Mr.. Swan Motrud and Laura Boe

compared with those from Fife and
Blue Stem. The miller cannot
make the best -four from these
wheats, and therefore Fife and Blue
Stem are sure to command the best
prices in the market. With little
care in seed selection, cultivation
and treatment OF the soil, Fife and
Blue Stem can be made to yield as
we'll as these varieties. North
Dakota has made her reputation as
a hard spring wheat producer
from these standard varieties, and
she cannot maintain that high repu-
tation by the production of these
new varieties in the place of the
standard Fife and Blue Stem.

NEW SHIPPING BILL IGNORED.
Winnipeg Grain Men Charter Boats
On Old Law.

Winnipeg, Man., April 13.-"Al-
though navigation has not yet actually
commenced, quite a number of boats
have already been chartered for car
goes, and all of these have been char
tered on the basis of the old shipping
bill," said Hugh N. Baird, ex-president
of the Winnipeg exchange, in speak.
ing for the shipping interests yester.
day.
1--WE simply will not ship under the
new shipping bill" continued Mr.
Baird. "All shippers are of that de.
termination"
The essential point of the contro.
versy between the grain men and the
Canadian Marine association is a
clause which the latter placed in their
new bill of lading placing shortages
which occur in transit on water to
the account of the shippers, instead OF
to the vessel owners.
Zone thing that we absolutely
know" said Mr.. Baird, "is that the
weighing facilities at Fort William
and Port Arthur and the system of
double checks are as modern as they
can be made. At the other end of
water routes, however, weighing ia.
cilities are often antiquated. We are
trying to form a terminal elevator
clearing house, by means of which a
boat will take it's whole cargo from
one elevator instead of from several
BY this system we should be able tc
find where discrepancies arise, and
eliminate them"

It is evident from the number o1
laboring men coming from the big
cities, and seeking employment on
farms, that laboring men have some
difficulty in finding employment in
the cities. Farm help has been scarce
but indications are that farmers will
have plenty of help for the coming
season. It will do the laboring men
good to get away from the cities and
get out in the country where there
is at least plenty of fresh air and
fair pay and a prospect of saving
more Of their earnings than if they
stayed in the cities.-Hallock News.

FIGHTING THE SCALE.
How to Destroy the Fatal Enemy Of
Shrubs and Trees.


Shrubs and Trees.
Nearly all our fruit trees and lots of
our Towering shrubs, notably such as
the Towering ounce, Towering plum,
etc., are infested with the San Jose
scale. 1t means sure death to the plant
If it cannot be removed entirely.
March is the best of months to at
tack it.
You may be certain that it is there
If you see any part Of woody plant
covered with a minute silver grayish
incrustation that looks almost like part
Of the bark. Scrape it with the finger
nail, and it will come away and ex-
pose the real smooth brown bark un-
derneath.
If there Is only little of it on a
plant, shrub or tree it can be removed
with the back Of knife. Whether
you remove much or little, take care
to put sheet underneath, so that no
scale will fall to the ground. It will
simply climb back on the plant again
or, worse still, spread to others. Shake
the sheet into the fire. It is the only
sure death to this fatal insect.
Even if the plant is infested in only
a small portion, so far as you can see,
it will not be enough to scrape it. 1t
will need scrubbing or spraying just
as If the whole plant were infested.
To cleanse a growth that is thor
oughly affected spread a sheet on the
ground under it. Make a thick, sting
ing lather with whale oil or even COM
mon kitchen soap and hot water and
scrub the whole plant, beginning at
the top, with the stiffest kind of a
scrubbing brush or a wire brush If
you can get one.
Scrub till every part of the bark
shines out smooth and brown. Do not
fear to let the lather run down the
tree and into the earth. 1t will kill
other grubs there as we'll as any scale
that have begun to gather around the
base.
After the scrubbing mix a kerosene
emulsion by dissolving about quar-
ter of pound of soap in half gallon
of boiling water. When thoroughly
dissolved, stir in one gallon Of kero-
sene and mix until the stuff looks like
buttermilk. Put about cupful of this
into about five pints of cold water and
apply it with a spray pump or paint it
on with a brush till the tree is COM
pletely coated. .-,.. /. =. :
If this process does not destroy the
scale, give it one or two more treat
ments with the emulsion during
March. If the scale covers the plant
again and it gets pretty sick during
the summer, rip it out to the last root
and burn it. 1t will be better to lose
the one plant than to have the whole
garden infested. Be sure to burn
every vestige Of the sick plant. Don't
throw it somewhere and trust to luck.
If the scale is really bad and has at
tackled most Of your woody shrubs, II
Will be necessary to apply lime and
sulphur wash, which is best bought
ready mixed from dealers.

A POISON EPISODE.
When Famous Chemist Was Silenced
In Court by a Judoe.

When Famous Chemist Was Silenced
In Court by a Judge.
There was famous poisoning case
In England many years ago in which
! tie strong point of the defense was to.
show that the accused, who was an
expert chemist, would not have used a
poison which could be so easily found
after 1t had been taken into the hu-
man system. Sir Robert Christeson,
professor in Edinburgh university, a
famous expert on toxicology, whose
works are still standard on that SUBJ
ject, was put on the stand to prove
this point. When he declared that
chemist would certainly use some poi
son which would leave no trace, the
prosecuting attorney asked him if he
meant to say that there were such
pOisons.
Sir Robert replied in the affirmative.
The prosecutor asked, "Name them"
"No" shouted the judge. Il forbid
you to answer that question:
In spite of the protests of the prose-
cutor the judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name of a
poison which would leave no trace,
and the question remained unan-
swered.
Now comes the curious part of the
story. During the next two years Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
ters from all parts Of the world ask
ing, begging, offering to buy, the name
Of the untraceable poison alluded to in
his testimony. Many of these he kept
as curiosities, showing them to his
friends as evidence Of the depravity of
human nature. Some Of the excuses
for wanting the name Of the poison
were very ingenious. One man was
writing q novel based on a poison plot
and wanted to make use Of the un-
tn ssable poison Idea. He did. not
want to give the name of the poison in
his book. but just wanted to have it
by him in case any scientific critic
should deny the possibility of such poi
sons. when he could send him the
name in private letter and quote the
distinguished authority" from whom
it came, etc. Several persons profess
ed to be studying chemistry and asked
for the information on the ground Of
professional courtesy. To all such Sir
Robert would send the advice to pur
sue their studies and they would soon
know as much about it as he did
Many offered large sums of money for
the secret usually pretending they
had bet still larger amounts that til y
could find it out in a given time aid
were willing to share their profits lib
orally with Sir Robert.
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number Of persons all
over the world who seemed desirous
of possessing the secret of an agent
that would kill. but leave no trace. and
the amazing falsehoods to which they
would subscribe their names in order
to obtain the information. 1t is said
that whatever poisc7 Sir Robert had
in mind at the trial he never mention
ed it. not even to his classes, so strong
ly was he impressed with the danger
Of letting such thing become matter
of public knowledge.
