Smut In Wheut
Smut should bo kept out of wheat
Every farmar is eagor to do this if poss
ible Tnu News readers will note witli
interest the suggestions mentioned in
the statement issued by tho elevator
companies doing business in this section
regarding the treatment of seed in order
to prevont smut
Tho circular says
Dissolve one pound of bluei vitrol in
four quarts of water j also make a quan
tity of lime water one pound of quick
lime to 10 gallons of water or you can
use air slacked lime If the air slacked
limo is used it docs not need to bo dis
solved in water Pile the wheat on tho
floor and spray it shoveling rapidly
A sprinkler can bo used for this
purpose Constant shoveling and care in
the spraying is very important Ono
half hour later spray on some of tho
lime water and shovel it over as before
or if you use air slacked lime dust it
thoroughly iuto tho wheat Bhovliug it
over Sow all treated wnoat as soon as
possible Dout wait for it to get dry
Shovel it up and proceed to seed it
Most drills will work as woll on freshly
wet wheat as upon poorly dried wheat
If tho spraj ing and shoveling has been
properly done there will be no water
visible upon tho wheat Wheat should
never bo treated long before it is seeded
Aim each morning to treat tho amount
for the days supply but if you wish to
keep tho wheat sometime after treatment
it should be shoveled over until dry
Air slacked lime will help dry it Tho
idoa is to wet each grain of wheat all
over but at the same time to allow it to
soak up as little of the solution as pos
sible Would state tbac blue vitriol can
be bought for about 15 cents per pound
and lime for about one aud two cents
per pouud so that the cost of this
method is comparatively light

Conclusion or the Twolvo Men Who

the Situation
Tho Collins case emtio to n close at 1
oclock Sat unlay ovonlng when tho jury
which hnd toon out since 1 15 oclock
returned 11 verdict of not guilty
It hnd occupied tho attention of tho
district court at Madison Judge Alien
presiding since Thursday morning
A bio counsel had presented all font tires
of It County Attorney Tyler assisted
by ludgo Barnes appeared In behalf of
tho stato and Fred 11 Free A W
Gross mid Judge Robinson for tho do
foudout
Tho trial was of especial lutorost horo
LiiHt September tho Johnson Dry Jowls
company was broken into from tho rear
windows and goods to tho valuo of 200
woro taken Tho next day A D Col
lins was arrested he having first de
livered up quito a shuro of tho goods
found on tho promises of his father-in-law
Hooker nino miles southeast of
town
Before tho police court ho plead guilty
but afterwards denied that ho was
While the circumstances wero vory
stronulv presumptive in favor of hiti
guilt positive facts as to his actual par
ticipation in tho burglary woro iiotsulll
clout to weigh with tho jury Tho pro
sonco of his mother tho plea that ho
was iu a drunken stupor at tho time
and the fact that ho had already lan
guished in jail for six months all hnd
its effect on the twolvo men acquittal
rosnlted
Tho verdict is not received with much
satisfaction in this city It is considered
that tho real facts justified conviction
If a burglary involving 200
worth of proporty can bo com
mitted aud a man found with half the
goods in his possession who promptly
pleads gailty whou charged with tho
crime can bo found iuuocont thoro
is a fooling that law is something of 11
travesty and protection of property
rights a failure
While thoro is a hopo that tho young
man may mend his ways aud bo a hotter
citizen there is a spirit of unrest brought
about by tho thought that justice has
couo astrav aud that a court trial is
something loss than a matter of equity
How far such an idea is justified by
tho law aud ovidenco it is not for Tin
News to suy It can be said however
that whouovor a suspicion of unfairness
lurks in tho public mind as tho result
of legal trials it bodes unfortunate
and if allowed to grow disastrous re
suits to any community
PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE
Ilrownliif Club Spends a Very PlimHim
levelling at the Homes of Four of
Its Aluiiiliers
From Wednesdays Daily
The fifth annual sessiou of tho
Browning club is dntwing to a cIofo
From tho begiuuiug tho club has aimed
steadily to do u little literary work and
has cultivated tho social side of life
but it has not hoen giveu to junketing
and jollification Last night however
marked a now neparturo in its career
The session by provious appointment
met at tho residenco of Mr aud Mrs A
J Durland and its monitors began to
Kather au hour earlier than usual and
all were in a happy aud expectant mood
Something evidently was iu tho air but
no ono was able to guess what But
when tho dining room doors wero
thrown open signs of festivity greeted
the eyes of tho cold uud hungry litornry
circle which was soon arranged round
tables adorned with spotless liuon aud
beautiful flowers Tho literary savants
however had scarcely begun to satisfy
their hungry maws with excellently
propared bouillon wafers olive and cel
ery whon tho hostess politely informed
them that she hud no further refresh
meuts to offer hut expressed a wish that
her guests would don their wraps and
follow her Through tho snow aud
piercing March winds she led tho tan
talized Brownists to the residenco of Mr
and Mrs P T Birchanl and when they
realized their destiuatiou hope revived
in their siukiug breasts for there also
tho tables wero daiutily arranged aud
adorned and nuother contribution was
mado to the omnivorousappetitcs of tho
eager searchers after poetio lore Rich
chicken patties cabbage escal
loped potatoes sandwiches ind raspberry
punch wore items iu tho bill of faro
Somewhat mollified by this toothsome
and more substantial entertainment the
club was settling dowu into content
ment when thoy wero again bidden to
rise and march And they marched like
pilgrims or rathor like soldiers in rank
and file away down from tho Heights
on aud up to and by the Congregation
al church and then westward ho I away
and away to the residence of Mr aud
Mrs Stewart out on the onfiuea of civ
iltzatiou
By this timo tho cuUivatooi travelers
had fouud their stomachs agaiu and
although on the frontier discovered that
another feast was awaiting them Veal
croquotos Saratoga chips Parkorhonso
rolls and ohooolati dollcato niid rlnh
nndsorvedlu a manner befitting the
very center of olvlllzntlon and doliitf
credit both to heart and hand of the
hostess Tho distinguished circlo of
literati was In a mood to Scorn de
lights and live laborious days by fall
ing to and devouring Browning Hut
this was not to bo and again donning
wraps and rubbers thoy sullied forth
to Couuty Attorney Tylers homo 1 lore
tho festivities wore continued with va
riety sufficient to add piotiirosquomss
ami pleasure loo cream fnncy cakes
coffee and stuffed dates constituted the
entertainment which was both rich
aud dainty
Tho Browning club has hud many a
pleasant evening but nothing to be
compared to this The ladles kept their
secret so well that the surprise to the
circlo was complete Tho change of
scene and tho variety kept every ono on
tho qui vivo and expectation when
onco excited stood nil the time on tip
toe A different color scheme was cur
rled ont at each homo Mrs Tyler com
bining tho whole At Mrs DurlanilH
the floral decorations consisted of pink
roses and smilax at Mrs Birchards red
roses at Mrs Stowarts daffodils antl
lilies and at Mrs Tylers carnations
Tho state of mind in which the club
was held throughout the ovonlng miiy
bo Imagined but not described the sur
prise wonder excitement the pleasure
and hilarity wero unbounded And tho
whole plan was curried through without
a hitch Tim closing scene wus ut Mr
