a farm, separate the sick from the
apparently healthy animals, and
burn all carcasses Of dead animals
on the day of death. Do not leave
th1m unburned, for this will en-
danger all other farmers in the
| neighborhood.
(6) If after the observance of all
possible precausions hog cholera
appears on your farm, notify the
State Veterinarian, or State Agri,
cultural college, and secure serum
for the treatment of those not af-
fected. The early application of
this serum is essential.
Some OF these precautions may
seem unnecessary and troublesome,
but they do not cost much, and
they are very valuable preventive
measures.
1t would be physically and finan-
cialiy impossible to treat every hog
in the United States with the anti
hog-cholera serum. In many states
the authorities can net supply
enough serum TO treat the infected
and exposed heards, to say nothing
of making immune all herds that
are affected. When an outbreak is
located the most effective plan is to
administer serum to the droves on
all the farms Immediately around
the seat of the outbreak so as to
prevent the wider spread Of the
disease. Where the State can sup
ply the serum (for the Department
of Agriculture does not distribute
it direct to farm ers), this treatment
is an effective preventive measure,
Where serum is not available the
simple precautions above given will
in many cases prevent the spread
of the contagion. These precau-
tionary measures should be used
even Where serum can be obtained,
because it is far better to keep hog
cholera out of the drove than to re-
ly on the use Of the serum after the
disease has appeared.
Very truly yours,
B. t. GALLOWAY,
Assistant Secretary.

Shoeiny The People

Wearers of shoes, who have in
the past few years been confronted
with increasing prices on the grades
of shoes that they have habitually
purchased may have little concep-
ton of the difficulties surrounding
the manufacture and retail of such
shoes under present conditions.
To begin with the tastes of the
people are growing more and more
tastidious in the matter of style and
appearance. This could not be
otherwise with 1900 independent
shoe manufacturing concerns and
over 5000 shoe retailers catering
for the trade of the people and en-
gagged at all times in the most open
competition and keenest rivalry,
each seeking to obtain the largest
possible share of the total business.
The decreased production and
consumption of meat has caused a
short hide supply and high prices
for leather, the latter being intonsi-
fed by an abnormal use of leather
in recent years in the furniture, up
holstery, and trunk and b az in
dustries, and in the enormous new
industry of automobile manufacture
ing.
Shoe manufactures and retailers
have been endeavoring to produce
and sell the utmost of style in shoes
made from materials constantly in
creasing in price, while at the same
time, they are confronted with a
public prejudice against a cores
ponding increase in the price of
shoes, which prejudice is due per-
haps to a considerable extent to the
general discomfort at all forms Of
the increased cost of living.
So far as the shoe industry and
business is concerned, it is said
that such prejudice is not just be-
cause the conditions surrounding
the market for shoe materials are
not established by shoe manufact-
ures and shoe retailers, but by
world wide factors on which they
have not a particle o. influence.
Neither is the increasing price of
leather and correspondingly in
creasing price of shoes due to any
combination among the 800 shoe
manufacturers and over so 900 shoe
dealers in the United States. All
of these are engaged in free and un-
chucked competition with each
other. Each of them is trying to
serve the public the best they know
how at the lowest possible cost.
Not one of them can cause the farm
er to raise a steer, nor any person
to eat an extra pound Of meat.
Neither can any one Of them pre-
vent the population from increas-
ing.
These are the factors that cause
higher prices for shoes, and these
prices must naturally continue to
rise higher as long as shoes are
made of leather, unless there shall
be a decided increase in the cattle
raising industry and in the supply
of hides. Consumers of shoes should
realize that shoe retailers and shoe
manufacturers are, like themselves,
victims of these unfavorable condi-
tions and not the instigators of
them.

