TO FIELDS
THIS WEEK IN FIRST.
OF SPRING WORK.
Late Spring Delays Opera
tions in Most Parts of
County

With winds licking top moisture
from fields and seed beds practically
ready for working, Sheridan county
farmers today prepared to start the
1886 seeding campaign.
Some farmers are already in the
fields. Harry Nichols, Plentywood far
mer, started seeding opelntions last
week end and Andrew LELAND, farmer
of the Outlook region, has his seeding
operations in full swing.
In localities where high ground is
found farmers this week are in the
fields. Throughout the county gener-
ally farming operations will not be in
full swing until the latter part of the
week and possibly in many instances
not until the latter part of the month.
Frost that is still in the ground will
delay many Snow on the ground in
the Raymond vicinity and wet fields
will delay operations in that section.
Spring has come to Sheridan county
nearly 20 days late. Since March 2l
this area was held in cold wave
which abated the past week. Farmers
hail the end of the long winter.
Anxious to get to the fields, farmers
are marking time until the hour to
begin.
Machinery is being put in good
condition. Breakdowns in a late seas
on would undoubtedly cause great
nandicaps. Farmers coming to Plenty
wood this week crowded implement
shops for repairs. New machinery is
being transported from the city, trac-
tors are being overhauled and harness
repaired everything in readiness
when the opportune time is at hand.
From general indications more ac-
reage will be seeded this year in
Sheridan county than last.

County in Ohio
 Claims Origin Of
 "Cure for Warts"

LOGAN, O., Oct. IT. = Oldsters around here say Hooking County contributed to American folklore the "wart cure" made famous by Mark Twain in ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
 In pioneer days the county had large timber tracts. As the trees were felled for lumber, the stumps remained and rotted in the middle. Water collecting in the holes was 'spunk water"
 To remove warts, you had to ap- preach a spunk-water stump in the light of the moon, turn to the right and walk around it three times. Then you approached it backward, placed your hand in the spunk water and repeated:
 "Spunk water, spunk water,
 Injun meal and shorts,
 Spunk water, spunk water,
 SWaller these warts"
 Then walk around the stump three times to the left, go straight home, and talk to NO one until morning. Three days later the warts were supposed to disappear.

To this Mr.. Anders remarked that

Nv excuse for this letter is that
if Doctors Brown, Bennett and
myself were technically dropped
in 1885, as you, Mr.. Durham, now
ray we were, then we were sum-

and a resignation would be ridic-
