Bonesteel News: Many of our ex-
changes still continue to insist that
1t is all off with the Rosebud bill. It
is our opinion that the worthy editors
who write such articles do not know
what they are talking about but
simply Jump at conclusions after read
ing something about Major McLaugh-
Inns failure to secure three-fourths of
the signers. While we don't claim to
be so closely in touch with the adj
ministration as to know exactly what
will happen to the Rosebud bill we
have had enough information from
reliable sources to lead us to believe
the bill will pass the next session of
congress even if the Indians don't
sign. The most of this talk about the
Rosebud bill being lost is simply
theory and. while these little pessi-
mistic editorial squibs do not effect
the bill they. may hurt our town more
OF less. AS long as you are just guess
ing why not guess the reservation
will open next spring and stand some
show Of guessing right?

the corn palaces OF Mitchell has been
engaged to do the same work for the
st. Louis building. and he could
handle the job to great avantage and
a saving of expense if the building

1t is doubtful if fortune ever tum-

court recently awarded to 65-year-old
Hannah Callaghan. of Cork, as her
share in the estate of her. cousin, John
Sullivan, who died in Seattle, Wash.
From the accompanying picture of
Hannah Callaghan you can form a
pretty accurate idea of what sort of
a person she is. Wrinkled, haggard,
with narrow, pointed nose, thin lips,
bitter tongue and an aggressive dis
position, the woman who has just in
herited 100000 earned her living I'M
til few days ago as ragpicker. For
years she has made her home in a
squal;d little room in a narrow
alley appropriately named Crone's
lane, in Cork's worst slum. She
began life as a crochet worker,
and once earned as much as S.
a week. Then she got TO be a scrub
woman and made less, and of late
years she has collected bones, sold
fruit and generally lived from hand to
mouth. She has been somewhat par
tial to gin. When the news reached
Hannah Callaghan the other day that
she had inherited half of John Sulli-
vans fortune-Edward Corcoran, a
poor Dublin artisan got the other half
the old woman was so bewildered
that she could hardly realize what it
meant to her. She heard that her
cousin had died intestate, but had
thought so little of her own chances
of getting a share of his estate that
when American lawyers came to her
several months ago and offered to
push her claim she made no trouble
over signing an agreement that they
should take half of any sum they
succeeded in getting awarded to her.
This does not mean, however, that
the old woman was feeced by her
American attorneys. For six months
they have worked like beavers to
get her inheritance, and the endless
trouble they took and the ingenuity
they manifested certainly entitle

A great development has taken
place in growing rice in the last three
years. This has been brought about
by the discovery that enough water to
flood given area could be pumped by
steam cheaper than the same area
could be cultivated. There is a large
amount of rich and level land lying
along the bayous and small lakes OF
the southern coastland of Louisiana
that is now being flooded by this
method, and is producing from TWEEN
ty-five to fifty bushels of rice to the
acre. The total production has about
doubled every year for the past three
years. 1t is the only grain on which
there is tariff, and at the present
rate of increase in the production it
will not need tariff long. as the
home supply will exceed the demand.

Land that will lie idle during the
winter should be plowed up rough
and deep so that frost will cause it
to pulverize when the time comes to
prepare it for planting. The fall and
early winter is favorable season for
this work for several reasons. There
is more time for it, it being a slack
time in farm work. On many farms
there is large amount of this work
to be done, and to do it now or
month later saves lot of work when
the rushing spring time comes. Too
many farmers can't plant their crops
at the best time and in the best mar
ner, because they are not ready, have
not their land prepared. FAN plowed
land can be made ready at once. Frost
has been called the poor mans ma
nure, and good freeze is equal to
quite a good coating of real manure

soils by causing them to fall to fire

PROTEIN In CORN.
cxnerameuts Establish Results quite
at Variance with the General
Iy Accepted Idea.

Corn has always been regarded az
poorly-balanced ration except for fat
tening purposes. The relative proper
ton of protein to the carbonaceous
substances is too small. Only few
years ago it was asserted on appar-
emily good authority that the rela-
tire proportion of protein to the car
bonaceous substances found in corn
was very uniform, and that the av-
erage per cent. of protein found in
the grain was but little over 10.5 per
cent. In 1897 the Kansas experiment
station took up the matter of corn
investigation, and they found that the
per cent. of protein found in several
varieties of corn analysed to vary
from 9.75 to 17.12 per cent, a varia-
ton of 7.35 per cent. They found the
amount of protein to vary in grains
from the same ear from 1918 to 1880,
a variation of 2.75 per cent. Different
ears of the same variety were found
to vary as much as ga per cent.
These findings are quite different
from the common accepted belief
about corn. They show that simply
so much corn per day is no safe stand
ard for the feeder to go by, as one
day the animal may get a very much
larger amount of protein than il
given in the same amount of corn Of
some other variety. They also sug-
gest lines of improvement by careful
selection of seed. But one difficulty
comes up. and that il that we are not
all chemists, and can not select from
analysis of samples, but analysis Of
different parts of the grain as re-
ported from the same station shows
that the richness. Of the grain in pro-
tein depends upon the size Of the
germ. An average Of four varieties
showed the germs to contain nearly
% per cent Of protein, while the bal
ance of the grain contained only
about 10 per cent This gives basis
by which any farmer can intelligently
Judge as to whether his corn contains
a good per cent. Of protein. If the
grains contain large germs they are
likely to be richer in protein than If
they are relatively small. These fig
ures suggest line Of improvement
that II carefully followed would like
ly result in great improvement in the
feeding value of the corn crop. BY

corn can be grown In few years

The experiment stations in the dif.
ferent states are doing great work
for the American farmers. They
have already repaid their cost many
times over, and their services have
only begun. They are doing for the
farmers things which need to be
done, but which the farmers are una
BILE to do. The average farmer has
neither the time, the money, the pa
thence, nor the ability to conduct
original researches. But it Is neces-
sary that such researches he made
and for this purpose the stations
were established. Consequently they
deserve the support and the cooper
alton of every farmer. There are
often many ways in which the farm
ers could be of service to their sta
ton, and through it to the profession
as a whole. Every such opportunity
should be improved. The farmers
should also see that their state legis-
latures aid the stations to the extent
of their ability. Money thus spent Ia
not wasted, but is invested where it
will give large returns. The farmers
should also profit by the labors OF
the station to a much greater extent
than they do now. Every farmer
should secure the bulletins of his
station, and also such publications OF
the United States department of agri-
culture as will be useful to him, and
study and preserve them. BY so do
ing he will soon have library OF the
best agricultural thought at almost
no cost. He should also feel free to
write to the station staff for advice
and assistance whenever he desires
it. They are usually glad to be OF
service to the farmers, and to know
that their work is being appreciated
and is doing good. Get in touch with
your station and with the members
of its staff. Derive all the benefit you
can from them and in turn be ready
to help in any way you CAM. \
