Mrs. Muncy Dead.
Word was received Sunday
evening by Mrs. C. D. Hunter
of tlie death of her youngest
daughter, Mrs. Nellie J. Muncy,
at Foreman, Canada,   April  26.

February 28, 1869 near Win-
stead, McLeod county, Minnesota, where her parents resided
on a homestead. In 1877 she
came with her parents to Morrill and until recently has lived
in Morrison county.

Eliminating the Gopher.
The latter part of April or the
first week in May is the best
time to get rid of the gophers
in and around the field that is
to be planted this year. Poisoned corn is good bait. By
laying the first bait about the
middle of April, the second near
the end of the month, and a
third during the tirst week of
May, the gophers should be
pretty well eliminated by   corn
The poisoned corn may be
prepared as follows: In a quart
of hot water dissolve one-fourth
of the amount of strychnine
contained in a one-eighth ounce
battle. After the strychnine
is dissolved and the water is
cool, as much corn may be put
in as the solution will cover. If
less corn than that is needed,
putin about what will go around-
Leave the corn in the solution
twenty four hours, then remove
it, saying the solution that was
not taken up by the corn for
use a little later.
If all the gophers are not
killed before the corn is planted,
then corn soaked twenty-four
hours in the strychnine solution
mentioned above may be planted
thicker than usual in a few of
the outside rows. In a recent
trial at University Farm, corn
soaked in a strychnine solution
for twenty-four hours germinated just as well as corn that
was soaked in pure water for.
the same length of time, or as
corn that was not treated at all.
if the gophers are not out of the
way by corn planting time,
lhis method should be given a
trial. It will help you get a
better stand of corn, which
means a higher yield. The
planter will have to be regulated
so as to give the desired drop
of the soaked corn. Strychnine
is a deadly poison and should
be handled with the greatest
care.    Keep the strychnine solu-
have revived the old spirit of
bigotry and are carrying ou a
campaign of calumny and vilification against the Catholic
church, its priests and sisters,
which reminds one of the printed and spoken agitation of those
troublous times in the last century when bigotry begot personal hatred and destroyed peace
and mutual good will among'
men.
At that time, in the thirties,
forties and fifties—and even
later, in the 80's and 90"s—unscrupulous denominational agitation brought on a state of
mind among certain classes of
of our people which rendered
them capable and eager for public anti-Catholic demonstration,
and even for violence. In the
thirties, forties and fifties of the
past century anti-Catholic mobs
