High. h.Class Lectures and lnstruc.
tive Demonstrations On
the Program.

The Farmers Institute to be held
here today and tomorrow promises
to be one Of the best ever held in
the county. Several new features
are to be introduced, such as prac-
tical demonstration in stock Judging
and in the cleaning and SELECTION
Of seed grain. Every farmer within
driving distance of Worthington
should attend all the sessions. The
value of the institute to the farmers
has been so often recounted that it
seems Unnecessary at at this tine to
do so. If the farmer would keep
in touch with the rapid progress
made in all branches of agricultur,
he must avail himself of every ,op-
portunity to gain information, ard
in securing such men as Prof.
Boss and Prof. Parker the local
committee has been especially for
tunate. They both rank among the
highest authorities in their special
lines. The following is the pro-

THE PoPPEN CASE
NOW ON TRIAL
The Defense is Putting Up a Fight
and Sharp Legal Battle
is On.
Trial Attracting Considerable In
terest and Promises to Last
All the Week.

The only case tried at the present
term of court attracting more than
passing interest. is that Of state vs..
Sievert and Herman Poppen, Of Elk
township, who were indicted last
week on three counts each one
charging grand larce ~ in the first
degree and tho others charging the
same crime in the second degree.
The substance of the several charg-
es is that of appropriating several
head of stray cattle and disposlng
OF them, and of taking up certain
stray horse belonging to Chas. Row.
Icy, of Wilmont, and disposing of
it, then stea1ing the horse back and
destroying it to hide the crime. The
case now on trial is that of stealing
the horse from Anton Lamacick, to
whom the Poppens sold it. The case
is being ably prosecuted by County
Attorney Jones, assisted by Ex-
County Attorney Crandall, who
secured the facts in the case last
fall. Judge G.. W. Wilson is con-
Quoting the defence and is being as
sisted by Judge l.. S. Nelson, of
slayton, they are putting up fine
legal fight. The principal witness
for the State is Acel Pierman, the
youth who worked on the Poppen
farm, and who claims he sold the
horse for the defendant in this case.
Last fall he was sent to the reform
atory for his share in the transac-
.sstion. aad il Mas his 00nfaasio,1 sat
that time which revealed the the
facts which resulted in the indiot-
ment of sievert and Herman Poppen
His story was very cicumstantial
and has been verified in several re-
speets and it looks hard for the de-
fendant. The Poppen's have long
borne an unsavory reputation in
this neihborhood.
Two special venires of jurymen
were summoned before jury was
accepted.
The other cases disposed of since
our last issue are rs follows:
Ben Voss vs. Seivert Poppen, dis
missed without costs.
Jas. Burke vs. Thomas J. F agan,
both of Ellsworth, verdict for plain
tiff for &14.
Jas. Cox vs.. Fred Keisling, con-

DEADLY DYNAMITE,

Daily papers Of a recent date have
contained an account Of an Indiana
farmer who stubbed his toe in crawl
Ing through or over a barbed wire
fence with stick Of dynamite with
which he was planning to blast out
big stump, with the result that not
enough Of his physical anatomy could
be assembled to justify the holding Of
funeral. 1t is true that the old fash
Toned way Of grubbing with grub hoe
ana ak is trifle tedious and hard on
fellows back, but ones mortgage on
the future is not SO likely to be fore
closed if he employs it rather than the
more rapid and risky dynamite meth
od, where the chances are excellent
that he will stub his toe or make some
other miscue and be blown into king
dom come. If fellow has any regard
for his relatives feelings and doesn't
want to mature his life Insurance pol
Icy in the twinkling OF an eye, he
should pass the dynamite method up.

AN ETHICAL QUESTION.

While the writer has not made q
practice of raiding his neighbours hem
coops and only once when a youngster
remembers doing so and that time get
ting caught, he has Of late figured out
the ethics involved in appropriating
the eggs laid in his barn by neighbors'
hens and has concluded both from the
practical and theoretical standpoint
that such eggs are his meat and that
the equities Of the case Justify such
seQuestration. He is now having fresh
eggs for breakfast every morning
which grateful biddies deposit in the
barn in return for the use Of his prem
ises as a scratching ground and the
rose bed for dust bath. In this case
possession is nine points of the law,
and actual consumption makes it ten.

