Wild fowl and tame reign on our
company tables. No winter seems
just right without a wild duck, prai-
RE chicken, a partridge or quail, yet
the prices have gone up so high in re-
cent years that the middle class can
not afford to indulge in game at all.
AS duck and chicken farms have in
creased in numbers, better poultry is
obtainable from the point of texture
of meats, quality and age. We may
have young chickens any day OF the
year, and are sure Of getting a young
duck, young turkey or a young goose
II we ask for it. Young fowl simply
roasted are the daintiest meats to be
placed on the table.
Sometimes old fowl are a cent or
two cheaper pound, and are fit for

The HEN AND HER NEST.

Many claim that the nest should be
on the ground; but all claims that
hens should have their nests on the
moist ground are unsupported by facts,
says Green's Fruit-Grower and Home
Companion.
What is required for the hen in
winter is a snug, warm location; while
in summer she should have a cool
place.
The best material for nest is dry
earth on the bottom, with chopped hay
over the earth.
Then dust the nest, hen and eggs
with a good insect powder, and put a
small quantity of tobacco refuse in
the nest.
Should an egg be broken, or the
nest become foul, clean it out thor
oughly. The broken egg will cause
lice quicker than anything else.

WHlTEWASH THE HENHOUSE.

Every poultry man should give the
henhouse a periodical coat OF lime
wash, and the oftener he does it the
better. The matter is a very simple
one. If the house is small, all you
may want is limewash brush, and
bucket of water into which few hand
fuls of quicklime have been put, we'll
stirred together, and allowed to settle.
The stuff when put on should be about
as thick as cream. A handful of COM
mon rough salt will help it to adhere
to the walls, spoonful or two OF
liquid carbolic will help it to do it's
murderous work on animal life, and a
little bit of powder-blue (washing
blue) will prevent the white coat
turning yellow by-and-by.
If the henhouse is large one 1t
will pay to use a sprayer for putting
on the limewash. This is a most
effective way of whitewashing any
building.

SURE OF FRESH EGGS.

There is a German dairyman and
farmer whose place is not far from
Philadelphia who greatly plumes him
self upon. the absolute superiority OF
his products above all others in the
vicinity.
On one occasion he personally ap-
piled to Germantown honsekeeper
for a transfer of her custom to him
self. 81 hears dot you hat lot OF
drouble nit dot dairyman OF yours,
he said "Yust you gift me your GUS
tom und dere will be no drouble!"
Are your eggs always fresh?'
asked the woman.
Fresh" repeated the German, in an
indignant tone. Let me dell you,
madam, dot my hens, meier lay any
thing but fresh ggs!"-Harper's
Weekly.

TO THE HEN.

oh. feathered queen, thou precious
hen,
The greatest fowl in all the nation,
Accept this verse of admiration,
Thou best of boons to many men.
Although deep science may contrive
To initiate their incubation,
The sorry time will ne'er arrive
When hens are lacking occupation.

from the audience concerning the
agricultural problems of this
locality. Captain Gardner's tree
talks were especially instructive.
A number of farmers, from the
surrounding country, as we'll as
business men of the town, were
present at both meetings. The
gentlemen in charge of the work
were especially pleased with the
size and evident interest of the
audience. They believe it the
best meeting they have yet held in
any of the towns west of the river.

increased activity along agricultur-

locality. The state with it's agri-

our farm problems. The settlers
should make the meetings rousing

Next spring there will likely be
another institute. Watch for it.

Pete Kertzman Fleeced

Peter Kertzman, who was for
many years we'll known rancher
of this county, recently traded his
property near Topbar for a saloon
in Sioux City. The Sioux Falls
Press of last Friday contains \
long article that indicates that
Kertzman was badly buncoed.
The account is substantially -
follows:
Reading like a plot from .
Mick Carter" weekly, embellished
with the alleged villainies of un-
scrupulous men and with the scenes
alternately laid in Sioux City and
the bad lands of South Dakota, is
the story told the police by Peter
Kertzman, an aged rancher of
Topbar, S. D., which has resulted
in the issuance of warrants for the
arrest of A. E. Godfrey of Sioux
City and = real estate dealer of
Huron, S. d., charged with con-
spiracy.

says, he was the owner Of : pros

ing a close fight between these
candidates. The 9 precincts yet
to be heard from are outlying
country precincts, where repubIi-
can majorities are apt to be rolled
up without much attention to
county candidates. A conserva-
tive estimate from republican
headquarters at Fort Pierre places
CLOVIS majority at fifty votes.
Huston is re- elected sheriff by 200
votes. Judge Moore did not show
the strength so confidently ex-
pected by the democrats, and
Dinsmore is elected county judge
by handsome majority.
If reports from Lyman county
are confirmed Fred S. Rowe has
defeated Scotty Brown, the re-
publican candidate for the senate.
Rowe has a lead of 200 votes in
this county, and if Scotty loses
Lyman county, as is reported,
Rowe will 60 in by safe margin.
Warner will be elected over Bier
wagon by a majority of 400 votes.
This gives the county a democratic
senator and a republican represen-
tative.

Republicans Victorious

Returns to date indicate posi-
lively that William Howard Taft
has been elected president. He
will have approximately 50 cleo
toral votes more than he needs
The pivotal states of New York,
Ohio, and Indiana all show large
majorities for the republican
candidate. New York. which was
believed to be doubtful by both
sides, viii give Taft over 100000
majority. Ohio will be for its
fayorite son by $4,000. Indiana,
conceded to be doubtful by the
republicans prior to election, gives
Taft 10000 majority. Bryan
carries Nebraska By 5000.
Indiana has probably elected a
3democratlc governor. The state
ticket in Ohio is reported to be
close. Hughes runs considerably
behind in New York, bat is elected
by a good majority johnson is
elected again in Minnesota.
In general the eastern states
rolled up their Roosevelt majori-
ties of four years ago for Taft. In
the Middle west there was a
general falling off in the republi-
can vote, but in only a few in
stances does it 90 much below the
Mckinley vote of eight years ago,
indicating that the voters of the
nation are willing to place the
stamp of their approval upon the
policies of the republican party.
South Dakota gives Taft ma
jority of $4,000. and Nessey, the
republican candidate for governor,
a majority of $4,000. Burke and
Martin are elected to Congress by
majorities equalling that of Taft.
The entire state republican ticket
is elected, which testifies strongly
to the fact of a reunited republi-
can party in South Dakota. Andy
Lee did not make the run the dem
ocrats expected of him, loosing his
own comfy to Vessey by 800
votes.
Stanley county went approx
mately 400 republican, On the
county ticket there was consider
able scratching, but present re-
turns indicate that the entire re-

tiles ranging from 50 to 500.
