To Prevent Smut.

j, Goss of Addy Stevens county,
last year wrote the following letter
to r. c. Crosbey of Garfield.
Seeing in the newspapers that You
are interested in finding a smut pre-
tentative, / offer the following. /
grew wheat and other grains in the
Red river valley from 1888 to 1898.
Until the year 1890, there was no
trouble in that section (north Of
Fargo, Aunn.) from smut, but then il
began to come in and a portion of
the crop was degraded and a proven
tatiye became a necessity Most of
the farmers turned to the blue stone,
which costs much in labor when 1000
or more bushels had to be prepared
for the drills in the short seeding
season, and as sometimes wet DAYS
came when seeding was impossible
and the seed which had been treated
was total loss. Knowing the chem
istry of the smut life and its destruc-
ton. | concluded to use chlorinated
lime and bought 200 pounds at
wholesale in Minneapolis at $3.50 per
hundred delivered at my nearest sta
ton. Early in March five bins in my
granary were swept clean and while
the grain was being cleaned for each
bin, shoyelful Of the chlorinated
lime was put in sieve and sifted
over the floor of the bin, enough be-
ing used to cover it. Then a one-foot
layer Of the cleaned grain was spread
IN the bin; another sitting of the
chlorinated lime on top of it and SO
on till the bin was full. There was
little escape of chlorine until the
weather became warm a week or ten
days before seeding, so the time for
1t TO act was short, but we had no
smut The first year l used ten
pounds Of the chlorinated lime to
the 100 bushels, treating in all about
1900 bushels Of wheat, oats and bar
ley. Some of each kind of treated
seed was left over. The wheat was
again put through the tanning mill
10 blow away the dust, taken to the
mill and made into flour. The oats
| fed to the horses without cleaning
them again, and the barley to hogs,
and believe that both the horses
and hogs were benefited by the lime
remaining.
We saved our own seed and, it
being free from smut, I used after
the first year but five pounds of the
lime to the 100 bushels of seed. I
kept using this method till 1898,
when / quit farming. The cost to
me the first year, not counting la
Dor, was 40 cents per hundred bush
els and for each following year %
cents per hundred bushels.
The seed was taken from the bins
and placed in sacks the day before
needed and taken to the field the next
morning The only change notice
/ an'e was the smell OF chlorine As
there is much warmer weather before
seed time in your district and the
chlorine is disengaged through at.
mospheric moisture, the results
should be positive, if the chlorinated
lime is mixed with the grain a month
before seeding time, But ! have seen
/ clean barley grown from very smutty
seed, which had been mixed with the
lime but one day. You can easily
try this method during the coming
season and will gladly reply to any
/ questions on the subject"

CHAPTER XVII.
A Visit

Il think ! shall never go to a horse
race again." said Rose, the next
morning, her face paling with the re-
membrance of the dead horse.
Il am sure we should none of us
go, said Mrs. Gardner, IF we
thought such a thing as that likely
to occur"
But is might occur, Mamma" ex-
claimed Rose. mo one knew that
this horse had heart disease until he
died, and the doctors say that he
would have lived longer if he had
not oyer-exerted himself.
1T has been a question with me
before this as to whether we ought
to lend the encouragement of our
presence to horse racing"
1t is very interesting and excit-
ing, mamma" said Reginald. Il
shouldn't like to think that | could
never go to a horse trot again, though
l am very sorry that such a fine horse
should lose his life
Such a rate of speed as men are
demanding of horses now seems too
much to expect of any living crea-
ture, replied Mrs. Gardner. Long
ago, when they were the fleetest mes
sengers men had there seemed some
excuse for it; but now l don't see
that it serves any good end"
"Sheridan's horse did good service
with Winchester twenty miles
away" said Reginald.
Yes replied his mother, smiling,
that horse is said to have done good
service; but | was thinking especially
of time much farther back than that
IA time when one could not be car
ried by steam and electricity, and
when there was neither telegraph nor
telephone to carry messages over the
country. With all these contrivan-
ces for speed it would seem that the
horse might be allowed to take things
a little easier"
On the Following saturday Regi-
halo ana Rose planhed TO call on Miss
l-yuSIoh' as the family were to leave
Ashbrook for New York early the
next week.

