w A NOTES.

Warden Parmley, of the Sioux Falls
state penitentiary has received from the
attorney general of the United States
an order directing him to turn over to
United States Marshal Seth Bullock the
thirty-four federal prisoners now in
the ~penitentiary for transfer to the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas.
These men have been confined i'll the
penitentiary in that city at the expense
of the government which paid the state
90 cents each a day for their care. For
some little time the federal prisoners
have been employed in the shirt factory
which is in operation at the peniten-
tiary, and the state has been making a
profit from their labors. Their removal
will leave the institution shorthanded.
The transfer of the federal prisoners 10
Leavenworth is in accordance with a
decision reached some time ago, when
it was decided to confne all federal
prisoners at Leavenworth.
The Dakota Wesleyan university
authorities of Mitchell, are working
hard to raise the $4,000 necessary to
secure the $4,000 cash donation
promised by Mr.. Carnegie last May,
whenever the $75, 600 is secured, and at
this date about $2l 900 of the amount
has been received in cash or good rotes
The latest addition was secured by
Prof. G. V. Gillard on a trip to Center
vile. A. b. Mcfarland, of that town,
gave $500 to the endowment fund the
same to establish the first of a series OF
memorial alcoves in the library. The
fund is to be perpetually invested and
known as "The Clara Mcfarland
Endowment" the income each year to
be spe mt in adding books to the college

: Albert Harris, a fullblooded Indian,
committed suicide by shooting himself
with a rife at Wakpola Friday. Only
one other case is on record of a full
blooded Indian committing suicide on
that reservation in re cent times. Harris
had been reprimanded by an official for
some offense, and had threatened him.
A policeman was sent to arrest him, but
was unable to do so. While reinforce
ments were coming Harris remarked to
his aunt that he was going away, and
that she would probably cry, but not to
take it to heart too much. He should

afterward dead, with the rifle by his

FALL PIGS.
No Large Percentage Of Loss n Wen
Cared For.

No Large Percentage Of Loss n Wen
Cared For.
1t seems as though the Importance OF
the crop Of fall pigs is being appreciate.
ed more and more each year. There
was a time when 1t was customary to
let the pigs shift for themselves to a
very large extent. compel them to wal.
low In the mud for their feed, sleep In
damp nests, get diseased and die. Then
It was not considered desirable TO un.
dertake to raise any pigs In the fall.
But we have learned to take a more
rational view Of the matter and now
give the small pigs a better chance for
life and advancement, and we are get.
ting excellent results. III the fall pigs
are well cared for, there should not be
any larger percentage Of loss than with
the spring filters, says a contributor to
Orange Judd Farmer.
In the first place, l will say that the
nest In which the pigs are narrowed
should not only be warm, but dry and
free from drafts of air on damp, windy
nights.
Little Pigs Catch Cold.
Little pigs often catch cold when
young and a cough follows them a
long time. IL 1t does not carry them off.
In the second place, there should be
ample opportunity for exercise, and II
there are grass and other green stuff
which they relish for them to get to.
all the better. By the time they are
three weeks old they can be taught to
eat. Fix a shallow trough where they
can get 1t when the mother Is away
or In an adjoining pen, and put In It
some scalded middlings mixed with
sweet milk and sweetened with mo-
lasses. They will soon learn to return
to the trough at regular intervals for
their feed.
How to Feed Them.
Give only about as much feed at a
time as they will eat up readily, and
II there is any left let the mother clean
the trough. Feed only In a clean
trough. After a little coarser feeds
may be used with the middlings and
whole corn be allowed as part Of the
ration. Keep up the feeding regularly.
at least twice per day, and by weaving
time. eight weeks Of age, they ought
to weigh from fifty to sixty pounds
each and be weaned without any check
In the growth, as they have learned to
depend on the feed more than on the
mother.

Heavy Horses.

Heavy horses are more profitable
each year In spite of the gasoline en-
CINE and the more common use of
steam. Well bred heavy horses. serv-
iceably scund and well broken, sell
readily for from $50 to 500. Farmers
hesitate to buy light horses for farm
use, and after one has had experience
with a good heavy team he will
60 back to light horses for farm work,
no matter how much heavy stock costs.
Horses weighing 1900 to 1000 pounds
arc Of inestimable value on any farm.
Here Is a suggestion for farmers who
can raise a few colts each year: Raise
none but the best. See that they are
heavy horses of the popular breed In
your OWL community. In many places
Percherons are favorites, while In a
few sections Shires and Clydes are
wanted. In many places Belgians and
Sufrolks are becoming popular. These
latter are compact. very heavy and are
giving q good account Of themselves
wherever introduced. = Orange Judd

FARM DRAINAGE.
Use Of Tile Popular Among Corn Belt
Farmers.

Farmers.
Operations Of farmers In tile drain
Ing In the eastern Illinois counties has
resulted In the formation of concerns
that undertake to do the work by con-
tract, and some of these drain men
have contracts on hand that will keep
them at work until the ground is
frozen.
These contractors dig the drain ditch,
lay the drain tile and fill up the ditch
at a price that runs near 30 cents a
rod. This price Is regulated by the
depth of the ditch. The schedule Is
about l cent an lnch-that is, if the
ditch Is thirty inches deep, 1t costs 80
cents to dig, lay and refill a rod of it.
1t is known that this year the farm
ers are using much larger sizes than
In former years. A great deal Of the
eight inch tile is being laid and In some
instances much larger, for smaller
drains are being run into b larger.
On one farm of 500 acres In Iroquois
county the owner is laying n mile of
thing this year. In another instance a
man who has just purchased a large
farm is draining all that Is required to
be drained. In other words, the farm
ers are planning to utilize for cultiva-
ton every foot Of land contained In
the farm.
The work of laying the drain tile is
done expeditiously. One man with a
spade takes off the soft soil, another
takes out a certain depth of clay, and
the third digs to the required depth.
The fourth man lays the tile, and 9TH
ers come along and I'll in the ditch
