IN HONOR OF ST. PATRICK.

The Ladies Reading Circle has a
three-fold object Whether or not
they pursue the serious components
of their triform aim is not for the
world to know, but that they are keen
for the cultivation Of "sociability" is
patent to all. They issued invitations
this week to many an O'Flannigan
Toole or Duouegan "and man." to at
tend a general diversion on Paddy's
Day in the evening, to meet Pat and
sure tbs welcome yez will be to the
home Of Bridget O'Keenan. Bridget
and man assisted by their small son,
Pat. in native costume, received their
guests who were also attired in the
garb of the Emerald Isle. The
O,keenan home too, wore greenish
hue, which may have been due to the
careful work of the decorators or per-
haps everything loks little green on
st. Patrick's day.
After a few words of "Wilcome." :"
Mary O'Fluke save very interesting
sketch of the life of st. Patrick and
some of the customs of Ould Ireland.
"To meet Pat" proved to be snare
and a delusion in the form of liter
ary contest. And that wasn't the
worst Of it: Just as several of the
guests Eac conquered Pat in all his
guises and disguises and were ready
to cut for the prize, they were told
there was but one prize, for which
the successful contestants in ITO
meet Pat", must dance, sing or tell a
story. Five of the "gintlem" visitors
were selected as judges. Sarah
Shirrman Organ, having spoken her
piece, which was greatly appreciated
by the judges, was awarded the prize,
a genuine Pat. A program of vocal
and instrumental real Irish music was
greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all
the Paddles and Bridgets present.
A potato race afforded keen fun,
the huge murphies being transported
across the room in teaspoons.
Kathrine Findeisen landed her
potatoes in less time than the other
contestants and received potato
filed with delectable sweet meats as
a reward for her skill. A Shamrock
hunt made things lively fora time.
Three lucky hunters showed four
leaved clovers among their cleaning,
and were forthwith sent to hunt for
their own prizes, which they found
to be very satisfactory reward for
their eXertions. kissing the blarney
stone was heaps of fun until it came
your turn to be star actor. The sup.
per capped the climax and even Paddy
couldn't "go home until mornin" and
they didn't. Why should they?
Wasn't aich and livery wan, having
THE toim of me loif?"

SMUT TREATMENT.

FURNISHED. by the Minnesota Farm
ers' Institutes, st. Anthony Park, st.
Paul, Minn.
Oat smut and sinking smut, Of
wheat are prevented by treating the
seed grain. The oat smut is easily
seen, as it causes all kernels in a
head of oats to turn black, the spores
OF the smut taking the place of the
oat kernels. The stinking smut Of
wheat, or bunt, is not so easily seen.
as it produces it's spores within the
kernels of wheat and they are not seen
unless the kernel is broken open.
The spores of these smuts do not live
over iA the soil. but are carried from
one year to the next on the surface of
the seed grain. These grains may be
treated sufficiently to kill the smut
spores without injury to the grain for
seed purposes. 80
Formaiine Treatment. D.:
Formaline may be: bought at any
drug store at from Is to so cents per
pint or pound. 1t is a liquid. One
pint of formaline added to As gallons,
OF water makes sufficient solution to
treat 60 to IS bushels of oats, or 80
to 100 bushels Of wheat Grain should
he thoroughly famed before treating
1t is just necessary to get the seeds
! moistened with the solution. There
are machines manufactured for the
purpose, or the grain may be spread
on tight floor and the solution
sprinkled on with sprinkling can.
The grain should be shoveled over in
the meantime to make sure that all
are moistened. Shovel up in a pile
, and throw blanket or some sacks
| over so the fumes of the formaline
may kill any spores that were missed
by the liquid. Treat IL to 20 hours
before sowing. Treat sacks, drill box
and other receptacles in which the
grain is handled. The solution
causes the grain to swell slightly,
hence it is necessary to open the drill
II to Il bushel per acre wider.
Barley Smut and Loose Smut of
Wheat.
These two smuts are plainly seen
in the field when the grain is just
heading out. The smut is carried from
one crop to the next in the seed, but
the spores are evidently within the
kernels of grain, hence the treatment
that is effective with other smuts, has
no effect on these smuts. Dipping for
10 minutes in water kept at temper
ature Of 1872 to 1873 degrees f., has
been recommended. This treatment
is hard to make and not advisable
under form conditions. Sow seed
from q field that is free from this
smut, or small amount Of seed can
be obtained pure by carefully pulling
by hand from a small seed plot the
slnutted heads as they appear.

farmers RAILROAD :-:
! IS RESURREC1ED
FARMER HINES, PROMOTER OF
5Ss THE FARMERS RAILROAD FlF.
u TEEN WEARS AGO, ADDRESSED
a LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC
u u MEETING At CITY HALL. vs..
Has Plan for New Farmers Railroad
From Duluth to Hudson Bay,
Passing Smack Thru Warren.

