MEMORY OF PRINCE
Death of Japan's Greatest and

(By Associated Press.)

ST. PETERSBURG, October 2s.---
The organs of the government in their
issues yesterday, make the statement
that the death of Prince Ito of Japan
is Russia s loss, as it is the loss of all
governments. In spite of he fact that
the clash with the orinetai power left
the White Kingdom in ferment that
has not yet entirely subsidized, and that
the late Prince was factor in Japa-
nese diplomacy, itself initiating
against the Asiatic policies of Russia,
the statement bears the stamp Of con-
viction rather than policy. The tribute
to Ito from this quarter is considered
the greatest. e

Paper Does Not Comment.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The
Korean newspaper published here
makes no comment on the assassination
Of the late Prince Ito of Japan. Its
silence is causing speculation in capital
circles but it is supposed that the
situation Is too delicate to be handled
in the heat Of passion so close to
diplomatic cirles.

Grow Tame. Hay.

With wild hay worth ten ana
twelve dollars per ton, there is no
reason why the farmers could not
make. a, nice little sum each year by
sowing grass seed. Hay in this VIC
unity, and. in fact ali over this part
of the county, was never SO scarce
as it is this spring, and those who
know, say there will be less wild
hay cut this year. Lee & Reynolds
have already shipped in; two car
loads OF bailed hay, all OF which had
been spoken for before the car was
ordered There are several different
kinds of tame hay that will grow
here and make a good yield to the
acre, bring a good p ice and would
be good for the land. Time was
when one could get plenty OF good
wild hay here for four and five dol
lars per ton, but no more. Better
arrange to SOW a part Of the fields to
some kind of grass seed. Alfalfa

- Now is the time to kill the gophers
The time to begin a crusade. against
the hOuse-Hy and the bedbug. While
the farmer is wondering how he may
get rid of the gopher, the farmers
wife is longing for means, of de-
stroying the pests that infest the
house.
In order to do any thing worth
while in this line the woman should
know the life history of these IN
sects. Too few women recognize the

The common house fly lays It's

One fly MY lay between 40 ana
so eggs in single day or thousands
during her life time. These eggs
hatch in about day from the time
they are laid and it takes about the
week for the baby fly to mature
Thus we see why it is that from d
few flies. in the spring we have 'ho
countless millions III the summer

!. There still some farmers who will
run the risk of sowing their grain
without treating it with formalde-
hyde We talked with one OF them
the other day and here is his logic:
II don't think 1 will use formalde-
hyde on my fax this year because 1t
is too much bother. Wstting thu
max makes it stick together and it
does not readily run from the drill. :"
This is great logic. The farmer who
is too busy to treat his seed, know
ing as he does the danger there is
there is from wilt. smut and other
diseases, certainly should not COM
plain if he does not get his seed
back. This same farme" said he
would not run his grain thru a fan
ming mill because the seed was toler-
ably clean. Thank heaven, there
are getting 10 be fewer OF these kind
of farmers every year.

Many farmers in this vicinity to-
day are buying their butter; meat and
potatoes. three Of the most important
factors in a good living. This is GER
tainly wrong. Every farmer should
produce these things in sufficient
quantities SO that he would not have
to buy them, but on the other hand
he should. have some Of each to sell.
No country can be overly prosperous
where the farmer does not raise at
least living for himself and family.

TO Prepare Sryehnia Poison.

Bring one quart ofsvinegar to boil
ing, add one ounce of strychnin
stir with a stick until fully dissolved
and then add six quarts Of hot
water. Pour this on twenty pounds
of wheat corn and allow to stand fol
about eighteen hours or until the So
luton is entirely absorbed but the
mass must be frequently stirred
vigorously so that will now be
spread out to dry, where it can not
be reached by animals OF children
for you have highly poisonous
grain.
Now dissolve six pounds of sugar
in six quarts of water and boil un.
til one gallon remains and then al
low to cool. When cold add one
tablespoon Of anis oil (can be had at
any drug storey You now have a
thick syrup which should be poured
over the nearly dry poisoned grain
and the whole stirred 80 as to cover
each grain with layer Of syrup
Allow the grain to thoroly dry, stir
ring so as to prevent it sticking in a
mass. The odor Of anis oil Is very
attractive to the gopher and each
kernel should contain enough poison
to destroy one gopher. This sugar
coated grain can be used at any time
but great care should be taken to
prevent any possible poisoning OF
birds or animals. A little OF this
grain buried near each gopher bur-
row will be pretty sure to attract
and destroy -; victim.
