MOTHERS ODD PLEA
"
Fears Her Sons May Become
Members of the "IdIe Rich"
That Is Reason Advanced by Massa.
chusetts Woman, Who Wanted
Mill Kept In Estate, Even at
Risk of Some Loss.

Boston. A nice point Of business
millionaires who leave sons behind
them has just been decided by the SUI
preme court of Massachusetts.
When Horatio N. Slater died he left
a very large estate, a portion of which
consisted of the largest wooden mill in
the United States. 1t was one of his
legacies to his children, who we're
minors.
The property was turned v to
three trustees and they applied to
the court for permission to sell the
mill, alleging that the manufacturing
of wooden goods, owing to the enor-
nous growth Of competition, was not
as profitable as it has been in the life
time of Mr.. Slater and his father and
his grandfather, and that in fact it
was becoming a hazardous enterprise.
The widow, through counsel, protest
ed in behalf of her children, arguing
that something more vital than the
abstract question as to the fitness of
mills for trust development was at
stake; that inasmuch as the part of
the estate that was not invested in the
mill was large enough to stand any
losses which operation of the mill
might involve, the mill should be
kept up in the family in order that
the children might operate it when
they attained their majority; that
their father had made his fortune
there and had intended that his boys
should continue in his footsteps.
The supreme court decided on the
question, but the majority of the
Judges decided to give the trustees au-
thority to sell in order that the largest
income be assured to the chill
dren.
The minority of the court agreed
with the contentious of the mother
that, as the estate was large enough
to operate the mills and take the Or
binary chances of profit or loss with
out putting the children in the slight
est danger of want, the wisest conduct
Of h estate was that which would
make them the most useful citizens.
What the mother sought to prove to
the court was that to dispose Of the
mill probably would cause her sons to
become members of the idle rick
class instead of useful citizens as their
father had been.
Commenting IN the decision, the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
the official organ of the trade. says in
its current issue:
1T would seem that the law, as in.
terpreted by the majority decision in
this case, is in a conspiracy with the
other adverse elements to prevent the
children of Horatio N. Slater from
making useful citizens of themselves
and from escaping from the unhappy
fate that. the trust promoter in ques.
ton would predict for them. If so,
the law needs undermining"

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE.

Brewers do not want the price of
barley to be too low. We would
rather pay a liberal price," said a
prominent barley man. "and get the
quality best adapted for mailing. II
the price is too low, or below the price
he can get for the same effort In wheat
or corn. or other grain, the farmer will
not pay sufficient attention to the
quality and condition of his barley.
We would rather pay a price which
will be profitable enough to induce the
farmer to give barley his best atten.
ton. Therefore you can see that we
want a better quality and are willing
to pay handsomely for the choice yari.

HOW TO TREAT BARLEY SMUT
(By r. A. Moore.)

Grain smut is one Of the worst enc
mics, and you will lose from five to
ten per cent. If you do not treat. it
properly before sowing. Most Of the
select varieties of seed barley now
on the market are nearly free from
smut.
Repeated experiments have proven
that f~ormaldehyde alone will not kill
both kinds Of barley smut, and we
therefore recommend the warm water
treatment.
Hot Water for Loose Smut.
Soak sack of barley IL hours in
cold water, let drain for one hour. put
in cask of warm water, not v e 1870
degrees Fahrenheit, for a minute or
two to take off the chill and then sub
merge In barrel of warm water held at
constant temperature of 100 degrees
Fahrenheit for six minutes. If you
get the water too hot, even five de-
grees, o will kill the germ and ruin
your seed. Carefully test your Their,
mometer, by the standard thermome.
ter at the cheese factory or creamery.
After removing sack of barley, empty
on t%hreshing floor to cool and SOW as
soon as possible thereafter, because if
left for two or three days before SOW
ing, barley may sprout. Use gunny
sacks in which to put barley for treat
ment and do not have them more than
half filled as this will allow the pene.
tration of the temperature readily.
Test Your Thermometer.
Do not treat more than one or two
sacks the first ear This will give
you enough seed which Is free from
smut to plant all of next years crop.
Every farmer should have his own
seed patch from which to select the
best each year for the next years
seed patch, using what is left for gen.
eral sowing.
FormaIdehyde for Closed Smut.
Thoroughly mix 16 ounces avoirdu-
pois Il pint formaldehyde in a tank
or barrel containing SO gallons of wa,
ter; put your seed in a gunny sack.
and dip 1t into this solution. Soak it
good for a few minutes; take out the
grain and allow it to drain for a few
minutes; then empty the grain on a
clean floor and W. with wet sacks
or with a canvas for an hour. Treat
the grain at least a half a day before
sowing, in order to give it time to
dry.
If you prefer, you can spread the
seed grain on a clean floor and spray
the seed with a common sprinkling
can, or still better with a small force
pump, which will throw an even spray.
1t should be shoveled over and over
until the seed is thoroughly moistened,
then cover with a few sacks or
blanket for an hour. Allow seed to
dry before sowing.
Sixteen ounce of formaldehyde in
sc gallons of water will treat 40 to
30 bushels, and should cost 80 to IS
cents. Be sure that the formaldehyde
Is of standard quality.

