The farmer who attempts to make a
success OF his business without the
combination of live stock will have a
lard job on his hands. for cropping will
gradually take the substance out of the
soil and he will oon find that his lane
is almost worthless. The only way to
circumvent this Is to use commercial
fertilizers n this Is expensive. Better
far raise live stock and all that the
farm will stand. Generally, 1T would be
far more profitable to feed every pound
OF grain TO stock than to sell Ii on the
open market even at high prices. This
Is a year when the farmer is tempted to
refrain from feeding and TO sell his
corn. The high price of this cereal has
made feeding almost prohibitive n
that is why cattle are so scarce and
why beef Is SO high. AS long as corn
Is high there will be a scarcity of good
stock, for farmers will not be liberal
with 1t. Though top cattle are selling
at IS. those who market such steers
complain that 1t costs too much to
bring them up to that standard.
The importance Of a high degree of
soil productiveness in our farm oper-
atoms cannot readily be over-esti-
mated. In all farming operations there
are certain fixed charges which must
be met with whether the yield Is 90
bushels OF corn per acre or go bushels
on the same acre. The cost of plow-
ing. narrowing. planting and cultiva-
ton are practically the same. no mat
ter what the yield. The cost OF mar
vesting is less per bushel liz the yield
| be large. We may say that * requires
q certain minimum yield of grain TO
pay the expense of production. This
| minimum cost will be about the same
whether the yield is large or small.
The excess above his AMOUNT. which
may be called the maintenance require
ment, will represent profit. 1t is pos
sible for q man 10 farm land which il
so poor that 1000 acres OF 1t may be
required to net him d profit Of $1,000.
1t liz equally true tina a farm OF 100
| acres may be SO productive as to net
the owner $1,000. 1t Is. therefore. not
an Idle statement that fertility OF the
land Is the greatest single factor In
agriculture. d

MAN MUST BE
HOME MAKER, TOO

was the declaration of a bold
man, Lynden Evans, a lawyer, to mem
bers of tie Chicago Woman's club. But
he soon added: THE man who spends
his time and thought on his counting
room and makes home a boarding
place Is as much a social pest as the
women who have so far forgotten their
natural functions that they rush to
ANYTHING. from bridge whist TO bust
ness occupations of men. to get away
from the home. The home maker
man or woman-has more gray mat
ter in his or her brains than the man
who has killed his thousands on the
battlefield"

We'll, how do you think this looks?"
asks Mr.. Binderby, coming into his
wife's boudoir while she is arranging
her couture.
How does what look?" she inquiries,
in tones that are muffied by some hair
pins h has between her lips.
Il got this toupec to cover my bald
spot. I'm always catching cold, and
why, John James Binderby! The
very ideal" she exclaims. Il thought
you were a man who was above such
petty vanity. When a mar becomes SO
self conscious of his looks 1t has really
a suspicious appearance"
Whereupon Mr.. Binderby takes off
the toupee and combs the four long
locks of hair over his bald spot, and
his wife continues to pin IN the per-
fectly lovely puffs that so enhance her
beauty.

San Francisco. Cal. Special: Along
the Pacific coast sharks often attain a
very large size. Recently a monster
shark was captured In San Pedro bay.
Southern California, which is declared
10 be the largest creature OF its kind
ever captured in the world.
When first drawn out of the water
and killed this veritable sea monster
weighed $4,000 pounds. 1t measured
from tip to tip just 81 feet, and the cir
conference OF the body just forward
OF the huge dorsal fin was Is feet.
Across the fearful mouth-horiZontally
-when opened, it was 21a feet, while
from the tip of the snout to the point
of the lower jaw, 1t was 512 feet. The
size of the mouth may be judged by
the photograph-being large enough for
two children TO he comfortably seated
on the lower jaw.

This monster shark became entan
gled in the net Of two Italian fishcrmeI
which resulted in its capture fiaail
AT first the shark tore the immense ne,
some 1900 feet long, fairly into strips
But it at length became hopelessly en-
meshed by its frantic and enraged eff.
forts to escape. The strings and strong
netting became wound round and rounC
the gills Of the shark and it was finally
held a prisoner.
Then followed a long and furious
battle between the angry monster
and it's two captors, in which the fish,
5rman had many narrow escapes from
the swapping jaws. 1t was repeatedly
h~arpooned, and after more than al
hours savage combat, the monster was
stranded and killed. When cut open Its
huge stomach was found full OF fish.

Amendments.

The voters of South Dakota will be
called upon to vote upon two constitu-
tional amendments at the November
election. One is in relation to increas-
ing the salary of the attorney general
from 81 900 to $500 per year which
places that official on par with the
other state officials. 1t was four years
ago that this same question was sub
mitted to the voters but they voted it
down.
The other is to radically change the
revenue laws of the state. 1t proposes
to cut off the Limitation of levy of state
taxes which cannot exceed 4 mills for
general purposes and mills for bonded
debt. If the new amendment is adopt
ed the only limit will be what the state
assessment board may deem neces-
sary."
Another question to come is under
the referendum for vote on the county
option law, which was defeated. in the
legislature of 1907. A petition was cir
culated over the state and sufficient
number of signers secured to give the
people an opportunity to vote on the
license question as to granting licenses
in any part of the county,
Another question will be voted for
under the referendum, and that is the
change in the divorce laws of the state,
which were changed to make the resi-.
dence longer. Prominent attorneys in
the state started the petition to have il
submitted to a vote of the people.

fissure veins is eight feet in width.
They are all of easy access and available
for taking out ore TO supply the mill
with paying material. The formation OF
country rock here is the "Arcbean''
(most ancient) or old micacious slate.
There are dykes Of coarsely crystallized
granite that are intrusive and run with
the formation through this ground.
Some of these fissure veins cut through
these granite dykes and some do not.
There are thirty claims in the group,
fifteen of these are on the northeast and
fifteen on the southwest side Of the north
fork of French creek.
The names Of the officers and en-
ployees at the mine are as follows: 1.
W. Herber, manager; Chas. Anderson,
Supt. OF mill; Henry Saville, mill fore
man; Frank Beadle, piNe supt. KY.

John Gage, VIM. Anderson, carpenters;

ster.
The Inauguration of this plant on the
Saginaw mine is to us very encouraging
and we have every reason to believe it
will prove perfect success. The man
agement is wise and efficient. They
have first class man at the head of
each department, and as an evidence Of
the enterprise of the company there has
been nothing left out that would in any
way contribute TO the perfection of the
mine or the plant as whole. 1t should
60 far towards redeeming the times in
Custer mining district and revive the
industry of mining in the county.

at o'clock in the afternoon of Wednes-

two good men. The details are meagre

Mr.. J. B. Taylor and Chris Miller were

all of them exploded. But it seems that
one of them hung fire and did not 60 of
