The Water Par.

Go out to the hen house and look
at the pan you have been giving the
fowls their water in, and see how full
of straw and other litter it is. Then
take an old cheese box, split half way
around the side, put the dish of water
on top of that, and note the difference
there will be in cleanliness. The wa
ter pan ought never to be placed so
that the hens can throw stuff over the
edge into It.

The ready-to-wear shapes of the new

blue and green braid, with rosettes OF
the same around the brim, inclosing q
blue braid flower. At the left front
three long green leaves give the lift

quill-shaped leaves are much employed
upon these stiff hats, especially If real
flowers are used. With the genuine
quilts many novel effects are remarked.

A CHEAP HAY BARN.
Plans for the Construction of a Suit
able Building for Shelter
ing the Crop.

The whole country is very much in.
terested in hay farming now that
prices are so high. Saving the crop
constitutes about half the work. 1t is
well-nigh impossible to do the thing
right without good hay shed or barn.
The accompanying sketch, says Farm
and Home. gives an idea of the frame
work of cheap shed or barn in which
to store hay.
1t will be necessary to get some
nice sized poles nine feet long, a, and
some larger for b, II feet. These
are all put in the ground two feet deep,
the number depending on length OF
shed desired Poles Of the height given
are suitable for a shed 80 feet wide.

The Successful Feeder

It is not necessarily the man who
gets the animal to eat the largest
quantity of food who will get the larg-
est gains, but it is the man whose whole
interest is centered in the animals,
who watches everything in connection
with them, and who Is willing to sacr1-
fee his own comfort and convenience
to that Of the animals under his charge.

srn Good for the Skin

Don't think of the complexion only
and fear tan and freckies; they can be
removed. The sun is one Of the most
efficient of all surgical methods in the
treatment of morbid growths, as warts,
moles and all parasitical skin diseases.
Don't be afraid of sunshine. Curative
powers are in the chemical rays of the
sun, and they rejuvenate.

LEASING OIL LANDS.

The idea that crude Oil or Pc
]troleum exists in this vicinity has
been harbored for some years, it
|seems, by such concerns as the
Standard Oil company and others.
This corporation has had It's
agents out quietly working with
Hand owners round about Pierre
| for months past, and has sue
ceeded in securing long term, and
in some cases, perpetual leases on
land. The object of the Standard,
of course. is to secure control OF
the land and when the oil is found
to have that much territory tied
up and become nonproducIng,
which, as a natural sequence, will
limit the production and hold up
the prices. A correspondent IN
writing from Pierre to the Min
neapolis Journal, brings out an
interesting phase of the situation,
which may eventually bother the
Standard Oil company in binding
the landowners to the leases they
have executed. The correspond
ent says:
The oil talk in this section of
the state is bringing prospectors
here from other oil fields of the
country, and hundreds of leases
are being written on tracts on
both sides of the river. The gen
eral opinion Of those who have
looked the field over is that by
proper development the oil field
can be tapped in this vicinity.
The leases are in different forms
to conform to the views of the
principals, but one form which
lis being used provides for a per-
petual lease SO long as the lease
payments are kept up.
How many are signing this form
is not known, but if they are
caught, there is a question as to
the validity of such leases under
a provision of the South Dakota
statutes which reads as follows:
"No lease or grant of agrlcul-
tural land for a longer period than
ten yea1s, in which shall be re-
served any rent or service of any
kind, shall be valid. No lease or
grant of any town or city lot for
a longer period than twenty years
in which shall be reserved any
rent or service of any kind, shall
he valid. 7"

LOOK OUT FOR THE CARS.

LOOK OUT FC)k I1E CARo.
The coming building of the
Northwestern road from Pierre to
Rapid City is looked upon ask
ance by Omaha and Sioux City,
while up at St. Paul and Mime
apolis the move is regarded with
entire favor. Years ago, before
a railroad had entered the Hills,
and when wagon trains of freight
lined the old Deadwood trail from
Pierre, the Twin Cities in Mime
sofa sold practically all the goods
delivered in the Black Hills.
With the coming of the railroads
from Nebraska this trade that
went to St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis was diverted to Omaha and
Sioux City, mostly. These two
cities have waxed and grown fat
on the business they have had
from the Hills, where the people
are rich and populous. The pen
dulum of trade, however, by 1907,
will have again swung back to
the Twin Cities, and the traffic
will pass through Pierre, Who
knows, that with the develop
ment of the country west and the
consequent upbuilding of this.
city, which will surely come with
the extension Of the Northwest
ern, that Pierre may get a good
big slice of the trade of the Hillsy
Pierre, with the advantage of
being on one of the big waterways
Of the country, where all the best
cities are built, will be in posi-
ton in time to command larger
share Of the business of the Black
Hills and beyond. Not the, least
Of the other advantages this city
will have, other than those re-
ferred to, is the fact that there is
plenty Of natural gas here, which
can be used for manufacturing
and power purposes.
The outlook for Pierre was
never better. 1t also means much
for the Black Hills and the entire
state, as the developn ent of the
country west by railroad building
will Jesuit in advantages to every
town east Of the river.
There is no shade Of gloom
whatever in the present situation,
and everybody should now mind
the sign, Look Out for the
Cars.

such shade IS not for her, and is suf-

fashionable craze.
While it is impossible to lay down
