Walking for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want of pure
oxygen. They run like a network all
through the skin and when they are
overwrought the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
If one has means Of leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are so bene-
ficial as the regular daily jaunt of four
or FIVE miles for obtaining good com
plexion.

The Time to Prune Trees

For years II has been a disputed
question among fruit growers as 10
the best time of year to prune trees
This dispute appears to have come
down from the age of mythology.
The herbalists of two hundred years
ago are very explicit in their dlrec-
tions as to consulting the signs of the
zodiac, and the necessity for so do
ing in order to tell anything about
what the result would be from the
pruning operation.
The development OF the science of
plant physiology during the last hun.
dred years has generally brought this
and all other horticultural operations
on to a more logical basis. The sci
ence of plant growth, as we know II
today Indicates very plainly that any
pruning operations, however, indi-
Gates what time during the winter
gives the best results for this pur-
pose. Many growers favor the early
part of winter, others with apparently
as good reasons prefer to do the work
in early spring. In the larger COM
mercial paintings, which have come
into existence in II more favored or
chard sections, 1t is customary to be-
gin pruning as soon as the leaves
have fallen and keep It up on all days
when the weather permits through.
out the entire winter. Il is with
them, however, a question of getting
it done at all If they waited for any
particular time, spring would find
them with large part OF their prun-
ing undone. | have asked many per-
sons who had orchards of some size
in their charge whether they found
any difference in results of the prun.
ing done at different times during the
winter Their opinions are divided.
The more reliable apparently, think
there is no difference that is due to
the time of winter alone.
Most growers of peaches prefer to
prune late in the winter, after the
danger OF winter injury is past The
reason for this is because the prun-
ing will be modified according to the
number Of fruit buds killed. This,
however, has nothing toGdo with the
general question of whether there is
any advantage attached TO one por-
tion of the winter over all others.
The handling Of the limbs while the
wood is frozen appears to do injury
but the amount of this injury is a
matter of much dispute. Most or
chardists OF experience will not prune
trees at any time when the thermom-
eter registers below freezing. 1t is
very doubtful If these rules in regard
to freezing apply unless the gloved
hands come in contact with the
branches.-N. o. Booth, Dept. of Hor'
ticulture and Botany.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those OF the past
generation How did the women of
the middle class Of generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means: they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style TO
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals In
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs 10 evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons: in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made It easier for her by
doing likewise"

Sweet clover is a very coarse plant
rather closely related to alfalfa, but
not possessing the good qualities OF
alfalfa for hay or pasture. Owing TO
its hardy nature and its ability to
grow on poor soil and under unfav-
orable conditions, 1t is grown where
alfalfa and other hay crops do not
succeed. No one thinks of growing
1t when other crops can be grown.
1t is highly recommended for soils
with hardpan or for soil so poor in
fertility that they do not produce
other crops as well as they should.
Sweet clover would make a hay SO
coarse and unpaiatable that It would
be impossible to get stock to eat II.
II stock were turned on in the spring
when the plants are very young and
there is enough animals to keep II
pastured close all of the time, sweet
clover gives fair results. 1t will grow
all right in any part of the state.
Chemical analysis shows that the
feeding value is very high, but pala-
liability is just as important as the
chemical composition. We would not
recommend ii where other crops are
successful.--O. o. Churchill, Dept. OF

KILLING Johnson GRASS
What is the best method of killing
Johnson grass?-C. c. Featherston,
Pittsburg County, Oklahoma.

The best system is to plow your land
about four inches deep in August, thus
turning up the root system to the hot,
drying influences of the sun. Harrow
it frequently. When the ground is in
good condition, SOW a catch crop like
winter oats or rye, thus keeping the
ground covered and preventing the
roots from getting to the light and
making any considerable growth dur
ing the fall and winter. You may ma
ture these oats or simply use them for
winter grass and just as soon as the
crop is harvested or too rank for pas
ture, plow the land again in the spring
and fall to a crop like cowpeas. which
may be either planted thick or drilled
in, and cultivate like you would crop
Of sorghum. BY this method you not
only kill the Johnson grass, by stirring
the soil, but you keep it smothered by
the use Of these other crops. In sea
sons like the past two years, thousands
of acres OF Johnson grass have been
exterminated by the method described
above.

Stop Kicking For a While

w. G. Smith, one of South Dakota's
railroad commissioner, in a lengthy
article for the press expresses the
opinion that South Dakota has been
OVERRIDING the matter of railroad legis-
lation. He takes the attitude that
while the railroads are out after the
money, they have been the means of
building up the state to a greater
extent than any other one agency, and
that the history of railroad affairs in
the state shows that they have tried in
many ways to hold the good will of the
people. This has been evidenced by
the many orders of the commissioners
which have been obayed when there is
little doubt but that ar appeal to the
courts would have set aside the orders.
Mr.. Smith says that he has been say
ing ''thynk you" to the railroads for
the past few weeks for the willingness
which they have shown to haul seed
grain in car load lots to points west of
the river free of freight charges. He
urges that the people of South Dakota
should take a vacation from anti-rail-
road legislation for a while, and give
the railroads "a chance to recuperate
their losses from the fallingoff of bust
ness this year.

Death of w. w. Taylor

w. Walter Taylor died last week in
Montana, where he had made good in
the coal mining industry. Taylor was
formerly treasurer of South Dakota
and defaulted Jan. /, 1905 for 1867, 900
and he served aterm in the peniten-
tiary in consequence.
No citizen of the state stood higher
in the confidence OF the people than
did Taylor up to the moment when his
defalcation was announced. He came
to Redfield from Indiana. He was Of
a good family. He was made presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Redfield and was very successful in his
affairs. He was chosen treasurer in
1890 and reelected in 1892. The panic
In 1893 wrecked many banks in which
he had state funds, entailing heavy
losses. He made some unfortunate
investment in Mexican mines, but his
losses were not so serious but that he
and his friends could have easily COW
cred them.
AS the end of his term was approach
ing he was in Chicago endeavoring to
negotiate a loan sufficient to square
himself with the state. He called
upon a firm of lawyers who heard his
story.
"Wha you need is a lawyer and not
a loan," they told him. They devel-
oped to him a plan by which he was to
place all of his property in their hands
in trust, including all of the cash in his
possession belonging to the state and
then he vas to disappear and leave it
to them to settle with the state.
He was led to believe that the state
stripped of all it's cash resources in the
awful times then prevailing, would
readily compromise for what he could
pay. He adopted the plan and fed to
South America. The state would not
listen to any suggestions of compro-
mise. The entire plan proved a most
distressing failure. A very large
amount of the money was wasted in
the flight. Taylor returned, made
what restitution he could and pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for 20 years; but owing to a
defect in the low the sentence only
stood for two years. He was a model
prisoner and was released with his
good time. st. Paul Pioneer press.

Victim of the Weather

Scott Babcock, of Hartford, had
both arms frozen while driving to
Hartford from Sioux Falls. He is in a
serious condition. One arm was so
badly frozen that it had to be ampu-
tated to save his life, and it is feared
he will lose the other arm. a COM
panion had jumped out of the wagon
and walked behind it for some distance
in order to get warm. When the COM
panion called to Babcock and failed to
receive a reply he hurried to the
wagon and found Babcock so severely
frozen that he could not talk.
