Demand for Good Breeds.

There is strong demand at good
prices for good breeding stock and
eggs of pure bred strains of poultry.
All you need to do is to get some
good breed and grow enough of them
to make it worth while and the rest
is easy. Only let people know that
you have them by advertising a little
and there will be no trouble in dis
posing of all you can raise. 1t is the
least trouble and the safest to keep
only one breed. There is too much
chance of mixing if more than one
breed is kept.

ms IN WHICH Inc GSy pIichAo
buried their dead are still preserved
In perfect condition after thousands
of years of service.
The longevity of timber under these
two extremes of climate and moisture
conditions has naturally made people
ask, what causes wood decay? The
answer is, fungi and bacteria, low
forms of plant life which live in the
wood and draw their nourishment
from it, The little organisms are SO
little that a microscope is required to
see them, yet their work results in
the destruction of billions of feet of
timber each year and the railroad cor
poration with it's cross tie bill running
up into seven figures and the farmer
who spends a hundred or so dollars
a year for fence posts are alike draw
ing upon the knowledge of experts in
all parts of the world in efforts to
learn the most economical and most
satisfactory method of preserving
wood against the inroads of decay. In
studying the means of preventing de-
cay ood-preserving experts have
learned many things about the OBJ
noxious fungi which sap the life of
timber.
The small organisms can grow
either in light or In total darkness;
but all of them require requisite
amounts of air, food, moisture and
heat. If one or more of these essen
tial requirements is lacking, they can
not live, and the decay of timber will
not take place Wood constantly sub
merged in water never rots, simply
because there is an insufficient sup
ply of air. This condition accounts
for the soundness of the old Baltic
piles. On the other hand, if wood
can be kept air-dry it will not decay
because there will then be too little
moisture. The timber used by the
Egyptians will last indefinitely SO long
as it is bone-dry.
There are a great many cases, how
ever, where 1t is impossible to keep
wood submerged in water, or in an alb
solutely air-dry condition. In fact, a
large percentage of the timber which
is used is exposed to the weather, and
is SuDJSCIGu W uOCdy ollnply OCSoOoO
it contains enough air and enough wa
ter for the decomposing organisms to
get a foothold. Decay is most seri-
GUS where the atmosphere is warm
and damp, because these conditions
are most favorable for its develop
ment. In the coal mines of Pennsyl-
vania timber decays in two or three
years because the temperature is
warm and constant and the air is
damp. And in the south, the warm,
humid atmosphere often causes the
timber to rapidly decompose.
Decay may be prevented by two gen
eral methods, by treating the WOOD
with antiseptics, thus poisoning the
food supply of the organisms which
cause decay and by treating it with
oils which render it waterproof. A
combination of these two methods is
most commonly used, as when wood is
treated with creosote which fills up
the pores in the timber and keeps out
water and is also a powerful antisep-
tic.

siders the Investigations of the pre-
servatiye treatment of timber of such
inheritance that the business of one

The fair and the true brunette may

In the case of the between color
type much depends upon the eyes.
If these have a tinge Of green in
them then the paler shades of blue
should be avoided and the tones of
pink chosen instead.
If, however, the eyes are blue, gray

SATIN AND SILK FAN BAGS
Many Charming Designs Shown-Al'
ways a Useful and Acceptable
Gift Between Girl Friends.

Fan bags are useful and very at
tractive gifts from girl to her friends
and there are some charming designs
for these bags among the recent
French importations. They are long
and narrow in shape and Of course II
thew are meant to be used for one or
the huge feather fans now in fashion
they must be very large indeed. Inc
ordinary sized fan, however. does
not require a large bag and as this
size fan is always more or less IN
fashion it is for it that the bag is
usually made.
Silk. satin and brocade are the ia
vorite materials for the fan bag. Some
of the new ones are made of pale col
ored satins with Innings of deeper col
ors and trimmings of ribbon, flowers
and fringe. A faint blue satin fan bag
was lined with rose satin and trimmed
with tiny satin flowers in pale blue,
rose and pink. Around the edge OF
the bag there was twist OF satin ana
this was edged with tiny gold
fringe. The top of the bag was drawn
I'D with a gold cord and finished with
gold fringe and little wreath OF the
satin flowers. A Powered silk bag was
covered with gold gauze, wreath OF
ribbon flowers being used over these.
This bag had fringe of the several col
ors of which the design of the mate
rial was composed.
For young girls charming design
for fan bag is of soft satin finished
silk trimmed with ruches OF narrow
valenciennes lace and drawn up with
a gold cord. The lining may be OF
white silk or of color contrasting
with the outer covering of the bag.

STATE TITLE
TO VERMILLION
STATE UNIVERSITY WINS FROM
COLLEGE.
BROOKINGS HAS NO CHANCE
AS VERMlLLlON ExCELS IN ALL
DEPARTMENTS OF THE GAME.

The state college football warriors
met disaster in their game with the
state university at Vermillion Mon
day, being defeated by the one-sided
score of 33 to 0. The Brookings team
was outclassed, the state university
boys being heavier, speodier and more
experienced and it was simply a romp
for them.
Brookings has two more hard games
left to play, with Mitchell and Rapid
City and if they win these the season
can be considered a fairly successful
one. One thing is certain, the college
must hustle for football me during the
coming year If we expect to stay in
the running in state athletics. This
year Coach Saunderson has had to
work with a squad averaging less than
$50 pounds to the man and the first
team men do not average over 1856.
With this kind of material no foot
ball championships will ever come our
way, and we think hat Mr.. Saunder-
son has done remarkably we'll to make
the showing he has. Next year we
hope for better results.
A dispatch from vermillion says of
Mondays game:
The 1910 football championship of
South Dakota was won today when
the University Of South Dakota de-
feated the Agricultural college play
ers, SO to 0. South Dakota thereby
maintains her record Of having
been beaten by a team In the state.
The one-sided score today was entirely
unexpected, as the Brookings men
were reputed to be fast on offense
and strong on defense, but the farm
ers never had a chance to win, and at
no stage gained consistently.
South Dakota showed her best de-
Tense OF the year, while the back field
worked almost perfectly. Only twice
were the Aggies within striking dis
tance of goal, but each time We're held
without gains.
Capt. Thackaberry was the star Of
the game, with c.. Coffey, Sheeks and p.
Coffee |crowdirg him close for honors
in spectacular runs. Rex Smith gain
cd many yards with his line plunges,
and it was his splendid interference
that made possible two t~ouchdowns.
"Sheeks scored first for South Da-
kota, when ne intercepted a forward
pass and ran thirty yards. T~rackaberry
scored the second touchdown, making
forty yards around right end, and on
the next play going twenty yards
through a broken field.
I'm the second period c.. Coffey fol-
lowed T~hackabcrry, scoring the second
touchdown, making forty yards around
right end, and on the next play going
twenty yards through a broken field.
I'm the second period G.. Coffey fol-
lowed Thackaberrys fifty-yard run
with thirty yards and a touchdown. A
forward pass in the third quarter
brought the ball close to goal, and
Smith, Oh two plunges, scored. He
duplicated the feat again three min
utes later. The last touchdown was
made by Fry through the line. When
time was called South Dakota had the
ball on the Aggies' 5-yard line"
