Notes..

The National Nurseryman suggests
that originators turn their attention
toward the Improvement of the black
berry and raspberry in the line of re-
ducing the size of the seeds.
A heavy application of ground-bone
will produce excellent results for sew
eral years, for the reason that the bone
gives off its particles slowly, and is not
dissolved for several seasons.
Hot beds for early plants may he
prepared, and the manure put in later.
Save fresh horse manure that is free
from litter, keeping it in cool place
so that it will not begin to heat until
wanted for use.
BY clearing out undcrbrush and re-
fuse. not only from the fences and
other places but where piles have accu-
mulated in the forest, there will be less
liability of forest fires. Green trees do
not take fire quickly. 1t is the dry ma
terial that causes the damage.
Where the best crops are produced
weeds never gain a foothold. and
never have a chance to grow. This law
is universal. Weeds do little injury to
good farms, and on the contrary good
farming exterminates weeds. This
fundamental truth should be taken
into consideration whenever the cOun-
try becomes agitated over some new
weed.
Experiments conducted at the Ala
bama Experiment Station with Ragi
millet, Eleusine coracana, and KodO
millet, Il species of Paspalium, both OBJ
tanned from the Madras Presidency
seem to prove that these plants will
make good pasture crops for cows and
other stock, and also be profitable hay
producing plants in the Southern
States.

penfness Can Not bs Curod

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear, There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies, Deafness Is
caused by an inhamed condition Of tho
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh which is nothing but an In

Improved Brace for Wire Fence

Improved Brace for Wire Fences.
One trouble with wire fences is the
liability of the wires to become loose
sagging down or losing their tension
This is mainly caused by the posts tip
ping or leaning toward the point of the
greatest strain and which is not fully
overcome by the common plan of plac,
ing Il brace against the top end of the
post, the other end being imbedded IN
the ground. This lower end is subject
to the action of frost, decay, and the
liability of the stone or other substance
against which it rests to become dis,
placed. BY the plan shown herewith

Farmer Boys and Their Fathers.


All farmers boys cannot take u
course at the agricultural college, but If
the fathers of these boys do their duty,
many of them will be able to take
n scarcely less valuable course Of study
at home.
The wide diffusion Of agricultural
knowledge by means of bulletins,
books and the agricultural press, and
the influences of Oranges, Alliances,
and similar organizations, has produc-
ed large number of intelligent farm
ers. They know not only the art Of
farming but the science that under
lies it. Let them establish n college at
home and train their own sons.
That the boys are not trained to fol
low the calling of their fathers, and
made to feel deep interest in it, is due
largely to thoughtleSsncSs and care
lessness on the parts Of parents.
The boy is made acquainted only
with the rough side of the business.
He is given duties to perform with no
explanation of the why and the where
fore. He feeds the stock so much of
this and of that, but is not told Of the
mysteries Of digestion, nor why it is
better to feed one ration rather than
another He is left in the dark on the
subject of the nutritive value of foods,
and sees no reason for the care he is
required to exercise in feeding.
If it appears to the boys as n Weari-
some, humdrum business, the father is
probably at fault "All work and no
play makes jack n store clerk or
lawyer instead of farmer.
1t would be an advantage to the son
and the father, too for the son to have
an insight into the business side Of
farming, for him to know all about
the expenses and the income, the ne
cessity for certain expenditures and for
economy in other directions. He should
be taught how to buy and how to sell.
Many a boy has to learn all this after
his father dies, and the responsibility
is suddenly thrown on his shoulders

Bad Conditions in Wisconsin

Not by any means is South Dakota
the most drouth stricken state in the
Union. Below we publish letter from
gentleman living at Darlington, Wis,
written to Henry Parry of this city,
which gives pretty faia idea of the
prospects in Wisconsin. The gentle
man, whose name we withhold, has
made frequent trips to South Dakota
and is favorably impressed with the,
future agricultural prospects OF the
state:
DEAR SIR-Will write you today and
inform you of condition of things in
this county. Never in my experience
have [ seen the. face of a country look
as it is at present. No pasture for
stock, no hay to make, oats almost
total failure, corn and potatoes look
well but if we do not get rain in few
days they will be failure. Please
inform me if there is grass privileges
that you know of where parties could
make hay in large quantities as we
will need thousands of tons of hay for
our people to feed their stock this COM
ing winter. If they canrot get grass
privileges would buy hay and bale it
ourselves but want great deal of it.
Try and send me sample of all growing
grains in your section if you can as it
will be a good advertisement for your
country

what he says before he says it. He has
an attractive and dignifed appearance
upon the platform, and his presence
alone would command respect and at
tention from any audience. MIR. Cotton
spoke forty-fve minutes to the largest
crowd that ever asse bled in the Val
ley, going deep into the capital and
labor question, and pointing out evils
which the American people will some
day, sooner or later, be called upon to
meet. He closed his address with a
flow of patriotic eloquence that stirred
every person in the large audience and
left upon them a pleasing and lasting
effect When we consider that Mr..
Cotton has spent the greater part OF
life and grown from boyhood to man
hood upon a Charles Mix county farm,
we are all the more proud of him.

utter impossibility to thwart the de-

carry them. When the train pulled
out the crowd yelled and waved their
hats as parting salute to Mitchell
and the people at the train were equal

that when a bunch of tramps leave
Sioux City on this division of the Mil

Mitchell is reached the superintendent
issues orders not to let them ride 1t
is an unjust discrimination and the

the crops are said to be very abundant