some Saturday might want her

Report of state Veterinarian.


northwest In The discussion of dis
eases Of animals the report shows
that vigilant steps have been taken to
stamp out ANNA. diseases in the
state and to prevent their spread
Much credi. is due Dr Nelson and
his staff for their careful attention
to the live stock interests Of the
state. The salient points in the re-
port follows:
sheep are free from scab, the gov
eminent has lifted the quarantine
and the sheep are now ON the free
list, The state is also practically
free from hog cholera and swine
plague. Two hundred and sixteen
days We're given to police work and
1897 days We're given to the control
of contagious diseases. We exam
ined 1888 horses for gianders. of
which 255 were ordered destroyed,
In Seattle out of 81 head of
horses used in railway construction
work, IS were diseased and ordered
killed This disease continue to be
a most important one, affecting the
livestock industry OF the state
The loss by tuberculosis is great
With this condition existing in our
herds, it is only a question Of time
until the dairy industry viii be a
heavy loser from the inroads of this
disease, and / can not, in my official
position, allow this opportunity to go
by without calling attention TO the
seriousness OF this problem which the
dairy interests and the cattle inter-
ests OF this state are facing.
Until two years ago there was a
constant cry by Tie dairy interests
against the state veterinarian testing
their herds During the last two
years this position of the dairymen
has been practically reversed, and
the position now taken is that the
state veterinarian is not sufficiently
stringent in his action in this matter.
For instance, 1917 reacted nut-ef
1910 tested, and only 80 destroyed.
Yet if the 1917 had been ordered de
stroyed in several cases it would
have been financial ruin to the owner
of the herds.

MARATHON DANCE
RECORD CLAIMED
San Josean Says He Tripped the
Light Fantastic for Nine
teen Hours
[Special Dispaieh 10 The CALI

SAN JOSE, March 21.-F. j. Perry, q
blacksmith who participated in dane
ing contest in San Jose in 1898, which
was stopped by the humane society
after a dozen. couples had been danced
off their feet, challenges the records
alleged to have been established in San
Francisco recently and asserts that he
himself is the holder of the Marathon
dancing record.
With the testimony of reliable wit
nesses and the evidence in the news
paper files Perry fully substantiates the
statement that he danced 19 hours
without stopping, but during that time
he changed partners. Three sets of
musicians were exhausted. The COM
petition was conducted in Phelan hall
in First street by Professor Kinney, a
dancing teacher who is said to be in
Santa Rosa at the present time. Per-
ry's partners were Miss Mollie Delaney,
who still lives in San Jose, and Mrs.
Rosie Kell. nee Gunter, now the wife
of an engineer in San Francisco.
When the humane society interceded
Bob Mcclellan and a partner and Perry
and Miss Gunter were the only surviv-
ors. Perry refused to stop the moment
the officers interceded, while Mcclellan
did, hence the former claims the rec
ord. He says that Mcclellan went to
bed for three days after the contest
but he went to dance the next night
with Miss Gunter.

BRITISH POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK HOLDS $77S, ,64O,O 900
Establishment of First Institu-
ton to Be Celebrated

