MEASURING HAY IN THE STACK.

Stack ard Quality Of Hay.
The rules for measuring hay IN the
stack vary according 10 the iength OF
time the hay has been stacked. tho
kind and quality Of the hay. and also
according 20 the character Of the
stack. With alfalfa or prairie hay
which has been stacked FOR thirty
days, ~ Is usual 10 compute an eight
foot cube or 51z cubic feet as a ton
when the hay has been stacked FIVE
or six months. usually n foot cube
or 422 cubic feet fl calculated for a
ton. In old stacks which have stood
for a year or more a Z foot cube o.
s43 cubic feet Is allowed for a ton.
There are different methods OF
measuring stacks, depending upon It's
size. For a long stack or rick the
usual method Is 10 throw a line over
the stack, measuring the distance
over from the bottom on one side TO
the bottom on the other; add TO this
the average width Of the stack, d.
vide this sum By four-which equals
one side OF the squareand multiply
the quotient By itself and this prod
uct by tho length OF the stack. This
will give the number OF cubic feet 10
the stack, which may be divided By
6I2, 422 or 343 in order 10 find the
number OF tons.
For small, low ricks. the rule IS TO
subtract the width from the over. d.
vide by two, multiply by the width
and multiply the product By the
length, dividing the result BY the
number OF cubic feet in a ton. There
Is no established rule for measuring
round stacks. but this one VIII ap-
pToxImate the contents OF stack Of
the ordinary conical form; Find the
circumference at or above the base
OF bulge at height that will average
the base from there 10 the ground,
ind the vertical height OF the meas
ured circumference from the ground
and the slant height from the cir
eumference 10 the top Of the stack.
Multiply the circumference b. It
self, divide By 100 and multiply By
eight, then multiply the result b. the
height OF the base plus one-thIrd Of
the slant height Of the top. The hay
In a round stack is necessarily less
compact than in a rectangular stack,
hence q greater number Of feet
should be allowed for a ton, with
weiI-settled hay probably 512 cubic
feet. The rules given may also be
used for measuring any kind OF hay,
straw, cane or kaffir-fodder only ap.
proximate results can be procured BY
stack measurements. because the
fodder Is apt to vary greatly IN
weight according to the moisture
which II contains.

II would seem that binders on
brides for driving and work horses
are worse than worthless. The idea
OF binders IL 70 prevent horses from
seeing objects at which they might
scare. A horse. writer says that
binders have proven more disas-
trous than beneficial. II a horse
passes some object that Is not fully
understood by him, and causes
fright, the shutting OF from view Of
this scarecrow By binders only in
creases the fear.
Any horse Of ordinary good sense
can soon be taught not 70 scare at

amended in this respect, and the idea
is there The other idea in the bill is
that the length of the session should
not be limited. but left to the discre.

The latter idea was, advocated on

twice as much to, do as 1t did few
years ago is unable to- do the work in
the allotted ninety days Coupled with
this idea is the idea of a straight sal
airy instead of per diem, advanced
in a bill introduced some days ago by
Representative Wells and now on gen
eral orders in the house.
There has been much talk in favor
ment made is that if the time were
unlimited and the members placed on

John Nipple, the Pierre post
master and who yields a pen on the
Capital Journal, is an optimist il
any body in the state is. John is
predicting that land will soon 20 to
S100 al acre out in that country, ard
he is prompted to make the assertion
by reason of The fact that a man
living up on White river brought in
some corn stalks that measured
nine feet and six inches tall, and
some millet that grew four feet tall
just AZ days after it was planted.
On these grounds it is the assulnp-
tion that Illinois cannot produce any
thing. better than that and il Illinois
land a bring 800 per acre for
doing that we'll, that South Dakota
land ought to be just as valuable.
And MI. Hipple's reasoning is not
bad at all. There is no question but
what the land values are going to
rise in this county in the few years
to come and they will make a much
greater advance for the time they
have been under cultivation than did
the farm lands in Illinois. which
we've nuGeI cultivation for years
before they reached the fabulous
figures.

