CUTTING or
A0ronomist at Bookings College
Makes Suggestions to Farmers.

Brookings.-The time to cut alfalfa
depends more upon the condition Of
Inc small shoots at the crown of the
plant than it does upon the bloom, &C.
cording to Manley Champlin, assistant
agronlmst at h state college.
The blooming Of alfalfa depends
upon the seasonal conditions and is
therefore a very poor indicator of the
time when alfalfa should be cut. It
Is better to cut it when the small
shoots appear at the crown OF the
plant and every effort should be made
to cut the alfalfa promptly, as if these
second shoots will be cut off, the Sec
ond crop will be set back from one to
three weeks, thus losing valuable tina
In the making of the o Some sea-
sons the alfalfa will be half in bloom
and other seasons will scarcely be in
bloom at all when ready to cut. AS
long as moisture is in abundance, the
plant makes ~vegetative growth: when
1t Is dry. on the other hand, it at.
tempts to reproduce itself. and there
lore blossoms abundantly in the same
manner as has often been noted, that
wheat heads u on a very short straw
i'll a very dry season.
The alfalfa should be cut and al.
loves to live in the swath from two to
four hours. 1t should Their be raked
Into punches and allowed to dry
enough, SO that when a wisp is twisted.
water drops will Q be squeezed out
OF 1t. 1t is then ready to be moved
away or put in the stack.
In the eastern part Of the state and
IN TACT all parts of the state. If rain
fall is abundant, it may be necessary
to cock it. If so, the cocks should be
built high and narrow. An alfalfa
cock is in good proportion when it is
about two feet in diameter by four
1eet high. 1t is an excellent plan to
cover these cocks with a special al
falfa cock cover, made of canvas, to
avoid its being injured by rain. Ev-
cry effort should be made to get the
alfalfa into the stack or barn without
losing many of its leaves or it's color.
Alfalfa with a bright green color
and with plenty of leaves. ranks the
same ON the market as wheat of GOOD
milling quality, bright, plump and
clean, in other words. No. /"

Banking History of Early Days.

ADerdeen.-One of the interesting
features of the state bankers associa-
ton meeting here was the report of
Secretary J. L Platt of Clark. The
report showed hat when he was first
elected secretary of the association
there was a total of 50 banks i IN South
Dakota. At the date Of his last com
pllation on June /, there were go
banks in the state, OF which ass are
state banks, 102 national banks, II
private banks, u trust companies,
and 10 banking corporations. Secre-
tary platt has discovered that the Da-
kota Bankers association held a con
vfntion in Aberdeen in June, 1885.
The Journal Of that meeting was pre-
serEed by the late VI. p. Beebe. and
seems to establish that the two Dakc-
tas have the honor. Jointly, of organ
lzing the first state bankers associa-
item in the United States. The third
annual convention was held at Water
town IN 1887, and from the journal Of
this convention it is learned that the
first person TO open a bank iii the Da-
kotas was Mark IT. Palmer. % years
OF age, who opened a bank on Second
street in Yankton in 1869, With a CAPT
t. Of 81 GOO. The second bank was or
ganized b. G. L. Prentice On Scptam-
Der II, 1871, at Nermiliion, and the
third bank was started at Elk Point
i'll the spring of 1872 by w. Hoffman.
In the fall of hat year p. z. Winter
mute started a bank at Yankton. Win
teinate ~afterward killed Gen. Edwin
McCook, hen secretary Of the terri
tory, at a meeting held at Yanktou to
consider the proposition to encourage
the coming of the Dakota Southern
railway. Wintermute was tried, CON
yicted and sentenced to 10 year in
prison, but later got a new trial and
was acquitted.

Many Titles Affected.

~Philip.-The decision cf the supreme
cour of the United States, just an
nounced, holding that a mere blanket
reservation in homestead patents re-
serving all coal and other mineral de-
posts contained in said lands to the
United States forever is void. affects
many titles in Stanley county and 9TH
er counties of western South Dakota.
It has been the general practice OF the
general land office for several years
to insert in all patents issued to home
steaders a general clause reserving all
minerals to the government. This has
been done without any examination OF
the particular land to determine
whether it was mineral in character or
not. The earlier patents in this local.
ity did not contain the reservation;
many of the late ones do. The case
decided by the supreme court involved
lands of the Southern Pacific railroad
in California. The attorneys for the
railroads contended that the govern
ment officials must make examination
and determine the mineral character OF
lands before they were able to reserve
~
them. This contention was sustained
by the court. Although, in a prairie
country such as this. the reservation
could not be of serious
yet it constituted a cloud upon the
fullest possible use and enjoyment Of
land even in parts of South Dakota.
Sioux Falls.-Prof. A. A. Mcdonald.
superintendent of schools of Sioux
Falls, has just filed a report which
shows that nearly $4,000 was saved
during the last school year by the pu-
pills Of the city grade schools. The
money now is on deposit in a local
bank, which received the deposits dur.
ing the school year. The penny say.
ings system was inaugurated in thu
schools about a year ago and has prov.
en- popular and to be a good thing for
teaching the pupils tho value of money
and what may be accomplished By
economy.

Deafness cannot Re cured


by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustaehian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca

over the yield in non-irrigated fields

Eis 81 per cent; in wheat 1853 per cent
