Flick, a Bon
HomIne county farmer, owes his life
to his heetness of foot, and the fact
that he was able to reach the friendly
shelter of chicken-coop and thus es
cape the bullets which were intended to
end his life.
The man who fred the bullets at him
was James Hijek, neighbor. The
trouble between the two men was
caused by some cattle belonging to Hi
jek. 1t is charged that Hijek made a
practice of turning his cattle loose, to
the great annoyance and damage of his
neigbhors Flick has been greatly an
noyed by the straying of Hicks cat
tie, and when he found them tramping
down the sprouting grain in one of his
fields patience ceased to be virtue.
He imponded the animals and sent
word to their owner.
HijeK Immediately armed himself
with rifle and then proceeded to
Flick place, where after first releas-
| ing his cattle he went ginning for
Flick. Flick saw him coming and ran
with all speed to the shelter of the hen
house, and this prompt action saved
his life, for none of the bullets hit him.
There being some doubt about the
mentatl condition of Hijek, he was
taken bs fo o the county board of insan-
|ity, which found that he was insane
and ordered that he be placed in the
state hospita for the insane at Yank-
ton

prevent rot, etc. We told you about
this before.
Beware of the red rust in the black
cap or blackberry patch. When it APP
pears, at once dig out and burn the in
fected plant.
Remove the old raspberry canes as
soon as they have fruited; also re-
move weak, superfiuous new ones.
Burn all such cuttings at once.
Continue to cultivate and hoe the
strawberry plants set this spring.
When enough runners are secured in
each row, cut off all others, just as If
they were weeds.
Beware of exposing blackberries to
the sun after they are picked. Sun
to a rusty, dun, unpleasant-looking
red. Get the berries into packing shed
or crate as soon as possible. and then
into cool cellar until shipping time.
Extra-fine grapes are secured by
cutting off the weaker, inferior
punches, or where punches are too
close together. and then enclosing
each remaining bunch in paper bag.
Cheap, ordinary paper bags, pinned or
tied into place, will do. Bagged fruit
escapes insect ravages, ripens better
and earlier and is choicer in quality
and finer In ppearance.-Farm Jour

carried on go to show that fruit thor

with the interior of the car thoroughly
cooled before IT is iced, show
marked lessening in the quantity OF
ice required for the car TO complete
the journey. AT the same time, says
Field and Farm, the fruit is kept in
much better condition than when
placed on board when warm and then
cooled after the car has been closed
up, condition that to certain ex-
tent causes sweating of the fruit, in

to almost a minimum and the cost oil

on any particular saint.
Finally a committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was member, was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
trip to New York. and there visited
gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association Is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent medicines.
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers Of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township =
some 10000 correspondents in all
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held In June of this year expressed
hope that larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the rst time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
27,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and its total assets are s291,-
567S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21 ,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 a year, and the purpose
Of the organization is to dominate |
the field of medicine. and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
al of the people of the United States

Walnut Forests Not common.

The walnut is nowhere a gregari-
Gus tree, but usually occurs in scat
tered groups or as isolated individuals
among the associated species. Within
the limits of its range there are re-
gions where it is almost unknown,
while within few miles it may be
common, although conditions in both
regions seem identical. In the river
valleys of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and
Kentucky 1t is found associated with
the naples, hickories, oaks. Eastwood,
cherry and other hardwoods of the
region, although not always inter
mingling closely with them. West of

The Proper Cut.

which it originated, says Farm and
Home. The wound at this point will
be larger but will heal over sooner;
the food in passing down the cam
blum layer is constantly passing the
wound and, pushing out, callus over it.
Large wounds require several years to
heal over. During this time the wound
should be covered with something
which will shut out the rain and dis
eases. Any good paint makes by far
the best covering. Tar, wax, white
wash, etc, are sometimes used but
are poor substitutes for paint. The
picture shows a common way of cut
ting, which leaves long stub, also the
right way to cut close.

HOW TO CUT WHEN PRUNING.
Don't Leave a Long Piece of Branch
Sticking From Tree.

When a branch is cut off, the ex-
posed wood has no power to heal
itself as the wood cells are lifeless,
but If the conditions are right, mass
of tissue pushes out from the cam
blum layer (the living layer between
outer bark and wood and covers the
wound. The covering is a protection.
The wound. until covered, is exposed
to the weather, fungi and insects.
The greatest mistake is usually made
in cutting off the branch too far from
its origin. If large stub it left, a,
it can never heal over, as no food
passes out to this point.
The cut should be made as close
as possible to trunk of trees, b, from
