GROWING

WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE.
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount OF money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada. that many
other products Of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas Of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large. and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir.
ty, forty. and as high as fifty bushels
per acre Of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual In other parts Of the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention.
but what Of oats. which yield forty.

ten bushels per acre and carry on h
worlds prize. which. by the way. was
also done by wheat raised In Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then.
there is the barley. with its big yields.
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and a big M is fax.
The growing Of fax is extensively car
ried on In Western Canada. The
writer has before him q circular Is
sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment Of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting. and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding. imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds Of seed per acre and had a
yield Of t~wenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose Of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken Of there is cited the case Of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
acres Of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre.. when
many in the district harvested for
want Of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such q
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands OF the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same This year (l911) the
same man had one hundred acres OF
summer fallow. had something over
$500 bushels Of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 800 bushels
Of flax"

cation by the Government agents.

Coupons Paid in Drinks
Violation of the Law.

Pierre.-The Belle Fourche city at
torney has made inquiry of the attor-
ney general concerning whether or
not a club In that city called "The An
cient Order of Owls" Is violating the
state liquor laws for selling intoxi-
cants without a license. The club
seems to be modelled on the Elks and
the Business Mems club of Deadwood,
and sells coupon books of the value of
81, with 5 and 10-cent coupons redeem
able in liquor. The steward will not
accept money directly in payment, but
insists on the presentation of coupons
by club members to secure the drinks.
Attorney General Johnson has held
that this is a violation Of the state
liquor law and advises prosecution of
the steward or manager.
Another question has come up re-
garding the county grain act. 1t is
whether or not the county can buy
grain on it's credit and sell for cash.
The opinion holds not. in that the law
contemplates the furnishing of grain
on credit to the poor, and the buying
and selling for cash would be uncon-
stitutional.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1882. | became afflicted with
boils. which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form Of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being inlamed
most OF the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better. and In fact
got worse all the time. SO much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part Of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which ! did, TAX.
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores.
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until ! was
we'll again, and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble since. which is
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since. and have great faith In
them as remedies for skin diseases"

Artesian Salt Water
Used for Irrigation.

Perre.-The aresian water in the
gas belt of South Dakota contains a
considerable percentage of sodium
chloride or common salt, and for that
reason has very generally been copsid-
cred unfit for irrigation.
State Engineer Lea does not concur
in this opinion, holding that with care
full manipulation that this gas-artesian
water can be successfully used for
irrigation. In accordance with his rec
concentrations a s%prinkling system for
~irrigating the lawns of the state capt.
tol grounds has been constructed,
wherein the water from the state
house gas well is permitted to cool
in an open pond, from which it is
pumped by an electric pump into the
mains. This water contains four parts
OF salts per thousand. In order that
this water may be used successfully,
the engineer recommends that large
quantities be used in order 60 do away
with the accrued salts, and that good,
natural or artificial drainage is i'm
perative.
Mr.. Lea took the matter up with the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and learned that in 1902 a repre-
sentative Of the department visited
the Sahara desert, where artesian wa
ter, containing as high as so parts Of
soluble matter, sometimes with as
high as so per cent of the salts So
dunn chloride, was successfully used
for the watering of fruits, grains, veg
etables and alfalfa. This water was
found to be especially effective for use
on date palms.

connected with the Red Cross pharma-
cy of this city, food and drug inspec-
tor. Mr.. Schall will not begin his du-
ties as such for several weeks, how

The annual report of the food and
drug commissioner for the year end.
ing July 1, 1911, has just been re-
ceived from the printer. 1t comprises
about 120 pages and describes the
work Of the department for the past
fiscal year. Over LOO foods and
drugs have been analysed during the
year, which is a much greater number
than in any year in the previous his.
tory Of the department. More prose.
cutions for violation of the food and
drug laws have been made during this
one year than in all other previous
years combined, the department hav.
ing been in operation more than 10
years. The department is now devot.
ing its chief attention to remedying
the conditions Of drugs sold in the
state, where such adulteration has ex.
listed in the past.
About a dozen druggists have been
recommended for prosecution in the
last few weeks, about half Of these
cases having eliminated with a con.
viction and fine in every case. The
remaining cases are now pending in

School of instruction
in Automobile DRIVING.

