Plan for Institutes.

Any farmer or business man in Wis
consin who wishes to secure an inst1-
tute for his locality during the winter
of 1912-1913 should send to the depart
ment of farmers institutes at the Col
lege of Agriculture for blank petit
ton and letter of information. Any
town, no matter how small or how far
from the railroad, is entitled to an
institute, provided it is located in
farming district and has good hall in
which a meeting can be held.
Farmers are urged to talk this mat
ter over with their neighbors and If
the sentiment seems favorable for an
institute for their own town to write
at once for application BLANKS.

ture his old friend, Simon Kenton, the
Kentucky pioneer)
In 1882 GiTty invaded Kentucky at
the head of 600 Indians, and attacked
fort near Lexington. The plucky lit.
tie garrison held out until Daniel
Boone could come up with reinforce
ments and drive Girty away. Boone
followed the retreating savages The
two forces met at Blue Licks. There
a fierce battle, disastrous to the
Americans, was fought (the last of
many great Indian battles in Ken
tucky).
Girty, not content with leading saw
ages against men of his own race, next
proceeded to drive the gentle Mo-
ravian missionaries out of the Indian
tribes He made his headquarters on
a Sandusky River farm, which he
changed into a trading station, and
from which he and his followers crept
forth every now and then on cruel
marauding expeditions. BY trade, and
by service to the British, the renegade
was amassing a very tidy fortune.
At Gen. Arthur ST Clairs defeat, in
1891, Girty played his usual murderous
role In that battle Gen. William But
Ter was wounded Girty saw the gen
eral lying helpless on the ground. Call
ing upon an Indian, he ordered him to
scalp and kill Butler
When, in 1893, the United States
government appointed commission to
arrange a peace treaty with the In
dams, Simon Girty had himself made
interpreter. So crafty did he misin-
interpret, and SO brutally did he insult
the commissioners, that the treaty fell
through.
Then came the war of 1912. Girty
once more rushed to the front as the
friend of the British and the foe of his
own country. Again he marshalled
his Indians to the fray, and again the
torch, tomahawk and scalping knife
wrought havoc along the frontier.
Girtys name was cursed by settlers
and soldiers alike His cruelty, his
treachery, his genius for evil doing
all combined to make him, perhaps,
the best hated man in the west
Many tales of his atrocities-some
true, some exaggerated-are still hand
ed down from generation to generation
in the districts he ravaged He has
been described as a human monster
of hideous aspect. This is not true.
He was merely a fat, swarthy, bull
necked man, about five feet nine
inches tall.
Some historians say Girty was kill
ed at the Battle of the Thames in
1913 (where Gen. Harrison crushed the
Indians, and where their leader, Te-
cumseh, felD; others that he survived
the war and died a natural death two
years later.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames April A.--1owa orchards ought
to produce good crops Of all fruits but
peaches this year, says Prof. 8. A.
Beach, OF the horticultural department
of Iowa State College. in spite Of the
severe winter. But, he adds, orchard
lists must spray their trees to insure
a good yield. Successful orchsrding In
Iowa or elsewhere is impossible with
out spraying. According to the expert
ence Of the college horticulturists. the
value OF 1owa's fruit crop could be
doubled this year II not trebled or
more. il orchardists sprayed their trees
thoroughly. One old orchard OF which
the department has record had pro-
duced only one sat isfactory crop In
twenty years; 1t was sprayed and
otherwise cared for last year and pro-
duced 500 bushels, Of apples per acre.
Orchardists who want to try spray
ing and do not know how to go about II
will find just the practical help they
need in a complete bulletin on spraying
practice for orchard and garden issued
by the horticultural and forestry Sec
ton of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station. In this bulletin Of forty
four pages Professor Beach has put
every bit Of spraying information
available. 1t sets forth the various
diseases and insects that attack fruit
trees and then describes in detail how
to combat them. Every known spray
ing preparation that is useful is given
and complete calendar for their use.

of their fruit trees may