Of barley and that Of the very best.
Different varieties of barley when
placed IN the mailing floor for sprout-
ing terminate at different periods Of
time which leads to a positive loss
on mixed types of barley, and a CORE
spending reduction in price. The malt
ster desires a barley of one distinct
type and this should be uniform in
quality and size Of berry. From Ne.

First Steel BUILDING.

The Tower building, at SO Broadway,
New York, when erected in 1888-1889.
was then said to mark a new depart.
ure in building construction. The skel.
eton structure was of steel, and engi.
ners hold that this was the first edi.
fee In which the entire weight of the
floors and walls was borne and trans.
mitted to the foundation by a frame.
work of metallic posts and beams.
In 1899 the Society of Architectural
Manufacturers of New York placed on
the building a tablet commemorating
this.

Fast Time on Motor Trip.

A well-known European motorist,
stopping in Cairo. Egypt, performed q
record feat by driving his car from
Cairo to Alexandria, the other day,
in ten hours. The distance is 40 mines,
and considering that time after time
the driver had to zig-zag backwards
and forwards across the railway line,
there being no proper road, the per.
Torrance was considered wonderful.
The return journey was covered in 8
hours, the following day.

BARLEY.

Barley erves as a ready money
crop for most growers and is usually
put on the market soon after thresh.
ing. 1t is not good practice to put
weather beaten or damaged barley on
the market as the price will be cut
severely even though the feeding quail
1ty is but slightly impaired. 1t is far
better to use such injured barley on
the farm and ecure both feeding and
fertilizing value from it.
Different varieties should not be
mixed when being put on the market
either as seed or mailing barley.
2rmers should grow but n variety

LOSS BY SMUT.

About half a million dollars worth
of barley is destroyed by smut every
year in Wisconsin alone.> II you are
going to treat smut with hot water.
you had better test your thermometer
by that at the creamery. A few de-
grees too hot will kill your barley.
Every mar should have a barley plot
and grow his own seed. Two or three
acres will be sufficient to devote to
this seed growing.

beat in his heart.-Henry Drumnond.

Turks Are Steadily Falling
Back, Abandoning 0utpoStS
But Recruiting Strength
Every Hour
(By Associated Prsss.)

LONDON. Oct. 21.-Three, and per-
haps four big battles probably will be
begun within few days. if not few
hours. on the territory of European
Turkey. Armies of the Balkan allies
have now crossed the frontier on all
sides. while the Turks, as their oppo-
nents advance. are giving up their
frontier posts and abandoning small and
unimportant towns, falling back slowly
on their strongly entrenched positions
preparatory to giving battle there.
The Bulgarian army will, it is
thought probable. be the first to strike
at their objective point. the fortress of
Adrianople. The main Turkish army
is rapidly growing in strength and
with time will outgrow that of the in
vaders.
Rumors have been current today that
two of the outer forts of Adrianople
have fallen into the Bulgarians hands.
but these must be taken in the same
way as the report of the capture Of
