The ticket nominated by the republi
cans at Yankton last week IS meeting
with the universal and hearty approval
Of the republicans Of the state. The
candidates are each and all men worthy
to fill the positions they have been nom
mated for, aud no sign Of dissatisfaction
from any quarter has yet come to our
notice. With vigorous campaign by
the republicans of the state there Will be
no question OF their election. While the
whole north is sweeping around to re-
publican principles South Dakota can
not afford to tail out OF line TO take up
with the vagaries OF populism or the
free trade fallacies OF democracy. Nor
is she gong to do it.

T.. LOckhart an EntlAustaS.
tic Reception


tic Reception
The hearty welcome and earnest con-
gratulatlons which Mr.. j. l.. Lnckhart
received upon his return home from the
republican convention at Yankton where
he was honored by the party with the
nomination on the state ticket for the Of
flee of commissioner OF school and public
lands, was an indication OF the high
esteem in which MIR. I.ockhart is held by
those who know him best--those who
have wintered and summered with him
and by close association have learned to
appreciate his sterling qualities.
On Friday night, previous to the ar
rival of the midnight train his enthusias-
tic friends formed {. procession headed by
the band, with torches and lanterns march
ed to the depot, and when Mr.. Lockhart
and the delegation from the convention
stepped off the train escorted them home,
where the candidate made short speech
thanking his friends for the hearty and
altogether unexpected demonstration OF
enthusiasm with which they greeted him.
Owing to the Iateness of the hour pre-
cluding any further proceedings it was
decided to give public reception TO Mr..
Lockhart at an early day IN the future,
and with three cheers for the next com
missioner of school and public lands the
company dispersed.
Notice was given the following day
that the proposed reception would be
held on the lawn at Mr.. Lockhart's resi-
uence Monday evening, and accordingly
q. the time mentioned a large assemblage
of friends, irrespective OF party affllia-
non, gathered. The lawn had been pro-
vlded with chairs ana was prettlly
lighted with Chinese lanterns and gaso-
line lights, and large locomotive head
light. Mr. w. b. Saunders presided as
chairman of the meeting and the follow
ing program interspersed with band
music and songs by a male 'quartette,
was followed:

at times to see the efforts of the speaker

A Peculiar VIII.

A man named Zalesky, who died in
Poland in 1889, left peculiar will.
The envelope which contained the will
said: "To be opened after my death. "
When the envelope was torn off, an
other one was found underneath, with
the words, "To be opened six weeks
after the first envelope has been
opened" The next envelope bore the
inscription, "To be opened in year.
After waiting year the envelope was
opened and found to contain still an
other, which said, ''To be opened in
two years" And when the will was
finally reached it was found that he
had bequeathed 100, 900 rubles or half
his fortune to his relatives having the
largest number of children, while the
other half was to be invested for a
hundred years, at the end of which
time the principal and interest were
to be divided among his relatives. -

field sorrel. The soil was of hard
clay, and in drouth it was baked to
the depth of five or six inches, and
possibly more; and I have seen
heavy shower lasting several hours
pour down upon it until it seemed as
though it would deluge the whole sur
face, but to my surprise, after it had
ceased raining for two hours, this
ground seemed as hard and dry as it
had been before.
Two years ago last summer this land
was broken up, manured, and planted
with potatoes, which yielded almost
neighbor tried new plan, at least
new to me, and possibly to many
others. He had partially meadowed
piece of land close by, and during the
summer when the potatoes were hoed
for the last time he cut the grass on
the meadow, and after it had dried he
spread it along through the hills be-
tween the rows of potatoes He cut
the meadow the second time and
spread the cutting as before ;and by the
time the potatoes were ready for digging
the hay had settled well down on the
surface, and the hay was covered with
soil when the potatoes were dug. The
next spring it was plowed much easier,
appeared more friable than before,
and after tilling it well, he sowed
varied assortment of vegetables, and
among them peppers, which, when
ready for picking. were the largest in
this vicinity. Some of the vegetables
did not do quite as well as they
would, had they been in other soil,
but taking ali in all he had surpris.
ingly fine crop on his hay fertilizer,
which he continued to apply when
ever the meadow was ready for cut
ting.
Last summer, much to my surprise,
he put several trenches through the
lowest part of the clay bank, which
broke up even better than before, and
set out some four hundred or five hun
dred plants of White Plume celery,
using liberal quantity of well rotted
barnyard manure. Every one knows
about the drouth we experienced last
summer, but he continued his appli-
cation of hay, and the result was mar
velous. The hay protected the scorch
ing sun from striking directly on the
soil, and all the moisture was availa-
BILE for the plants. To be sure there
still remained Jumps of earth which
were exceedingly hard, but these were
utilized in telling manner. In hoe
ing his celery he would set these hard
Jumps of clay around each plant,
about two inches away from the stalks,
and carefully draw the looser and
finer earth up to it. The result was
that he had some of the finest celery
| had ever seen, and it was as clean
and white when taken from the ground
as though it had been carefully washed
and scrubbed.

