NEW YORK, July 30.-The fourteen
foot ballot which came in for so much
ridicule during the election primaries
last fall has been outdone by one eigh-
teen feet long. which will be used in
the democratic primaries in the
twenty-third assembly district here
this fall.
There is no press in New York big
enough to take the ballots at a single
impression. They will have to be
printed in six-foot sections and pasted

Russian ThistleS.

Botany, South Dakota State
College, Brookings.

Russian thistle, which is not really
a thistle but belongs to the same fam
lily as the beet, has same food value.
Chemical analysis shows that it con-
talns considerable nutriment, although
1t has quite an amount of ~indigestible
fibre. Whenever stock can and will
eat the plant they do fairly we'll on
1t. Russian thistles are, of course, an.
nuals, that is, they grow up from seed
each year, and it takes them quite a
While to get a start, longer than
grasses and other plants that have
roots already alive and ready to send
up shoots at the opening of spring, it
being usually the latter part of May
before the "thistleS' are up large
enough for stock to get a bite at them.
In all but the extremely dry parts Of
the state forage is the most abundant
at the time they are up and edible,
so that if anything else will grow the
weed is useless as food. However.
since the Russian thistle rapidly sends
a long tap root down into the ground
it can obtain moisture where other
plants cannot, and having the advan-
tage of not being crowded by other
plants, there is, in dry regions, some
times quite a crop of Russian thistles,
and scarcely anything else. Sheep
; and cattle will eat the plants quite
readily, better than horses or hogs
will. In the dry parts of South Da-
kota, then, they may be put to IN
siderable use as feed for stock, espe-
cially during the time the thistles are
young and soft. They become thorny
in about six weeks from the time they
are up large enough for stock to eat,
that is, about the middle of July, and
then ripen their seeds in August or
September; the roots rot off at the
surface of the ground, and the weeds
! blow about and scatter their seeds as
they go.
Russian thistles, though not as trou-
blesome as they once ere. are still!
quite a pest in many parts of South
Dakota, While on the other hand they
are of some value as forage in the
drier parts of the state. The prob
lem of killing them is certainly not as
difficult as the killing of Canada this
ties or quack grass, as Russian this
ties must grow from the seed each
year, and it has been shown that il
they are cut off near the surface Of
the ground the root will not grow an
other plant. The weed is more trou-
blesome than the Canada thistle, how
ever, from the standpoint of numbers.
It is somewhat of a pest in grain
fields, but where it can be cut down
with a mower, or cut off with a cult.
vator, it can be quite easily killed.
The worst difficulty is that no matter
if you are careful to kill all your own
plants, your careless neighbours this
ties will tumble across your land, scat.
tering the seeds. However, a good
fence will stop most of them, and if
they can be burned off the fields the
seeds will be largely destroyed.

FOR BETTER HORSES.
Advice for Breeders Who Would I'm.
prove Stock.

Advice for Breeders Who Would I'M
prove Stock.
There are three things which horse
breeders should guard against:
First. Do not sell your best mares.
Second. Do not breed your grade
mares to a horse of different breed
ing.
Third. Do not use any but a pure
bred sire.
In selecting a sire do not be car
bred. A horse may be pure bred
and yet be lacking in many ways, as,
for example, conformation. s%oundness
or quality. . 1t is necessary, there
fore, not only to breed to a pure
bred horse, but also to be sure to
breed to one that has individuality
and which measures up to your ideal
of the particular type you are rails
ing.
The states of North and South Da-
kota have many good horses, but it
is also a fact that they have many
poor ones, so that there is still plenty
Of room for improvement. If every
horse breeder would make it his aim
to grade up his horses by the use Of
good pure bred sires it would be but
a few years until he would have high
grade horses which would be worth
much more than those of scrub
breeding, either for his w use or
to sell on the market.-Professor B.
l.. Thompson. South Dakota State
College, B%rookings.

Best Rule Is to Harvest Crop When
One-tenth in Bloom.

