School Omcers, Meeting.

A the call Of County Superinten-
dent j. III. Hetley the school officers
Of Day county assembled at the
opera house in Webster Saturday
for their annual meeting.
The meeting was called to order
at 1915 o'clock a. m. by the super.
intendent and was organized by the
elsction Of j. H. Hetley chairman
and j. j. Fosse secretary.
The chairman called upon Hon.
VIM. Carpenter who gave brief
and instructive talk upon "Some
Commendable School Laws" He
also recommended the passage of a
law providing state aid for the high
schools. He was followed by Prof
j. f. Olander, of Brookings, who
particularly pointed out the benefits
OF the compulsory provision in the
school law. His remarks elected
several questions from the audience,
and lively and instructive discus
sion was INDUCED in.
The discussion brought out, that
the work in the superintendent
Office has been greatly increased;
that although the superintendent
has the authority to appoint dep
uty, it is left in the discretion Of the
board of comfy commissioners to
provide compensation for such dep
uty and that they had failed to do
SO with one exception.
Prof. Olander emphasized the
necessity Of well qualified deputy
for the superintendent's Office at
liberal salary and cited several coun-
ties where deputies were employed

INJUNCTION IS ISSUED
Federation Of LabOr's Unfair List
Declared to Be Illegal.
COURT CALLS IT CONSPIRACY
Justice Gould of District OF Columbia
Decides Case Brought by BUCK
Stove and Range Company.

Washington, Dec. lin the case
of the Buck Stove and Range COM
pany of st. Louis against the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, involving
the right of labor to boycott business
houses which labor organizations re-
garded as unfair" to them, Justice
Gould of the District o. Columbia
equity court granted temporary in
junction asked for by President Van
Cleaye of the Stove company to pro-
hibit the federation from continuing
to boycott the company pending
final settlement of the case.
A bill in equity was filed by the
company last August for a permanent
| injunction restraining the federation
from boycotting the company and put
| ting it on the unfair" list in the fed
| erations official organ and later
supplemental bill was filed charging
that Notwithstanding the pending pro.
ceedings the federation was still
actively engaged in pressing the boy
colt and a temporary injunction was
asked for.
Judge Gould declared that it was
not surprising that there was SO little
difference of opinion among the courts
upon the question involved and that
the conclusion that such combinations
as that disclosed by the affidayits filed
| by the Buck Stove company in this
case were held to be unlawful was
based upon an appreciation of the.
free country.
No Doubt as to the Boycott.
He said there was little room for
argument or discussion of the question
whether the plaintiff company had
shown the existence of an unlawful
combination and conspiracy to destroy
| his business and that the record leaves
no doubt that the plaintiff has been
and still is the object of boycott,
using that term Gin the most obnoX-
ious sense, namely, an unlawful con-
spiracy to destroy it's business. such
a conspiracy as has received the con-
domination of every federal and state
court In the country beTOre winch IL
has been brought for criminal action
legal redress or equitable injunction"
The court held that the contention
of the defense that there can not be
unlawful combination where each
member thereof might do individually
the thing contemplated without respon-
sibility to the law has much of plausi-
bility and seems to evade accurate
analysis" Justice Gould cited au-
thorities, however, to show that a
combination of two or more persons
with such an intent and under such
circumstances that give them when so
combined power to do an injury they
would not possess as individuals act
ing jointly has always been recog-
nized as in itself wrongful and illegal

South Dakota in the early days and
located 81 miles north of Andover
where they resided for number of
years. Later Mr.. Gilmore purchased
farm in Section 2, just across the
line south from Pennington and
removed thereto and dwelt for some
time. They next took up residence
in Pierpont and later went to Cali
fornia for the benefit of Mrs. Gil
more's health. Returning to South
Dakota they made their home at
Frankfort and last summer again
located on their farm south of Farm
ington. Being unable to attend to
household duties Mrs. Gilmore again
went to Frankfort and made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. WV.
Swan, until about month previous

In order to secure uniform results
the buttermaker should see that his
cream runs practically uniform from
day to day in butter fat and develops
about the same amount of acid for
each churning. The degrere to which
the ripening should be developed will
depend largely on the demands of the
local market where the butter is sold.

