ted With Good Majorities--
Martin, Burke Wins.
REPUBLICANS INCOUNTY
Republicans All Elected In Fall Rive,
County-.Henault, Democrat For
Senator.

Governor Vessey has been reelected
governor of South Dakota by possible
plurality of 5000, and the entire state
republican ticket are returned winners,
all with comfortable margins. Burke
for congress is reported as running
about twenty five per cent higher than
Martin and Martins vote will perhaps
De about twelve per cent above that
received by Vessey. Reports all over
the state have been sent in very slowly
and even at this late date, altho the
election is conceded the plurslities
are hard to accurately determine. Not
much on the amendments has as vet
been reported. The wet and dry pro-
position or county option matter is re-
ported as being won by the vets by
about eight thousand.
A reported statement from Willis @.
Cook, chairman of the republican state
committee, taken from one of today's
dailies is as follows:
1--WE claim that Governor Vessey and
the full republican state ticket has
been elected by majority of not less
than $4,000 over the democrats. Indi-
cations are that that the majorities for
congressman Martin and Burke will
run above that figure"
In the county everything went re-
publican. Bentley for representative
was reelected over Mckay by 215
margin. Whaley and Botham ran the
closest race of any on the county
ticket. Whaley, the republican candi-
date for re election to the office of

votes. Jensen and Harrigan for
sheriff had the widest difference. Jen.

cratic candidate. Henault, the demo-
cratic candidate for state senator is
conceded the election over Tubbs by

two counties comprising this district.
Those named above are only the op.

BIG CORN PRIZES.

The Hoosier State was very much in evidence at the national corn show
 held in Omaha ill December. F. c. Palin of Newton, Ind, won the prize fo" the best single ear of corn and also the Kellogg trophy, valued at $1,OO0; J. k. Overstreet of Franklin got first prize on the best ten ears of corn and also the $1,00O trophy put up by the Indiana Corn Growers association, while c. L. Kerlin exhibited the best bushel, or seventy ears, of corn and received therefor prizes aggregating $500. This makes the third consecu- tive year that Indiana has won the leading prizes at the national corn show. MT. Palin states that his prize ear was the result of seven painstak- ing years of seed selection, the seed
 which produced the prize ear being de- scended from Reid's Yellow Dent and the Alexander Gold Standard. Judges pronounced the ear in question by far the superior of any ever exhibited. It's kernels were three-fOurths of an inch deep, with very little room left for cob.

OILED ROADS GOOD.

The people of Sedan, Kan. have had good object lesson the past season in the use of oil as an aid in road making. A mile of road running south of the town was oiled at an expense in crude petroleum and dragging the road of $50. The road was well round ed, and the oil was applied in May and when once packed down was firm and smooth, much resembling asphalt The road is the talk of the farmers of the locality, and they will go a long way to get a drive over 1t. In Cal ifornia, where crude oil is generally used as dressing for highways, the same results are noted, it being neces- sary to apply oil but once a year after the road iH put in shape. The oil road Is not only dustless, but quiet and very light in wear and tear on horses and vehicles.

PRUNING THE ORCHARD.

The best time in which to do prun- ing work in the orchard is from Feb. on to blossom time. Were it possible to get all of this work done at one fell swoop the best time for it would be the week just before the blossom buds open, as from this time on is the pe- riod of quickest growth and hence most rapid healing of pruning cuts. But since the work cannot be done in week it has to be started earlier and extended through a period of several weeks. For the one learning the or chard business a few simple directions will be helpful. Aside from giving the tree the type of head, low or high, whichever may be desired, by means of the pruning process, all cross limbs, those that rub one another and water sprouts should be cut out. In choice between two limbs the one should be left which is more vigorous and will at the same time add most to the sym metry of the tree and its value as fruit producer. The head of the tree should be kept sufficiently thinned so that a good sized cat can be thrown through from almost any direction. More exactly, 1t shoNid be kept open enough so that the spray rod may be inserted to the center without incon- venience and the work of picking the fruit done without a fellows having his shirt torn off.
 With trees which have a tendency to spread too much one should prune the outspreading branches to an inside bud or shoot which will tend to give an upright growth. With trees of the upright habit of growth breadth of top may be secured by pruning the upright limbs to outside buds. No two trees are exactly alike, and on this account each presents an individual problem for the pruner, who must be guided to some extent by the ideal tree type he has in mind, but even more largely by the needs and possibilities of each in dividual tree. Like boys and girls, trees to attain their best must be given continuous attention, 1t not be- ing possible in the case of pruning any more than in the case of training to do all of the work at one time. Best results are obtained where it is started early and persisted in carefully until maturity is reached.

CORN FREAKS FROM PERU.

Two cereal freaks exhibited at corn shows held the past season have been the primitive or wild husk corn, in which each kernel is incased in a husk of its own, as in the case of grains of wheat, and the giant Cuzco corn, grown in Peru, South America The husk corn is supposed to be the parent of the varieties of cultivated Amcri- can maize, the husk of the original type being reduced to the light chaff to be found messing the germ of pres ent day corn. The kernel of the primi- tive corn is short, nearly round and finty in character and about one-third of the size of an average kernel of corn. Samples of the Peru corn ex- hibited were twenty-two inches long and fourteen inches in circumference, the kernels being three-quarters of an inch long, nearly as broad and having a surface as large as a nickel.

