SOMETHING new
By PROF. JAMES w. WILSON,
Director of the South Dakota ExPcri.
ment Station, BrookinGs.

Director of the South Dakota ExPcri.
ment Station, Rrookings.
The above is a picture OF b first
two lambs of the new breed OF sheep
recently imported by Prof. \. +. Han
sen while on his trip in Siberia last
summer gathering a supply OF alfalfa
seed for the semi-arid conditions OF
South Dakota. Yes, these lambs are
new, being only a few weeks Die
Each was born without a tail but had
q development on either side of the
place where the tail ought to be. When
these sheep arrived at the station they
were reported as being of the fat
tailed variety, but this was a mistake,
and as far as We know, this is the
States. In Montana there is a breed,
but the sheep have a rudiment of q
tail. In Texas there is a breed, but 1t
is the Persian fat-tailed. In Indiana
there is a breed called the "Tunis,"
but the sheep have fat tails.
The newspaper man asks, sis there
anything new"
Yes, this station, through Prof. Shep-
ards efforts, has developed the only
sugar beet in the world, as far as we
knew, that is one-quarter sugar. Ia
his work he discarded better varieties
than the average OF the best now
grown commercially for the production
Of sugar.
When you meet the politician who
is running for a minor office he viii
ask, is there anything new"
Yes, the Surplus imported alfalfa
seed that Prof. Hansen brought back
is being sold at s. a pound all over
this country, from Nova Scotia to Seat
tie and from British Columbia to New
MEXICO. One order has been sent to
Belgium, ana an inquiry was received
from South America. The new idea
of Hansen or the Hansen way OF
growing alfalfa seed appeals to the
people; and certainly it is ley to use
a tobacco planter to set out alfalfa
plants. L seems quite new to me in
deed. to read an advertisement in the
Breeders Gazette Of Chicago of alfalfa
plants for sale. This is the result CT
the Hansen way OF growing alfalfa
and never before has an advertise
ment oil this kind appeared and hence
it must be new.
In the plant breeding laboratory of
the South Dakota Experiment Station
there are many new things. The lat
est is the Naneta plum. a cross be
tween the japanese plum and the na-
tive plum, perfectly hardy, is new and
is OF unknown value to the semi-arid
conditions Of the northwest. Hun
dreds Of crosses VIII come into bearing
this next year and every n is new.
We will report progress made in
crossing this new breed with our 9th
er breeds Of sheep, and the progeny
will be without tails, and new.

Ono Hundred Years AGO.

The curious modes which women af-
feet now began as far back as 1898,
which Is a period we should hardly
wish to copy In most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
in vogue at that time, and had many
opponents. who danced in loose bod
Ices opening in q V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
were slit and were often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns OF that
period, which were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1900 wore sandals and
bare feet. Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
We're caught up to the knee with large
canoes Soon fashion overreached It
self and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and un~naturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton. Wis.-"My sister had a
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side Of her face and it ran up to
her gar. It commenced with a small
blotch Of pimples which turned into
a kind Of rash and spread rapidly. 1t
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and sit
would keep OF spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was a kind OF eczema.
She treated for some time and it
did not help her. It kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always

GROWTH OF CORN.

G. W. N. Of Hutchinson County in.
quires as follows:
Can Won tell ne how corr grows

Has a stalk of corn an ear before it
blossoms Is the ear visible to the

Reply by Prof. A. N. Hume:
In every joint Of the corn plant is
an undeyeloped ear. Usually a stalk
Of corn develops only one ear from
some IN Of lis nodes or joints. If 1t
is rendered impossible for a given
node to develop an err. usually an ear
will start from some other node. In
this sense a stalk of corn has an ear
before it blossoms. The buds are Wis.

REAL HOME FOR THE HOLE
Finds Secure Abiding Place After 2
Period Of Troubious

Everett p. Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent Of oma suffrage, said at
q suffrage debate in Boston:

Prior duties! Prior duties!' So
q young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties" that you're always talk
Ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren?'
so then l told the young lady this
story:
Once upon a time, l began, a little
hole was born; and it looked around
to see where it should take up its
abode.
1T first decided on a window, but a
man came straightaway and put in a
new pane. 1t next chose a chair seat,
and in a jiffy a new seat was put in
the chair. The hole now selected a
baby's rattle, and the baby was SC
pleased that 1t began to teal the rat
tie to pieces and the poor hole, half
crazed with fright, had just time to
escape. 1t threw itself, moro dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came to hand, which happened to be
the sock OF a suffragist husband.
There, at least, the hole seems to
have found a real home. It's peace

ginning, six months ago."
