BE JUST TO YOUR CHILD.

There are many words of condem-
nation to be said concerning parents
who give way to the expression of
ill-temper, but surely this is the most
serious: that their dealings crush out
the sense of justice in the children.
The sense Nof justice is what makes
a man fit to be with is fellows. He
will give them what is due. He will
how to exact it. Justice is the great
principle of the social and business
world. Surely no n would train a
child so that he would lose that sense.
Yet the child that is punished in a
fit of parental ill-temper knows UNI
erringly that he is the prey of an un-
reasonable stronger power, says the
Mothers Magazine. He is punished
because he has infringed on his par
ents' comfort or convenience at an
inopportune moment. If he had done
the same thing when the parent was
feeling good-natured the chances are
that he would not have been punished
at all. What kind of a foundation
has he for understanding the moral
laws? Is it any wonder hat his ideas
of right and wrong are hazy? Nor is
this all. He becomes a mean truck
Ter to the irrational power I'VE him,
taking advantage of the good-natured
periods, and Lying low in the times
of stormy ill-temper. He is acquiring
the habit of ill-temper and lack of
self control from the example before
him, and he is certain to grow into
a disobedient child.

ish abundance. Many of the speci.

of this state, which occupied the bed
of the ocean ages ago, and many
more were gathered from the ends OF
the earth by trading with collectors
elsewhere. That several of the great
museums of Europe display more ma
terial from South Dakota than can
be found in any of the institutions of
our state is proof of the rarity and
value OF such specimens as compose
this collection.
Very recently the heads of the de-
partments of biology and chemistry
have busted themselves in making a
careful examination of these speci-
mems, and it is hoped that it will soon
be possible to present the entire col
lection in a form suitable for student

Alfalfa Must Have
Good Drainage

Alfalfa cannot stand wet feet. Now
that's Il fact in f%igurative language
1t means that alfalfa will not thrive
on badly drained, water-logged soil
1t likes to reach down three feet or
more to the water table, but above
there must be we'll ventilated soil.
It's q fact, that when land is In
fair shape for corn or potatoes it is
in no shape for alfalfa. Atlanta wants
a firm seed bed, fine of course, and
we'll pulveriZed, but firm underneath,
not loose. One may prepare corn or
potato land for alfalfa with a disk oft
times, loose just on top, but firm be-
low.
Alfalfa cannot start to grow among
weeds. II must have a clean seed bed
to do its best. 1t Is a strong grower
at last but not at first. If you use a
seeding of Sixty-Day oats as a nurse
crop for alfalfa, it Will help hold the
weeds in check-but SOW the nurse
crop thin-three pecks or less. If it
gets dry, set the mower high and cut
the oats for hay, otherwise let it
ripen for a grain crop.
Look out for dodder. Little specks
in alfalfa seed may look innocent;
they might be dodder. Be sure about
it. Look at them with a hand lens; if
they are rough-coated be still more
suspicious. Dodder seeds are yellow
and brown in color. Everybody should
help keep dodder out of South Dakota

He is to supply our dreadnaughts

Conklin. At u years of age he was
~apprenticed to a shoemaker and tan
ner and at 16 had mastered both
trades, and at 1S went into business

newly-formed Republican party and
took the stump for John c. Fremont,
and a year later left his home state
and located at Waterloo, Wis, where
he studied law and was admitted to
the bar, and in 1859 was elected to
the state legislature. In 1861, at the
outbreak of the rebellion, he enlisted,
and served in many capacities, all
with credit, in the war, after which
he again served in the Wisconsin leg
islature and in the internal revenue
service, meanwhile taking up newspa-
per work. In 1879 he came to South
Dakota, locating at Watertown, and
since then, until a few years ago, was
active in journalism, politics and mill
tary life in the state. His many
friends over the state are united in
