Farmers I'm South Dakota

One OF our valued excbang es in speak
ug of the d%esirability OF keeping every
cultivated field free from weeds says:
Every growing weed is a pumpdraw-
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 O n
s~tantly 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 q safe guard
against drouth because, as they say, it
makes a dust blanket winch acts as a
mulch, doubtless get much advantage in
retaining moisture by keeping the land
entirely free from weeds. Any mellow
soil will be moisteven 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 fc- the farmers
Of South Dakota to take into considera-
ion whether it is best to sell their wheat
1T forty cents per buShel or less or to
ICED it to hogs and other stock in place
If corn. One farmer writes to the North
western Miller, OF Minneapolis, as fol-
Jws:
have the following report OF an 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 355 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 $l.3S per bushel for wheat. This
wheat IS soaked twenty.four hours be-
ore being fed. About half OF our crop is
going TO be fed to the stock, as there
viii &c very little corn.

Frank NJ. B Byrne, OF Miranda, Faux

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 u better rate may yet be
secured.
The committee also concluded to ad-
NIT all exhibits except in the stock and
speed departments without entrance fee
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 O 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 a sum OF money
appropriated for a series of bicycle races
which will ne features OF at least two
DAYS, perhaps three, Of the fair.
This is a state institution, rs 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 he made,
and the result will tell in years to come.
