Choice Cattle Pay.
livestock World. |

The spread in beef cattle prices is
now the widest of the year and the
chances are that it will get still wider
before the year is out. The moral of
this is that 1T pays to make cattle
good. 1t pays to make them better
than good they should be choice.
Men have marketed cattle here this
week at $3.50, which cost them as
feeders $3.50, others have marketed
cattle at $3.50 which cost them $3.50.
Which one made the most money? A
big percentage of the so-called fat
cattle coming to market are only good
feeders. In short. they are ait just that
stage where they would begin to make
profit for their owners. Experienced
feeders say that more money is made
in finishing cattle than in getting them
mp to the half fat period. There is
no question but what the man who is
making the money now is he who Is
making his cattle prime.

TEST THE BANKING LAWS.
officer Of Institution at Egan on Trial
eor MAKING False Reports.

sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. PAS the
result of a case which has just been
temporarily disposed of by Judge Jones
of this city, while holding a term OF
state circuit court for Moody county,
the state banking law may be declar-
ed unconstitutional.
The constitutionality OF the state
banking law was questioned when the
case of George L. Struble, an officer
of a bank at Egan which closed Its
doors some months ago, was called for
trial. Struble is charged with making
false reports to the state bank exam
liner while an officer of an lncorporat-
ed bank. The defendants attorney
attacked the constitutionality Of the
state banking law, and also the suf-
aciency of the information against
Struble.
The constitutional1ty of the state
banking laws has not yet been passed
upon by Judge Jones, but he decided
that the information against Struble
was defective, and continued the case
against Str,1ble to the next term OF
court. The state will, in the mean
time be permitted to file a ne" 1nfor-
nation.
There is no doubt that when the
case is again called for trial the con-
stit,,tionality of the state banking law
will once more be raised, and IN the
onin,on of a number Of attorneys Ia
rn,,iar with the law, it is likely to be
held UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Regarding the opening of this
month Mr.. Loyeland says;
"Thc first ten days of April were
cold, with much high wind and de.
ticicncy in precipitation The def.
cheney in temperature averaged about
four degrees day in the eastern
counties and but about two degrees
in western The precipitation varied
from less than one-tcnth of an inch
in the western counties to little
more than one inch in the eastern
counties. Substantial progress was
made in sowing spring wheat and
oats. In western counties where the
winter wheat is damaged the acreage
of spring wheat promises to be larger
than usual, although the soil Is yet
rather dry for seeding. The reports
at present Indicate that the acreage
sown to oats will be large. Winter
wheat has grown well in eastern cuun.
