Aberdeen News: Mr.. Mills circular
is a body-blow to such %hypocrites as
the Milbank Review. They stand i'm
peached by the written testimony OF
their chief. The circular is an appeal
for populists and democrats to shoot
in the dark; to avoid an open fight.
Afraid of a direct appeal to the peo-
pie, the candidate, I'VE his own name,
appeals to his partisans to make a
sneak on their neighbors.

The Sisseton newspapers seem
to be enjoying republican pros
perity without regard to race,
color or previous condition Of
servitude, for the Courant has
recently been enlarged to a six
column quarto and the Banner
last week says of itself:
The editor visited the Twin Cities
last week and ordered complete steam
fixtures for his power press. He will
purchase q two-horse gasoline engine
of G. E. Reed, the local machinery
man, and as soon as the machinery
and fixtures arrive and a small addi-
ton can be built on to the Banner
Office, the paper will be enlarged to a
six-column folio, and will be all home
print.

Thos. H. Nlii, whom the
Review is masquerading as a
non-partisan candidate, has al
ways been an uncompromising
pop, unrelenting in his warfare
upon the republican party in the

sudden and wonderful change,
but his private circular shows
that the Ethiopian has not
changed his color nor the leopard

The populists are relying upon
the political apathy Of an off year
to secure the election Of populist
judges. Republicans, support
ing political principles that have
proved their efficiency in every
test, should certainly be us
earnest, wide awake and enthusi-
astic as men who pin their faith
to q party whose principles have
never been put into effect with
out bringing disaster upon the
country.

Hon. John L. Pyle. who was u
delegate to the Webster o Ven
ton from Beadle county, and the
leader Of the opposition forces to
Mr.. Mccoy in the convention,
has sent the following letter to
his republican friends in Beadle
county, and his presentation of
stSe case is applicable in many
reafectS to this county:
Dear Sir
| wish to call your attention to the
fact that there is a judicial election
this fall, which occurs on November
5, for the selection of a successor to
Judge Campbell and to urge the i'm
portance OF all republicans going to
polls and voting q straight republican
ticket. 1t would be poor policy at
this time for the republicans of this
county to permit the county to cast a
heavy vote for the opposition, even
though he may be o citizen Of our
own county, for it might work against
us in representation hereafter and in
other ways lose us our replt ltion as
9 strong republican county and could
do Mr.. Null nc good, as there is no
doubt but what every county in the
circuit will cast q good strong
republican majority. / trust that you
will GO to. the polls and see that oil of
our republican friends of your precinct
got to the polls and cast as full q
vote as possible in order that we may
retain our standing with the party in
the state. Mr.. Mccoy, the republican
nominee will be In all respects an
honorable. and worthy OF
Judge Campbell, and l am sure will
give entire satisfaction Is . Judge.
Very truly yours,
JOHN L. PYLE.

Huron, S. D., Oct. II, 1901.

Dear Sir: Having been nominated
for circuit Judge of this judicial cir.
cult, | want to ask you for your
assistance. | am at a disadvantage
because the district last year I've the
republican ticket 1864 majority, and
in order to win against these odds
must have the support of all my
friends in this district. This being al
Off year election, it is quite likely tina
not much over one-half of the vote
will be polled. The republicans are
so confident of easy victory that they
are not making any canvass.
UNDER THESE CONDITIONS WE CAN
AND OUGHT TO WIN. IF A FEW OF
OUR FRIENDS WILL QUIETLY PASS THT
WORD mi SEE TO IT THAT EVERY
PEOPLES PARTY MAN AND EVERY
DEMOCRAT IN THE TOWNSHIP GETS
OUT TO H POLLS AND VOTES WE
CAN MORE THAN OVERCOME THE ODDS
AGAINST US. In your township las
year Bryan received - votes. Now
how many of these votes can be secured
this fall? II n II IT IS Nh
THAT WE WIN FOR AFTER THE DEFEAT
LAST YEAR WE NEED SOMETHING TIC
GIVE US NEW COURAGE o THE BAT.
TIE NEXT YEAR AND IF WE CAN PULL
OURSELVES TOGETHER AND MEET WITH
SOME SUCCESS THIS FALL WE CAN
ALL GO INTO THE FIGHT NEXT YEAR
WITH MORE ZEAL AND ENERGY.
l would suggest that you consult
with a few of our friends in your town
ship and make a list of our friends
and then see each One and impress
upon them the absolute necessity OF
polling every vote. 4 y \ = x \
Thanking you in advance for any
interest you may take in my canvass,
l remain, Very truly yours,
L. II. NULL.
Now Mr.. Null has Il perfect
right to urge his democratic and
populist friends to support him,
as the populist nominee, bat he
has no right at the same time to
present himself us IL non-partisan
candidate. Why not be manly
about the matter? Mr.. Null can
not be democratic candidate for
democratic votes and a non
partisan candidate for republican
votes. He cannot in honesty as,a:
his friends to "luietly pass the
word ald see that every people
party man aud democrat in ,ht.
township gets ont to vote, md
at the same time claim that he j.
q non-parlisan candidate. II i,
the baldest hypocrisy on the part
Of the Grant County Review IT,
be constantly urging the claim
Mr.. Null as a non-partisan
candidate, when Null himself
that his success this fan is
needed to give new courage for
next years battle, SO that the
populists may go into the fight
with more zeal and energy. The
plea Of nonpartisanship is II false
and hypocritical one, and tho re
publican who is deceived there
is not wise.

