various places in Butte county and an
especially good mine, so-called. just
across the line into Butte county, and
as nearly due west of Aberdeen as can
be. This mine is on a quarter section
owned by sold man" Anderson.
There are three distinct veins exposed
in the cut, in all, three feet in depth.
The quality is said to be almost the
same as the coal mined at Aladdin, in
Wyoming.
These coal veins lie below a hill Of
fine sand, almost white. Below the
sand there is a q foot stratum Of
limated clay, then one foot of coal,
then six inches of clay, n foot of coal,
one foot of black clay, IA inches of coal
and then clay. These veins are eX-
posed in other places in the same
vicinity and, it is possible, may be
part of a nearly continuous bed of
coal lying miles to the west. l don't
believe a hundredth part of the lig-
mite coal out in that country has yet
been scratched.
Where is the best land? Well, TAX
ing it up q side and down the other.
l should say that Butte county, out
side of the reservations, probably has
somewhat the best of it. There is a
little patch of ground out there that
they call the "Big Meadow. 1t can
be easily located on the map as it lies
to the north and west of a creek OF
the same name. 1t is a sort of a
valley and it is as large, say, as Camp
bell county. Prettier looking country
cannot be found. The Belle Fourche
valley is, of course, worthy of special
mention and I shall devote at least
one entire article to it.. On the Chey-
enne reservation there is a consider
able stretch of country which may be
located on a state map by the name
OF FOX Ridges. As matter of fact
there are no hills there but, rather, a
beautiful plateau. l did not see this
country but every n we met out in
that vicinity declared it somewhat
the best county west of the Missouri.
They told me that small fruits grow
wild there as they do nowhere else in
the state and that oak, elm, ash and
various other trees are,fOund nlanti.

is west of Gettysburg. Going west

after getting in the vicinity of the
Grindstone buttes but / am not very
favorably impressed with the soil,
generally speaking, between those
Duties and the river. It seems to be.
come better as you get back from the
river and the reason is that there is
more sand in the soil farther west
Any one driving, say, twelve miles
west from Pierre would get the worst
possible idea of what lays beyond. OF
course there is poor land out in that
country but the poorest there is goo6

there are not more sheep for they vii

AS to Corn Picking

A recent issue Of the Northwestern
AgriculturaliSt contains the following
timely advice:
Don't attempt to husk more than
one row at a time and let that be the
second beyond the wagon, which will
keep the team in the husked stalks.
Work the field in Glands rather than
on n side, which will necessitatc
changing throw boards at each end
also doing l%eft-handed work on one
side. Learn to husk an ear of corn
With just two motions of the
hands. Don't watch tie corn after if
leaves your hand on its journey to the
box but keep your eyes on the I'M
husked ears. Use the best huskinp
gloves obtalnable regardless of price,
lIey VIII save the hands from getting
sore and aid the mel in cribbinp that
lO0 bushels per day.
IL is a great economy of time IA
nave each husker supplied with an
outnt, because men cannot visit and
snuck at the same time on account
Oh the noisy rustling of the stalks,
rms is no joke. We have been there.
ruC the best man and team in the
neld as a starter and let them lead Nv
crew. Don't make the blunder Of
reversing the order on the first da,
because a Encouragement Of THING,
may lead to trouble.n

conference from butt to tip to MAKE
allowance for the characteristics of the

Boone County White should carry us

JUDGING CORN

EXPLANATION OF POINTS IN
JUDGING CORN
l. Trueness of Type to Breed
characteristics ten points,. The ten
ears in the sample should possess
similar or like characteristics and
should be true to the variety which
they represent.
2. Shape Of Ear ten points,. The
shape of the ear should conform to
the variety type. Ear should be
full and strong in central portion, and
not taper too rapidly toward the tip,
indicating strong constitution and
good yield.
3. Purity of Ear.-(a) Grain five
points,. Color of grain should be true
to variety and free from mixture.
For one or two mixed kernels, a cut Of
one-fourth point: for four or more
mixed kernels, a cut of one-half point,
should be made. Differences in shade
Of color. as light or dark red, white or
cream color, must be scored according
to variety characteristics.
tb) Cob five points,. An ear with
white cob in yellow corr or red cob in
white corn, should be disqualified or
marked zero. This mixture reduces
the value Of The corn for seed pur-
poses, indicates lack of purity, and
tends toward a too wide variation in
time, maturity, size and shape of
kernels, etc.
8. Vitality or Seed Condition ten
points,. Corn should be in good
market condition, show good GOnstitu-
ton, being capable of producing
strong, vigorous growth and yield.
5. Tips five points,. The form of
tip should be regular: kernels near tin
should be of regular size and shape.
The proportion Of tip covered or filled
must be considered. Long pointed
tips as well as blunt, tlattened or
double tips, are Objectionable.
=. Butts tive points. The rows of
kernels should extend in regular order
over the butt, leaving a deep depres.
sion when the shank is removed.
Open and swelled butts, depressed and
fiat butts with flattened, glazed ker.
nels, are Objectionable and must he
cut according to the Judgment Of the
scorer.
I. Kernels-(a) Uniformity Of fer
points; (b) Shape of five points, The
Kernels should be uniform in shane
and size, making it possible to secure
uniformity in dropping with the
planter. and consequently a poof
stand. The kernels should also ~
not only uniform on the individn.
ear, but uniform with each ear in III,

Inc tip portion of the kernel is rio,
in protein and oil, and hence of hio,
feeding value. Kernels with a ]arp,
