Philippines and went there about a
year ago, having the important posi-
tion of provincial supervisor Of
Oriental Negroes, and lives in one of
the most pleasant islands of the
Philippines. Her destination is
Dumaguete, Negroes, and it will
take about ~ days to reach the end
of her journey. After reaching

THE SHOOTING TOURNAMENT
1t Was Held Saturday Afternoon, but
the Scores Made We're Not of
a, brilliant Character.
a Brilliant Character

Saturday afternoon the first shoot
ing tournament of the season was
held on the new grounds east of the
residence Of D. B. Miller, in the
northeast past of the city. 1t was
held under the management of George
Koehler, and the affair was success
full for the first. Many Of the shoot
ers have not had sufficient practice
in shooting at clay pigeons for some
time and they have lost much of
their oldtime skill The scores made
were not very good and number
of the boys have done better shooting
at practice than they displayed in
the tournament. 1t, however, paved
the way for another tournament
that will be held later in the fall,
some time after the chicken hunting
! is over with. MI. Koehler thinks it
will be likely be held some time in
November.
There were "a entries made in the
events that were shot off. The
following are those who did the
shooting: Daniels, Campbell and
Hedden, of Emsley: Chase and Mead

Concerning the matter OF decora-
tions telegram was sent to A. Rohe,

the interior and exterior decorating.
An answer was received from him
Monday stating that he would

that the services of Mr.. Robe could
be secured will make the work go.
faster and assure a fine piece Of
work. He has decorated the three
previous palaces in Mitchell and there
is great deal of confidence placed
in his work. He is expected to
arrive in Mitchell by Wednesday at
the farthest
Monday afternoon the work on the
building was commenced and not a
moments time will be lost between
now and the opening date. The con-
tract for removing the grains and
grasses from the exterior of the
building was let to T. S. Turney and
he began work right after dinner
with his force of men. No dates
have been selected as yet for the
corn palace, as the committee has
barely got to work. The selection of
dates will be governed somewhat by
the attractions that can be secured,
but it is thought that the palace
will be opened in the last week in
4 September or the first week Of Octo-
ber. AS soon as the attractions have
been secured the dates will be named.
The corn palace is a Mitchell enter
prise and it is necessary that every
/ citizen of the city interest himself
in contributing this share toward its
success. The Republican is indeed
j glad to make the announcement that
i the corn palace successes of three
| previous years will more than be dup.
! licated in 1902. There is not the least
treason why it should be otherwise.
1t remains for the people themselves
to give all the aid possible in further

officials Of the executive committee
What is for Mitchell's good every cit
izen should b einterested in. There il
much work to be done within tht
next month oraso and it can be done
With a unanimity Of feeling that th'
corn palace shall he a success. Twt
years ago the corn palace project wa
started at about the same time as th'

BRONZE GRASS PRODUCTIVE
Small Twenty-Five Acre Trac1
Yields 5000 Makes Splendid
Feed for Cattle.

The experiment of raising bronze
grass in this county is meeting with
very good success indeed. For several
years farmers have been trying
it, a little cautious at first, perhaps
but they wanted to give the feed a
show The experiment. station at
Brookings endorsed it very highly
as being splendid grass for this
country and the good words that the
officials there have said about it are
being verified right along. J. G..
Clearwater, who bought the Millard
farm three miles northwest Of town,
has just cleared up a neat sum of
money from season of culture Of the
bronze grass. a year ago last spring
Mr.. Millard sowed the seed and in
the fall he pastured large number
of cattle on it. When Mr.. Clearwater
took possession of the farm he did
not have SO many cattle and he let it
go to seed this spring and SUNNI er.
There was 25 acres in the field and
he cut it about three weeks ago. He
has just finished threshing it and
it yielded much heavier than he
ever imagined it would. At the
present prices of the seed Mr.. Clear
water stated that the crop from the
25 acres would amount to 5000, max
ing an average Of S36 per acre. AS
a food for cattle the bronze grass is
onsid cred to be much superior te
| the wild grasses, and it is being
more generally raised in this
county.