BLANKETING SHEEP,

It was an old custom with early
breeders of merino sheep in Italy aud
elsewhere to cover the lambs with a
sort of linen shirt, sewed on, so as to
keep constant pressure on the wool,
and we.ting this covering with warm
water to make the wool soft and sleek.
AS the lamb grew the bandage wa'
loosened slightly, but kept tight
enough to hold the fbers together.
The lamb was killed when it's pelt
reached the highest value for the de-
sired purpose. 1t was, and is, prac-
tice of some sheep raisers to keep
coverings on their sheep to give
greater quality to the fleece, The
practice is quite common with ex-
hibitors at sheep shows. At the Co.
lumbian Worlds Fair, III. G. Mcdowell
showed in his large exhibit what he
was pleased to call his Eight topped"
Dickinson delaine merinoes. They
had evidently been blanketed since
they were shorn last spring. The eff
feet was very pleasing. The expense
was trihiug, and the selling qualities
of the feeces were greatly enhanced.

For over half a century the John f. Lowell

mention of the name John j. Lowell Arms Co.
is a synonym of honesty and reliability.

although "a years old. is invariably at his desk
every day to overlook the rapidly increasing
business.
No sharp practices in trade can be laid up
against him. His record for honesty and in

GRIT FOR FOWLS.

After reading and hearing much
about pounding crockery for fowls,
writes NJ. E. Allen, thought would
try the experiment, though with but
little faith that the fowls would care
much for such provender. 1t was a
much dreaded job; for l supposed I
must pound up ''a lot" and gather it
up into dish for them to pick at
their leisure. But | found on trial
that the stuff flew everywhere so that
business soon played out. Next L
took flat stone into the hen house,
with hammer, and pounded away
till I was tired. At first the hens paid
no attention to the grit; but after q
few days of confinement when the
ground was covered with snow, no.
ticed that the broken china had all
disappeared, and it was not long be-
fore / had to drive them back for fear
of pouding their heads, SO anxious
were they to get the hard grits.
Broken glass and dishes were utilized,
thus clearing the pantry shelves of
useless rubbish. National Stockman

Finest Horsemen in the World.

"The United States cavalry OF to-
day are the finest horsemen in the
world" said Thomas p. Quinlan, of
Omaha, who is at the Sturtevant, "and
it is all due to the wonderful training
that the troopers are put through at
Fort Reilly, where the Government
has established riding school which
is the largest in the world. While on
a business trip out there recently 1
witnessed troop of the Seventh Cav
airy at drill. One of the most strik-
ing maneuvers is as follows A platoon
of mounted men is drawn up at one
end of the arena. Across the center of
the arena hurdle three feet and a
half in the clear is stationed. At q
note of the bugle each trooper sets
back on the cantel of his saddle, at a
second call all the stirrups are crossed,
having been previously shortened for
the purpose. At the next call the
troopers insert their feet into the stir
rups and stand up; then the charge is
sounded and the troops in perfect line
move toward the hurdle at smart
gallop, rising toget her and landing on
the other side in perfect alignment.
The charge is continued to the end of
the arena. The call Fours about, is
heard, the platoon is again in line, re-
turns and takes the hurdle the second
time; the calls 'Fours left about is
again given and the command comes
to halt, drops back to the cantel, re-
moves the feet and replaces the STIR
rups. This is one of the most thrill
ling spectacles imaginable. 1t is by
by no means as intricate, however, as
the figure eight movement in single
and double file executed by full
troop all standing up in their short
ened and crossed stirrups. A frequent
spectacle is charge of forty or fifty
men four abreast, all standing up.

OLD HORSES MADE INTO FERTILIZER.

Farmers whose horses are played
out and useless can sell them for
$1.50 to 81 piece to establishments
that convert the animals into fertil-
izer, says the Drovers' Journal, and
then later on the farmer purchases the
fertilizer and plants the output of his
old horses where it will enrich his
crops and hasten their growth.
The manner of disposing of the ami
mails is this: When led from the pen
the horse is tied to post and the
"black cap placed over its head.
The executioner then strikes it across
the head with an AK and the animal
falls helpless to the floor. Its throat
is then cut and life vanishes This
done, the process of dissection and
separation begins. The hide is first
removed and the carcass boiled, if
it contains any fat The grease is
designated as ''horse oil. " The bones
of the lower limbs are boiled, and the
fat extracted from them is called
"neatsfoot OIL" When the flesh of
the carcass has been thoroughly boiled
and the grease skinned off the sur
face of the vat it is thrown into the
cellar and allowed to remain there for
over three months, all the time being
subjected to the influence of potash
and gypsum, which is mixed with it
and which rots it.
The bones pass through two crush
ers, the first of which reduces them
and the second grinds them to pow
der Several chemical ingredients are
then mixed with the bone dust. This
preparation is what is commonly
known as bone fertilizer, and is prob
ably the best artificial commodity used
in agriculture. The horse hides are
disposed of to leather manufacturers,
and bring more than was originally
paid for the entire animal. But not
horses alone are used in the produc-
tion of fertilizer. A great many cat
tie go that way, too, and as for bones,
those of any animal are valuable.
Several qualities of fertilizers arc
produced from animals it all depend
ing upon the amount and quality OF
the ingredients used, Various vego
tables aud cereals require fertilizer OF
a certain strength, and while a certain
quality will produce good results on
one kind of vegetable it will destroy
another. The price per ton ranges al
the way from $40 to S35.
