Select" The "Sixty Day" oats was
the earliest, ripening last year about
twelve days sooner than any other and
before the hot winds had injured them
seriously, yielding 81 bushels per
acre.
The "Tobolsk" yielded 81 bushels
per acre, and the Swedish Select"
yielded SO bushels per acre. The hot
weather undoubtedly reduced the
yield considerably as the general crop
of oats In this locality was seriously
injured.
These oats are offered for sale at 75c

be furnished at 2Oc each unless pnr-
chasers desire to furnish their own
sacks.

Consistency.

Said the grocery man to the butcher man,
at really is u sin
That you buy your salt on the Wholesale plan
And don't let me handle the TIM
Then he hied him back to his grocery store
And quickly All order sent
For few choice hams for family use
And box OF fish for lent.
Said the clothing man to the hardware man,
"YOu certainly don't do right
When you order a suit f.om an eastern house
With my great big stock in sight"
But the clothier wanted new steel range
And il came, as the neighbors know,
In box that he tried in his barn to hide
For twas marked "sears, Roebuck Il Co."
Small chance was there for pulling hair,
Whenever the truth was known,
For the heart Of man is a selfish thing,
And each looks after his own;
And so it was on every hand,
Each man who came to enquire
Soon proved himself as deep in the mud
As his neighbor was in the mire.
The business men called a meeting then
To see where the trouble lay,
And they all agreed twas the editor
Instead Of the devil to pay;
"Why don't he roast the department stores,
And the peddling fakesr' they said,
"And stand by the ones who stand by him,
And give him his daily breadg'
SO they drew up protest, long and strong,
For the editor to peruse,
| And they waited on him with aspect grim
A he solemnly dino for neWs

Till the whole gang took to the woods

The New Loose Fitting Fronts. in Jack

In consequence Of the contour given
the figure by the low bust, straight

sbirt-waists and bodices at the front.
the fit Of coats, jackets and outer gar
ments generally, OF the present sea-
son, Is looser than heretofore. The
general principle of this easy it over
the front is similar to that of the pres
ent style overcoat for men. The sat
isfactory results experienced in wear

only by the feeling OF comfort in
knowing that a handsome bodice or

prived of its original freshness after
being worn only once or twice under
a garment cut on lines heretofore
fashionable. A special article In the
Delineator, for March, makes plain
the steps by which this new fit is ac-
complished.

Macaroni Wheat at the Experiment Station

The South Dakota Experiment Sta
tion has received a aquantityof Macaroni
wheat from the U. S. department OF
agriculture. This wheat will be sold
to the farmers of South Dakota at
$I.25 per bushel. The proceeds OF the
sale to be used in carrying on cooper
ative experiments with cereals. Not
less than two (2) nor more than ten
(l0) bushels will be sold to any one
party and it will be furnished to those
parties only who will agree to raise
and grow it under proper conditions
to assure its being kept pure. The
U. S. Department Of Agriculture has
already gone to great deal OF ex-
pense in Investigating the Macaroni
industry and the raising of Macaroni
wheats Ia this and in foreign count
ries and the adabtability Of various
foreign wheats to our soils and cla-
matte conditions. Every effort has
been made to obtain only those va
rieties that are likely to prove adapted
to our conditions. Precautions have
been taken to secure seed as pure and
free from foul seeds as possible. 1t is
believed that a foreign market has
been secured for all the surplus that
can be raised for some years TO come
and it is certain that there will be an
extensive home demand. The De-
partment Of Agriculture and the Ex-
pertinent Station will endeavor to
protect the co-Operators and to assist
them in disposing Of their product to
the best advantage. 1t should be dis
tiDctly understood, however, that no
guarantee is given with the seed fur
nished except such as is involved in
the fact that the Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary Of Agriculture; B. T. Gal
loway, Chief of the Bureau OF Plant
Industry; A. F. Woods, Pathologist
Psychologist; M. A. Carleton, Cereal
list; Professor w. M. Hays, Special
Agent for the Northwestern states;
and the authorities of the South Da-
kota Experiment Station, believe that
this industry is one well worthy OF the
careful consideration of South Da.
kota farmers and have adopted this
means OF assisting them to develop 1t.
Farmers of the state desiring to
cooperate in this matter should cor

turist Of the South Dakota Expert.
ment Station.
The yields of MacaroDi wheat at the
Experiment Station for last year
ranged from II bushels to 26 bushels
per acre, while the ordinary bread
wheats raised under the same condi-
tions yielded from 81 to l3 bushels Per
acre. 1t is not believed, however, that
there would be as much difference in
the yields between the bread and
Macaroni wheats In an ordinary sea-
son as there was last season. The
fact that the Macaroni wheats ripen-
ed earlier enabled them TO escape the
hot weather that so seriously damaged
the bread wheats.
The Station also has three varieties
