The Home Ruler.

A short time ago party of young
men, who in their boyhood days had
been chums, met by chance. They had
all got married since they last met,
and the conversation drifted to their
wives, and, incidentally, as to which
was boss" of the house. One of the
party was so vehement as to his "rGl-
ing the roost" that the others thought
hey would investigate. A few days
afterwards one of them wclt to his
house on pretense of visiting him. His
wife answered the bell, and she was
asked:
is the boss in?"
II am boss here" she replied. 'Tf
you mean George, he is in the kitchen
nursing the baby"

I took a friend to Paris once for

]. F. Brodie, manager of the Con-
s%olidated Mines west of the river says
that his company will not put in a
briquetting plant until some cheaper
process Of %briquetting the Ignite has
been discovered. Out in Wyoming
there is a substance found. which,
when mixed with Ignite, makes a
splendid binder, but the cost of manu-
featuring it and shipping it here and
the additional cost Of briquetting the
coal would make it too expensive, for
the coal fields both east and west
could supply fuel cheaper than the
briquettes would be. Mr.. Brodie says
that his company shipped ten tons OF
coal to Germany and that a first class
article had been manufactured from
it. though the coal holds insufficient
tar to furnish its own binder. The
North Dakota Ignite holds something
like forty per cent of moisture in the
raw state, but when subjected to q
high gravity pressure, the quality OF
the coal becomes much better than the
bituminous Of Ohio.

EXPERIMENT WITH ALFALFA.
Cattiemen on the South Dakota
Ranges will Try Raising Alfalfa.

Cattiemen on the South Dakota
Ranges will Try Raising Alfalfa.
Cattlemen on the great ranges be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Black Hills, in western South Dakota,
are paying more attention than here
tofore to the important question of
hay for winter feed.
This is a matter which vitality affects
that entire region, comprising about
5000, 900 acres. Those who have in
vestigated the matter have come to
the conclusion that the final solution
of the problem is, to a great extent,
in the growing of alfalfa-the king of
forage plants.
Some of the cattlemen along the
water course, especially those whose
ranches are on White river, have ex-
perimented with the growing of al
falfa, and these experiments have
proven that the great ranges of the
state are well adapted to it. The ex-
periments carried or by the cattlemen
show that land which produces one
ton of wild hay per acre will readily
produce two or three tons of alfalfa
each season.
The South Dakota cattlemen have
also discovered that when they ac-
company their shipments of cattle to
eastern markets that cattle raised in
Colorado and other western states
where corn is scarce, and which are
fattened on alfalfa hay alone, or a
mixture of alfalfa and beet pulp, sell
as readily as corn fed animals and
command as good prices.
The result will be that the cattle
men of the great ranges of western
South Dakota will quite generally en-
gagged in the growing of alfalfa and
thus have an abundance of feed for
their herds.
During the past year several thous-
and homesteaders have settled west
OF the Missouri river in the region
heretofore occupied exclusively by
the cattlemen and their herds. If
farming proves a success, others will
follow them, and the area over when
the herds of the cattlemen now Craze
will be greatly curtailed.
But with vast alfalfa fields, the cat
tleraisers will not need so much ter
ritory for their herds to roam over
and instead of the stockmen ultimate
ly being driven out of business by the
encroaching hOmesteaders, as has
been predicted would be the case, al
falfa may prove to be their salvation
by enabling them to care for their
herds on smaller areas of land.