The first savings bank in Great Brit
ain was established at Wendover, Buck
inghamshire, in 1899 by Rev. Joseph
Smith. Scotland will celebrate in June
of this year the centenary Of the found
ing in 1910 of a savings institution at
Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, by the emf
nent Scotch divine and philanthropiSt
Rev. Henry Duncan. In view of the
general interest in such a celebration
the directors of the Edinburgh savings
bank have taken the matter up and
in cooperation with other leading saw
ings banks throughout the United
Kingdom, are preparing a plan and pro-
gram betting the conference, to be
held on this occasion in Edinburgh of
prominent officers of savings institu-
tions. 1t is understood that invitations
have been sent to many savings banks
in all parts of the world to have repre-
sentatives present.
For some years after they were in
stituted in Great Britain savings banks
were of the nature of agencies carried
on by local philanthropists or trustees
and it was not until 1917 that the gov
ernment officially recognized their
growing utility to the public by an act
of parliament, which brought them all
under a system of government control
Through the advocacy of the late
William E. Gladstone the first postoffice
savings bank was created in 1861, as
means of promoting thrift. The total
savings accounts of the United King
dom amount at present to more than
$1,119,295,000, of which the postoffice
holds $77s,640,O 900. The aggregate num-
ber of depositors exceeds 10,O0O,O00.
II is impossible to derive from any
available statistics a definite idea as to
how much money has been saved by
the dual agency, each in its own way,
during all these years, but Alexander
~
savings bank, high authority on
banking and financial subjects, says
that many hundreds of millions of
pounds sterling have passed over the
counters of the savings banks, to the
great benefit of depositors and their
families The machinery to carry on
this work is, of course, of vast dimen-
sions, but it moves with excellent pre-
cision. fostered by thousands of public
spirited and philanthropic citizens.
while the government in addition to
special inspection committee, exercises
over all a most effective supervision.
1t may be added that the funds of the
savings banks of the United Kingdom
do not represent sthe total results of the
thrift of the nation. There are other
banks, such as friendly, cooperative
and building societies. which very sub
stantially swell the total 1t is Car
gilPs opinion, based on the latest re-
turns, that the sum of the accumula
tions of the people may be put at So.

Reason for Immunity

District Attorney Blakeley said the
method of bringing the men before a
special courtN and granting them i'm
munity was deemed for the hest inter-
ests of the public and threatened the
limit of the law to those whos persisted
in fighting their cases.
Klein is still guarded by two de-
tectives. He said today.
You know there is supposed to be
honor among thieves. but I stood it as
long as I could. When the highest
court in the state refuses to hear your
appeal they (referring to his attiOrneys)
can't help you much.
II followed the advice of my attor-
neys. and as result 1 served a 80

Juries were among the passengers in
the day coach and smoker, and it is
believed that but two of the dead were
in the Pullman.
By morning it is expected that the
track viii be cleared and train service
renewed.
Prof. L. w. Parrish of Cedar Falls,
teacher in economies at the State Teach
ers' college, was one OF the first to be
taken from the ruins. He was mortalIy
wounded and was rushed TO the hospi-
tai, but died in the ambulance.
DR.. J. w. Devrey of Chicago and Doc
tor Dunham of Sioux Falls were physi-
clans on the train. Although injured
themselves, they worked hard to succor
others.

Rock Island, was in the smoker. He
escaped without injury.
SIGHTS WE'RE TERRIBLE
I. p Clark. conductor on the Pullman
was in an upper berth, but, aside from
few bruises, was not injured.
c. W. Moier of Walla Walla, Wash
was in a lower berth in one of the Pull
man coaches near the rear of the train.
said he 1t sounded as though a man
had thrown brick on the floor. The
car I was in was well back. In front
of it were the-1nail and baggage cars.
Ahead of these were the smoker and
Pullman. I looked out and saw the
engine overturned before I realized il.
4 saw some terrible things One
man had been driven head first into a
window. The glass was broken and was
cutting him where his head rested on
the sill, and under all that awful weight
above he screamed and cried for some
one TO kill him. / found a stick and
broke the glass under his cheek where
1t lay on the sill, and the mans lower
jaw fell 10 the ground at my feet.
There was an old man running about
pleading for us TO rescue his son. He
was badly hurt himself The son was
cut entirely in two"
Miss May Hoffman of Waterloo, one
of the dead, was one of a party start
