Sioux Falls, S. d., July l3.-[Special. +
"The people of South Dakota have, in the
last four years, paid off $50, 0O0, 900 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, "and they are now
paying of alta very rapid rate. As things are
now goingthe people of the State, and espe-
cially the farmers, will soon be well out of
debt. The large crops of the last few years,
coupled with the close times, have had the
effect of giving the people an appetite for
getting out of debt, and fortunately has also
given them the ability to do So"
Another agent who represents loan COM
pany which has several million dollars
loaned on farm property in South Dakota,
adds his testimony, but the agent complains
that he cannot find takers for one-third Of
the amount he would like to loan.
"Our company has ! 200 loans in this State
on farm lands" said the agent above re-
ferred to, land we have not had over fifty
foreclosures in seven years. The company
does not own a foot of land in the State and
never lost cent on loan. Chicago Trib-

UNLOADING FODDER MADE EASY.

acting in the capacity of a binding pole
To unload, fasten the ropes to beam,
and with the team draw the wagon
slowly out from under the load. The
Z, first time may not always prove sue
cessful, but with little practice the
wagon may be unloaded in few min
utes.
The ropes should be so laid that they
will not catch to anything. The fod-
der must be placed evenly on either
side and the distance apart of the ropes
is to be determined by practice. In un-
loading, if the fodder is heavy, the front
end of the rack must be tied 10 the wag-
on or the hind end placed almost di-
rectly over the hind wheels, as the
weight of the fodder is liable to tip up
the rack. In tying the ropes to the
beam or post, do it high enough TO pre-
vent the drawing downward upon the
fodder. They should be of equal length,
which may be regulated by one man
drawing down on one or the other while
unloading, as he finds it necessary. The
team must be driven slowly. 1t is best
to practice q few times on quite small
loads and notice the effect upon diff
ferent ways of loading and the place the
fodder is to drop, by loosening or tight
ening the rope.-Farm and Home.

SYSTEMATIC WORK.
without IL Poultry Raising Cannot
He Made m sueeesa

WithOut III l'Ouitry IuisinS SunnOt
He Made a Success.
Too much work and no pay discour-
ages all who look forward for the best
results, and II is safe to claim that a
great many persons who keep large
flocks do more work than they should
be compelled to perform; not that work
should be avoided, for only work will
enable the poultryman to derive
profit, but there is no reason why such
work should be drudgery, or become
so disagreeablc that one should dread
to do the duties assigned. No matter
what the work may be, If one has sew
eral hundred hens, and gives his whole
attention to business (poultry), regu-
lar routine can be followed; but for a
small flock of not over 20 hens it does
not pay to spend several hours in the
poultry house. 1t is just such duties
that have disgusted many, and only
those who keep fowls for pleasure and
have plenty of time to spare can afford
to lose the time devoted to small lot
of hens. But much of the work is
made; that is, more work must be done
because it is not done right. The clean
ing of the poultry house is job which
no one enjoys. To go into poultry
house on cold day and pick and scrape
the droppings, inhaling the dust and
getting dirt on the feet and dust on the
clothes, is more than should be done
unless the hens are returning a fair
compensation therefor in eggs. 1t all
depends upon what the attendant does
and how he cleans the poultry house.
One who understands his business will
clean the house with broom. and use
nothing else. First the house is
thoroughly cleaned and busted; then
dry dirt is sprinkled under the roost
on the floor. On this are placed leaves
or cut straw. Instead of cleaning the
poultry house once a week this work IS
done daily. With the broom the walls,
roosts, tops and nest boxes and floor
are swept, the refuse removed and more
dirt and clean litter added, which will
require less than ten minutes for an
ordinary poultry house, thus also CIV
ing the fowls clean, dry quarters and
assisting to ward off disease. The same
in feeding: first learn, by feeding, how
much the fowls should have, and scat
ter the grain in clean litter and the
work is done. Have place ION the
manure heap is best) for the refuse
litter, so as to be able to dispose of it
handily. Fowls kept in this manner
will lay, and TO clean the poultry house
daily will be less difficult than to wait
until large amount of filth accumu-
lates to invite disease.-Farm and Fire

mand for coal and combined with the
depressing effect of importations TO
still further reduce the demand for the
labor OF the miners and the prices paid
Tor their services. While the amount
OF coal actually imported lis only about
100000 tons a year or sufficient to
throw out of employment about 5000
miners, the loss in markets to Ameri-
can mines by the suspension of manu-
featuring was much greater.
The present strike of the coal miners
Is looked upon with great alarm by
democratic leaders here. It calls at
tention directly and pointedly to the
fact that their legislation is beyond
question responsible for the reductions
of wages. all of which. according to
President Ratchford, have occurred
since the inception of that legislation.
Not only is the democratic party re-
sponsible for the reduction of IS cents
per ton which caused this reduction in
wages. but many of the men now most
prominent in its councils and as its
leaders. urged and even demanded re-
moval of the entire duty on coal. plac-