MITCHELL WILL HAVE A
,CORN PALACE THIS YEAR
Sufficient Money Has Been Subscribed by the Business Mer
to Provide Attractions That Will be Superior
to Anything in Past Years.

o. ID p. Il = =
1t is now settled fact that
Mitchell will have corn palace this
fall. A meeting was held in the
Mitchell Cub rooms Saturday even
ing at which the financial COM
mittee made a report that $4,000 in
cash had been subscribed by the
business men of the city to provide
for the expense of the affair. The
committee, which is composed of
Emil Becker, S. H. Scallin, Dr.. R.
r. Dundass, A. B. Hager, and L.
J. Spangler. have worked to good
effect in securing the money and to
thus make the corn palace possible.
After the report Of the committee
it was unanimously decided to have
the corn palace, and the gentlemen
set about the proposition to secure
the assistance Of individuals to
manage the affair. 1t is a difficult
thing to do to secure five or six
competent men to handle an .un-
dertaking of the proportions Of a
corn palace when they have so many
private interests to look after.
However, after some solicitation a
committee of five was finally decided
upon and they agreed to accept the
burden that had been imposed them.
The committee and their severa
duties are as follows:
L. Q. Gale, president and attrac.
tions. y
H. R. Kibbee, secretary ano
treasurer.
DR.. R. F. Dundass, advertising.
S. H. Scallin, building and dec
orations.
j. K. Smith, agricultural display
and exhibits.
The committee selected, it j!
thoroughly believed, is one that viii
work in good shape for the success
of the corn palace, and will leave nj
stone unturned to bring it out
! financial success and something tina
will be a credit to Mitchell. Mr.. Gall
has been at the head Of the othe
three corn palaces and he takes grea
pride in making the affair a success
The other gentlemen on the com
mittee will keep up their end Of tn,
fwork without any doubt and vii
give their best effort TO the project
Mr.. Gale left Monday morning 70

has been no previous correspondent
on the subject, and he does no

likely that some splendid musica
organization will be secured.

Weeds in Grass Lands,

It would astonish many farmers to
make an investigation Of the number
of weed plants that are to be found
in grass lands, and even in meadows
that are supposed to be in a high
state Of cultivation. They are more
conspicuous in the pastures. because
our most common weeds will grow
on land where the cultivated grass
makes but little growth. The daisy.
the rag weed, minis and others are
often to be found by the hundred on
a single square foot in the pasture,
while in spots the thistle, milkweed
and orange hawkweed have taken al
most complete possession. But there
are many in the rich MANFRED now
ing, where the grasses grow so much
faster and ranker as to hide them until
the hay is taken off: Too close pas
turing is in some cases responsible
for these weeds. Some of these larger
p%erennials must be dug out, root and
all. before they can make seed, OF cut
down SO often that they will perish
because Of a lack Of leaf growth. In
some cases blowing, manuring and re-
seeding with clean seed seems to be
the only remedy, and it is not always
easy to get grass seed free from the
seeds OF weeds, and a course Of three
years in cultivation, killing every
weed in the field or around it's borders.
may be the only way to reduce their
number.

Gathering sowed Corn Fodder.

Gathering SOwed Corn Fodder.
Sowed corn intended to be cut and
fed dry should be cut early in the
morning some warm day and allowed
to remain until the next afternoon
before being bound or punched. Great
care should be exercised in putting it
up, so as to shed rain, as even with
favorable weather it will require two
weeks time to cure sufficiently for
storing in the barn. Even then it is
best to store it only two o three bun
dies deep, as they are liable to mold
during the inevitable sweating pro-
cess. Scattering thinly owe a large
surface is preferable to stocking, I'M
less stacks be made long and not over
six feet in width. Even then the stalks
in the centre are liable to become DAM
aged unless we'll cured when hauled.
It is the safest way to cure in the
field; no matter if the outside OF the
bundles or punches are weatherbeaten,
stock will eat them with considerable
relish.-L. D. Shook, in Orange Judd

Feeding Lambs.

The experiments made in recent
years in feeding lambs have gradually
demonstrated that there is consider.
able money in the work provided one

gain in weight of all live stock is
when they are young, and subsequent
~ every pound Of food given to them
more than yields an equivalent in bone
and flesh. After the first year the
gain is much slower, and the profits are
smaller. 1t pays consequently to raise
lambs for market, and sell them when
they have ceased to make gains which
pay. In experiments made with lambs
at the Wyoming Experiment Station

could be made in raising lambs for

on alfalfa and the hay made from it

answer the purpose, and all of them

plump lambs were found to be the