uty for the county superintendent.
The chair appointed Rev. l.. f.
Hammer and Prof. w. A. Thompson
as such committee.
A recess was then taken until 1:30
o'clock p. m.
The afternoon session was opened
by an able and earnest address by
Superintendent j. II. Hetley, in
which he discussed the necessity and
Importance of up-to date school
buildings and improvements of
school grounds, the proper heating
and ventilating of school houses; the
the absolute necessity of ample
blackboard space, maps, globes, etc. !;
the value Of monthly and term
reports from teachers and the neces
sity Of being able to reach the par
ents Of children by letter. For this
purpose he requested all school
clerks to give the post-ofTice address
Of parents aud guardians on their
census reports. He also explained
the value of teachers Institutes and
the benefits derived by eighth grade
graduates in attending the same.
State Superintendent of Public
Schools II. A. Ustrud gave a very
interesting address ON THE Public
School and its Surroundings" The
speaker held, that the educational
interests had not kept pace with the
more material developments of the
commonwealth. That whereas the
crude implements of agriculture and
transportation, and inconvenient and
unsightly home buildings have been
displaced by the most modern and
up-to date machinery and vehicles,
and palatial residences, the old fash.
Toned, inconvenient and poorly ven
tilated school houses are with few
exceptions, still in use, especially in
the rural districts, and the school
grounds are sadly neglected
He illustrated his address by ster.
eoptican views, showing among them
modern rural school building in
Day county.
The speaker heartily recommended
the consolidation of schools and
showed several views of consolidated
school houses and vehicles for con-
veying the children to and from
school.
Prof w. A. Thompson was on the
srogram for an address but yielded
his time to other speakers.
Professor Olander then spoke on
How to Secure Good Teachers"
His experience had taught him that
recommendation is in most
instances worthless; that a high
grade certificate may often be
obtained by very poor teachers.
What is absolutely indispensable for
a good teacher is proper training.
The good teacher must know how to
teach. The best place to secure
such training is at our state normal
schools.
A. L. Chamberlain was then intro
duced and made very earnest and
impressive plea for the farm boy and
the farm girl. He argued forcibly

Feeding the Milk Maker.

In IN experiment at the Michigan
State college on the value of roots as
supplement to silage for dairy COWS
the addition of roots to an already
complete ration of silage, clover hay
and grain for dairy COW stimulated
both milk and butter fat production.
The cost of the ration, however, was
raised to such degree as to lessen
the profit of production, milk costing
A. cents more per hundred pounds
and butter fat IL cents more per
pound as a result.
In case large production is desired,
as in making records, roots might be
used to advantage.
The cows gained in weight more on
the root ration than when fed without
roots, but the difference was not great.
The percentage OF butter fat In the
milk was constant, whether on the
root ration or without roots.
How Much Grain7
Seven pounds daily is fair average
amount for cows weighing 500 to 900
pounds which produce ten quarts of
per cent milk daily. Feeders In To-
calities where there Is not q quick de-
mand for milk may find it economy to
use only five pounds of grain daily
and a maximum amount of home
grown coarse feeds. Heavy milking
Holsteins weighing 1000 pounds may
require twelve or more pounds of
grain daily, depending upon their abil-
ity to utilize It, The usual daily
roughage ration to go with the grain
mixture will consist OF what hay the
animal will eat clean eighteen to
twenty-four pounds) or one bushel of
corn silage and ten to sixteen pounds
of hay, according to Professor ]. u.
Lindsey Of Massachusetts.
In Brief.
Every pound of feed above the actual
maintenance is profit. Simple main
tenance Is nothing.
Orchard grass Is an excellent pasture
plant. furnishing good grazing during
the season, and 1t ranks high for nu-
tritive qualities.
Regularity Is very essential, for If
the cows have to wait half an hour
for their feed after the usual time 1t
VIII cause them to fret and cut down
the milk yield.
The best way to prevent the calves
having the scours Is to be careful not
TO overfeed. giving them not more
than I'VE or six pounds Of milk three
times day at first. increasing gradu-
ally as they grow older. remarks an