Mr.. William j. Bryan. whose name
and theories are to be especially prom

was one of the most earnest and active
members of the wing of his party which
demanded the removal of the entire
duty on coal. saying in a speech in con-
gress. January 10, 1894:
"The duty on coal is indefensible. A..
/. The duty on coal is nothing but
a subsidy, which the people along the
sea-coast are compelled to pay TO the
transportation companies. Take
the tariff off from coal. so that the New
England manufacturers can buy il for
less and they can manufacture
more cheaply. and then by cutting
down the tariff on the products Of their
factories. we can compel them to sell
at lower price to the people of the
south and west."-C. d. King.

STORAGE OF GRAIN.
Care Must he Taken to Insure Its
Keeping in Good Condition.

/
On the average farm it is nearly al
ways necessary to store more or less
grain. Oats for seed and feeding, wheat
for seed and exchange at the mill for
flour, as well as to market. Wheat is
cash crop and can be turned into
money at any time; it is often as good
plan 20 store the wheat in the granary
and sell us the money is needed as to sell
direct from the machine, when the
threshing is done, and then put the
money in the bank.
But it is essential when grain of any
kind is TO be stored away that pains be
taken TO store in such way as will in
sure its keeping in good condition.
This granary should be clean, well-ven-
tilated and as nearly vermin-proof as
possible. a separate building will gen.
orally supply these conditions more
fully than any other.
If new granary is 10 be built, the
work should foe done in good season, so
as to be sure to have it ready when the
threshing is done, as there is always
more or less loss every time that small
grain is handled, and it is quite an item
to handle il as little as possible.
The granary should be built with the
floor well up from the ground, set on
pillars; put inverted pans or sheets of
iron over each post to keep out rats and
mice; have good, solid floor and be
sure that it is tight. Have good ventila-
ton at the top. The size must, Of
course, depend on the quantity of grain
to be stored, but it is best to have plen-
ty of room, so that in case it is necessary
to store damp grain there will be room
to stir it about.
With an old granary thorough clean
ing out should be given, and it will be
better If the inside is thoroughly white
washed, using good lime wash into
which n small quantity of carbolic acid
or copperas has been stirred.
1t is hardly good economy to start a
crop in such way or under such con-
ditions that it will not be reasonably
cure of keeping in good condition.
There is always some loss in storing
grain; it is quite an item to make this
as small as possible.-St. Louis Repub-

On most farms ut his time of the

and the tender grass, the fat bugs and

THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.
Mistaken Views OF Democrats and
POpulists.

Populists.
The republican senatorial caucus was
wise in deciding TO omit all antitrust
amendments TO the tariff bill. 4 few
republicans, large majority of the
democrats and all the populists appear
to want trust provision incorporated
in the bill, but the republican caucus
has taken the sensible view of the mat
ter and has decided to keep this sub
ject out of the measure. In reality, the
matters of the trusts and of the tariff
are separate and distinct questions.
Neither has any necessary connection
with the other. The democrats and
populists think, or say they think, these
are part of one question, and that the
tariff is the parent of the trusts. They
are mistaken. The strongest trust in
the United States, the Standard Oil
combine" is not aided by the tariff in
the slightest degree, for petroleum, re-
fined as well as crude. is on the free
list. One of the most arbitrary and
iniquitous trusts in this country lie
that which controls hard coal, and yet
not cent of duty is imposed on hard
coal.
Legislation against the trusts is need
ed, but tariff bill is not the place to
put it, The two questions are subject
ed to entirely different sets Of consid-
erations. Arguments for high duties or
for low duties have no necessary bear
ing on the subject of trusts, either in
the abstract or the concrete. There are
trusts in all countries. Trusts have
been, as has already been shown,
formed in articles which are on the
free list, and there are trusts in COM
modities on which duties are levied.
They are omnivorous and ubiquitous.
Invention, discovery. division of labor
and other factors have resulted in COM
binations Of all sorts-in manufactures,
in distribution, in commerce. in the en-
ployment of capital in its various
shapes, and in the organization OF work
ingmen into unions and declarations.
This matter of trusts is vast and
delicate question. 1t must be dealt
with on its own merits1 and without
any entangling alliances between il and
the tariff. or any other subject. Neces-
sarily, the discussion of trust bill
would ordinarily occupy the time OF
congress for weeks or months. Incor-
porated in the tariff bill it would delay
that measure at time when delay is
the thing which men of all parties>and
in all industries are especially anxious
to avert. The trust question is too
large to be preciptated in the closing
days of session. and at season when
everybody is leaving the national cap
ital who cnn get away from it. 1t de-
serves more intelligent treatment than
could be given TO it at the present time.

tween II and the tariff. the trust ques-
