South Dakota Pay. or It's Debts.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 3D. Special. +
"The people of South Dakota have, in ths
last four years, paid off S50,000,000 of their
debts" said one of the best known loan
agents of the State, ''and they are now
paying off att 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 800 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-
une, July IA, 1917

FARM AND GARDEN.
PASTURES NEED CARE.
The Future of Hay Farming in the
United States

The desire to cultivate as much land
as possible in order to get the most pos
sible from it has led to general neglect
of meadow and pasture lands. Only
when it is found that the soil had lost
so much fertility that it would not pay
for cultivating was it seeded down or
left to grow up with such heritage, both
weeds and grass, as nature provided.
The result is that most of the land now
in grass is by that very fact discredited
as being presumably fit for nothing
else. Yet there is in all grass land a
constant tendency to increase in fer
tility. 1t is so even when the 1G2d is
left to grow up with the weeds and
bushes. These shelter the surface, hold
being blown away. The decomposition
of these leaves gradually builds up the
soil, and to this must be added the ex-
crement from animals fed on the herb
age which the soil is still able to grow.
Usually when the improvement of
grass land is determined upon the soil
to be turned under and rot is regarded
us an important part of the soil assets.
Improving the land as meadow and
pasture by manuring it and still leav-
ing it unplowed is hardly ever thought
of. Yetas in most cases the grass land
is, even with manure, not quite rich
enough for profitable cropping, the ex-
pertinent is worth trying of applying
to it such manure as can be had and see
what the increased grass or hay prod
uct will be worth. This is done success
fully in England. Why may it not in the
older parts of this country? The de-
mand for hay is generally good in all
eastern cities. VIII it pay to fertilize
grass lands so as to make the growing
of hay profitable? If it will not pay to
maintain fertility in grass land, the log
ical sequence is that all hay or grass
taken from it helps to reduce fertility
so that the soil will be worth nothing
for the production of any kind of crop.
1t is likely that in the future, as in
the past, most of the hay crop in this
country will be produced in the years
when the rotation between cultivated
crops and grass requires that the land
be seeded. Our climate is not moist like
that of England. Hence it cannot keep
a good sod so many years without plow-
ing and reseeding. This also is so much
the best for cultivated land that there
need be no fear that the profits of Gull
tivated crops will so lessen the amount
of land in grass that there will not be
hay enough to feed with grain and
coarser fodder, nor that it will fail to
be supplied at reasonable prices,-Cul-
tivator.

A VARIETY OF RESULTS.
Comparative Effects of Different Al

Comparative Effects of Different Al
coholic Drinks on Men.
Lanceraux has investigated the
changes taking place in the nervous
system due to abuse of different alco-
holic drinks, wine, beer, absinthe, es-
sences, etc. Some of his conclusions
are as follows:
"lneXcessive use of alcoholic drinks of
high percentage of alcohol, the tactile
and thermal sensibilities do not seem to
be greatly altered while sensibility to
pain seems exaggerated. In those that
use absinthe and similar drinks to eX-
cess, the plantar rctleXes are increased,
light tickling causing movement, while
slight stroking of the knees, legs or alb
domen causes pain severe enough to
cause the patient to complain.
similar results, although less
marked, are to be observed in the up
per eXtremities. In wine drinkers.
this sensitiveneSs of the skin is much
less in the loves eXtremities; above
there may be a zone of hyperaesthcsia,
while still higher in the body normal
skin sensation is the rule. Psyckical
symptoms by absinthe drinkers IRE
stated to be fewer than is generally
supposed and taught in the ordinary
text books. Wine and alcohol drinkers
are prone to attacks of acute delirium,
while in those who drink alcoholic es-
sences forms of dementia are more
liable to follow"

COB COAL FOR HOGS.
1t Keeps Their Digestive Apparatus
In n Healthy Condition.

IN n healthy OnditiOn.
There are many farmers who fail to
make a success of making coal from
corncobs, and therefore the following
explicit directions are given: Save the
cobs and store them in a dry place, to-
be burned when time permits. Aside
from the good care we give our pigs,
we attribute much of their general
health to the condiment prescribed
herewith, which seems to keep their di-
gestive apparatus in a healthy condi-
ton.
One who raises from 100 to $50 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
of corncobs for charcoal. Make a pit
AZ to feet deep, IL to Is inches in
diameter at bottom, AZ to feet on top
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project
six inches over the edge. Start a fire
in the bottom with shavings and add by
degrees a bushel of cobs. and let them
get well aglow. Then add three to four
bushels more, and when well on fire
add more, and so on, until the pit is
rounding full. If they burn faster on
one side than the other side lift the side
that is burning least with a pole. If
you have an old iron rod long enough
lay it over the center of the hole so as
to keep the sheet iron from sagging.
When all the cobs are well aglow, even
blazing freely, cover the hole with sheet
iron and seal the edges with earth, air
tight, and leave it until the next morn
ing, when the charcoal can be taken
out. and if the job is well done there
will be from nine to twelve bushels

delegates will further be instructed to direct
the national committee to cast tn, votes Of the
state delegations for Mr. Bryan and to authorize
him to name his own running mate. Unani-
nous assent to this scheme is not expected, but
an overwhelming majority is anticipated, and
the result will be that there will be no national
democratic convention. This proceeding is vet
three years distant, and many things may hap
pen in three years but there is no question about
the intention Of the Bryanites to force the re-
nomination Of the Nebraskan In the manner
that has been outlined above.
