covery in Surgical Case.
Naturalization doctors have
had unique case under their charge
at Sacred Heart hospital. Victor
Hirsch of Scotland. was brought to
the Yankton hospital suffering from
intense pains in the left side. His
case was diagnosed as appendicitis
and the patient was prepared for
operation. Upon examination for abil-
ity to take an anesthetic it was found
that the heart was located on the
right side. When the physicians OPP
Grated they found that the positions
of all the organs were reversed, the
heart being on the right side, the APP
pendix on the left side and all the 9th
err organs reversed in location in like
manner. Mr.. Hirsch is strong man

PLAN COLONIZATION
BISHOP BUSCH WILL INDUCE
GERMAN FARMERS TO COME
TO THE HILLS.
HAPPENINGS OvERTHESTATE
What is Going on Here and There
That is of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da-
kota and Vicinity.

Rapid City.--Rt. Rev. Joseph l..
Busch of Lead, Roman Catholic bish-
op of western South Dakota, is work
ing out plan for colonization of a
large tract OF land near here on
which German farmers can be
brought from the central west and
Europe. Bishop Busch came here and
described his plans to local business
men, who have agreed to cooperate
with him. Bishop Busch desires the
local men to purchase tract of from
1000 to 5000 acres, depending upon
whether irrigation or dry farming is
decided upon, and he will then popu-
late it with farmers. Some of these
farmers he proposes to bring from
the vicinity of Dubuque. Ia, and next
summer will make a trip to Europe
with a view of becoming better ac-
quainted with the conditions among

Prosperous Condition of Synod.

Huron.-The annual minutes of the
Synod of South Dakota of the Pres
byterian church, recently issued by
the state clerk, Rev. II. p. Carson, D.
D., of Huron, shows gain in the
number of church organizations, a
gain in members of the Y. p. S. c. E.,
and houses of worship and manses,
making the total value of the church
property $4O7,660. There is also a
great gain in the contributions to
missions and benevolence and some
gain in the expenditures for home
work. The slight decrease in the
church Sunday schools is partly met
by the increase in the number con-
nected with mission Sunday schools
and the decrease in the number Sof
communicates will doubtless soon be
made up as the result of this rallyine
annual review. IN .

To Destroy Stumps.

The best time to destroy hard woot
stumps is after they have stood two
or three years and the roots become
brittle. With an iron bar punch a
hole under the stump, or use one of
the borers made for the purpose, but
do not loosen the soil except by max
ing the hole. Place the dynamite
we'll under the center of the stump.
A little experience will soon show the
right charge for different sized
stumps, but use enough to thoroughly
blow out the stump.

CONCRETE FLOORS FOR HOGS
Just Enough Bedding Required to
Keep Animal From Coming in Con-
tact With Cold Material.

am using concrete floors In our
hog houses, and have found that I
need very little bedding, just enough
to keep the body of the pig from COM
ing in contact with the concrete. It is
easy to keep a concrete floor warm II
the cold air cannot get under 1t, says
a writer in an exchange. With 100
pigs in the house, during zero wealth
er, had to keep some of the win
dows and the upper end doors open
for ventilation. 1 have never had
pigs get stir from lying on concrete
floors. Good dry bedding, straw or
shredded fodder, is used. and is re-
moved as soon as it becomes damp
and replaced with a fresh supply. Ven
tilation is such that cold winds can
not blow in on the pigs, l disinfect
the houses often with air-claked
lime.
A dipping tank is essential, not only
for destroying lice, but for promoting
health conditions in general. I dip
my pigs, once in two months, more
often if the animals are bothered with
lice, and use any of the dip on the
market that have crude oil as a basis.
J do not dip in winter, but crowd the
hogs into the house, and spray them,
leaving them until dry. I spray hogs,
walls, bedding and ALL
keep wood ashes and little lime
in self-feeder before the pigs all
the time. Hogs need more mineral
matter than they usually get. During
che summer the hogs should be pro-
yided with ample shade.

MANAGEMENT Of Crops.

The problem begins in the field
where the crops are grown. Poor
management in gathering reduces
profits. Bruises incurred by rough
handling work against the interests of
the grower. A needless expenditure
of time and energy in harvesting
should be avoided. Protection from
the sun is often essential. All of
these problems must receive atten-
ton.

To the above letter DR.. Hartman

My dear Madam:-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been SO much said against
them, SO much controversy concern
ing them, am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
I wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another. l wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
l hope you will remember that she
is a housewife, like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman of mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. hope you will enclose
stamp SO she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear of the result. l can assure you
that no use will be made Of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
