Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-07-11
All Is Clear Now.

The old farmer was making his
usual weekly call on Mrs. Virgins.
"P'taters is good this mornin'
ma'am," he said, casting an admiring
look at the basketful he had brought.
"Oh. is they?" retorted Mrs. Wig
gins. THAT reminds me. 1 wants to
have a word with you about them
you sold me last week. How is 1t that
them at the bottom o. the basket is
SO much smaller than them at the
top?"
Comes about like this" replied old
John, a knowing look on his face.
"P'taters Is CROWN that fast now,
that by the time / get a basketful dug,
the last one is about twice the size

Hansen in the Forum. He is now liv-

the same papers, o e to the same
church, votes at the same poll, criti-
ctses the same drama. On his walls,
as much as he can afford Of it, he
hangs the same pictures; he has car

Chesterton's tinker's as were the no

first essential in the new art Of being
is, thai a tinker shall not be a tinker
when he is not tinkerfng, or a smith
a smith when he is not at the forge.
Your tinker Of old was a tinker in his
evenings and on his holidays. The
modern tinker must not be out Of
place in the research library. Country
people no longer wear peculiar styles.
They are more distinguished for tele-
phones and taste for opera.

Its ADVANTAGE
Stung.

The two men who occupied the
seat directly in front of the little man
in the passenger coach were chuckling
over a mysterious pamphlet. They
would read a few paragraphs and say:
~Gee, amt this hot stuff" Then they
would turn a page and laugh.
This is the spiciest stuff 1 ever
read" said one of the readers.
The little mans curiosity got the
best of him, and he quietly stood up
SO he could get a glimpse of the spicey
reading matter. He took a look and
sat down and kicked himself. The
legend on the pamphlet read:

Red Peppers, Department Of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D.. c."

smith is gone. He seeks the same re-

his children, the politician he elects to

to live and to think middle class.

you see the sun across a fiat and fertile land, a big
req sun which you may look at without blinking.
There is a mighty river flowing full and broad be-
tween low banks with scattered trees. You glide
into canals lined to the waters edge with grass and
outtercups, enlivened with groups of fishers In trou-
sers OF the strangest cuts, who stand chatting with
the keepers of the locks and drinking healths in
schnapps.
The trousers are boomers, not unlike the knick-
ers or the fair when full built (speaking Of the
knickers), and they wear round knit caps of vivid
green. Others, more sober, wear bomb-shaped cas-
quettes OF orange velvet embroidered with black
silk.

LUXURY OF A TR0PlC SEA.
Bathing In January With the Wates at

Bathing In January With the Wates at
80 Degrees.
Those who live IN temperate and
cold climates do not realize the effect
of the suns direct heat on the sea
The luxury of bathing in an ocean
that has temperature of 1903 degrees,
writes Mr.. e. j. Bantied in MY
Troplc Isle" is not for the multitude
who crowd the cities that the sun
touches trelnulously and aSIant.
On Nov. II. 1909. we bathpd at Moo
ice. north Queensland. IN shallow wa.
ter. on the edge of an area of denuded
coral reef fully two miles long by a
mile broad For three hours con
siderable portion OF the reef had been
exposed to the glare of the sun. and
the incoming tide tilcbpd the stored up
heat from coral and stones and sand
The first plunge provoked an ex
"iamation Of amazement, for the water
was several degrees hotter than the
air. and II was the hottest hours
o'clock in the afternoon of very hot
day. No thermometer was at 6and to
register the actual temperature of the
water, but subsequent tests 1T the
same spot under similar conditions
proved thar the surface stratum OF
about one foot was at los degrees
r.. from four to six 1egrpes hotter than
the air Below that the temperature
OF the water seemed ordinary and cor
responded with that of the water a
hundred yards from the shore.
On another day, Ian, TO- 1910. he

noon, the sea. scientifically tested. was
found heated to 90 degrees With the
bulb buried in the sand six feet from
the. waters edge, the mercury rose to
l12 degrees very quickly and remained
stationary.

Geese That pick Cotton.

Or. r. o. Williams of Humboldt,
Tenn, who is also farmer. claims
to have flock Of geese which he has
trained to pick cotton. There are
ten geese in the flock, and DR., VIII.
hams claims each goose will pick on
an average of seventy-five pounds of
cotton a day, and that often his flock
will gather sufficient seed cotton in
one day to make two large bales
The doctor says he first taught his
geese to do the picking act by placing
grains of corn in the open hollis of
cotton in such a way that in order to
get the grain the goose would have
to pick out the cotton.