Inferior Cuts OF Meat,

The so called inferior cuts of meat
are taken from those portions of the
animal which are most constantly in
motion during the life; hence they are
tough and stout of fiber So far as
nutrition goes, however, they are to be
preferred to the very tender portions
(such as beef tenderloin), which con-
tain a smaller percentage of body max
ing material. It is necessary to give
them an entirely different treatment
to make them palatable when served.
Long cooking at a somewhat low heat
is needed to give tenderness and i'm

Peculiar Ice.

! A remarkable form Of Ice, which the
French Canadians name fraZil ice, is
the cause Of the packing up of ice and
consequent floods in the st. Lawrence
river. 1t forms in spiky shapes where
the currents are too rapid for ordinary
sheet ice to spread across them and
at the base of waterfalls. During the
prevalence of cold winds the icy nee
dies sometimes fill up open channels
and, being carried long distances be-
meath the surface ice, gradually ac-
cumulate and consolidate and are liza
bic to dam the channel even to depths
Of eighty feet.

TWO NEED pEsTS


A reader OF these notes who owns q
farm near Edinburg, III. writes for
information as to how to get rid Of
morning glories and miIkweed. He
states that on a part Of one forty of
his 24O acre farm, which is black, level
land, the milkWeeds grow rank. Sow
ed to oats they are thick. and if plant
ed to corn they are still bad On an
other piece the morning glories are
about as bad. Our correspondent
states that his tenant works hard to
get rid Of the pest, but without sue
cess. While the letter contains prac
tlcally no data relative to the previous
care Of the farm, it would seem more
than likely that the fields in question
nave got into the condition they have
through failure to follow a careful sys-
TEN OF crop rotation, in which clover
forms an important part. Where such
rotation is observed covering a period
OF from five to seven years the diff
Guilty OF the weed problem is greatly
s1mplified But the weeds are in pos
is the question. Where the patches OF
milkweed are not large the most eff
fectiye method would be clean cultiva-
ton In corn with surface or knife cul-
tiyators and hand work, with the
hoe as finisner Of course this in
wolves a good deal Of work, but the
getting rid of any weed pest means
this. II the milkweeds are located in
patches of considerable size, such spots
could be left until early June, plowed,
disked and narrowed two or three
times during an interval of ten days
and then sown thickly with corn or
sorghum. Any milkWeeds- that started
under these circumstances would have
pretty hard shedding. Giving treat
ment of this character is of little use
1t the fence rows and roadsides adj
joining the fields are allowed to mature
a crop of seed to be scattered over the
plOWed fields which have been rid OF
the pest with much pains. The morn
ing glory is much worse than the
milkweed, because 1t is q perennial
and multiplies by root stock under
ground as well as by seed. Where
fields become badly infested with the
morning glory it is sometimes neces-
sary to give field the sorghum or
broadcast corn fodder treatment indi-
Gated above, a summer following with
frequent disking and narrowing, or
put it into pasture for two or three
years. In case Of both Of these weeds,
as with others that might be mention
ed 1t is of great assistance, in case the
field is in corn for the season, to SOW
rape about the time Of the last cultiva-
ton. This serves to occupy the ground
and will choke out and keep the weeds
in check. Along in September and Oc-
tober cattle, hogs anu sheep may be
turned in to pasture the field down.
Morning glories do best in loose con-
ditlon OF soil, and where they are very
bad putting the infested piece into
pasture is perhaps the most satisfac-
tory way. Ii the farm in question was
infested with weeds when the present
! tenant took charge, the landlord should
| be willing to do anything he can and
undergo considerable expense to help
his tenant get rid Of the weeds. The
cost of eradication is often consider
able, and the landlord should bear his
part, as it will be money in his pocket
in the long run.

A sharp knife and a pliable slender
twig, which can be cut from the tree
tools for putting the apple tree borer
out Of business. In our own work in
the orchard we have found the twig
mentioned superior to the wire which
is used by a good many. Every borer
in the orchard should be killed before
June |, and particularly the borers that
have been at work two years, as early
In June they transform from borer to
beetle, escape from the tree and short
ly after lay scores Of eggs, which soon
hatch into little borers that straight
way get busy at their nefarious busi-
ness.

as friend of man rather than one Of

not be exterminated, but rather pro-
