BRYAN AND THE FARMER.

Colonel Bryan and Major Kern, his
subordinate in command, have issued
a loud holler to the farmer to come up
and subscribe TO the democratic cam
to them jointly by "A farmer "of Swed-
ish extraction a former republican
who has turned democrat and who sub
scribed 800 without making the least
fuss about it.
The receipt of this subscription set
Colonel Bryan and Mayer Kern to
thinking and investigating. AS the re-
suit of said c~ogitations and investiga-
tons, they have discovered that there
are hundreds OF thousands of farmers
who are abundantly able to contribute
to the campaign fund. There are
thousands" exclaimed the colonel, who
could give 800 apiece; there are tens
of thousands who could give $50 apiece
without sacrificing anything, and still
more who could contribute $25, $40
or S."
Undoubtedly the number of farmers
who could do this thing is not overes-
timated. The farmers have enjoyed re-
publican rule long enough to have be-
come exceedingly prosperous. They are
rich. They are inlaid with money and
contentment. They are sending their
sons to college and their daughters to
town to study music. typography and
cooking. They are coming to the city
themselves with mi to pick out mis-
sion furniture and grandfather clocks.
They are busy as they can be with the
crops, but whenever the duties of the
farm let up a little, they go into the
village to attend a meeting Of the di-
rectors of the farmers telephone com
pany or To- declare a dividend on their
traction stock.
OF course. the farmers are abundant
ly able to contribute to the democratic
campaign fund-if they want to. But

gest a single reason why they should
want to?
Has prosperity so turned their heads
that they want to stop it? If so, they
should vote for Bryan, pure soup and
clipped dollars.-Minneapolis Journal.

DAkOTAS GIVE MICHIGAN HOPE

Here and there are h%arbingers of the
time when the people, and not the state
machine, will nominate and elect Uni
ted States senators. The idea of a
popular election for this highest of
legislative offices is spreading rapidly.
and In not a few of the states it is
only a matter of a little time before
election methods will be modified to
admit of this larger expression Of the
peoples will. The people of North
Dakota have just made their first at
tempt at a popular selection of a can.
didate for the federal senate. They
did not have full swing, inasmuch as
the law provides that unless a candi-
date receives 40 per cent of the party
vote there is no nomination, and In
the event Of none of the receiving
the necessary 40 per cent, the two
standing highest in the returns shall
be placed on the ballots at the regu
lar election, and the n then receiv
ing the highest vote shall be presented
to the state legislature As a party can
didate. BY this process of elimination
the people virtually choose their sena
tor, and do it in such a way that the
Legislature has almost no discretion in
confirming that choice. Anyway, they
were permitted to register their will
with such effect that it turned out Of
ONCE Senator Hansborough, who has
held the ONCE under machine rule fol
eighteen years, and who was conse
Quently well fenced" for anything but
a contest with the people.

| vet become the peer OF any part
of our country for this industry that
brings quicker returns than any other
of the live stock interests found on
our farms.
The best informed along the lines
of swine growing all concede that our
farmers have made a great mistake
in selling off brood sows last fall anu
winter, as everything indicates that we
are on the threshold of a period when
for years to come pork production
will be very profitable. 1t is said, how.
ever, that there is a siver lining to
every cloud. If our farmers who have
sold more closely than they should
will replenish their herds with pure
bred, fashionable stock, what seems
now to be disastrous will prove 4
blessing in disguise.
We fully believe and are practicing
what we preach that this is the ideal
time to infuse new and prepotent
blood into our stock. ANY farmer who
can see his way clear to not only buy
a good pure bred sire, but also II or
two pure bred sows which have been
already bred even at a long price will
say one year hence that it is thesbest
investment he ever made.

These hot day pigs need plenty Of

The people of South Dakota have
also brought their influence directly
to bear ON the senatorial situation and
turned out a machine man of eight
years service through a primary cleo
ton. South Dakota had a senator who
was a standpatter on the tariff, while
most of his constituents were revision
lists, but by the time their revisionist
steam worked through the tortuous
channels of the old-style political ma
chinery he didn't feel it, and conse-
quently he remained unmoved.
1t will not be long before other
states will be flying past us in their
new and u%p-to-date election machines,
and Michigan will be seriously consid-
ering about getting a 1908 model
for herself. We rave ire pow
er in this state. and we know
how it should be used, but thus
far we have wasted a maximum of
strength for a minimum of perfor-
nance, because we are working with
out-of-date tools, which the machine
politicians of this state would compel
us to use forever. Some of these fine
days we shall refuse, and then there
will be popular representation for
Michigan, too, in the United States
senate.-Detroit News.

While in Sioux Falls Saturday. Gov
ernor Johnson was asked by the Argus
Leader about the success Of the Min
nesota Irvine plant. The governor said
that last year the plant manufactured
about fifteen million pounds Of Irvine
which was sold at a price below that
which had formerly ruled for the
trust product. Practically all Of the
output is sold TO Minnesota consum'
ers. and only the surplus is put on
sale to outside consumers. The pro-
duct OF this plant is increasing every
year. The plant has made the state
prison at saltwater entirely self-sus-
tanning, and in addition 20 that Is
providing a surplus fund which is be
ing used in the construction Of an
other prison which Is needed. II Is
believed that the plant will this year
not only maintain the Saltwater pris-
ON without a cent from the taxpayers,
but will earn a surplus Of close TO
800 900 for the state. Being told that
South Dakota had voted a tax for the
installation Of a twine plant, the Civ
ernor expressed his pleasure at the
movement in South Dakota and made
the prediction that our people would
never regret the move.