A reader of these notes told us the other day that he was nearly mobbed once for making a suggestion in a meeting of the patrons of a creamery of which he was q director that a res olution be passed requiring all cows supplying cream to the creamery be tested for tuberculosis. He added that as a result of using the buttermilk from this creamery for his pigs about half of them were infected with tuber- culosis as. result of eating it. It does not require great stretch of imagina- tion to suppose that the conditions here referred to could be duplicated in thousands of places all through the dairy sections.

When the owners of fruit ranches in the Grand valley. Colorado, fought frost last spring it was done on C.'and scale. The mature value of the fruit on the trees was placed at $3.- C@0O00. and it was this stake the own c.5 worked for Over an area of twen- ty-seven miles the temperature was raised from to 0 degrees r. by means of 100000 fire pots. part of which burned oil for fuel and part coal. All operations in the fighting of the frost were directed from Grand Junction br means of telephone con- nections with weather stations here and there over the valley, from which reports as to the temperature were re- ceived every half hour. When the dan ger point approached the signal for lighting the fires was given, and they were kept up as long as there was need. Tn the manner described 70 per cent of all the fruit trees in bloom were cared for directly, while the trees of many a skeptical ranch owner were protected from frost damage by the fires in adjacent orchards.

Now and then one wishes to stop a newspaper or magazine It is very easily done. First pay the subscrip- tion in full to the time when it is or dered stopped and notify the local postmaster that you want him to or der the publication discontinued. at the same time refusing to take it from your box, and see to it that it is not taken out by any member of your fam fly. If this does not stop the paper coming, instruct the postmaster to send a second notice to the publisher and keep showing the paper back. If 1t keeps coming after this, the postmaster throws 1t into the wastebasket, which me2pS an end of the nuisance.

The boy and girl will give fair in- dication of the kind of grown folks they will be by the kind of reading they do in their spare hours. The kind of reading they will do will depend to quite an extent upon the kind of books placed in their hands, whether inspir- ing, stultifying or positively pernicious. It is at this point that the good judg- ment of the parents should come in and where q very heavy responsibility rests with them for what they do or do not supply. Good books and maga- zines were never cheaper, and it's q very destitute home which cannot pro- vide few of the best and most whole some.

It is a quite generally accepted fact that apples from an orchard kept in sod are better colored, but smaller in size, than those from trees given con tinuously clean cultivation. A further fact that seems to have been demon stratcd is that the trees under the lat ter condition not only attain greater size. but produce a considerably larger quantity of fruit

Generally speaking. roup in chickens is a chronic ccld or Catarrh brought on by housing under damp and unfavora- ble conditions or allowing the flock to roost where direct drafts will strike them. Dry feet and freedom from drafts are the best prcventives. Roup is not only brought on by the condi- tions referred to, but is contagious as we'll when once it gets foothold.

Many a native milk COW is cheap at $60 or $70 as q producer of butter fat, while many another, possibly better bred, would be q costly investment at $1O. It is not cows appearance, but the cash margin lying between total annual returns from her products and the cost of her feed, that determines her worth as a factor in the dairy.

Many an animal abundantly equip ped with pedigree is put up at the dispersion sale as a full blooded ami nal fit for breeding purposes when in appearance and getup it is essentially a scrub and instead of becoming sire or dam-the progenitor of other scrubs ought to be converted into beefsteak or pork chops and it's pedigree used to light the fire. Atavism, this tend ency in an animal to show scrub traits of an ancestor, is perhaps more often seen in cattle than in sheep or hogs. but when it or other disqualifi~ cations appear in any pedigreed ami mal it should serve as bar to its sale as breeding animal.

The practice followed by some of feeding spoiled or moldy corn or grain with q view to saving it is very questionable one, merely from the standpoint of dollars and cents, often impairing the condition and retarding the development of a feeding animal to an extent greater than the value of the feed involved. It is safe to as- sume that it is much the same with animals as with human beings-that what they do not eat with relish does them little good and often harm.

The job of basting the roasting fowl may be simplifed if it is not supplied with a good coat of natural fat if slices of salt pork are stuck on to the legs and breast with toothpicks, the melting fat serving the same purpose as the basting and preventing the up per portions from being baked too hard. The strips should be removed from twenty minutes to half an hour before the baking process is completed so that the bird may be evenly browned

At the land and irrigation show held lately ill Chicago one interesting eX hibit was samples of woven materials made from Arizona cotton, which pass ed the highest grade tests for Egyptian cotton. In view of the fact that the United States imports annually $16.- 0O0,000 of this product, the discovery that there are large areas in Arizona suited to the production of this type of cotton is a most interesting and valu- able one.

 grow too close in the right direction by pulling them out to the proper posi- tion and inserting a cornstalk brace of the desired length.