AS result of my experiments with
soy beans, am convinced that they
can be made a paying crop for the
farmer living in the corn belt, says
the Agriculturist. have counted as
high as 214 pods on one plant and be-
lieve they will give an average yield
of 40 bushels per acre on good soil
under favorable climatic conditions and
good culture. The Department of Agri-
culture claims that If the conditions
are very favorable the yield may reach
100 bushels. but on the other hand
drought and poor soil may reduce the
yield to Is bushels. While the soy bean
is possessed of excellent drought re-
sisting qualities it seems to be able
to survive a period of excessive mois-
ture better than the cowpea. The up
right bushy habit of growth gives It
a great advantage over the cowpea
during wet weather. and makes 1t cas-
Ter TO handle at harvest time.
The bean should be planted in late
spring or early summer, after the
ground has become warm, although the
young plant will stand a light frost.
The early varieties should be used If
seed crop is desired. No other crop is
so easily grown or can be used to such
good advantage in compounding ra-
tions as the soy bean. Excepting the
peanut no other raw vegetable pro-
duct known contains such a high per-
centage of protein and fat in such a
highly digestible form. For feeding an
finals the beans should be ground and
the meal used with some less concern
trated feeding stuffs.
An average American analysis shows
that bean meal contains "a per cent. OF
protein, II of fat and 33. S of carbohy-
drates The percentage of digestibility
Is high. In 100 pounds of soy bean seed
there are 1913 pounds of water and 6s.S
pounds degistible material consisting
of 1916 pounds of protein, is pounds
fat. &c pounds of fiber, 17.6 pounds
carbohydrates and one pound of ash,
with a nutritive ratio of about to 1.3
They are almost as rich in crude pro-
tein as the best cottonseed meal, with
a higher percentage of fat. They con-
tain three times as much crude pro-
tein and nearly az times as much fat
as oats nearly 3ls times as much pro-
tein and about three times as much
fat as corn and almost twice as much
protein, and over IL times as much fat
as peas. All of this shows them TO be
one of the most concentrated of feed
ing stuffs.
The soy bean is one OF the most
promising of the annual leguminous
forage crops, and as before indicated.
may prove of special value in connec-
ton with Indian corn, the latter sup
plying the roughness, the soy bean pro-
ducing the dlgestible crude protein
necessary to make a complete and well
balanced ration. The soy bean Is sold
under several names-Gcrman coffee
berry. domestic coffee berry and sofa
bean.

