Those who Matched chickens in March
and April will soon have lot Of cocker
Ella Of sufficient size to caponize, and In
regard to these, George Q. Dow, recog-
nized authority, tells in the New York
World that the sooner they are per-
formed upon after reaching the size OF
siI pounds tho longer time they will
have to make their growth for the winter
and spring markets. Mr.. Dow also ex-
presses himself as follows upon the sub
ject Of capons;
A capon to be at its best should really
be allowed to live for year or fourteen
months. The first eight months OF their
lives arc devoted to building up large

The value Of selecting seed potatoes
for home uso has been made apparent
on Long Island. Potatoes from that
part OF the country Invariably sell foi
more than those from any other state OF
locality. Tho market gardeners there
have selected their. seed carefully for
many years. Tho result Is tnGt type
Of potatoes has been formed which nre
OF especial value. They arc larger,
fairef and more glohular In shape than
potatoes from any other section. Tho
market gardeners there believe In the
theory that the potato must ho adapted

To readers who have not already 80.

that ny far as possible potatoes for seed
should be OF average size and shape. IL
this way ono soon gets about the same
sized potatoes from tho fold. They not
only average well IN size, but also IN
shape. This is quito an important point
in selling potatoes. They can all he pn;

Extremely large, crooked potatoes are

but fair. regular and thin skinned ones.
In selecting the seed this point should
be remembered. or course It Is AN nd
vantage TO select the largest, but they
should all he Of about tho same type aud

A correspondent to the Sioux City
Journal OF the 17th inst, In speaking
of the meeting of the State Pharma-
ceutical association at Sioux Falls
says: "Immediatly after q few pre-
liminaries the association settled
down to listen to the remarks OF
President McLouth, Of the Brookings
college, who spoke upon the close re-
lations existing between the work of
the agricultural college and the State
Pharmaceutical association.
Prof. Shepard, OF the chemistry de-
partment of the Agricultural college,
then read an address upon the neces.
sary education required to become q
pharmacist. The address was lengthy,
full OF meat and quaint cayings and
received q very hearty round OF ap-
plause when the gentleman concluded.

1t Is just Treatment.

Last Saturday two representatives
of the Western Union Grocery Com.
pany of Chicago arrived in this city
and began dealing out goods to farm.
ers. 1t was noticeable that most OF
the farmers who had bargaiped for
groceries of this firm, had tor several
years past been in the habit oiIunnine
accounts at stores in this city and
that some of them still owed our
merchants for goods they had bought
over O. year ago.
1t would not appear in such bad
light il the farmers had secured goods
at q lower price than they might have
done in this city but they did not.
Some OF the farmers who had bargain
ed for goods found upon inqiring that
they could save many dollars by
patronlzlng home merchants and did
so in preference to trading with men
outside of the state. Read the follow
ing list OF prices and see how much
the farmers made in the deal:

Accidently Shot.

While out hunting last Monday DR..
Everhard accidently shot Jas. Ear-
kins in the face, injecting q wound
which may destroy one or both of the
later's eyes. Mr.. Harkins was driving
the team and q prairie chicken arose,
flying toward the wagon. A member
OF the party shot but failed to kill tie
chicken and DR.. Everhard, who is q
careful and splendid marksman, waited
until the chicken was, as he supposed,
out oil range of the wagon. when he
fired. One shot entered Mr.. Harkins
face and another the inner corner OF
his left eye. After probing for some
time to extract the shot DR.. Everhard
took his wounded friend to Winona
for treatment. All who saw the acci-
dent say that the shot which did the
harm must have gone wide of their
intended course as the bird fell some
distance to one side OF where Mr..
Harkins sat in the wagon,

now, fellow citizens, does forelgn
firm pay a cent OF our tax? Do they
add dollar to our wealth? On an.
other hand do they not pay taxes in
other states and spend all their money
outside OF South Dakotap
You forget that the city of Brook
ings pays large per cent OF taxes of
the county and that q dollar taken
away from our people lessons their
liability of taxation. You forget the
fact that when there are so many
establishments engaged In the mercan-
tile business there must be strong
competition. and necessarily that
prices are placed at minimum of
profit. The REGISTER assists with
out fear of contradiction that not one
of our merchants has made q living
profit on his investment during the
past year so strong competition has
been.
Surely our merchants carry good
line OF goods and are anxious to sell
at even q small profit. Then why
do you try to lnjure your own inter
ests-shatter the confidence merchants
have placed in you-when they have
carried you year after year on their
books because you were unable to pay
your "store bill?"
A lady who has been in Minneapolis
some months past states she found,
by pricing goods there, that she could
do better by buying all kinds of goods
here in Brookings. There are many
ways you may be cheated by foreign
firms, viz: by short weights, aduler.
ated goods, "stuffed" orders, and by
the footings of bills which chow that
the bill does not tally with the total
given.
There are q hundred ways in which
you may be swlndled, because these
''cheap John" fellows seldom expect
you to deal with them more than once
and they do not try to please you, but
only seek to line their pockets at your
expense and work on Barnum's say ing
that "the great American people like
to be humbugged." II you think to
get something for nothing you will get
left. Better,deal with home merchants
at all times and give these sharpers
the go.by.

Which is to exhibit in Br0oxinos
Tuesday Sept. 9th is highly endorsed
by the press of the state. The Louis

following: "This excellent circus and

day afternoon and evening, and il
we'll deserved the enormous crowd
which focked to the capacious tents.
The menagerie shows up all that has
been advertised, and the ring per.
formances we're excellent, comprising
many very difficult, attractive acts
never before presented here. The rid
ing was good. The clowns introduced
many new comicalities, and tho feats
OF the acrobats, jugglers. and CON.
tortionists were marvellous, and as
tonished and delighted all. We found
all connected with the show perfect
gentlemen, who desire to treat every
one we'll and see that no one was inn.
posed upon" As this is the only
large show that will visit this section
this season We predict a large crowd.