Brookings.-The South Dakota state
college at BrookingS announces a de-
parture from the ordinary in educa-
tional work in offering its new short
course in practical automobile instruc-
ton to begin April 2. This course,
which will continue for three weeks,
will be of a very practical nature and
will be devoted largely to the study of
The construction, care and operation
of the automobile. The professors of
engineering of the state college go on
the assumption that while almost any
one can manipulate an automobile on
the road, yet but few people know
how to operate a machine so as to in
sure safety to the mechanism as we'll
as economy in general running ex-
penses.
The state college will furnish plen-
ay of automobiles for giving each stu
dent practice in taking the machine
apart and after thorough examination
reassemble them again ready for use.
Thorough instruction will be given on
the construction of the automobile in
all it's minor details; the gas engine
and its parts; ignition: electrical sys-
tens: cooling systems and the mech
anism in general. In connection with
this practical work there will be Civ
en- lecture courses by the various pro-
fessors in the department Of engineer
ing on various types of engines and
automobile machinery. The engineer
ing department also offers a practical
course on the relation between the au-
tomobile and road construction.
Inasmuch as the charge for this
course will be 81 it is expected that
there will be q large attendance.

Men Study Cooking.

Brookings.-Sixteen young men of
the short course in agriculture at the
state college are studying the science
of cooking, under the direction of Miss
Amy Kelly, an instructor in the school
of agriculture. This course is not
regularly offered to male students,
but upon request from the sixteen
boys a special class was organized.
Their instructor reports them to be un-
usually apt. Indeed, they are not cor.
binary hashers." Short orders
eggs over" Adam and Eve on a
raft (safe or wrecked), minute pud.
ding" Johnny cake" etc, have long
since been mastered and give way to
the mysteries of making good bread.
BE it known, however, that these
young men have reasons for invading
the domain of their fairer classmates.
Many of them are planning to keep
bachelors quarters for a few years,
either on western homesteads or or
new farms, and are studying cookery
in self defense.

Homes for Indians.

Pierre.-The Sioux Indians living on
the Rosebud reservation, which is one
OF the largest in area and population
in the country, will this year have a
practical demonstration of the fact
that Uncle Sam is a generous white
father" The government authorities
on the reservation, in accordance with
instructions from Washington, now
are calling the attention of contractors
to the fact that with the opening of
spring a large number Of modern
dwelling houses will be erected at diff
ferent points on the reservation for
the Indians. These new dwellings
will displace the log and other print.
tive houses in which the Indians have
lived, and will enable them to live in

PLANS ARE CHANGED
DAKOTA MILITIA WILL MEET iH
SPARTA, WIS, INSTEAD OF
FORT RUSSELL,
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and DIFF
ferent Parts of TIE
State,

Watertown.-Adjt. Gen. c. II. En-
glesby Of this city has received notice
from the war department at Washing
ton that the state troops will be sent
to the camp at Sparta, Wis,
instead of to Fort Russell, Wyo., as
was previously announced. The rea-
son given for the change is that it
would cost the government about
twice as much to send troops to Fort
Russell as to Sparta. The maneuvers
will be held some time in July, and
will be participated in by the militia
troops of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin
and a part Of Illinois as we'll as from
this state.
The South Dakota militia will con
centrate at Camp Roosevelt, near this
city, for four or five days target prac-
tice before going to the maneuvers,
and it is probable that an officers
school will be conducted here, also,
preceding the concentration Of the
state troops.
Gen. Englesby, while believing that
the militia will not be called upon to
go to the Mexican border, at the same
time the war department has called
upon his office for considerable infor-
nation in regard to a possible call,
and all necessary details have been
worked out covering a possible move
ment 10 that country. In this connec-
ton Gen. Englesby says:
Should the trouble in Mexico come
to a point where the services of the
state troops would be required they
could be concentrated at Camp Roose-
welt, near Watertown, inside Of "a
hours. fully equipped, and they could
be recruited up to the full war
strength in an additional "a hours. The
organization is now in better condi-
ton than it eve was, as far as being
ready for the field is concerned"
