invents Three Row Corn Tools.

Wagner.-E. W. Owens of this city
has invented a three-row corn planter
and a three-row cultivator. which help
to solve the problem Of the scarcity of
farm help. The planter can be oper-
ated with two heavy horses or three
light ones, a be manipulated as east
ly as the two-row machine and has i'm
portant improvements to secure accu-
racy in the dropping Of the seed. The
cultivator with four or six horses, &C
eording to size or strength, will cult
waite "A acres per day and do the work
as accurately and thoroughly as the
single o machine. The shOvels are
so spaced and their distance from the
outer corn rows SO arranged, that
when thu c%ultivator follows the same
three ro.s that the planter planted.
the two outer rows will be cultivated
exactly the same as the center row.
and all three will be cultivated with
perfect accuracy.

DeadWoOd.-On petition Of the
states attorney. showing neglect Of
duty and irregularities in the issuance
or county warrants, Judge McNenny,
in the circuit court here, removed
County Auditor John l.. Baker of this
city from office for the balance Of his
term, ten months. The action was TAX
an at the request of the county COM
~missioners, who signed the complaint
against Baker. Baker dropped out Of
sight three weeks ago, following the
warrant disclosure, and his books were
then gone over. While there is nothing
wrong in the county accounts. private
funds handled by Baker for the Hardes-
fy company of Denver. and others, are
short, according to the states attor-
ney's complaint, and it is probable that
steps will now be taken to find him
and have him returned here for misap-
preparation Of funds. His chief depu-
ty, y. r. Gustafson, at Lead, former
county auditor, has been appointed by
the commissioners to fill out the unex-
pired term, and the name of Fred Har-
ris of Lead will be certified on the
primary ballot to take the place OF
Baker, who was a candidate for re-
nomination in March.

GROUND CORN AND COB FOR
HORSES.

The following inquiry was recently
received by the South Dakota State
college and answered by Prof. ]. w.
Wilson:
"Will you kindly give us the value
of ground ear corn for horse feed, in
the winter. when horses have straw
all the time, and hay only once q
week, or SO? Is the cob part hard on
their digestive apparatus? Or, do
you think one had better shell the
corn?"
Reply: Il have never fed any of
this to horses, but have fed It to
calves, and it made a fine feed. In
looking the matter up, / find in Hen
rvs book on Feeds and Feeding, an
account of the Paris Omnibus Com
pany feeding corn and cob meal to
horses. They found it more accepta-
BILE than the pure corn meal.
Il never heard Of the cobs being
hard on the digestive apparatus, al
though in fact, I believe the cobs
should be ground fine. The cobs in
the meal would tend to tighten the ra-
ton. They would allow the juices OF
the stomach to mix more freely with
the corn meal than il they were not
included in the feed. I would not she'll
my corn for horses, and unless the
horse has very poor teeth. l would not
grind it, but let him eat it off the
cob.
'In regard to feeding straw, we
make it a practice on the college farm
to feed straw all winter both to the
cattle and to the horses. In fact. our
horses get very little hay during the
winter and they keep in good condi-
tion."

Old Cattiernan Must Go.

McIntosh.-Notice has been served
on d.. B.. Zimmerman, one Of h few
Old-time ranchers on the reservation
country. that he must prepare to va
cate the lands he is now holding in
the reservation by July l. Mr.. Zim-
norman came to this country a num-
Der OF years ago with from 10000 to
$4,000 head of cattle and has pros
pered. He had hoped to remain in
the cattle business several years yet,
but the demand of the homesteaders
for the land is crowding him out as
it has crowded many OF the other big
cattle kings of days gone by. 1t is
claimed Zimmerman is worth a mil.
lion dollars, most of it being made on
the reservation lands raising cattle
for the city markets.

Brookings.-The committee from
the Commercial club, having in charge
the sale OF the required amount OF
stock to secure the extension OF Luce
electric line from Minneapolis to
Brooklngs, announce thai they have
succeeded in selling the balance OF
the amount for the Canby-Toronto

money for the north line has been

pected that the balance Tor the other

lives on his brothers farm five miles
south Of Jnnius, lost all his effects
by fire. When some Of the family
started upstairs about 8 o'clock they
discovered that the whole attic was
in flames, the smoke driving them
down. Several of the children rushed
to the barn to tell their father, but
the whole house was soon a mass of
flames. The family escaped with very
little clothing and suffered much from
the cold, this being one of the coolest
nights in this locality. Some of the
small children did not even recover
their shoes.