WAITING FOR THE
GOVERNOR TO SIGN

Sacramento, Cal. May 5.-The alien
land ownership bill previously passed
by the senate was passed by the as
sembly and awaits only the signature
of the governor to become law. on
ly three votes were cast against the
measure in the lower house, one dem
ocratic and two republican members
opposing the bill Oh the fnal passage.
Governor Johnson has agreed to de-
lay signing the bill until opportunity
shall be given for hearing any pro-
tests tnat President Wilson may de-
sire to make. In the governors own
words this delay will cover treas
enable time' probably not more than
ten days and certainly not more than
thirty.
Although the act is designed to ex-
elude all aliens ineligible to citizen
ship, it is drawn in conformity with
treaty obligations and guarantees to
every alien his full treaty rights, omit

Ship objectionable to Japan,
Secretary of State Bryan concluded
his mission to the governor and legis-
lature of California with message of
farewell. To an open JOINT session of
the two houses, attended by the gov
ernor, he gave renewed assurances of
the friendly interest and cooperative
attitude of the national administra-
tion toward the peculiar problems of
California, transmitting the presid-
ent's latest, criticism of the alien land
act passed last night by the state
senate and rehearsing again those OBJ
jectiops already made public.
In reply Senator Gates, speaking
for the state said;
"This legislature appreciates the
honor that has been done to this state
by the visit of the secretary of state,
We realize that his coming to consult
with us marks an era in American
politics. 1t brings the federal govern
ment into close touch with the indi-
yidual state. On the part of the legis-
,ature 7 wish to express our profound
appreciation and gratitude for the in
terest taken by the national govern
Elcnb in problem confronting the
state of California and to assure the
president that even il we may differ
with him, we do it with the profound
est respect for his opinions and those
of the secretary of state. And II we
feel impelled to depart from that ad-
vice we 60 it with respect for that
advice,
II propose and desire on the part of
this legislature to thank the president
and his secretary for their assistance
and express the hope that this visit
may be forerunner of further activi-
ty 10y the national government i'll as
sisting states in their work.

this line than any other man in the
state. Mr.. Jeffries has proved to the
satisfaction of everyone who has seen
his plats that the Siberian alfalfas
will produce abundant crops of bay
and pasture in any season which has
been known in Stanley county. Mr..
Jeffries is now in charge OF large
seed station v hich has been establish
ed upon his farm and no doubt will
produce results this year which will
be fat superior to anything attained
heretofore.
The wonderful advantages of the
western half of South Dakota as a
live stock and dairy country have
long been conceded, and the farmers s
who have tested these hardy alfalfas
are convinced that a general distri-
button of the seed will rapidly bring
this section to the front as one of the
leading wealth producing portions OF
the entire state.
Seed denomination stations have
been established at Faith, Isabel,
Mobridge, Lennon. Winner, Vivian,
Redfield, Ipswich, Highmore, Beres-
ford, Sansarc, Cottonwood and Ka-
doka. The fact that three. of these
stations are located in Stanley county
is the best evidence of Prof. Hansen's
appreciation of the effective work Of
Henry Jeffries in the field and of Rep
resentatiyes Leedom and Granger, OF
this county, in the fight to secure the
necessary appropriations through the
legislature.

JAPAN TO PROTEST
ALIEN LAND BILL

Washington, d. G.-President Will
son has received by telegraph a copy
of the alien land bin passed by the
California legislature and now await
ing Gov. Johnson's signature. He let
it be known the federal admiuIstra-
ton will take no further steps until
Secretary Bryan returns on Thursdsy
with first hand information.
Wilson told his callers he had hot
vet received the formal protest Of
Japan. He intimated that before
May 13, the last day for Gov. John
son to sign the bill, some expressions
might be expected as TO whether it
would be in contravention OF the
treaty with Japan
In the absence of instructions TO
the contrary, Ambassador Chinda
will not present Japan's formal pro-
test until after Bryan returns. In the
meantime the embassy will haye an
opportunity to acqu4tint the Toxic
government Office with the exact
terms of the bill and the conditions
in California and Washington.
Sacramento, Cal. The alien land
ownership bill previously passed by
the senate was passed by the assemb-
ly Saturday night and awaits only the
signature of the governor to become
a law, Only three votes were cast
against the measure in the lower
house. one democratic and two re-
publican members opposing the bill
on the final passage. The roll call
was at 1925 O'Clock. less than "a
hours after the final passage of the
act in the senate early Monday morn
ing.
Defeated firally in his diplomatic
efforts TO dissuade the California leg
islature from enacting an alien land
law affecting the Japanese, Secretary
of State Bryan declared Saturday af-
ternoon, that he looked to the people
of the state to express final judg-
ment through the referendum before
the act shall 60 into effect.
Mr.. Bryan's statement was made
before an open joint meeting of the
senate and assembly Immediately be-
fore his departure for Washington.
The assembly which was even then
in the midst of it's debate on the land
bill passed last Friday night by the
senate. paused for half an hour TO
hear him and then took up its work
of following the senate's lead. The
procedure in the lower house Satur-
day was almost identical with that
which the administration leaders in
the senate adopted Friday. On the
one side the democrats offered sub
stitute resolutions and amendments,
all seeking to delay a.,tion and on the
other side the progressive majority
stood firm on voting down every sng-
gestion.

