Settlement of Suit of Long Standing
Now Seems Probable.

Deadwood, Aug. ga settlement
in the now famous Skelly estate case,
which for ten years has been in
course of litigation in the local pro-
bate court and has attracted atten-
ton in Ireland, as well as numerous
points in this country, is now immi-
nent. After many legal skirmishes
and oye the case was heard on ar
gument before Judge McNenny in the
circuit court here and has been taken
under advisement.
The Skelly estate unearthed many
heirs and got widespread publicity
some months & when the report
got abroad that it was worth a mill
lion dollars. In reality il consists of
mining ground of uncertain value,
as it is largely undeveloped, and
those finally proven heirs may have
to wait many more months before
they realize a fortune. The differ
enees between the New Orleans heir
and one set of Brooklyn heirs are
now about settled and a decision is
expected shortly. The question of
heirship which has proved so puz-
zling is due to the fact that Shelly
for thirty-five years failed to COM
municate with his relatives and there
is today no direct evidence connect
ing any of the numerous claimants
with the deceased miner.

NO ENDORSEMENT
Richards Quit Making Bogus
Claims.

Pierre, Aug. 29.-John Sutherland
of Pierre, an active member of the
progressive party's executive and
campaign committees, made public a
letter to r. o. Richards of Huron.
demanding that the latter cease cir
culating the claim that the progress
i've committee Endorsed him as a can
didate for governor. Sutherland had
a letter from Richards, in which he
classed himself as a non-partisan
candidate for governor, but at the
bottom of the letter was a printed
statement citing the alleged progress
i've Endorsement.
The Sutherland letter, in part, fol-
lows:
mo resolution of the character
contained in your letter was present
ed to or adopted by, the campaign or
executive committee. The question
of indorsing you and I'll. l.. Loucks
was preached several times, but the
campaign committee unanimously
agreed not to endorse you or any
body else, on the ground that neither
the campaign committee o the ex-
eeutive committee was authorized by
the state convention to make an in
dorsement. The statement which you
are sending out is fictitious. You are
not a bull mooser, as far as anyone
knows"
In relation to a portion of the pro-
gressive organization affiliating with
Richards and sending out his litera-
ture, the Sutherland letter says: II
can conceive of no reason for their
doing this unless you have led them
to believe you are a real bull mooser.
1t looks to me as though you had
tricked them"

RUSSIAN DEFEAT
FIVE ARMY CORPS DEFEATED
BY THE GERMANS SOUTH
OF ALLENSTEIN.

st. Paul, Aug. %, 1880 a. NJ
Special: The following advices have

association:
Berlin, by wireless to New York
News of the defeat of five Russian
army corps was made public here to-
day. 1t is regarded as encouraging
and as greatly relieving the situation
in east Prussia. 1t is said to insure
the safety of the German positions.

Express at Boluogne wires that prep

ticipation of a cavalry raid on the

Selection Should Be Made Between
September 1 and Is.

Brookings, Aug. 29.-Seed corr in
South Dakota should be selected from
September j to Is, according to
Manley Champlin, assistant agrono-
mist at State college. He suggests
from experience that sound ears be
chosen from vigorous stalks-ears
growing about the height of the av-
erage mans hips. Select a good va
riety growing near home.
AS to storing the seed corn, Prof
Champlin says: "a good method for
storing is to construct standards five
feet high. made of two by fours, and
tack poultry wire, preferably No. II
strength, and four feet in width, on
each side of the standards. The racks
may be made any length desired, but
the standards should not exceed five
feet in height. This method of stor-
ing is economical of time and space
and very convenient when an individ-
ual ear test is wanted. The school
| boys at Bath made such a rack last
year and exhibited at the Aberdeen
Corn and Alfalfa convention. One of
the leading seed companies of Indi-
! ana uses this type of rack for storing
seed corn. 1T is time saving, money
saving and space saving.
Seed corn selection will insure
better stands, more uniform ears, and
more convenient handling of the har-
vest. Recent data put out by the
United States department of agricul-
ture show that by careful selection OF
seed corn the yield of corn on an
Ohio farm was increased from sixty
FIVE to seventy-ive bushels per acre
in twelve years. 1t was also found
that the increase in yield was contin-
uous. The average yield for the first
| seven years, from 1901 to 1907, was
| seventy-seven bushels. For the last
| seven years, from 1907 to 1913. the
| average yield was eighty-five bushels
| These yields were obtained from
| ten-acre multiplying plot. Half OF
the seed each year was selected from
the multiplying plot and half from
the highest yielding rows of an cal
to a row breeding plot"

FARMER SUICIDES
c. Heyer, Near Hecla, Hangs Himseli
i'm Granary.

Aberdeen, Aug. 29.-Broding over
the European a caused Christoft
Meyer, a well to do German farmer
residing near Hecla, to hang himself
in his granary. Family troubles also
entered into the affair to some extent
Meyer was married last December to
"a German girl and his family rela-
lions had not been very harmonious
The body was discovered late in
the afternoon by Frona Olsen, a IL
year-old daughter of a neighbor, who
had gone to seek Meyers assistance
during thrashing. She found the
body in a granary. Meyer had beer
dead for several hours.
Meyer was so years old, coming tC
Brown county twenty years ago from
Germany. Five sisters in the ole
country and a wife are the only sur.

SIS to $t25 a pound. The first
piucking OF feathers is made when
the chicken is six or eight months of
age. The first plucking is of little
value, and only the main wing feath-
ers, known as spadones, are cut.
These feathers seel at IS to SIC a
pound. Successive pluckings take
place about every eight months after
the first, the feathers being left on
the bird two months longer, at the
md of which time they are drawn.
Generally the main wing feathers are
cut, and the first and second rows of
coverts, floss and tail feathers are
plueked.
The chief problems of ostrich
farming are feeding and rearing the
chicks. Feeding is not yet on a
scientific basis, and it is hoped that
he department of agriculture may be
able to give help in this direction.
Then, too, the Matching and raising
of ostrich chicks are far from salts
factory in results. After mating the
hen starts to lay her first batch of
eggs. She lays fourteen to sixteen
eggs and then she starts to sit. If
the eggs are taken from her she can
often be made to lay three patches.
The eggs are Matched naturally or
artifcially. the latter being the more
common practice. The percentage of
chicks Matched varies, but the aver
age is poor, while the number of
chicks that die from one cause or an
other is very large.