Ii anybody is worrying owe this
cool weather of the past few DAYS
they have no.need to, according to
the statement Of Professor Thomas
Shaw. who is connected with the
Minnesota agricultural college. Prof.
Shaw said that the cool weather
was adding millions of dollars in
valuestet the wheat crop of the north
westseyery day. The agricultural
expert said tbatehe was not appre-
hensive OF frostvin August, and that
the cool weather was Of value In
preventing the berry OF the wheat
from ripening too rapidly, that when
1T did this 1T was apt to shrink and
reduce the quantity as we'll as the
quality Of the crop. So that by
checking the ripening of the berry
there is to be an improvement OF the
wheat crop by the cool weather.

HIT THE STANDARD HARD.

Judge Kenesaw Lands went to the
limit when he imposed the fine on
the Standard Oil Co., giving it the
privilege Of paying the fine OF $780,
40, 600. The Standard Oil Co. was
convicted under the law against
accepting rebates from railroads, and
the fine imposed is l31 times as great
as the amount received by the CON-
pany through its Relating operations.
The fine is the maximum amount
that could be assessed for the viola
tions. Judge Lands in his statement
regretted that other punishment for
the offenders was impossible. and 1t
is certain. that II there had been the
court would doubtless have imposed
the limit on that. In the course of
his decision Judge Lands did not
mince matters and he ]ikened the
officials OF the Standard unto
counterfeiters and thieves, saying In
exact words "Tbe men who thus
deliberately violate this law wrong
society more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin Or steals letters
from the mail" That is a criticism
which ought to hold that Standard
officials for the time being.
The attorneys for the Standard
have sixty day in which to file a bill
of exceptions. There is no questions
but.what the case will be appealed to
the court Of appeals and il the
Standard should lose in that court
it still has the United States supreme
court as the final place where it can
go to delay the case. The court of
appeals will have sitting in Janu-
airy, and II the case eventually
reaches the supreme court it will be
one year from October before 1T will
be heard. 1t that time the Standard
Oil Co. will have an opportunity to
secure that S29. 24O, 900 from the
pockets of the people of the country
by just raising the price Of oil and
gasoline enough to meet the fine. 1t
is a very simple matter for the
Standard, although it comes a trife
hard on the people, who are just now
being touched up Tor 25 cents per
gallon for gasoline. The only regret
Is that the company cannot be CON-
PEELED to plank down the cash right
now and not give them all the time
that they can scare up through legal
delays.

race for United States senator
against Senator Kittredge, and that
If he doesn't he will pick out ''some
one who Is satisfactory to him."
That sounds assuring for the rest OF
the republican party Of the state,
particularly that faction which has
looked up to the governor as an ex-
ponent OF the idea that machine
dictatorship and boss rule has been
reiterated to the ash heap. In this
statement OF the governor there is
something in the phraseology which
indicates that he is not going to take
this wing Of the party into consulta.
tion as to who will be a good substi-
tute for himself In case--he does not
care to run. Would 1t not sound a
little better and be more In harmony
with the alleged principles Of the
faction to let the rank and 6le
have an interest in that important
subject? However, as the time passes
by the evidence is accommodating that
the rank and file are going to be just
as far removed from the throne as
they ever were before, and that the
few gentlemen In the saddle will
have the pleasure Of keeping up the
management Of the party and its
principles.

When Senator Ben Tillnan was
announced to speak at an eastern
ChautauQua he received a letter from
a negro who informed Mr.. Tilluan
that ii he attempted to speak at the
meeting that he would be shot.
That is something of a poser for The
southern senator. and after he has
maligned the colored man 10 the
extent that he has, he is in no
position now to back down and he
will have to call the bluff of the
negro. The senator will doubtless
have a very uncomfortable feeling
when he goes to fill the date, con-
occurring in his mind what moment
will be his last-should the negro
have the nerve to carry out his
design.

About all the whole sale centers Of

themselves on the completion of the

Of no railroad across the reservation

a big slice of the business but il the
writer of the article has no clearer
conception of where the Milwaukee
extends from than he expresses those
fellows will have to come up here
and look up the location Of the
country. The Omaha Bee saws that
"the Milwaukee road has published
freight tariffs for its new line from
Pierre to Rapid City," etc. For the
information Of the Bee we would
state that the Milwaukee road does
not extend from Pierre to Rapid
Civ, but from Chamberlain to that
point, and 1T is likely that the
wholesalers have got hold Of a North
