Deaths.
AUGUST. BEHL.

August Behl, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Herman Behl, died at his home in
Synnes last Saturday morning. He
had been suffering for some time
with complication of diseases, in
cluding heart trouble, and his death
was expected at anv time.
Deceased was nineteen years OF
age, being the oldest of family OF
eight children, and one on whose
shoulders rested many of the re-
sponsibilities of the home. He had
always lived with his parents and
helped his father with the farm work,
having no desire to leave home and
see the world as many young mar
of his age is wont to do. Thus that
community looses an honest' in
dustrious and promising young man.

sPELTZ AS STOCK FOOD.
Experience Of Farmer Near Benson
with This New
Grain.

; / - ! Ef
From the Benson Monitor, we take
the following article relative to the
new cerial, speltz.
"Last year Mr.. O. o. Hatiedal
seeded ten acres to this grain and So
cured yield Of 500 bushels, or so
bushels per acre. Fe informs us
that it does much better on low
ground. yet it stands drough better
than other grain and for that reason
is becoming quite generally used in
the Dakotas. Very little is known of
this grain here, and the Monitor hav-.
ing become convinced that is more
valuable cereal for general use than
any now grown here, we will give
some of Mr.. HatiedaPs experience
with it. He sowed only small
amount the first year, but finding
that it suited his needs SO well he in.
creases his field to ten acres last year
and will plant more this spring. It
is heavy grain, resembling corn in its
qualities. and is good for all kinds of
stock. For horses it is rather heavy,
SO Mr.. Hatiedal feeds speltz is also
known in some sections as "emmer."
although new in the United States
speltz has been raised in Russia for
hundreds Of years The annual pro-
duction there now is about 16 million
bushels. In America it is used only
as stock food but in Russia it is
ground up for human food, special
machines being used for hulling it.
It is claimed that all kinds of stock
eat it greedily. Prof Shepard, of the
South Dakota experience station,
says Of speltz: cit is readily eaten
by all kinds of stock and has shown
itself to be especially adapted when
fed to milch COWS. 1t is better to mix
it, however, with bran and shorts as
it is pretty heavy feed when fed
alone. We think very well of it as a
feed for swine, and horses do we'll on
it, but I do not think it is equal to
oats in that case. It's most striking
value is found in the fact of its drouth
resistant qualities"
"Another recommendation comes
from Mr.. j. N. Cooley, of South OAK
ota. who says: 81 am very glad to
tell you anything I know about
speltz. First, it is a crop on which
farmers can rely, as it greatly out
yields any other grain. Second, it is
unequalIed as feed for any kind of
stock, as it's nutritious husk enclosing
two kernels of incompatible richness,
makes feed that is hard to equal for
stock, and especially for working
teams. Third, the straw is second to
none as a "go-between" hav and corn.
One acre of speltz will produce three
times the value of wheat, barley or
oats, and it is a surer crop. It does
not crinkle down, and the rust or
smut does not effect it. Farmers
here expect to SOW more speltz here
after and less of other grain. They
grind it and feed to stock. You can
not recommend it too highly"

sion, paid a salary by the state and
who shall give a bond for his good
conduct in office. This agent may
employ such persons as he requires,
but he shall pay them himself and be
responsible for them. In this way we
may be sure that only trustworthy
persons would handle the liquors from
the time they reach the state until
they reach the consumer.
Let the selling be done at stores
owned or rented by the state for the
purpose, with separate entrances, in
case two or more classes OF goods are
sold. Let there be strict prohibition
of loafng. gaming, ETC., with no ae-
commodations for the same. Let the
dram-selling and the distilled liquor
dispensing cease early in the evening,
but permit sales for necessary pur-
poses at all hours. Compel dispensers
to follow stringent regulations as to
whom they shall sell, and make them
responsible for serving persons known
TO be habitual drinkers. Provide a
method OF complaint and hearing
against any officer charged with lax
conduct.
Let liquor be sold under this plan
at fair profit TO the state, the pro-
eeeds to be divided among the towns
on some just basis. or used for some
specific purpose. We do not believe
in selling at cost. If the state has all
the care, risk and trouble, it should
have the profit. Those who buy and
drink liquor should be willing to pay
the state as much as they would pay
a private party tor the same, or
inferior goods. Then, too, such
injury as might come from the traffic
should properly be borne by those
who demand and patronize it, rather
than by the whole body Of taxpayers.
Prohibit all selling except as here
in described. With the state, an
interested party, it would be much
easier to restrict Illegal traffic. Well
kept and well-ordered dispensaries
would tend to drive out illegal eompe-
.ition themselves.
We have sketched our plan in the !
Driefest possible outline. 1t bears
close resemblance to the Battell plan, /
put there Is this radical difference,
hat we place the entire liquor traffic
lnder direct state control, while Mr..
3attell would permit a portion of it
Q be conducted by private parties,
With the probable result that drug
torres and hotels, with liquor annex,
would multiply so fast that the state
rattle would amount to little, or ut
Dest, be seriously interfered with.
We earnestly commend the system
.boye outlined to the members of the
assembly who are anxious to stop
short Of the legalized
aloon, with the element of personal
