The population of South Dakota TO
July l, is estimated at 661, 5S3 per
sons in a bulletin of the United States

issued. This is a gain of II. 695 since
the federal census of 1910, or over Is
per cent.
The picking of seed corn is EN-.
phasiZed all over the country and
rightly so, but there is not as much
emphasis placed upon seed wheat. II
a farmer has not raised the kind OF
seed he wants to SOW another year,
now is a good time to look about and
see who had the c~leanest field, and Sc
cure seed from this source.
A reader of the Register want to
know how is the best way to eat corn
on the cob when one has company.
Our way is to lubricate well with but
ter, sprinkle on a little salt and pepper,
open your mouth to its maximum ca
pacity and initiate as closely as posi-
BILE a Berkshire hog in competition
with a whole drove Of his kind. AS
soon as the company sees the host
sail into 1t that way they follow suit
for that is the way that everybody
really enjoys eating corn.
Fruit stains are now in order, and
two Brookings housekeepers have
come forward with successful rem
edies not generally known and yet
labor-saving. The first is pure glycer'
ine-the stain is to be moistened with
it before the article stained Is sent
to the laundry. II is claimed to be
Qultt tHttludl, anu ~ Ell WI III vi
glycerine ought to last a year. The
other remedy is spirits Of camphor, APP
piled as soon as possible or before the
stain is wet with water or SEN TO the
laundry.
The following regulation Of the
state board of health is now in force
and effect: No person or persons shall
maintain in any city, town or village,
any horse or cow stable, garbage pile,
dumping ground, or such other place
in such a name that it will afford a
feeding or breeding place for flies. All
manure, garbage or other forms Of
waste shall be kept in closed bins and
in such a way as TO prevent the breed
ing of flies or else removed twice a
week during the months Of April 70
October inclusive.
The directors Of the fair association
met Saturday evening and elected J +.
Brooke and H. f. Riley as secretary
and assistant secretary. We have been
unable 10 learn which is the secretary
and which the assistant, but both are
good men and will take care of their
job, if they know which one il is. Mr..
Brooke informs the Register that il
is not the intention Of the new officers
to keep secret the details of the next
fair and that they will try 10 cooper
ate with the newspapers and the PEG
pie Of the county generally in making
the fair d success.
The ladies Of the Civic League have
taken up the work of preparing an ex
hibit Of hand work for the state fair
10 be held al Huron from September
14th TO 18th, inclusive. All kinds Of
hand work, excepting professional
work, Of course. will be eligible. Every
house in town will be visited by 50
licitors SOC and il is hoped that ever!
woman Will find al least one article q
send TO the fair, for quantity and vaI
iety are considered. in Judging the eI
hibits as well as quality and workman
ship. The work will be well take
care OF from the time il leaves you
home until ii is returned, as those who
have ent their work in previous year
Will testify. Look over your posses
sions. and if you have any piece o.
hand work of any kind, send ii. So
that Brookings may make q bette,
showing than ever before. Every loye'
citizen should be eager to do all she
can to place Brookings at the head o.
the list IN this contest-Civic League
At harvest time and al threshing
time the progressive farmer will loon
about him and see who has produced
the greatest yield of wheat per acrs
and who has produced the best aul
c%leanest seed. From his own observe
tions, he may learn something tina
may be TO his advantage, says Pro-
Hutton of the State College. When
he has found the pest yielding whear
field, let him ask the owner of the field
ONE questions. First, What kind Of
seed did you SOW? Second, How do
you happen to SOW it? Third, What
