On many farms the most apparent
causes Of failure are "A want of system,
wastefulness. and mlsdlrected labor.
II doubtless is far more difficult for the
farmer to reduce his business to a
definite system than it Is for the aver
age merchant. but that IS no reason
why he should abandon all attempts
10 do SO, and work bllndly. There are
many farmers who are careful men,
who are striving to reduce their ope-
rations TO systematic rules, and who
are doing a good deal in this line In the
way of keeping daily records Of the
milking of each COW, in keeping ledger
accounts with each important crop,
and in carefully recording the average
work done by faithful men In the sew
eral occupations of the farm. These
are the kind of farmers who are, as
rule, successful. They quickly detect
a leak when one occurs, and can usual
~ tell. after a year or two Of expe-
rience. which operations Of the farm
are profitable and deserve extension,
and which should be abandoned as I'M
likely to prove profitable. The farm
er's business as usually carried ON is
largely a mixed INDUSTRY. There are
usually a few staples produced for sale
which the farm is adapted for by ma.
ture to produce; and. besides. there Is
considerable variety Of produce raised
for home consumption by the family
or by hired help. II the farmer would
carefully count the cost Of each oil
these products, he would doubtless find
that he could probably extend some
Of the small products, and sell the sur
plus at a profit. and not infrequenly
he would discover that some of the
staples supposed to yield a sure prom
are produced at very small profit OF
even at a loss In short. the farme
who uses his brains. and does not sole
ly rely upon the strength Of his muscle
Is most likely to be successful TIT

Many attempts have been made to
use turf OF peat as fuel, but this mate
rial has never obtained great impor-
lance, because in comparison to its
small heating value, its volume was
too large, and consequently the trans
portation was found too expensive;
moreover, the considerable amount OF
ashes it produced made it impractical
Bile to use in any quantity Suddenly
il seems the time has arrived for peat
to enter into competition with, and in
some cases to substitute all other fuels.
An invention, the economical impor-
lance Of which is inestimable at the
present moment, was recently patented
by Mr.. Rosendahl, Of Christinstad,
Norway, which country probably pos
sesses the largest deposits of peat in
the world. His method Of making a
practical fuel of peat simply consists
in heating the peat in iron ovens to
$50 degrees centigrade, and when this
temperature is reached to close all the
valves Of the oven, the temperature OF
$50 degrees being kept up tor seven
hours. This process changes the mate.

Breeding Ground Hogs for Food.


Mr.. Henry Singer, a well-known and
thrifty farmer Of near Duvall Station,
Scott County. Ky, has for the past two
years been DEMONSTRATING the ground
hog with much success. Mr.. Singer
found burrow in which he captured
seventeen ground hogs, and, taking
them into a small lot on his place, he
built a close wire fence through which
none could escape. Last year the hogs
increased to 205. and this year there
were 1.673. or this number Mr.. Singer
killed 1000, which he sailed away and
will smoke dry, as Kentucky farmers
do with ordinary pork. The ground
hog when so cured is a great delicacy,
and Mr.. Singer has more than enough
to furnish his meat for the coming

Much labor In cultivation may be
saved by making corn rows straight.
II is very hard to hold the cultivator
so as 10 miss hills that are alternately
few inches out of plumb line one side
or the other. The result Is that in try
ing to save the hills 1t Is impossible TO
cultivate the soil as It should be or to
take all the weeds With the corn In
a straight line earth may be drawn
from the stalk and thrown back again
so as to destroy all the weeds while
they are small. II requires not only
a true eye in the driver. but an active
strong horse to draw the marker
straight across the field. 1t Is not ev.
cry man or horse that can ever be
taught to do 1t. Those who can should
be paid extra for the job, for their work
Is really skilled labor.

Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1897-11-12

A motion was argued before Judge
Gardner last week which may prove
by his decision to vitality affect the
property of the Dakota Hot Springs
company. The decision grew out of a
motion to attach some of the company
property to satisfy judgment against
it for $4,000 in favor of r. ID. Jennings
for medical services. The court held
that pending appeal Jennings and
Dudley were the only bona fide
directors and ordered the property in
question turned over to them as such.
This would tend to depose the other
three directors. In opposition to this
the defense ask that service be not
granted and summon the plaintiffs into
court to show cause why the defense
should not retain the property under
the security of the bond for s3l 900 filed
at the time of the appeal from the de-
cision placing the company's property
in the hands of receiver. The mo-
ton for summons was granted and the
points at issue will be oargued be
fore the court III few days. What
the outcome will be it is impossible to
state.
