Prosperous Farmers.

Yankton Press and Ddkotidn: In Yankton
County, South Dakota, there are at least
one thousand farmers who came here poor
rs the proverbial turkey of Job. and whot0-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands. Many of them started in with
q house built of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle go. To-
day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, granaries filed with Grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers arc
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain and live stock they would be roll
ing In wealth Prices, however, have moth
ing to do with the fertility of the soil and
the favorable character Of the climate.
These natural advantages are here to stay
and assure prosperity to the farming classes.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW.
ERS

Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in q small but profit
able way, a market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis.,, they
little dreamed that within a third Of
q century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret OF
this phenomenal success was quality,
liberality. push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds: to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety OF
growth, in conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality Of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all.

titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!

The Salzcrs pay great attention to the
new grasses. clovers and fodder

A strong point of the John A. Salzer

Of animals, exist also In plants, while
the starch, gums, sugar and oils which

tables. The tissues of the body are

Cost OF Pork.

An experimenter says that ono
bushel of prime corn will make over
1OH pounds of pork, live weight, and
from this deduction, with corn at Is
cents per bushel, pork will cost the
producer 2x cents per pound. When
corn is worth "a cents per bushel pork
will cost the producer four cents per
pound; 5O-cent corn, pork five cents
per pound. He further says that pig
at its birth should weigh about three
pounds and increase in weight month
after month as follows: Is, 30, 4s, q,
1O3, 135, 10, 2lO. 225, and on the tenth

Education on the Fsru,.

The farmers profession can be ele-
waited above its present standard only
as the children improve upon the meth
DDS of their parents. We miss half the
wear and tear in life when we acquire
the faculty of profiting by the expert
ence of other men. It proves nothing
that some finely-educated man has
failed in farming, or that some uned-
ucated men have succeeded. Edu-
cation will help . man. but it will
never make one. We believe
that the farmers business stands
upon the same basis that supports all
other kinds of business, that the gen.
eral education which is useful to the
doctor, the lawyer, the man upon the
board of trade, is just as valuable to
the man who tills the soil, and that
professional training in schools of agri-
culture will have the worth upon the
farm that the knowledge and discipline
of the law school has in practice before
the courts.-Dixie Farmer.
