BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authorities.
They have dispelled the silly notion that
one kind of food is needed for brain, an
other for muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only nourish
a particular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutrinent is des-
troyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You
must prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular doses
of Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A few
doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood, and
makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You
can get this reliable remedy at all drug
gists Price Csc and 75c.

red card a girl takes her place, the
endless belt running in the trough
before her. Three other girls have
meanwhile taken their places at the
upper end of the trough.
When the work begins the end
girls feed the belt with newly
franked envelopes which, one after
the other, in close procession, hasten
to the first of the girls sitting un-
der the red cards. From an opening
i'm the bottom of the bin she rapidly
takes out the little envelopes and
inserts one in each of the rapidly
arriving large ones. The moving
belt carries the open envelopes on
and on past the other 4 filters, ;"
each of whom places little pack
age from her bin into the big one.
An eagle-eyed inspector watches
the belt and makes sure that the
prescribed number is placed in each.
Seventeen girls at this work filled
5000 packages per hour.
SEWING THEM WITH WIRE.
Nine big sewing machines grouped
at the ends of the belts receive the
large packages after they have
passed the hands of Is girls who
fold down the flaps. The ''stitcher"
teach machine places the envelopes
in rapid succession into a pair of
steel jaws which bite 8 wire stitches
into the flaps, thus sealing them Sc
curely. Until this year the outer
envelopes of these free seed pack
ages we're gummed, in consequence
of which many stuck together and
gave the mail clerks no end of an
noyance.
Leaving the stitchers, the en-
velopes are carried upon another
moving belt, which dumps them,
one by one, into baskets. They are
taken up by men, who count them
carefully and turn them over to
others, who distribute them among
large, yawning mail sacks arranged
upon a rack. Each mail sack is
then sealed and ''routed' with a
metal tag which designates the dis
trict in which it is to be opened for
distribution by the mail clerks. The
sealed mail bags are then placed
upon a chute which dumps them up
on 2-horse mail wagon. One con-
CHEESEMAN'S quota of seed fills more
than half of this big vehicle.
Joseph G. Brown, who has charge
of the preparation of Uncle Sans
prize packages, is the inventor of
the wonderful filing machines
which effect a labor saving Of 80
per cent as suggested.
Constituents who apply to their
congressman for the packages will
be disappointed if they make re-
quests for particular kinds of Seeds
Uncle Sam endeavors to supply his
legislators with the best staple seeds
which the market affords and to

This stock association contains 636

the receipts for fees, dues, ETC., were
$2O,546, and the disbursements for
running expenses and stock i1spec-
ton and prosecutions $17,337. leaving
a balance in the treasury of over

There were 100, 900 more cattle ship
ped from that section last year than
the preceding year. The total number
of range cattle inspected was 970. $50,
OF which 233,269 were from the South
Dakota ranges, against $4,000, the
total number in 1901, and 126, 900 from
the South Dakota ranges. The total
number of cattle recovered last year

years the sum of s29,977 has been

A suggestion made by the executive

membership be created, consisting Of
commission houses and mortgage hold

Another question taken up was that
certain members are not paying

Dublin, April 20.-The Irish Nation.
al convention concluded last evening.
IN two days it got through a large
amount Of controversial work and
emerged, TO quote T. P. O'Connor,
"scathless and honored from G test the
whole world was watching. 1t was not
only shaping the dsstinies Of Ireland,
but II held in Ms hand the fate of the

words: May the God of our fathers
once again visit this land with the
peace and plenty that are due her."
T. p. O'Connor, summing up the
proceedings, wrote the following:
This was the day for agreeing on
the amendments to the land bill,
which ere considered essential. Most
Of these were proposed by William
O'Brien. They covered several i'm
portant questions, including demands
for more liberal treatment of the con.
gested districts and of the laborers.
Tho proceedings were
Extremely Harmonious.
There was an animated but good.
humorsd discussion in the retention
of an eighth as a rent charge proposed
by Mr.. Davitt and myself, the former
representing views in favor Of the
naturalization Of the land, while I
put forward those Of peasant pro-
prietary. Ultimately the resolution
was adopted condemning the eighth,
but retaining q technical rent charge"
One Of the most important amend.
msnts was that proposed by Michael
Davitt, that the principle Of the Ameri,
~ homestead law be added to tho
land bill to Safeguard the peasants
from the results OF improvident Dor
rowing and the operation of land
grabbers and land obbers."

AND CROPS.
South Dakota Station Issues Its First
Bulletin,

ouIICkiUs
The season is backward and farming
operations were retarded by unfavor-
able conditions for early work.
Because of general and generous
rain and snow in the second decade
that, together with alternate freezing
and thawing weather, kept the soil
in the southern part of the state too
wet to work, and the absence of suffi-
cient warmth elsewhere to free the
fields Of frost, no seeding and but lit
tie preparatory field work was done in
March. Fall sOwn rye generally came
through the inter in good condition,
and there was no report of any injury
to fruit trees or berry bushes by cold
weather.
During the past two weeks field op-
erations were somewhat retarded by
fairly general rain or snow the first
week, and to some extent by subse-
quent light to moderate rains, that
kept considerable low and fiat land
too wet to work, more especially in
northern districts. Considerable wind
during the past week has, however,
been favorable for drying these lands.
Wheat sowing is now well advanced
toward completion in the extreme
southeastern counties, and is in prog
ress on the high land in the most
northern counties.
A considerable acreage of oats, bay-
ley and speltz has been sown in the
southeastern and some Black Hills
counties.
Considerable blowing has been done
and in some southeastern and Black
Hills counties preparation Of ground
for corn is in progress.
Fall-sown rye is generally reported
in thrifty condition and showing very
good stand.
Grass has started well, but has
made slow growth, except in the eX-
IRENE southeastern counties.
With considerable warmth, the out
look for prompt termination of spring
sown small grains is very flattering,
as the soil is generally amply moist
for this purpose. In the extreme soutsa
eastern counties and also some Black
wheat is now nicely sprouting.

travelling auditor for the Van Dusen
Elevator company. He makes these
estimates: The III acreage will be
fully as great as that Of last year, with
prospects of a slight increase, while
fax will exceed that of last season at
least Is per cent; the wheat acreage
will be fully 5 per cent greater, and
oats will be correspondingly increased.
The barley acreage will be at least 10
per cent greater. Seeding is now in
progress, but the season is at least ten
days later than usual; the soil Is in
good condition except where too wet
for working. Farm help is In demand
at good prices.
