Cutting Hone J for the Jars.

Every beekeeper knows that bees, II
given plenty of room, are more o IN
tented, and more likely to confine
their efforts to the production OF
honey rather than to swarming. use
q little continuance of my own get up,
writes a correspondent of Bee Culture,
for cutting round pieces of comb honey
out OF combs and placing the same In
glass Jars SO that / can produce comb
honey without the expense of comb
honey supers and sections. This places
the honey Immediately In a package
where II is non-perishable and almost
non-breakable, and where 1t shows on
TO the very best advantage.
In order to cut the honey 1t Is nee
essary only to lay the comb on a clean
board or a tray made for the purpose;
press the cutter through the comb,
then pull it out again, when 1t will be
found that the cake of honey is re-
tanned in the cutter. BY pushing on
the handle the cake of honey may be
quickly placed inside the "a or jar,
which should be one-eighth to one
quarter inch larger in diameter than

Gardner's Visit to Belle Fourche Re-
news Interesting Speculation.
Definite announcement of the plans
of the Chicago & North Western rail-
road for extending westward to the
Pacific coast may shortly be expected.
A new impetus to the rumors cur
rent for some time was given by the
presence at Belle Fourche of William
A. Gardner, vice president of the road,
and also the director of the operating
department. Mr.. Gardner came here
unannounced, and made a careful in
vestigation of the situation. He was
non-committal on the future policy OF
the company, but from the investiga-
ton he carried on railroad men fore
see a decision that the road will build
westward from this point,
AS long ago as last summer con-
tractors in the employ Of the road
commenced laying in a stock of ties
and many other indications seem to
point to the fact that extension will
be made from Belle Fourche.

A road west from Belle Fourche
would tap rich and undeveloped lands.
The people of Buffalo and southern
Hand and Hyde counties are attempt
ing to secure pledges from land own
ers to pay a certain cash bonus for an
extension of the Milwaukee's Messing
ton Springs line to Pierre. 1t is en-
tirely a farmer move. Another farm
er proposition is Q line from Sioux
City to Centerville. Such a line would
be through the oldest settled portion
of the state, and is being pushed by
farmers of Clay and Union counties.
Work is to be resumed on the troll
ley line from Brookings to Sioux Falls
down the Sioux valley. A. H. Whea-
ton is said to be at the head Of the
project.

soon as the plants appear above
ground. Hand tools are best suited to
this work. The plants are very small
and require careful handling to avoid
covering or destroying large numbers
of them. 1t will frequently be found
necessary to thin out the plants in a
row. They should not stand closer
than two inches apart, and three inch
es apart In a row is better. Ii large
onions are to be grown, they should be
thinned down to four and six inches
apart In the row. Keep the ground
free of weeds and grass and permit
the onions to have full use of the land.
The surface should be kept well pull
verified, and should be cultivated FREE
quently.
The bulbs should be left in the
ground until the tops fall and die.
They can then be pnlled and placed
in piles and ~de-topped, and taken to
a cool shed or place for storage. Mois-
ture should be avoided, and the bulbs
should be kept in as cool a location al
it is possible to obtain on the farm.
If they do not show signs of rotting,
they may be left In the ground for
some time after maturity. At the first
appearance of rot the entire crop
should be pulled and carefully stored
in a cool place. +,

l~ustrations are 2% inches inside d.
ameter, 5h inches In height, and they
will hold from four to five cakes cut
from combs OF ordinary thickness.
The weight of the comb honey runs
from Is to IL ounces, and after pour
ing in sufficient liquid honey TO hll the
jar the entire weight is found to Do
about % or "a ounces The comb
shows plainly through the glass and
honey, and. when held before the light,
is beautiful beyond description.
Tin cans may be used and covered
with a suitable label, although glass
jars provide a more handsome package.
There is a little difficulty In getting
Jars and cans with large openings that
will not leak, but | think this objection
can be very easily overcome. II Is i'm
portant that the opening into the jar
should be as large in diameter ais the
jar itself.
The cooky cutter or whatever Is
used, should be Immersed in hot water
just before cutting, to get the best
results.

plainsmsn impaired a genuine surprise
when it was learned that for the first

But things have changed. Cody has

ticular band living In this vicinity has
always been quick to take hold OF a
new idea and make a success of it.
One builder has $4,000 worth of con-
tracts on hand to build frame houses
on Indian allotments.
Many land seekers are trying to buy
from the Indians, who. under the
Burke law, can sell their lands. Many
refuse to sell at all. and those that do,
drive very shrewd bargains. The lands
of deceased Indians are bringing good
prices and a large amount is being
sold. The result will be that in a short
time the reservation itself will have
about as large a white population as II

NEW GAME LAW TO 81 HELD UP.
s. D. Dealers In Ammunition Lay
plans for a Referendum.

s. D. Dealers In Ammunition Lay
plans for a Referendum.
The new game law Is to be referen-
dumed. II the plans of some OF the
Wholesale dealers In ammunition DO
not miscarry. A petition has already
been started in WATERFOWL with a
view to securing the signature OF the
necessary s. per cent OF n voters 10
cause the law to be submitted at the
next general election, which means In
1910.
The game law, which, Ii not thus
submitted. will become effective july
/. 1909, is said to be n of the most
stringent In the Northwest. 1t Is I'M
lawful, under its provisions, TO XIII
grouse or prairie chickens for two
years. The running at large OF hunt
ing dogs, settlers or pointers during
the breeding season of wild fowl, is
also not permissible. The date OF the
open season for ducks has beer set
forward ten days, to Sept. 10. instead
of the LIST.
The sportsmen who &c afield mere
ly for the pleasure OF the sport, IN
cidentally to bag a sufficient quantity
to replenish the family larder, seem,
as a rule, 10 be fairly we'll satsseed
with the stringency OF the law, but 3
great protest has gone forth by hunt
ers who make the sport a business.
Dealers in ammunition, who have
hitherto sold large quantities OF load
ed shells. are likewise adversely az
fected by the law.
Those who are promoting the petit
ton for the submission of the law at
the next election express confidence In
their ability to secure the requisite
number of signatures, which will re-
suit in holding up" the operation OF
the measure until 1910, regardless OF
the result of the vote. BY that time
the provisions with regard to the nom
shooting OF grouse and prairie chick
ems will have become ineffective, even
though the law may be favorabiy
passed upon by the electors.

