She Did and She Didn't.

Here's clipping from an old newspaper,
it is entitled ''Their Different Ways and
there is wisdom in it
She sought her ''rights,'
Robbed by some cruel chance of life's de
lights,
With dissatisfied and restless soul,
With half logic which she counted whole;
Earnest, no doubt, and honest, not unsexed,
But hungering and querulous and vexed.
With starving insticts in fruitless frame,
And with an itching for the sort of fame,
Which comes from the mere printing of Il
name,
She clamored for her ''rights,' showed
solemn craft,
And men,
Brute men,
They only laughed.
She did seek her 'rights,"
She dreamed not of some path to mannish
heights,
But followed natures way, and deemed it
good,
And bloomed from flower to fruit of
womanhood;
She loved the "tyranti" bore her noble
part
In life with him, aud thought with all her
heart
She had her rights
She held that something men and women
meant
To be unlike, but each supplement
Unto the other twas her gentle within,
He was not more to her than she to him.
And little children gathered al her knee,
And men,
Brute men,
Would die for such as she.

Farmers in South Dakota

One of our valued exchan ges in speak
.ng of the desirability OF keeping every
cultivated field free from weeds says:
Every growing weed is a pump draw
ing moisture ont of the soil, and the
amount OF moisture thus taken out OF
the soil and evaporated into the air is in
exact proportion to theleaf surface OF the
plant. This condition arises from the
nature OF all plants by which they on
~stantly evaporate from their leaves the
moisture they take up with their roots.
This fact makes clean culture imperative
to secure a crop of those plants which
have to make a growth in hot weather.
Those who advocate the advantages OF
frequent cultivation as a safe guard
against drouth because, as they say, it
makes a dust blanket which acts as a
mulch, doubtless get much advantage in
retaining moisture by keeping the land
entirely free from weeds. Any mellow
soil will be moist even in very dry weather,
if the moisture is not pumped up and
disipated into the air by growing plants.
Provide against drouth by clean cultiva-
ton.

Feeding Wheat TO Hogs.

1t will be a wise move ic- the farmers
Of South Dakota to take into considera-
ion whether it is best to sell their wheat
ut forty cents per buShel or less or to
'eed it to hogs and other stock in place
If corn. One farmer writes to the North
western Miller, Of Minneapolis, as fol-
Jws:
Ihave the following report OF IN eI-
pertinent in feeding wheat to hogs:
Twenty-one shoats were fed for a week
on wheat. The weight OF thehogs when
feeding began was 1900 pounds, and at
the end OF the first week it was 2,345
pounds, showing a gain of $50 pounds.
The amount OF wheat fed was twelve
bushels. These hogs are sold TO be de-
livered Sept. Is, at $3.50 per 100
pounds. This shows a gain OF $16.56,
or 1.3S per bushel for wheat. This
wheat is soaked twenty.four hours be-
ore being fed. Abont hall OF u crop is
going to be fed to the stock, as there
will be very little corn.

that the admiral will make q rD

Walker will probably remain in va

rs he wishes to consult him upon

ton is that Admiral Walker va

The State Fair.

President o. P. Kemp, of WATERFOWL,
Frank NJ. B Byrne, OF Miranda, Faux
county, and Secretary M. II. Kelley, OF
Aberdeen, members OF the executive COM
mittee OF the State Agricultural society,
held a meeting in Aberdeen a few days
ago and took action on q number of
matters OF vital concern to the approach
ing exhibit.
They report a rate OF one fare for
round trip to all individuals visiting the
fair. and one half the usual charge for
freight OF various kinds, and it is posi-
BILE that even d better rate may yet be
secured.
The committee also concluded to ad-
NIT all exhibits except in the stock and
speed departments without entrance iee
or charge OF any kind, exhibitors, how
ever to pay their own personal admis-
sion at the gate in the same manner az
does the general public. This is q radi-
cal departure from the usual method and
custom and ought to be appreciated by
everybody who has anything to exhibit.
Steps We're taken and q sum of money
appropriated for a series of bicycle races
which will he features of at least two
DAYS, perhaps three, of the fair.
This is a state institution, as solid as
the state, and its success at this time in
doubly desirable for reasons which will
occur to most people.
Let the people devote a portion of
their time and energies to the fair, let
them make it the success it can be made,
and the result will tell in years to come.
