to Remove a Pest

Not all SHUTS are alike. Corn smut
is different from wheat smut and both !
are different from oat smut. Most of |
these smuts can be prevented by a |
simple seed treatment. Such smuts !
are among the most important.
There is no excuse for such smuts on
any farm i'm Minnesota. The simplest |
and cheapest method of seed treat |
ment is the formalin method.
Smut preventable by formalin
method. The following SHUTS can be
prevented by the formalin treatment
described below: Wheat smut, (call
ed also sinking smut and burnt, and
the most common and worst smut
in the state oat smut, and the COW
cred smuts of barley. Corn smut, the
loose smut of wheat (blackheads,) and

prevented 10y this treatment. If you
treat your barley with formalin you
will not get rid of the loose smut.
The best way to get rid of both bar
ley SHUTS is to get seed from field
Of last year that did not have any
smut in it.
The following is the formalin
method: Get good guaranteed for
malin from reliable druggist. The
seed grain should first be very thor
oughly cleaned. One pound Il Dint)
of formalin should be poured into
| from 40 to As gallons of water, in a
barrel. Then the grain, in gunny sacks
or wire baskets, should be dipped in
to the solution, or the solution should
be sprinkled upon the grain. Be sure
!, that all of the grains are wet all over
by the solution, as the object of the
treatment is to kill all of the smut
dust on the outside of the grain.
Everything which the grain touches
should be very clean; sacks should be
boiled; floors and ShovelS should be
| thoroughly washed with boiling wa
ter. If the grain is to be dipped, it
may be put, about half bushel at a
time, into a coarse sack and plunged
into the formalin solution. n o.w
spread the treated grain on floor OF
j.. canvass which has been washed with
boiling water; cover it for II to p
hours, and then let it dry. Care
should be taken not to allow the
grain to freeze when wet, or. tt
sprout.
The grain to be treated may in
stead of being dipped, be spread out
in a thin layer on a clean floor OF
canvas. Then while one man rapidly
shovels or rakes over the grain, an
other applies the formalin by mean:
of good sprinkling-can, taking care
to moisten every kernel. Cover l:
hours, as in the dipping treatment
and then dry.
The grain may be sown at once, or
may be kept for month or more i
thoroughly dried. Great care shoul(
always be taken not to let smut-dus
get on it after treatment. Sacks
shovels and the seeder with which i
is sown should all be carefully WASHED
with strong formalin solution {
pound to 10 gallons of water). L
carefully done, this should proven
the occurrence of the three smut
; mentioned.

Keeping World in Dark.

London, oct. 2.--Strict Italian cen.

events in the Mediterranean. From

ing, conflicting reports continue to
come in

The reports as to the situation at
Prevesa are equally connicting.
Turkish officials here confirm a
news dispatch saying the forts had
been destroyed and 1000 troops land
ed, while Italy gives an emphatic de-
NAL of the report, saying the Italian
government had no intention of re
sorting to acts against the territorial
status of Turkey in Europe. 1t is
believed that what actually happened
was that the Turkish vessels in the
vicinity were scattered and the forts
destroyed to prevent raids on tile
Italian coast shipping. Probably this
was sufficient for the population, as
one cable says that the Turkish oper-
ators deserted the place as soon as
the bombardment was begun.

receipt of news that Turkey has as

DEATHS LAST QUARTER
EXCEEDED The BIRTHS
THIS CONDITION SHOWN in RE
PORTS; DUE TO NEGLECT IN
REPORTING BIRTHS

According to the report of Lorenzo
Delgado, clerk to the board of county
commissioners, which was read at
the regular monthly meeting of that
body at the court house this morn
ing, the number Of births reported
during the third quarter of the pres
ent year was one less than the num-
Der of deaths. The deaths numbered
81 while, the births numbered an even
score.
This condition is explained by the
statement of two or three apparent
facts. Chief among these is that a
large number of healthseekers, in the
last stages of disease, come to San
Miguel county and die shortly after
their arrival. The proportion, OF the
number of deaths of bona fide rest
dents Of the county to the total num-
Der of mortalities in the county each
quarter is small. Another reason for
the showing made is the fact that
while the greater number of deaths
are reported there is considerable
negligence in reporting births. This
is especially true of the country dis
tricts where deaths and births often
occur without the presence of a ply
sician. Ignorance of the law often
is the cause of failure to report the
required mortality statistics.
Mr.. Delgado says the law requires
that he be notified of every birth and
death which occurs in the county.
Persons who do not comply with the
law are subject to prosecution.
Principally routine business waa
transacted by the commissioners this
morning. The commissioners were
asked to investigate distractions In
the roads in the Trementina and La
Garita neighborhoods. The board de-
cided to take no action on these mat
ters until the next regular meeting,
which will occur on the first Monday
in November. The board was sched-
uled to hold another session this
afternoon.

Brown as trustee, has turned the
money over to the hospital to be used
as the directors see fit. The di-
rectors also have acknowledged the
receipt of $40 from s. K. Sydes of
Tucumcari, who was among the first
to subscribe to the hospital fund in
their recent campaign for money, but
owing to the absence Of the treas
urer from the city it did not become
known to the board until recently.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Violence broke
out today among the striking EN-
ployes of the Illinois Central railroad
shops at Burnside, which resulted IL
riot call being sent to the Kensing
ton police station. John Chomas, q
carpenter who declined to walk out
with the other men, was assaulted by
four union pickets. He was struck
on the head with brick and imme-
diately was surrounded by crowd of
nearly hundred strikers.
Chomas. was rescued by patrol
wagon full of police who arrived on
the scene when another attack on
the man was being made He escap-
ed with slight injuries. The union
pickets fled.
Two hundred strike breakers were
smuggled into the big carshops at
Burnside under cover of darkness, ac-
cording to Illinois Central officials
They also declare that 100 strikers
have returned to work since Satur-
day.
Tho statexaant was made that 800
of the 5000 shopmen employed at
Burnside are at work today and that
this number is being augmented hour
ly. This statement was made by
Special Agent Welch Of the railroad,
who is assisting the police in pro-
tecting the property of the company.
A score or more of pickets were on
duty early today. They worked in
dustriously, but with varying success.
The union labor leaders today de-
clared that no strike breakers had
been sent to the shops and that none
of their men had returned. The
gathering of former employees dis
persed when the hour for beginning
work had passed. The men declared
that fewer than 300 men were at
work, many of these former employees
old and infirm and nearing the pen
sion mark, who had been given per-
mission by the unions to remain at
work.
As result of the attack on Chom-
as, dead line was established at
the Belt Line tracks, which almost
encircle the works at the distance of
a city block. This line was guarded
by, city policemen.
Charges that a squad of nearly 100
city policemen were on guard within
the stockade, prepared to remain
there, were made by the strikers.
This was denied at police headquar,
ters. Rev. Father M. woulf at 81

ers against violence and advised
them to seek mediation