Look to Your Highways.
TContinued from July 29,1


In addition however, to the public
and general disadvantages to the peo-
pie Of the state, there are others
which may be regarded as OF special
injury to the farmer and his family,
of which but little ote is taken.
What is the origin of the movement
of farmers from the life of the farm to
the life of the village and how general
is that movement? ....
From the writer's observation OF
this movement in the town OF Brook
ings alone, it seems that there are
now resident in the town, many farm
ers who have moved off their farms
for considerations affecting the social
and educational welfare of their wives
and children. That this is very
threatening evil to our rural in terests
is obvious to any observer. It's
immediate effect is, primarily, to stop
all rural improvement in every d.
rection, except such as naturally fol-
lows the cultivation Of the soil for
crops. No neat cottages will be erect.
ed to cheer the heart with the proof
OF q thrifty and enliehteped rural
population. No lines of forest and
fruit trees will garnish the arid plains
and give shade and comfort to man
and beast in the scorching days OF
summer. No demand will be made
for good highways, through whose
benign influence the farmers wife and
the farmers children will be enabled to
exchange visits with ease and COM
fort with their neighbors and thus
add to the delights of rural life. It
is very sad and very significant
tact, that a large proportion OF the
inmates OF the asylums for the Insane
OF the great state of Illinois, consists
OF the wives and daughters of the
farmers OF the state, who from the
enforced isolation of their unhappy
lives, largely due to bad roads, have
brooded over their sad lot until
reason has given way and there are
now the hopeless prisoners ofinsanity.
"Ill fares the land, to Fastening ills q prey
Where wealth accumulates and trades decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or fade.
Abreath can make them, as breath has made; ;
But q bold peasantry, its country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied "

An Outrage.

Deputy Marshal Williams arrived
Monday evening with A. Glidden from
Brookings. who was brought before
Commissioner, Robinson charged with
selling liquor without q government
license.-Public Opinion.
Yes and greater outrage was never
committed. Mr.. Glidden is not only
a gentleman of good principles, but q
cripple and every citizen of Brookings
stands ready to defend his character
and loyalty to the laws of the state.
The following correspondence clipped
from the Sioux Falls Press shows the
whole matter in it's true light: "The
charge was made by a "bum" spotter
who was neither in the service OF the
state, county or prohibition league,
but who claimed to belong to the
"Western Detective agency" what
ever that may be. Attorney Hall OF
this city defended MIR. Gliddsn. and
some interesting facts were revealed,
among which it was found from tho
words OF the witness that he was an
"expert Witness" that it was his busi-
ness to make case; that he must
make case or get no pay, and that
should he succeed in binding the
prisoner over he received expert
witness" fees from the government.
Therefore he took q bottle of cider
from Mr.. Glidden's restaurant, allow.
ed it to stand for thirteen days and
then had q chemist analyze it. OF
course in that time it had fermented
and the chemist found about z per
cent alcohol in the cider. This scheme
has been working for some time and
unles all classes drive these "bum
detectives from the state the tenn.
perance cause will suffer, as oftentimes
the stigma is laid at the doors of
temperance people and not where it
belongs.
Mr.. Glidden has been q resident OF
Brockings for some tims and is we'll
known by all to be consistent busi-
ness man-one who had rather cut of
his right hand than to do q wrong act.
He is a cripple and it is a shame to
put him to SO much expense in order
to give q livelihood to such buns as
that Sioux Fails detective agency lie
sending out to bleed people. We ad.
wise these fellows to give Brookings O
wide berth hereafter or they meet with
harsh treatment"

The King Acknowledged His Mistake.

The good nature CT Italy's King is
we'll illustrated by an anecdote from the
days of the last royal hunts at Mona.
King Humbert is accustomed to take his
sport with the gun in pretty much the
same clothes as other persons and with"
out attendants, thereby distinguishing
him from his imperial German ally, who
has insignia of bis high Office all over
his hunting costume and is accompanied
usually on the chase by nobiemen and
iunkeys.
Shortly before the end of last season
the Kings hound started a hare about
two miles from Mona, and the King
fired. At the same instant another shot
was heard, and IN Italian peasant, with
an old-fashloned gun and a mongrel
dog. hurried up from the opposite direc-
ton. The peasant mistook the simple
yet elegantly-clad sportsman who dis
puted his possession of the hare for a
Roman dude, and caugh5 up the royal
arm stretched toward the dead game.
There was a hot discussion, which ended
in the triumph of the Kings superior
logic and his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the King gave the
hare to the servants that they might pre-
pare 1t fer his supper, and stood by as
they dressed it for the pan. When the
entrails were removed the bullet that
caused the animals death was found. 1t
was of the old style of a gun, Of the
pattern Of fifty years ago. The King
looked at it and at once sent out a mes
senger to summon to the castle the
peasant who had disputed the possession
of the hare. When the old man was led
into the Kings presence the latter
stretched to him both hands and said:
.'My dear man I baye just discovered
my mistake. The hare belongs to you.
As it is already roasting, however, | can
do no more than to ask you to help me
eat it"
The peasant sat at the Kings right
hand at dinner that evening, and,
although high society spoiled his APP
petite, he jingled his ~wineglass against
that Of his sovereign and rode home con-
siderably exhilerated in the royal car
riage.-Chicago Tribune.
