Feminist Boots.

A Lamar friend of Arthur Aull told
him the other day of we'll founded
prejudice which had become ground
ed into him years ago. "Someway
l have prejudice against man
who wears boots" this friend said.
"My first memories of this style of
footw ar date back to the time when
l had to get straddle of my daddy's
leg and pull and tug, while he boost
ed me with the other foot. Finally
the boot would come, but it was like
pulling the skin from a dead steer.
Then the next morning when the old
man went to get. his boots on, he
pulled until he got red in the face
swore and painted, and had a good
deal worse time than a woman does

Such Is Art.

A man who went 10 call on All artist
friend OF his in the latter's own studio
last Sunday, saw his artist acquaintance
doing weird things to a perfectly good
piece of canvas The picture looked as
IL it was intended to represent an idea OF
rabbit in cabbage patch. The cab
bagss we're rather sketchy, but much
pains had been taken with the rabbit He
was in the limelight, so to say. And
the artist appeared TO l~ giving him
coat of grease.
what on earth are you doing to
that p,cture?" called the friend.
IL am rubbing the rabbit with a
piece of raw meat" answered the artist
"rhe lady who is maybe going to buy il
is lady who always brings her dog
with her. He'll sniff al the rabbit and
she'll think that that is sign that it i
wonderfully realistic, why. she'll write
q paper about 1t for her next club meet
ing, and she'll buy the picture!"

Grows Two Crops In One Year.

"A fine way to grow cowpeas is to SOW
them right after YOU cut your winter
wheat or early OATS" writes VIM. II.
Bruins Of Lafayette county in the leading
articles of the Missour, Ruralist. As yon
cut your wheat run the disk righ. behind
your binder and the drill right behind
the disk, thus sowing the cowpeas before
windrowing or shocking the gain. Sow
about one bushel per acre. We did this
one year when cutting oats and shocked
them in small shocks of six bundles
each with one cap on a shock. We
hauled the oats off the field on broad.
tired wagon and never hurt the peas
They were four inches high at the time
but when we cut them you could not see
where a shock had stood nor where a
wagon wheel went. In this way you can
grow two profitable crops in one season
and not hurt your ground 1t also leaves
the ground in the very best of shape to
SOW another crop of wheat

A Scottish farmer was asked to the
funeral OF neighbours wife, and as
he had attended the funeral of both
OF her predecessors, his own wife was
rather surprised when he informed
her that he had declined the invita-
tion.
For some time Sandy would give
no reason for the refusal, but he
could no, stand the old lady off, SO
finally he told her with some hesita-
ton:

Act Of June s, 1910, Provides Relief For All

Washington, D. O., April 4th.-Tele-
grams received by the South Dakota
congressional delegation from Rosebud
and Pine Ridge reservations state that
homssteaders who last fall entered on
land in Bennett and Mellette counties
would not be able on account of snow
to make settlement in the required six
months unless an extension of time
should be granted.
Such contingency was provided for
in the homestead act of June 6. 1910.
which states: "If. owing to climatic
reasons, or any other unavoidable
cause, residence cannot be commenced
within the period the commissioner of
the general land Office may allow the
settlers not to exceed one year."
Representative Burke said the home.
stesders should understand that the

sity of making their settlement as soon
as possible after the unav,oidsble cause

the cattle men are fewer and those re