DR.. HOPKINS ON CORN.

DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins, is the corr ex-
pert of the Illinois University. He
spent his boyhood at the home of his
father, Hon. George f. Hopkins, at
Estelline, Hamline county, South Da-
kota and was educated at the Brook
ings college. 1t is highly gratifying to-
note how many of the graduates of
that institution have made good. In a
recent address at Urbana, DR.. Hopkins
said:
Some years ago cOrn was a stran-
ger. We found it here when We came,
a native of the country, yet until fiji
teen years ago we took it for granted.
Then a close study of it's individu-
atty and peculiar characteristics de-
monstrated that it is possible to breed
up corn just as we improve animals,
although we have not yet learned how
to control the male parent. The i'm
portance of this may be appreciated
when we remember that the corn crop
of this country is worth 1,5O0, 000, 900
every year.
1--WE are trying to get che ear of
corn to the stock; that is what we are
working for, because some stalks are
barren; we don't know why. Various
people have various theories but they
have not been demonstrated.
Take a hundred ears of corn, plant
them exactly alike, three kernels to
the hill, the kernels from each cal
in rows by themselves. in exactly the
same soil; cultivate them in the same
way and the yield will vary 100 pei
cent. We cannot account for that varf
alton. 1t is impossible to determine
thus why some corn will grow while
others will not; but in planting a far
mer should always use the seed from
the best ears because that is likely tc
yield better than the poor ears. But
every ear of seed should be tested by
a terminating pan during the winter
This Is a new thing but is being intro
: duced rapidly; all seed men ard bet
ter class of farmers are taking the pre-
caution. None of the big corn plant
ers will use anything but tested seed.
DIR. Hopkins goes on to say how
widely scientific corn breeding is be
ing taught in schools and universities
of Illinois, and the good hopes that ex
lists that ideal corn conditions will
come out of It. All this serves to i'm
press upon the farmers of South Da
kota the Importance Of the pure seed
problem.
Our colleges and seedsmen too are
doing much to improve seed but 1t il
up to the farmers themselves to make
the work most practical.-Pierre Dako

The supreme court of the state has
reversed the decision of the lower
court in the case of the City of Brook
ing VS.. H. H. NatvSick. The city built
a cement walk along the north side
of West & Packard's store building,
which is Natwick's property and then
sued Natwick and won out in the ldy-
er court. Now, however, by the SUI
preme courts decision the city will
have to stand the expense. Natwick
set up the claim that the walk was a
poor one and from its present condi-
ton there was something in it.

SHELTER FOR SHEEP IN SUMMER

the heat Of a scorching SUI They
turn from the pasture at the first
coming of the king Of day to some
shelter where they can escape from
the suns heat. You can't make a
sheep face the sun to- save your life.
Many pasture fields have no form OF
shelter whatever, not even shade trees.
The poor sheep huddle in the fence
corners, stick their heads under the
rails and pant for hours When noon
comes they have to take the sun, and
in distress they will seek protection
on the other side of the pasture. This
is sure to injure the sheep. How can
they improve under these conditions?
Good shade trees are a great boon to
a flock, but evils of many sorts Turk
in the shadow of trees. They say a
sheep catches cold under a tree and
they always have dirty noses.
1t is true a tree on a hilltop IS
drafty, and it may be that the idea
is based on this, but flocks have en-
joyed the shelter of trees without any
serious trouble in this way, and it is
far better to have them than to allow
the sheep to suffer. The most trouble
comes from the accommodating OF filth
and disease germs. 1t is so important
to- change shelter frequently. Sheep
should not be allowed to seek the
same shelter every day. Force them
to changes. Sometimes it may be
best to put a pen aroun a favorite
tree for several weeks. 1t would be
best if the sheep were not allowed to
sleep in the same place, but this is i'm.
practical. The building of sheds in
sheep pastures is not a bad invest
ment at all. 1t is a good idea to
build a light portable shed on wheels
or me so it could be moved from
day to day. Sheep are just crazy for
will be surprised to see how regular
ly a flock will go to a shed if they
can find shelter there. Oftentimes
sheep will travel a half mile from
their pasture to find shelter in a shed.
A basement barn affords ideal shelter
for sheep. 1t is cool, dark and free
from flies. Flies are even a worse
nuisance than heat. Sheep hate flies,
and are constantly worried by them.
A native instinct bids them to beware
of the buzz of the pesky gadfy that
is ever seeking to deposit it's larva
on the nose of a sheep in the summer.
This fly does not lay an egg, but de-
posits a grub, which chambers up the
nasal passage and causes grub in
the head"
You have seen a bunch of sheep
standing heads down, when suddenly
m stamps all four feet and dashes
off in a race for freedom from that
terrifying buzz, buzz, buzz. The fright.
ened sheep rushes into a clump of tall
grass, a dusty path or fence corner
and seeks to hide it's nostrils from the
t~ireless prosecutor. Strange that 1t
knows death may follow the buzz OF
that little sinner. If a man would
save his flock from the trouble he
must guard his flock from the gadfy
Dark sheds are the best protection
from this pest. Some advise the daub
ing of pine tar on the side of salt
troughs, which should then be placed
close to the barn or fence, so as to
make 1t easy for the sheep to get
tar on their noses.-Shepherd Crit
erion.