Where Strawberries are grown only
on a small scale. as in the homes
gardens, the narrow bed plan is much
the best, we think, as it involves the
intensive system of culture in the
highest degree. giving the largest
possible yields to the given area The
soil is deeply broken With spading
fork Cor pillow and subsoiler) and
the beds laid off three and half to
four feet wide and as long as desired
If there are several short beds. the
distance between them should be two
or two and a half feet, allowing this
much space for 2. walk, though it may
be dispensed with. We have found it
advantageous to inclose these beds
with a four or siX-inch plank set on
edge and kept in place by stubs driven
in deeply and alternating first on one
side and then on the other. This
border of plank, extending several
inches above the level of the soil is
a'great help in preserving to the plants
the moisture that may fall on the beds
through the rains or an artificial sup
ply of it in many ways. In our eli
mate drought is so common about
the Towering and bearing season OF
strawberries that it is wise to make
all due provision for warding off its
bad effects. However good the varie-
ty may be and however good the pre-
Vious care and preparation of the soil
has been, If drought Is allowed to work
its evil influence just prior to and
during the bearing season an abund-
ant crop of large, WELL favored ber-
ries cannot be obtained.
There must be a free supply of mois-
ture, then, If the plants would do as
well as they should.
When irrigation is not practicable
other means must be resorted to to
insure supply OF lnois-
ture during the fruiting sea
son. BY having plank border
extending several inches above the sur
face of the soil all the water that falls
on the beds, even If it comes from a
short, heavy shower, can be confined
to the beds and a much larger reserve
of moisture secured to the soil than
where il is permitted to run off from
the beds.
When supplemented with a. proper
mulching of pine straw it is quite prac-
teal, under any ordinary conditions, to
keep a very fair supply of moisture
for the plants during the important
period of Towering and fruiting.
In the small home garden, II the bed

| Extract from a paper read before the
Texas Farmers Congress:
In the first place try to find out what
variety does best in the locality in
which you live, and plant that kind, for
there is generally not more than one or
two kinds perfectly adapted to any one
locality. For instance. from Corpus
Christi along the coast to New Orleans
the Creole is considered the most profit
able because of it's earliness and good
keeping qualities. The Bermuda in the
same locality is a little earlier, but not
as good a keeper while it is claimed in
Laredo the Bermuda Is better keeper
and much earlier than the Creole 1t
is necessary to bear in mind that the
earliest onions are raised in the south
western portion of the state, and bring
better prices than those that come on
the market later on and the towns in
the state are generally filled with on
ions and prices ruling low before they
are ready for market in the interior
Therefore, it is important to raise a
good keeper and shipper, as you may
have to ship out of the state to find a
market. Then you may have to hold
for short time to find market, but
it is not safe to hold them long, as the
stored in bulk. Be sure to get fresh
seed as seed one year old will hardly
ever terminate.
Sow seed from Sept, Is to Oct 10 in
beds made rich with we'll rotted stable
manure as clear of grass and weed seed
as possible. Have the beds four feet
wide, mark off rows three inches apart
across the bed, one half inch deep, with
modern tooth rake made for the pur-
t.. H., -.
of one pound to 125 feet Of bed: cover
with the hand or back of rake and firm
the top of bed. Water and mulch light
'ly with hay and keep moist until plants
are up, then take off the mulch and
keep the plant watered II necessary
to make good growth, and when six
weeks old they are generally ready to
set out in open field. If the seeds are
good, one pound should produce $4,000
TO $4,000 plants. Onions should be plant
ed on clean land, which should be rich
and well drained, deeply broken, well
pulverized and leveled. Rows should
be only one foot apart, but if you have
plenty you will do just as well by
having your rows two feet apart and
blowing them with a 14-inch buzzard
wing sweep. Hoe with common field

1t is very necessary to have your rows

is A FRIEND OF RoosEvELT's.

President Roosevelt may appoint one
of his comrades and friends in the
Rough Riders to the internal revenue
collectorship of Georgia now held by
II. A. Rucker at Atlanta. The lucky
man in prospect is w. E. Crockett,
deputy marshal at Gainesville. Crock
EFT was a sergeant in the Rough Riders
and attracted the attention of Roose-
welt by his gallant conduct at the bat
tie of San Juan. The two became warm
friends and in several of his magazine
articles on the war, Mr.. Roosevelt
makes special mention of Crockett of
Georgia" Crockett was badly wounded
at San Juan and has never entirely re-
covered from the effects. He is not an
applicant for the dictatorship, it is
said. but his friends are actively at
work in his behalf Some months ago,
when the collector was ordered to
make a reduction in his forces, Crock
ett's head was one of the first to go
into the basket. He was sick at the
time at Hot Springs. Mr.. Roosevelt,
who was then Vice President, was in
New York at the time, and is said to
have made hurried trip to Washing
ton in Crockett's behalf At any rate
Crockett was promptly reinstated.
Rucker, the report has it will be cared
for in one of the departments in Wash