THE ONION. CROP

Onion seed are cheap, and for start
ing a general crop 1t Is better to use
seeds than sets. Onion sets will pro-
duce green onions of a size suitable
for table use much earlier In the
spring than will the seed, but they
cost more and are more difficult to
plant, and should not be used for gem
eral crop work.
The land for the onion bed should
be plowed In the fall or early winter,
and should be given surface cultiva-
ton just before planting the seed In
the spring. Unless the ground Is new
and very fertile, 1t will pay well to
give the land a dressing OF well-rotted
barnyard manure A good plan is to
grow a crop OF cowpeas on the ground
in late summer, and plow them under
In early fall. The ground will then be
in ideal condition for receiving an
onion crop in the early spring. With
the seed-bed thoroughly prepared, the
opportunities for a good crop are
greatly increased
The seed should be drilled in rows
about Is inches apart. The common
garden drill is the best tool that can
be used for this work. 1t is indispen-
sible, If a large planting is to be made,
for the garden work; however, small
rows can be laid out with the hoe or a
stick and the seed drilled in by hand,
scattering the seed quite thickly in
the row. Cover with moist soil, and
firm the soil well down around the
seed. The seed should be planted no
deeper than is necessary to place
them in contact with moist soil. In
no case should they be planted more
than an inch and a half or two inches
deep. If they can not be placed in
moist soil III inches below the sur
face, 1t is better to plant them deeper
than one inch and wait for q rain TO
bring them up.
Onion seed should be tested before
planting. The seed d~eteriorates rap.
idly with age, and IL 1t shows poor
sprouting, new seed should be OBJ
tanned or an approximate larger guam
tity should be planted. The seed
terminates slowly, and 1t is frequent.
ly advisable to soak the seed in warn
water "a hours before planting. About
six or seven pounds of seed will plant
one acre Of ground In the manner de-
scribed above.
The land should be cultivated as

COMMISSIONERS BACK MlLLERs
Readjustment Of Rates to Eastern
Points Will Be Urged by South Da-

49, -
kota.
The South Dakota board of railroad
commissioners, which mas just held its
regular monthly meeting in Sioux
Falls, is in strong sympathy with the
effort of the Northwestern Millers' as
ISOLATION to secure-a readjustment of
rates to eastern points by a proceed
ing which the association has COM
menced before the Interstate COM
merce commission. and Commissioners
F. c. Robinson vas delegated to repre-
sent the state at the hearing before
the Interstate commerce commission
The proceeding of the millers' %associa-
ton Is based upon the ground that
cheap transportation Of wheat enables
eastern millers to sell -four in Atlantic
seaboard markets at prices which are
destructive to the business Of western
! millers.
The matter OF the establishment of
joint freight rates In South Dakota
was discussed to some extent, and It
was decided to call a hearing at which
the entire matter of joint rates can
be gone over. The hearing will be held
in Sioux Falls in April.
General Managers Frank Walters OF
the North Western Railroad west Of
the Missouri river, appeared before the
board and stated that extensive i'm
provements were contemplated at
Sturgis, Belle Fourche and other
points. The company has decided to
expend $4,000 for ballasting the
roadbed from Chadron, Neb., to Belle
Fourche.
Some weeks ago the Great Northern
railroad applied to the board for per-
mission to close it's station at Grover.
| The matter was investigated by Com
missioner Robinson, who has reported
to the board recommending that the
| application of the railroad company be
not granted. The board sustained this
view of the matter.
A complaint was made to the board
that the Milwaukee was about to with
draw the reduced rate on shipments
of seed grain, which is one-half the
| regular rate. The board communicate
| ed with the railroad company, and
was advised hat the reduced rate on
seed grain within South Dakota had
| been restored and woul3 remain in ef-
feet until after seeding time.

roller skates in the house, when his
feet slipped from under him. He
clutched at the cloth on a table near
by, pulling it off and carrying with it
to the floor a lighted kerosene lamp.
The cover started to burn, and Mrs.
Johnston attempted to extinguish the
flames. Instead, her clothes caught
fire and, screaming. she ran out into
the yard. where the wind famed her
burning clothes into a fierce fire.
Neighbors coming quickly rolled her
on the ground, sc that, while she is
seriously burned. 1t is expected she
will recover.

Is II SO with ~Yours7--You may have

The trouble with too many of our
chickens is that they are just half
way raised" We take the best of
care of our chickens till they have
passed the tender stage, and then turn
them out for themselves, trusting Il
the range to furnish them food, drink,
grit and lodging. We are disap-
pointed that our hens don't lay, when
probably we are not giving them
enough food to produce a surplus
quantity over and above that required
for the maintenance of the hen. The
ncns that - s.eAerfed during the
months when they are dependent on
their owner for food and drink are
the hens which produce the chicks
which can never be more than half
way raised" because they haven't the
