DEER ARE DRIVEN BY
SNOW FROM THE HILLS

] Within sight Of the cities ant
towns in the northern sections of the
state, the deer are coming in herds
from highlands where they have
been driven by the heavy falls OF
snow.
The snow storms are frequent and
fierce in the moutain regions of the
north just now and the herds are
hunting shelter in the lowlands and
along the courses of the rivers and
streams. Reports that have been
coming into the office of the state
game warden show that the highlands
are being deserted by game and that
most of them are seeking shelter
close to the cities and towns at the
foot of the ranges.
The department has been having
a great deal of trouble the last few
Jays with hunters who have been
Killing the game out of season as
soon as it appears in the low coun-
try. The four feet of snow that has
now filled all of the mountain pass
as had made the killing of the game
easy and some hunters have not been
able to resist the temptation when
the herds come within reach.
AS warning to other hunters,
one of the deputy game wardens cap
cured ]. B. Lavine of st. Maries and
brought him before the court on a
charge of killing out of season. He
was fined $50 and So costs for the
game that he got on the Gay he was
taken into custody.

Notwithstanding the fact that re-

Use FormaIIn for Oats.

The Illinois experiment station
has made repeated tests with oats
grown side by side on the same
general type of soil, the seed OF
one plot having been treated to de
stroy the smut spores, while the
seed on the next plat was untreated
These tests have shown that SO per.
cent of all those plots sown with un-
treated seed had from 1 to 20 per-
cent Of the heads smutted. Only A
per cent of the plots sown with
treated seed showed any smut at all,
and the average amount found on
any Of these treated plots was IL
per cent.
The smallest loss in any single sea-
son where untreated oats were sown
was one-fourth bushel an acre, and
the largest loss of any season was
1925 bushels an acre. This loss
can all be avoided by treating seed
at least every third year by the fol-
lowing method:
Make a solution of one pound of
40 per cent formalin to 40 gallons
of water. Mix thoroughly by STIR
ing. Spread a convenient quantity
of seed oats to be treated, to
depth of from three to five inches,
upon tight floor or in a wagon box.
With an ordinary sprinkler-pot, sprink
lie the formalin solution over all
parts of the grain until the top of
the pile is quite wet. Stir the pile
over with a garden rake or scoop
shovel, until the damp oats are thor
'ughly mixed with those on the bot
ON of the pile. Repeat the sprink-
ing and stirring until every kernel |
n the pile is dampened.
Repeat this process until all the |
ICED necessary for sowing has been
reated. AS soon as one portion Is
reated, shovel into a pile and cover
With an old binder canvas, blanket
acks, or any cloth Leave covered
or at least twelve hours. The oats
aay be treated during the winter,
ried, and placed back in. the bin,
r they may be treated the day pre-.
ious to the time they are to be
owed. Oats treated by this method
squire the use of about one-half gal
IN of the formalin solution to a bu- {
1el of seed, to insure satisfaction.
his method of treatment Is easy, rap
, requires small amount Of ma
rial, does not wet the seed until it
difficult to SOW, and is compare

/ One OF the most vigorous and rap
idly growing religious bodies in Amer
ica is the Christian Church., or
disciples OF Christ. In about ole
hundred Years Lnis comlnunlon has
come to number q million and a quar-
ter in this country alone, and there
are tens OF thousands in other lands
like England, Scotland, Scandinavia
Australia, Japan, China, India, thil-
ippine Islands and Africa. The United
States census reports show that TINS
people ranks among the first in the
percentage OF growth. They have a
large number or colleges, and these
institutions are growing and pros
porous. Their ministry numbers no
less than six thousand. and some of
the ablest preachers in America are
to be found in their pulpits.
This religious body has placed be-
fore itself great task. Its standards
are high. They seek to restore the
New Testament church in unity and
ordinances, and teaching, and lie
and spirit. They have made a valu-
able contribution to the growing zen
Ilment for Christian union, which is
SO rapidly spreading everywhere.
They stand for civic deals and place
important emphasis upon real tim
perance reform. The late Rev. Sam
T. Jones, the well-known evangelist,
this people that did not ring clear
on the temperance question. Their
membership includes a number of
men in public life like Speaker Champ
Clark, OF Missouri; United States
senator Oliver, OF Pennsylvania, and
others. 1t Will be remembered that
President Garfield was leading and
active member in this body.
The Disciples of Christ are a strong
and an aggressive missionary body,
Doth home and foreign. Their strong
est organization is probably the For
eign Christian Missionary Society,
with headquarters in Cincinnati. This
Society conducts missions in foreign
lands, Japan, China, India, Africa,
etc. The membership in the foreign
fields has about doubled in the past
decade. The Society supports SO
schools and colleges in the foreign
fields, with 5,400 students. And, be,
sides, it sustains % hospitals and
as many medical missionaries, and
last year 157 900 patients were treat
cd The income of this organization
last year was over 100000, aud the
amount aimed at this year is $780,
900. The first Sunday in March is
the day appointed for all the Chris
tiap churches to contribute to |
this worldwide enterprise The rally |
of all these churches the first Sun |
day in March is an important event |
among the Disciples. A large number
of new missionaries will probably be
sent out to the fields this year.
The next International Convention

about 40 cents a pound at the drug
stores. One pound will make solu-
ton enough to treat 60 bushels OF
seed. The cost of treatment there
fore, in labor and material, will be
about cents a bushel, and the BEN
efits derived therefrom in increased
yield are worth double as many dol
lars.