One-tenth IN Bloom.
An old established rule is to cut al
falfa when one-tenth in bloom. AL
falfa at this stage has a higher per-
centage of protein than if cut when
older. Thus the hay is richer and
also more palatable. About the time
of bloom the basal shoots are just
starting from the crown and alfalfa
cut at this time allows the young
shoots to come on rapidly. When the
alfalfa is cut too early the growth of
the young basal shoots is said to be
delayed. If the hay is cut too late
the basal shoots are cut off and the
second growth is severely injured.
When alfalfa is cut at the time Of
one-tenth in bloom it was found that
the total hay yield for the season was
greater than when the cuttings were
made when the hay was in full bloom.
The yield from the first cutting was
ting was enough less to more than
offset the increased yield of the first
cutting. When the cutting of alfalfa
is delayed some of the lower leaves
mature and fall off. The leaves form
the richer portion of the hay and ev-
cry effort should be made to retain
the greatest amount of leaves posi-
BILE. The tenth-in-bloom rule is a pretty
safe one, but it is an easy matter to
examine the crowns of the alfalfa
plants to see if the new shoots are
making a start. If they are it is time
to start the mower.-L. r.. Waldron,
Superintendent Dickinson IN. d. Sub

QUESTION. Can any use be made
of the berries on the sand cherry?
ANSWER. (By c. B. Waldron, Pro-
lessor of H~orticulture.) The sand
cherry makes valuable fruit for jelly
and similar purposes. 1t does not
fruit readily in the eastern part of the

western part. 1t is quite variable,
some of the plants being more pro-
ductive and producing better fruit than

1t is also grown in many places for

we have of the plant that it would be
a good crop to grow for forage in this
state. Farmers Bulletin 4S5 of the

QUESTION. What is the best way
to wash glasses and lamp chimneys?
ANSWER. (By Domestic Science
DEPARTMENT. In washing any sort Of
glassware, ammonia, washing soda OF
alcohol may be used in the water in
place of soap, using one tablespoon
to one quart of water. When putting
glasses into hot water they should be
dipped in edgewise so that both the
outside and inside are heated together
This prevents cracking. A soft dry
towel should be used for wiping glass
ware. For cut glass a small brush
may be used to remove dirt from,
crevices.

a campaign to rid the village OF
the conditions which this year
have produced the worst pest OF
mosquitoes ever known. The
active campaign against this IN
sect following the epidemic Of
yellow fever in 1905 resulted in
almost freeing the town of the
pest. The possibility of getting
rid Of them has therefore been
demonstrated and every one will
agree that money can be we'll

The question of taxing cotto

The question of taxing cotton
future trading is still subject OF
heated controversy. in Congress.
So far it is impossible to predict
the out come Of the amendment
to the tariff bill proposing the tax.
Sentiment in the south seems to
have awakened to the deleterious
effects Of the measure. Whether
this sentiment will be effective or
not is now open to doubt. This is
another proposition suggested
thoughtlessly by the farmer who
now begins to realize that his
project is apt to do more harm
than good.

TIE ktMUiAL III DUTY ON MEATS.

The new tariff bill has removed
all duty from meat imported into
this : country. An exchange,
quoting a world wide traveller says
that now the tariff is taken off the
price of meat will decline. In the
course Of the article he tells Of the
millions of sheep and cattle which
are being shipped from Australia
and South America to Europe and
that at no time did he find vessels
bring meat to this country. The
reason why was said to be the
tariff which prevented a profit in
the trade. The American farmer
who is arranging to 60 in for the
meat growing business need have
no fear Of reduced prices. The
best way to ascertain just what
meat will sell for in this country
is to study the present prices of
meat i'll Europe. Has anybody
eyer heard of an American eating
donkey meat. 1t is eaten in
several of the smaller German
states and in the Balkan states.
Mule and horse flesh is not un.
common over there and the only
instance where it has ever been
eaten in this country was at the
siege OF VIcksburg. Mule meat
IN iiungaria is said to for as much
as the poorer grades of beef here. |
These figures are government
records and not dependent upon
the statement Of a traveller. Ii
Australia and South America
haven't been able TO reduce the
price Of meat in Europe in the
past how are they going to reduce
the price of meat in the United
States now when meat fammine
is confronting the entire world
