4 Decision Of Great Importance to the

rendered today by Special Master Slater
in the suit of the Hoke Engraving Plate
Company OF St. Louis against r. w. But
Ter Of this city for an infringement of a
patent on chalk plates for newspaper
cut work. The special masters argu-
ment is that the Hoke original and re-
issued patents are valid, that Hoke was
the inventor of the chalk engraving
plates. and that Butler, the defendant.
an Atlanta plate maker, is an infringer.
As chalk plate engraving has grown to be
a most important item of newspaper
work. this finding will be of great interest
to newspaper men.

Best Soils For tie Potato.

The conclusion arrived at by The
American Agriculturist, and based on
reported results from many and VARYING
sections of tho country, is that the best
soils for the profitable growing of the
potato are light gravelly or sandy loan,
or those varying between q sandy and a
clay loan, enriched by the sediment
and remains of former a~lluvial deposits
or decayed vegetable matter, new lands,
those lately cleared and burned over,
and limestone soils. Naturally ~unfavor-
able land may be rendered satisfactory
by proper preparation. A strong clay
soil thoroughly drained, well pulverized
and fertilized with mineral manures or
worn soils brought up by a generous ap-
plicstion of stable manure, wood ashes
or special fertilizers may be regarded
as in suitable condition to produce a
good yield of potatoes.
In no clayey soil can the potato be
grown to perfection as regards quality.
Grown on dry, new land, the potato
cooks fine and mealy, possessing a rich
and agreeable flavor not to be attained
in potatoes grown on older soils. A
thin but fertile soil, resting upon a re-
tentive clay or slaty subsoil, is not de-
sirable for potatoes, even though arti-
ticially drained. Good drainage is in
dispensable to successful culture. A nat
urally drained, loose, mellow, clover
sod or fine stubSle after stiff sod is the
best possible type of a potato growing
soil

Rotation of Crops.

The Delaware County Ia.) Farmers
olub at one of its meetings recommended
a rotation suited especially ia the north
ern section of that state: /. That grass
is the best crop on tho farm. 2. To
maintain the fertility of the soil with.
cut grass is practically impossible. 3.
That no more than one-third the farm
should be under pillow at one time. 4.
That a rotation of crop for six years is
the best for our county. 5. The rota-
ton should be as follows: Two years in
corn, n year in oats, two years in
meadow, one year in pasture. O., That
G permanent pasture made on tdenative
sod is hest. z. 4 pasture that Will not

Mr.. /, t. Egge has been looking after
some business matters in Day County
the past two weeks. He also sold a farm
near Bristol. While in the city one day
last week, he dropped in the REpoRTER
office and, being in a reminiscent mood
related his early experience as a pioueer
in Iowa.
Mr. Egge 5 Parents removed to Iowa in
1858, when he was two years old, and
had no market until 80 nearer than
fifty miles, He says that this country
knows nothing OF hard times, compared
to the early history of Iowa. Like MS
they devoted too much time to one crop
and then had three failures in succession.
Everyone who could possibly get away
did so, but a few could not leave and
they came out winners. The
business was the main support and in
dustry that saved the people aud hro't
them wealth.
Mr.. Egge has unbounded faith in Day
County ami backs it up by investing his

Preparing Potato Seed.

Professor Henry of the Wisconsin sta
ton several seasons ago conducted a Sc
ries of experiments i'll the preparation of
seed potatoes. The experiments included
seed of thin pairing, Que eye to a piece;
thick pairing, one eye to a piece; cut,
ting to single eyes, whole potatoes, seed
ends and stem ends. All received the
same culture. The results with the thin
parings are interesting as showing how
good a yield Of potatoes may be obtain
ed by planting parings. When potatoes
are cheap, the farmer can better afford
TO plant a greater weight of seed pota-
toes than to take the time to cut into
very small pieces.
Further experiments at the Wisconsin
station showed that as between cuttings
and whole tubers the largest market
able yield came from the heaviest cut
ting, though the increase in the yield
was by no means in proportion to the
increase of seed. The proportion of
small potatoes increased with the in
crease of seed. The smaller whole pota-
to gave inferior results as compared with
the smaller cuttings. The hills were 3S
inches apart each way. The trials with
hills as compared with drill planting
showed that no loss of yield followed
planting in hills. The hills were three
feet apart each way, and in the last ex-
periments the hill received two two eye
cuttings Of Rose Seeding potato. The
drills were also three feet apart, single
two eve cuttings of the same variety he
ing placed Is inches apart.

1t may interest ON of our read
ers to know how the Fourth was
celebrated in Webster in the early
days. In looking over the files of
the REPORTER we find a report of a
celebration in 1888, and the program
was substantially as follows: At tell
o'clock, parade Of Indians, Birds of
Paradise and agricultural imple-
ments;ss Grafton by Hon. John w.
Bell, of Milbank; address TO the peo-
pie of South Dakota on Statehood
matters by Mr.. Caldwell: Declare
ton of independence; sham battle by
the Indians; grass dance and horse
aces. In commenting on the cele-
bration the REPORTER says Mcken-
nett and Haugen deserve a word: to
them may be given the credit for
much of the backbone and sand
exhibited in this celebration of u
Nations birthday. They worked
several days in erecting their stand
and dancing floor, even against the
prophesies of rain and other disasters,
but nothing daunted they pnt it
through, and the day would have
been pretty thin but for their work.
The next year the Fourth was
again celebrated. The officers were:
Il. Huntington, President Of the
day; Rev. w, G.. Dickinson. Chap
lain; j. A. Lee, Marshal. The
Declaration Of independence was
read by j.. G.. Adams; Grafton by
Judge Edgerton. A big rain not on
the program was next. IN the after
noon the first game Of base ball
between the Bristol Garlands and
Webster Hornets took place and
resulted in a victory for Webster by
a score of ten to seven. Will Knott
played with the Bristols that day
and made a home run. This wash

during the last three years have shown
quite conClusively that for this section
Is inches is the most satisfactory dis
lance between the rows. Beets IN the
row should stand from six to eight
inches apart. With a greater distance
between the rows the capabilities Of the

There is nothing that speaks so
we'll for a community as good roads,
or a city as smooth, well kept streets.
Realizing this great truth the city
council have decided to purchase an
Indiana Riverside Road Machine.
The best machine Of the kind made,
at least the salesman, the genial
Fred Chamberlain. says so, and of
course that settles it. The deal for
the machine was practically settled
at the council meeting Monday night.
Every township in the county should
have one, they do the work in the
most approved style and are easily
operated, leaving the grade in nice
oval shape, and when once the road
is put in good condition it is very
easy to keep it in shape. Just see
the streets in this city where the
machine has been operated Lit work
is its best recommendation. If you
60 at it right you may prevail on
Fred to sell you a machine, but you
will have to hunt him up and maybe
use a good deal Of moral suasion, as
he is naturally of a very modest and
retiring disposition. Get . road
grader IN your town. It will save
its cost every year, besides giving
thoroughfares than can be
made in the old way. Get out Of
the old RUT. Remember Fred
Chamberlain is The agent and you
will find him at the Commercial.
