While in Jerauld county last Sunday.

this place. they have Il section Of H.
fine land us it was ever our lot to look

Several years ago the manager of a
prominent railroad line adopted rule
that all employees must abstain from
the use of intoxicating drinks, other
companies followed their example.
Last week a large manufacturing firm
IN Connecticut announced that no mote
drinking men will be employed, anil
gave as a reason that heavy losses hail
been sustained through employees I'D
der the influence of liquor. The dsk
is not distant when a young man whb
spends any part of his time in saloons
or is known to drink anything of in
toNicuting nature will look in vain for
positions of trust. Business as now
conducted requires clear heads, steady
nerves and healthy bodies, qualities
which caflnot be found among liquor
drinkers.-EX.
An agricultural writer gives the fol-
lowing advice in regard to soft corn.
which may he of some service to those
of our farmers who may have u dam
aged crop: ''1he best use that can be
made OF it is to feed it out as early and
rapidly as it can be done with profit.
Hogs and cattle that can be fatted for

Every home in our land should he
furnished with Il good supply of I1ews-
papers. There is no other way by

encourage their children to read the
newspapers, by taking one or more If
them into their families, they would
very quickly discover how much bene-
fit would be derived from them. and
how much faster their stock of knowl-
edge would increase. Books you may
have in abundance-and they are good
in their place-but they soon become
m~opotonous. and are like an old song
to the child, while the newspaper. COM
