federal governments have since CO.

the results OF the work now extend
not only within the confines of central
South Dakota but to similar regions
in other states.
Some Results Attained.
1t was at the Highmore farm that
The method OF growing alfalfa in rows
was demonstrated. The idea was OBJ
tanned from T. H. Kearney, who learn
ed the method from the Algerians
while exploring in that country. Grow
ing alfalfa in rows is now an increas-
ingly common practice throughout the
Great Plains region.
The Highmore farm has becn par
ticularly valuable in testing out the
hardness of all classes of crops that
can be grown here. The location il
certainly high and dry, the altitude
being 1890 feet, and the rainfall aver
aging about II inches, though fre
quently falling as low as 10 inches PEI,
year. When crops are found that with
stand such conditions and produce
profitable average results it is a safe
conclusion that these crops will prove
their merit when tried elsewhere. and
this conclusion has been justified by
repeated experience.
1t was here that the value OF kursk

proved; Swedish Select and Sixty Day

favor, but after q request made by the
prime minister In which he expresses
the wishes Of their majesties that
Captain Asgill's life might be saved
there was scarcely no possibility Of
refusing. mor especially as Sir Guy
Carleton promised to prosecute still
further the persons who might be
found guilty Of Captain Huddy's MUIR
der. I have lately written to him and
begged him to inform me what steps
had been taken.
The report that General Carleton
had pledged his word that during his
command no small parties should
come within the American lines or
to any part OF our shores is not lit
orally true. But I have reason to be-
lieve that he has taken measures to
discountenance and discourage all acts
Of violence on the part Of the refugees.
Indeed we had an instance Of it q

Dragons were taken of their post by
a party of refugees from Monisania,

The Highmore Experimental Farm
Is a sub-station or branch Of the South
Dakota Experiment Station. The work
Of the South Dakota Experiment Sta
ton is to dig the answers to farm prob
lens out Of the soil in various parts of
the state, in order that these answers
may be used for the present and future
betterment of the state, being trans
mitted BY the State College of Agri
culture, through it's class rooms, its
farmers Institutes and short courses;
through personal correspondence:
through farm papers and newspapers
Of the state and through regular sta
ton publications known as bulletins.
The experimental work Is SO organ
lied under one management that each
system. Each farm represents a GER
tain portion of the state. The Cotton
wood farm represents the gumbo soil
area, including about one-third Of the
west half Of the state. The Eureka
farm represents a limited area In the
northern part OF the state, including
Mcpherson and adjoining counties. In
the area, the ancient glacier piled up
rounded hills of bowlder clay and
rounded granite rocks. This rolling
country has it's special adaptations as
to crops and methods of handling the
soil.
The Bookings farm represents the
Sioux Valley or the eastern portion of
the state. The Highmore farm repre-
sents a wider region than any of the
others, a region extending from the
James river on the east to the Mis-
souri, river on the west.
The James valley and the southeast
ern portion of the state are not well
r%presented by any Of the farms belong
ing to the experiment station at the
present time.

effort is void. That is the re son why
this invitation is especially extended

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Fearing

hordes Of revolutionists, Captain
Bostwick, OF the gunboat Nashville,
has landed so American bluejackets
at Cape Haitien. according to Navy
Department wireless dispatches to-
day The commander of the Nashville
expressed doubt whether his forces
will be sufficient to prevent danger to
property and injury to foreigners. He
wired:
Have landed so men to protect, If
possible, foreigners and their prop
erty. Pillaging already has COM
menced Theodore is rapidly losing

Cape Haitien is in the hands of an
armed mob and there Is no visible au-
thority. The American consul ap-
pealed to Captain Bostwick for pro-
lection and the bluejackets were land
ed with orders to surround the con-
sulate and protect 1t from the mob.

whether he will be allowed to enter

KIDNEYS OFTEN OVEUWOUkED
When Diseased the Whole System
Becomes Deranged.

The bowels, the kidneys, the skin and
the lungs carry off the waste material
rom the human body. The bowels re-
move the non nutritive material after d.
Festion Is completed and the lungs car
ry off the carbonic acid gas. The skin,
through its pores, gives exit to water,
the saline matter and some gaseous ex-
halatons To the kidneys, which are a
marvellous combination of delicately
constructed tubules, is given the most
delicate task of all, In the work of re-

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
NeutraIize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder where it often remains to
irritate and inflame. causing burn
ing, scalding sensation or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad-
der, obliglng you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in voiding it,
Bladder weakness, most folks call
il, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful. this Is
really one of the most simple all
ments TO overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
glass Of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days, This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans. which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
li;hia, sno is used by thousands of
folNs who are subject TO urinary dis

Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.

Why Appeal Was Restricted.
THE appeal was issued on behalf
Of Bulgaria alone because only Bull
