BARN YARD MANURE

There Is not an acre Of land, how
ever new It may be, in South Dakota
that will not be benefited by a liberal
application OF barnyard manure.
Tests made in the eastern partition OF
the state indicate that the soil is par
ticularly benefited by an application
Of both phosphorus and nitrogen
while tests made In the western part
Of the state show that nitrogen is
needed to a greater extent than any
OF the plant foods. Barn-yard manure
contains both Of these elements In
large amounts and by applying it to
the soil these needed plant food are
supplied in the cheapest manner poss-
ible. Not only does the application Of
barn-yard manure increase the plant
food content Of the soil but 1t aids
materially in improving its physical
condition.
B%arn-yard manure Is vegetable mat
ter which has been reduced to a fine
state by process of m~astication, and
In this condition is readily converted
into humus. Humus is the crying
need OF our South Dakota soils. It is
from humus that practically all OF the
nitrogen that our soil contains has
been obtained. II there is no humus
there Is but little nitrogen in the soil
and II there is no nitrogen plants can
not thrive In such a soil.
In the drier portions Of II state,
where crop production depends large
ly upon the local rainfall, the humus
OF The soil plays a very important role
in the conservation OF soil moisture.
While an ordinary soil will hold thir-
ty or forty percent OF it's weight Of
water, a soil that is very rich in
humus will hold any where from n
hundred to two hundred percent of
It's weight Of water. Therefore, the
greater amount Of humus which q
soil contains the greater amount OF
water it will hold. and water, in some
parts or South Dakota, Is a desider-
atm not to be despised.

Pierre, Jan. u
Despite the fact that the Senate
rial election took most OF the time or
the sessions of Tuesday and Wednes-
day, and that the legislature adjourn
ed on Thursday to be in recess until
Tuesday the 18th, some important
bills have been introduced the past
week.
Crawford of Sanborn has introduced
an automobile law which Is closely
modelled after the Iowa statute now
giving great satisfaction there, but
era Words measure has a special
apportionment feature OF the funds
collected from license and fees which
Will allow each county to receive a
per capita share, based on population
and assessed valuation of the same,
and this apportionment to each will
be expended for public highways, and
%culverts. The Road Association
favors a graduated tax upon all auto
mobiles, but this would be clearly
unconstitutional, SO that much favor
Is expressed by legislators over the
fiat rate determined upon by Craw'
ford, OF 81 for filing fee, and an annual
registration fee OF So, unless In use
five years when it will be SO.
Senator Russell Of Brown presented
a resolution which stated that the
expenditures Of the past four years
exceeded those OF the four years pro.
ceding by 50, 100000 and asked for a
special investigation OF such expendi-
lures. The Republicans were very
willing to have such an investigation
made, to satisfy the Democrats, and
so all the state officials are busy pre-.
pairing figures, at the request OF senat.
ors, to clearly put forth the facts in a
clear form.
The Senate has passed the resolu-
ton providing that people vote upon
having a constitutional convention,
and there Is so much favorable at
tention toward it in the House that
1t will likely be passed there also. AL
members figure that 1T would be
cheaper to hold such a convention
and start anew" than to be com
PEELED each session to so extensively
amend the present constitution.
The Grand Army of the Republic
have thru friends introduced a reso-
luton asking permission to erect a
suitable monument on the Capitol
grounds, which will OF course be
granted. This enterprise will be
done by popular subscription and
about 1926 ,OO0 will he invested in the
design.
A special bill prohibiting intoxica-
ted persons from operating automo-
biles has been introduced by Nelson Of
Lincoln, making it a special otfense
so to do, and making any sheriff or
constable or policeman take posses.
sion OF such driver without process.

likewise to the more humid portions
of the state but 1t Is especially appli-
cable to the drier portions. Many
farmers In the western part OF South
Dakota hesitate 10 apply to
their land in the fear that it will
cause 1t to dry out. II the above
precautions are taken nc harm will
result but rather will the crop Yields
be raised any where from thirty to
one hundred per cent.

AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL.
St. Sophia and It's Wonderful Dome
That Is Said to Be Doomed.

St. Sophia and Its Wonderful Dome
That Is Said to Be Doomed.
The world would mourn were the
great dome of st Sophia TO fall. There
are persistent reports that the struc-
ture is in danger. that the masonry is
rotten and crumbling and that the
final doom of the edifice is not far OF.
When it is remembered that St So
phia was built in the sixth century,
that it has for more than thirteen cen
turtles withstood the '.ciSsitudes o:
fires. earthquakes. sack!ngs and bom-
bardments. rain and wind. heat and
! cold. the marvel is that il has endured
so long. Having stood through all
these ages. there will be the keenest
regret if it finally yields to the destruc-
tive forces of nature.
st. Sophia is often spoken of as the
era ndest monument of Christian archi-
lecture 1t Is the perfection OF the
Byzantine style. differing from the ear
ly RomaneSque and late renaissance
of western Europe and the beautiful
Gothic which must be considered the
INCdl VI CSGlCSAs1Sl ~
may not be as impressive as other
great edifices built from FIVE to ten
centuries later. but its strength. solid.
ity and grandeur. together with its
great antiquity. give it place unique
among churches.
The collapse Of st. Sophia's dome
would be a greater loss than was the
! fall of the Venetian campanile. and its
/ reconstruction would be utterly impoS
/ sible. The problems of its building
were so intricate and complex that the
! secret of them died with the architec
| Anthenius in the sixth century. 1t ha:
been said that ST. Sophia. like Kar

of architecture; but. unlike them. it !:

PREVENTION OF PNEUMONIA.
It Is Largely a Question of Persona
Precauton.

Pneumonia is particularly diseas
of city life and crowded living. With
our present knowledge the prospects
are hopeful for the control of pneumO-
MIA in the future through prevention.
This is of special importance to the in
dividual The avoidance of pneumonia
is largely question of personal pre-
cautions that prevent the development
of the disease by Iessening the predis-
position to it,
Men in middle life. particularly those
about fifty. must learn during unset
tied weather to avoid crowds. especial
ly when fatigued and when they have
been for a number of hours without
eating. Late at night. when for any
reason a meal had been missed, crowds
are dangerous. If this lesson could be
generally learned there would be less
pneumonia among the well TO do class
es. The principal danger comes in
crowded street cars. which, if possible.
should be avoided at rush hours. II
needs to be emphasized that the dan
ger from overcrowding is greatly en-
HANGED by fatigue and going without
food.
In a word. prevention of pneumonia
is now much clearer than il was. Like
all the other infectious diseases. in
stead of being a more or less inevita.

ognized as due to certain definite fac
tors which can be greatly leSsened by
