Few people q understand why cat
tie will keep as fat on South Dakota
grass and hay in the winter a will
stock in other states on corn. This
winter in South Dakota no . and
little hay has been fed to stock. Cat
tie and horses have been turned out
and have made q rich living on the ma
tive grass which natures on the
ground. and so we'll do they flourish
that they are as fat az the corn fed cat
tie in other states and bring as good
prices. A recent analysis of prairie
grass and Of Wisconsin timothy, Glow
er and millett shows the reason. The
analysis showed Dakota upland hay,
cut July %, 1915 per cent.o of d~igestable
substances; cut September 4, 1919 per
cent: timothy, 40. SO; clover, 4S.02, and
Golden Head millet, 48.53. In other
words, the wild prairie grass, cured on
the ground, contained q perceptibly
greater percentage of food qualities
than the best tame hay.

For several years she has been an ar
dent student of the bible, and became
thoroughly convinced that the vege-
tartan theory of life was correct, going
SO far in her dieting as to even injure
her health, OF late she has labored
under spells Of melancholy, and ex-
presses extreme hatred for the bible
and its sacred contents. Occasionally
she has been very violent, and 1t il
only by extreme force that they are
able to restrain her from doing per-
sonal violence to herself and the per.
sons around and about her. The COM
mission were in . quandry az to what
to do. The patient was evidently In.
sane, and her parents had not set &C

finally decided to report the facts Al
they were, and let the superintendent,
