All the crops mentioned make good

hard, however. to preserve the oats
unless they are we'll cut. The same
is true of all the cereal crops. The
common practice in SLIDING clover is
to cut it when in full bloom, or when
the first heads are beginning to wilt.
Better let it get little overripe than
to cut it too green. Ii it gets we'll

water, and in fact many dairymen
prefer letting it get fairly dry and
then adding water when put in the

How to Build a SiIo

| be secured from the book "Modern
Silage Methods published by the
Silver Manufacturing Co., of Salem,
Ohio. Send for one of these.
Silo floors, if built on solid ground,
can be made by first leveling and
| tamping the ground we'll and then
putting two or three inches of cement
mixed, one part cement to three to
four parts of sand and gravel. If in
sandy or loose soil about five inches
may be necessary. 1t should be made
perfectly level so as to aid the silage
in settling evenly.
For hoops, "a inches round iron or
steel rods are generally used Each
hoop should be in three sections for
silo IL feet in diameter. In four
sections for silo 16 feet in diameter.
The bottom hoop should be six inches
from the foundation. The second
hoop should not be more than two
feet from the first. The third hoop
should be two and one-half feet from
the second. The distance between
the hoops should be increased by six
inches until they are three and one
half feet apart, which distance should
be maintained to the top. The hoops
should be drawn fairly tight before
the silo is filled, but not perfectly
tight. They must be tight enough to
close up the space between the slaves
thus preventing the leaves from get
ting into the cracks, which would
prevent the slaves from closing up as
they swelled. Ii the hoops are too
tight at first they should be loosened
little for a few days after the silage
is put in.
The size of silo needed for 20 cows
will depend on the length of time the
silage is to be fed. For a feeding
period of 24O days and feeding 40
pounds daily per head to 20 COWS,
which means one and one-half inches
off the top of IA feet diameter silo,
it would need to be thirty feet high,
and will hold 90 tons.
1t is not absolutely necessary to have
roof, although in extremely wet
climates and where there is much
snow it is we'll to have some covering.
Anything that will shed the water
will do, but from the standpoint of
appearance, conical roof made of
pieces sawed diagonaly from a 1x8-1

WE WANT REPRESEN.
TATION IN SENATE
DIVISION OF STATE INTO SENATORIAL
DISTRICTS A KNOTN
PROBLEM

Our state constitution fixes the
limit as to numeber of senators at
As and that of representatives at
I35 The limit has already been
reached so far as senators are con-
cerned. Under the present arrang-
meat Minnehaha, Lawrence and
Brown counties have two members
of the upper house and most of the
other counties comprise district
having one senator. however as in
the case of the sparsely settled
counties just east of the river, two
and in two or three instances three
counties are joined together as one
senatorial district.
AT the present time the counties
of Harding, Perkins, Trip. Dewey
and Corson have no representation
in either house. AS the total num-
Der of representatives is only 81,
of course there ought to be no diff
ficulty in having Dewey county
made a district entitled to one
representative. but in order that
the counties just named be given
representation in the upper house
some of the older counties east of
the river will have to give up
some of their senators or be joined
with other counties as one district.
We presume this will result in no
small amount of mathematical cal
culation as all organized counties
should have representation in both,
houses yet such representation
must be apportioned according to
The matter of arrang-
ing senatorial districts is therefore
no small job. Dewey and Corson
counties and possibly some other
will probably comprise one sena-
torial district undert the new arrang-
ment.

TABLES TURNED ON PALMER
1nveterate Joker Gets Real Jolt When
He 6um,s up Against
German.

A good story is told of Congress-
man H. W. (Hank) Palmer Of
Wilkes Barre, Pa.
Hank has the reputation of being
quite a story teller, and is at all
times ready to spring something
funny at the other fellows expense,
but it happened that this time

1t was back in the early eighties,
when the scarf stickpins were SO

who is typical German, and very
unassuming, to turn the joke on the
funny Hank, who had been having
a lot of fun with his Irish potato
bug, till he ran across the little COM
missioner, who eyed tho pin very
closely, but failed to make any re-
mark about it, fearing that Hank
had some joke attached to it.
Honn was about to walk away,
when Hank said to him: "Mr. Honn,
what do you think Of my new pin ?"
Mr.: Honn adjusted his heavy
glasses, scrutinized the pin very
closely, and asked: Hank. vot iss

THE FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
American Cities Are Adopting Plan
for tuberculosis Children Which
Has Worked Well In Germany.

Fresh air schools, started and still
conducted to care for tuberculous
children, promise to have an impor-
tant influence upon the entire pub
lie school system. They are still
new in America, having been in use
in Providence two years, in Boston
something more than a year and for
shorter periods in Chicago. Pitts
burg, Rochester and Hartford. They
have been fully tried out in Ger
many, where they have been varied
into open air supmer schools and
forest schools. In no place where
they have been tried have they been
abandoned. In most places they are
being extended. Thus far the
schools have included only the ply
sically weak and the mentally back
ward. With plenty of fresh air and
sanitary surroundings, these weak
and defective children have been
able to accomplish more than nor
NAL children in the ordinary schools.
In some cases progress has been ex-
ceptionally rapid. While the minds
develop as they never developed be-
fore, the bodies grow strong and
children are given chance in life,-

RAILROAD AT LAST
REACHES FAITH


Nearly year ago when announce
ment was made that over in the
northeastern corner of Meade
county the Milwaukee road had
plated town and given it the
name of Faith, every one was
struck with the queer sounding
appellation. Subsequent history
however has shown that it was not
misnomer for no other word
found between the lids of a diction-
ary would have been so appropriate.
At noon on Friday last, the
track laying machine put down the
last rails which made Faith a rail-
road town. Not only was Faith
thus coupled up with the rest of
the world but incidently the Mil
waukee road completed the per-
formance of a most unusual task
the putting down of so miles of
road in mid winter.
Faith is I3I miles from Mo-
bridge. The first town this way
is Arrowhead, distance of 2
miles. Then comes Red Elm.
The third place is Dupree. then
Lantry, then Eagle Butte which is
about As miles distant from Faith.
The only stop from Eagle Butte to
Cheyenne Junction is at the siding
known as White Horse. We do
not know what the train service
Willsb in the future but at present
a train runs from Cheyenne Junct-
ion to Faith making connection
with the Moreau branch at the
former place.
The Faith Gazette felt so thank
full by the important event that it
could not express its feelings ade-
quately without some scriptural
quotations. For instance. its read
ers arc reminded that the just

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKEUP
Frank keenan, pays especial attention to
the makeup" He saye:
when I have q new role to create
treat my face Just as an artist does his
paper or canvas. With grease paints I
make sketch after sketch thereon, al
ways seeking to produce likeness which
will be instantaneously recognized by the
public as expressing the common idea OF
what such q character should look like.
Moreover. I endeavor to get away from
the make-ups of other actors In similar
parts On the stage 1t is much as 1t is
in everyday life. There is as much ap-
probation of originality In stage makeup
as there is In other things. Many a
poor actor has been rated fine solely
because his make-ups were original"

1t is well known that Dolly Madison
