The harvest in the agricultural dis
tricts around Custer has been unusually
heavy this season. The crops have all
been gathered and a large portion has
been threshed. The yield Of barley
especially has been very prolific, and all
small grain has done well. We deem it
worthy of mention in passing that the
oat crop which has always been consid-
cred the best crop TO raise i'm this dis
tIict does not yield rs bountifully as it
used to do. This is accounted for when
we come to consider that most Of our
ranchmen have continued to put In oats,
oats, on the same ground in many in
stances for fifteen and twenty years
without any change. There is no soil
in the world that can stand such treat
ment as that, and a rotation of crops he.
comes very essential if the soil is to o n
tinue to yield in its strength. When
the farmer has followed one kind of
crop with another until he has rung the
change on all the different grains that
are adapted TO this altitude, it is a good
idea to seed down a portion to timothy.
This always brings II good price in this
market and permits the ground to rest
aud recoup.

ing so many sick people we'll and weak
people strong by digesting what they eat,
by cleansing and sweetening the stom-