s#. Farmer lines, VINO promoted the
Farmers Railroad about fifteen years
ago, surprised his many Warren
friends on Tuesday this week by sud.
denly appearing among them and
talking farmers railroad as enthusi-
.astically and convincingly as he did
in former days. He at once got
posters and soon had the town billed
for railroad meeting at the City
Hall inlthe evening. A large and at
tentive audience assembled to hear
the famous railroad promoter unfold
his new plans for farmers railroad.
When holding his railroad meetings
fifteen years ago, he always opened
them with prayer, but now he began
them by first reading passage from
the Scriptures and then prayer, a
better way he thought. The passage
he readSwas an appropriate one from
the Book of Job. After this prelimin-
ary, he asked for the appointment Of
a chairman, J. p. Mattson, being
chosen, and then he proceeded with
his address, which was clear, convinc-
ing and logical thruout, and showed
that he has lost none Of his former
mental vigor, force and enthusiasm.
He commenced by giving a complete
history of the old farmers railroad
movement, of which he was the orr
ginator.
He told of his first visit to Warren
in the carly spring, his 200 mile trip
to Dulssh mostly, on foot, through an
|,.nbrokenz forest region, on the route
of the proposed railway, of his efforts
and success in interesting prominent
Duluth business men in his enter
prise, his visits to st. Paul and inter-
views with James J. Hill and other
railway magnates, securing free pass
es for himself and other courtesies,
about his visit to Washington to Sc
cure congressional action granting
right of way through the several
Indian reservations, and about his
trip to New York when he succeeded
in interesting Calvin S. Brice and
other capitalists in the enterprise and
secured their written promise to fur
nish whatever money would be necess.
ary to build the road. A charter was Sc.
cured and a survey was made all the
way from Duluth into Dakota, the
road passing through Warren, of
course. On the Dakota side quite a
few miles of grading was done by
farmers willing and anxious to take
stock in the road for their pay, and
in the timber region east of Thief
Kiver Falls large quantities ties were
cut in the winter time by men wiling
to take stock for their labor. When
cne comes to think Of it, it is really
surprising what a plain farmer, but
who is full of enthusiasm, was able
to accomplish, and it proves that he
is no ordinary man. Level-headed
business men and farmers all along
the proposal road, as we'll as finan
ciers of national reputation, had the
utmost confidence in Mr.. Hines and
his railroad scheme, and no one tC
this day doubts his sincerity. Every
thing apparently was moving along

reason or another ousted Mr.. Hines
from the presidency. One reason
given for the action was that he was
not pushing the enterprise fast
enough, but the result was that the
road has not been built to this day.
But MIR. Hines has never lost sight
of the Farmers Railroad since then,
and has been looking for an oppor-
tune time when he could take up the
work anew. This time has come now.
A few years ago he moved to David
son, Saskatchewan, Canada, to engage
in the real estate business, while
watching for the psychological
moment to spring the railroad propo-
sition. His plan now is one of great.
er magnitude than the old Farmers
railroad, being nothing less than
railroad from Lake Superior to Hud-
son Bay, connecting these two great
waterways. A Farmers Railroad
Company has been organized in
Canada for the purpose of building
a railroad northward from Regina to
Hudson bay, giving the farmers there
the benefit of cheaper transportation
for their products to the European
markets by, the Hudson bay route,
which is some 400 miles shorter than
from Montreal.
Some grading will be done on this
line during the coming summer. He
also proposes to extend the line south
from Regina to connect with the old
Farmers Railroad from North Dakota
to Duluth, following as far as prac-
ticable the old survey of said road.
He would guard against being frozen
out of the presidency in the future by
always holding 81 per cent of the CAPT
tai stock. This he would do in the in
terest of the farmers and to guard
against failure in the future. He
promised that all stockholders in the
old Farmers Railroad would be paid
back dollar for dollar for money ac-
tually paid in, but did not promise
any interest, although he thought
they would even get that. Although
the Farmers road was not built as in
tended, yet the stir made, was sufi-
cient to cause the speedy construc-
ton Of the Great Northern's direct
line to Duluth, with it's resultant re-
duction in freight rates. Even though
the Farmers road was not actually
built, the farmers had profited great
ly on account of it,
Mr.. Hines is now making a tour of
the towns along the old Farmers
railroad with view of again inter-
esting the people in the project. He
met with much encouragement here
and it is safe to say that the people
of Warren and vicinity will be
right with Mr.. Hines in this railroad
deal. A direct railroad to Hudson
bay will make a new outlet for our
products to European markets, and
will mean at least five cents more per
bushel for our wheat. A more direct
line to Duluth passing through the
great forest and mining region will
also be a great benefit to the people
in this part Of theRed River valley
Mr.. Hines believes that he will have
trains running on this new farmers
railroad from Duluth to Hudson bay
within three years. If he can find
one hundred men as enthusiastic fol
i the project as he, and as energetic
and resourceful, to help him, there
can. be. no question Of the success OF
the great enterprise.
