Frank y. Byrne was nominated for
governor by the republicans of South
Dakota on Tuesday, winning out over
Egan and Gull by a majority that is
expected to be above five thousand.
Theodore Roosevelt is the choice of
the republicans of the state for presi-

a majority that is expected to be be-
tween ten and twelve thousand. La

in the race.
Last night the Curtiss headquarters
at Aberdeen conceded the nomination
of Congressman Burke in this district
by 500 majority. Curtiss received a
good vote in his home county, but this
was overcome by big majorities for
Burke in Brookings and other pro,
gressive counties.

Even warm rain IS bad for
very young chicks and arrange
ments should be made so they can

good plan to keep a large kettle

the drinking vessels can be boiled

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The universal interest in the
problem OF increasing dairy profits
through the COW testing a>socia-
tions shows that dairy farmers are
willing to learn better WAYS when
they have convincing proof to sus-
tain a theory.
Some dairy farmers who are pro
ducing veal and cream from the
same COWS milk the COWS partially
and let the calves finish. Pretty
rich feed for the calves for the fat
content Of the first milking is about
per cent fat \ little dairy edu-
cation would save SIoo a year in
many dairies in this one point
alone.
Ii Young stock are reduced to
starvation rationS IN drOuth-
stricken pasture they not only
cease to grow but they suffer let
down III condition from which they
are very slow to recover.

PROVIDING SAFE HOMES
FOR BIRDS.

Lovers of birds in every part Of
our land and also the United States
Department Of Agriculture are
urging people everywhere to do
everything in their power to at
tract and protect our native song
birds.
In winter this may be accom-
plished by feeding the birds when
the land IS covered with ice and
snow. In spring people are urged
to put up nesting boxes where the
birds may make their homes and
rear their Young In summer these
little feathered neighbors need
human protection to shield their
Young from the attacks Of cats.
Are you going to join the ranks
Of the bird protectors Of this land !?
If you are now is the time to show
your loyalty to your feathered
friends. Make some nesting houses
and get them up at once. The
nest made from tree limbs
song birds are worth protecting
and should be provided with places

they will begin to collect material
with which to line them and make
them soft and 'comfey" for their
families.
Any small wooden box may be
converted into house Use thir
smooth boards for the root. Place
a board beneath the house to kecI
the cats from climbing up to the

CORN CURLS WHEN THE
MOISTURE is SCARCE.

the field YOU may be sure that the
plant is doing its best to make the
little moisture that is III the ground
go as far as possible. On the un-
der side Of the leaf are the exhaling
tubes of the plant, that is those
which breathe outward When
there is plenty Of moisture in the
ground these little tubes remain
wide open When the moisture in
the ground becomes deficient then
these little pores IN the leaf close
up in order to keep as much mois-
ture as possible in the ground and
the closing Of these pores draws
the leaf together in a roll.
The curling Of the leaves is
wise provision of nature, as it pre-
serves the existence Of the plant
until the moisture increases.
OF course when the leaves begin
to curl the plant suffers considera-
bly, and the yield Of the crop is like
ly to be much reduced unless the
moisture comes quickly.
Many farmers believe that moth
ing can be done to prevent this );
but not so. Just look over your
field and YOU will find that the curl
ing is greatest III certain places
where the blowing was shallow, as
at the end Of rows or around
stumps and other places where the
plow could not go deeply or where
the ground had been tramped by
animals.
Corn curls more easily too on
thin soil or hard pan or where the
clay comes too near the surface.
Take field of this kind Of soil and
another which has been deeply
plowed and is we'll filled with
hunus and the difference will be
quite noticeable. Soil that is
loose, and friable to depth Of SIX
or eight inches will hold moisture
mitch longer than other soils anC
therefore the corn plant will no
suffer nearly as much or as quickly
IN case of drouth as that on light
or thin soil.
To prevent corn curling, there
