THREE MITCHELL MEN ARE Ac-
cUsED OF HAVING A sMooTH
GAME TO STEAL PoRciNEs
HAPP ENINGs OVER THE STATE
Whit Is Going On Here and There
That L. Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Ds-
kota and Vicinity.

Mitchell.-Walter McClintock, Otis
French and Ed Sharp were bound over
In the justice court on the charge of
stealing hogs, the former in $500, and
the latter, who were the stronger Of
tenders, in $1,000 bonds. The men
were charged with stealing nine hogs,
valued at SIS each, and it is alleged
that it has been going on since last
February. These men had a novel
scheme for getting away with the ami
mails. Large droves of hogs are ship
ped to this city from the surrounding
section of the state, and are held here
for a week pending shipment to Seat
tie and Tacoma, Wash.
The men have been taking from six
to eight head OF hogs from each ship
ment and selling them from one buyer
10 the other. Sharp being the repre-
sentative of one of the buyers and this
made it an easy matter to dispose Of
the hogs and also to get them. Nc
Clintock, who is a farmer, was used
as the stool pigeon, and was supposed
to have the large supply or hogs which
were being sold. Ii is alleged that
this work has been going on since last
February and that the men engaged in
it have cleaned up a large sum of
money.

What are you breeding-lice, mites
or poultry?
Look to the comforts of your stock
II you want good results.
It's more profitable to feed poultry
than it is to feed vermin.
Kaffir corn is considered a stimulat.
ing grain by the pigeon breeders.
Nux vomica is a good stimulant and
appetizer IL fed In moderate doses.
Preparations are frequent in yards
that have no shade these hot days.
The poultry business is a legal
business, and yet we must have wa.
tered stock to do business.
A hen, if given the opportunity

Feed your poultry very little corn,
IL any, these hot days; the mites a

bite the dust"
Good breeding and exhibition stock
Is scarce this year, and will be scarcer
after "Johnny-on-the-spot" get
through selecting his.
Now that ducks have stopped laying
turn them out to pasture, feed lightly
and give lots of shade, as ducks arc
very susceptible to heat.
Spray once or twice a month with 6
kerosene emulsion or some other
good Cisinfectant and use lime with q
little sulphur added in the nest boxes.
Speaking from observations and not
from experience breezy hens are like

Woman Injured by Hayrake.

Avon.-Mrs. Adolph Heb, residing
with her husband on a farm near
Avon, was seriously injured as the
result of her horses running away
while she was operating a hay rake
for her husband. She was thrown
from her seat directly under the rake,
and before her husband, who was
working nearby, could rush to her as
sstance and stop the horses, she was
badly cut and bruised. Among her
more serious wounds are two pune
lures in the back of her head. which
doubtless were made by the teeth OF
the rake. When rescued she was I'M
conscious and it was a number of
hours before she regained her senses,
since which time she has been in a
serious condition.

When new corn begins to harden,
whether sweet or field corn, it may

they will secure bugs, worms and

When they have reached full height
all those intended for market should

ground feed and skim milk for three
weeks. An average of two pounds

KEEP LITTLE ONES GROWING
Young Chicks, When Allowed to
Range, Are Too Often Neglected
and Become Stunted.

(By N. E.. CHAPMAN, Poultryman. Min
nesota College OF A~griculture.)
Most chicks are well fed and cared
for while their mothers are confined
in coops; but when allowed to range
regular feeding is too often neglect
ed, and al a result growth is retarded
and they become what is termed
%"stunted." 1t appears from statistics
furnished by produce dealers that but
seven per cent. of spring chicks mar
keted weigh four pounds December /.
BY this time all the spring stock of
the general purpose breeds, like the
Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons and
Reds, should average at least six
pounds live weight. Plymouth Rocks
have been made to weigh seven
pounds dressed, at Thanksgiving time,
by judicious feeding for growth and
development while on range.
When the chicks are weaned at
six or eight weeks and are on range,
their grain ration, with grit and char
coal, may be supplied in hoppers. The
hoppers should be SO placed or so
constructed that the old fowls will not
rob the chicks or drive them away.
A small inclosure, made of lath and
covered with wire, will admit the
chicks and keep others from fright
ening or molesting the chicks while
eating. Coops of ample space SHOULD
be furnished, well ventilated, but Sc
cure from the depreciation of night
providers. The coops, utensils and

prepared by the individual. Also give
