2x4 rough perches. These the strong

of the perches every few days during

This will usually destroy the lice if
it is attended to regularly but if the
hen house is an old one and polluted
with lice bv all means spray every
rae and corner with the liquid lice
destroyer.
The house should not be closed up
tight while the fowls are in it i'm
mediately after USING the lice killer,
or the fumes will likely injure them.
The red mites are II of the worst
pests and painting the perches with
the liquid louise killer Will usually
destroy them at the same time.
In the day time they NAV be found
on the under side of the perches ana
under boards and in all cracks and
~crevices but during the night they
come u and sap the life blood out
of the fowls.

WORTH THINKING OVER.

A farmer may raise the best and big
gest crops in the country and yet be
the biggest failure as a man and a
neighbor.
We should always be ready to help
shoulder the burdens of our weaker
neighbors SO far as We are able, but
there is no need to go about looking
for loads that do not belong to US.
The Dual-purpose COW is too often
owned by a man.
Because a community cannot afford
stone roads. there is no excuse for
poor ones. A split lot will do the bus
mess.
There are forty-four m in the
Iowa legislature. This gives a pretty
good lea how the farmer NOWADAYS
is being regarded. The other half of
the legislature is made up mostly Of
lawyers. A pretty good combination.
Not enough of US nave learned that
farming is a business, not a hopeless
drudgery.

GREAT f CES.

OF course every one knows now
necessary is a congenial atmosphere
to our best efforts. With this in mind
the wonder is that some way has not
been thought out for bringing to the
farm the wonderful in~Spirational
forces which are active in every coun-
try store throughout the land. For
the truth is hat nowhere else are
performed such prodigious feats of
farming as are achieved on any winter
evening by the wise and busy groups
there circied round the great hot
stow or any Saturday on the side
walk in front of the store. Nothing
is impossible for these willing work
ers and while it might be difficult to
transfer this stimulating influence to
the farm it certainly is worth trying.
results if successful would mean
a tremendous gain in every branch
of farming.

BEATTY IN FLOWER BOXES.

Nothing SO softens and beauties a
stiff looking house-or any other kind
for that matteI-as windo boxes.
Make a box eight inches deep and
ten inches wide. Use only rich black
soil to fill it. A bucket full of ferti-
lizer worked into the soil will improve
it.
Fill the box level full and then let
1t stand for a week. Then stir up the
soil to loosen it and plant.
Ferns should be planted in the rear
of the box. Between them place ger
aniums, red or pink preferred.
In the front of these plant a row
of purple ageratum seed and for good
mix in a few of candytuft.
For a front row plant sweet alys-
sum. The alySsum will fall over the
front of the box and form a pretty
bord er.
Give the plants plenty of room to
Grow and they will make a better ap-
pearance than many in one box, stun
ted for ack Of room.
For a large porch box with plenty
may take the place OF the sweet aIys-
sum.
Other flowers suitable for boxes are
growing plants.
When the plants raised from seeds,
are an inch high thin them out to
about two inches apart.
The box should be watered daily,
and evening, especially if it
is exposed to the sun all day.

TOBACCO ACREAGE INCREASED.

i,aSNcI1 1ouIlN
From reports which have been re-
ceiyed from the different sections Of
the county, we are advised that the
farmers have, practically finished the
planting of this years tobacco crop.
We take it that there is no reduction
in acreage from the preceding year;
in fact we are OF the opinion that,
there has been an increase. There is
a question of ~far-reaching material

age of tobacco has been increased at

one. A few days e We had a con-

Commercial tobacco fertilizers in the
county: he stated that his sales had
increased over last year about % per
cent, while the average price per ton
had increased from $22.25 to $24.50
and he gave the opinion, hat there
has been sold, in aggregate, by all
the agents doing business in the coun-
ty between a quarter and a half a
million dollars worth Of fertilizers.
These s~tupendious figures should
cause us to consider we'll where we
are drifting.

SEEING THE BLACK HILLS
Scheme on Foot to Advertise
Their Scenic Beauties
Next Year.

A scheme is on foot to advertise
the scenic beauties of the Black Hills
next year more extensively than has
ever been done before. The plan was
proposed by w. S. Elder of this city,
an attorney and active member of the
Deadwood Business Club. 1t includes
the organization of regular daily and
weekly trips from this point h, ~.
and auto to all the points of interest
around the Hills, such as the Bad
Lands east Of Rapid City, Rapid Can
yon, Hot Springs, Mammoth cave,
Cave of the Winds, Crystal cave, Har-
ney peak, Sylvan Lake, Speartish can
yon, Fort Meade, United States fish
hatcheries, United States reclamation
project at Belle Fourche and the
DEVILS tower over the line in Wyom-
ing. These trips are to be made for
the tourist trade especially and to be
under the regulation and supervision
of the Deadwood Business club. The
railroads are to be asked to take a
hand in disseminating advertising
matter in the east and a start is to be
made to build up the Black Hills as a
summer resort.-Deadwoo dispatch

H rses Shot for Chambers
SAMUEL G. Policy,
Secretary Of State.

The state veterinarian was in town
last week inspecting stock. He shot
three head of horses for Will Mitchell
on account OF the equines showing
strong systems of glanders. Several
other head belong to MIR. Mitchell
were quarantined, but they were not
very badly affected, the CHAMBERS be-
ing in the dry stage, and not contag-
ious. There should be a law in South
Dakota providing that all persons who
have horses destroyed on account of
CHAMBERS by orderof the state veterin-
arian should receive at least half of
the value Of the animals killed. Sew
eral other states have adopted this
law and there is no reason why South
Dakota should be an exception. About
Two years ago some valuable horses
were inspected and ordered shot on
the grounds that they showed strong
symptoms OF glanders, but the state
veterinarian declares that they were
not affected. The owner never re-
ceiyed cent for his animals. Wall