The latter part of last
week Prof. N. E. Hansen's
assistant, Mr.. w. B. Wood,
of Brookings, was in Kadoka
and established a State Isl
berianl Alfalfa seed Demon
stration farm on the B. L.
McNally place, just north of
the school house.
Between five and six acres
of two different varieties of
the hardy alfalfas which were
brought over from Siberia by
Prof. Hansen were set out,
in rows three feet and ten
inches apart and the plants
about two feet apart in the
rows. The transplanting was
done with a Bemis trans
planter, a very ingenious ma
chine which sets the plants
and waters them at the same
time.
The plants were raised
from seed planted a year ago
last fall. They were culti-
waited last year and in the
fall were taken up and stor-
ed in a cellar. These plants
under any ordinary condi-
tions will produce a consider
able quantity of seed this
year, which will be planted
here this fall and cultivated
next year. Preparations are
now being made to work
twenty to thirty acres this
summer in preparation for
the enlargement of the work
next year.
Prof. Hansen has made
four trips to the far east for
the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in search
of hardy forage plants for
the up-landS OF the Seml-arld
west, and on his last trip he
brought some twenty-four
varieties Of hardy Siberian
alfalfas. These alfalfas were
secured in barbarous portions
of Northern Siberia where
the average annual rainfall
is about nine inches ard
where A degrees below in
the winter and 122 degrees
above in the summer are a
common thing conditions
which are much more severe

than anything ever recorded
in this locality.
The theory of Prof. Han.
sen is that these plants,
growing natural as they do
in a climate much more seve-
re than our own will find a
favorable and congenial home
in our soil and will produce
an abundant and profitable
crop of the most valuable
hay known.
In the beginning the sup
ply of seed was very limited
and Prof. Hansen was oblig-
ed to conduct his expert
ments on a very small scale
until a sufficient quantity of
seed could be secured. Dur
ing the past two years plants
have been sent out to about
fifteen hundred farmers in all
parts OF the state who have
tested them during the dry
years Of 1911 and 1912 and,
in spite of the unfavorable
criticism of the Dakota Farm
er and others, the practical
farmers in the western part
of the state who have per-
sonally conducted the actual
tests so far are convinced
that these Siberian Alfalfas
are much harder than any of
the common varieties we
have at present.
The ordinary Grimm and
Turkestdn alfalfas have fail
ed to stand the dry seasons
on the uplands of the west
ern country, while the new
alfalfas growing in the same field
have been able to withstand tile sey-
ere climatic conditions and to grow
and thrive through even the dry sum-
mer of 1911 without any apparent diff
ficulty. The showing already made
by the Siberian alfalfas haYe convinc-
ed the farmers they are superior to
any of the common varieties and the
demands for plants and seeds for fur.
ther use are all together out of pro-
portion to the supply.
Professor Hansen will leave for ST.
IBERIA about June 1st and he hopes to
secure two or three tons of seed,
which, together with what is grown
in the state this summer, will be snffi-
cient to make general distribution
of the same over the entire state.
Some of the most successful tests
which have been made have been
conducted by Mr.. Henry Jeffries. OF
