when they want to fatten the larger
ones, they put them in large feed
yard with feeder" that holds a
wagon load of grain. The hogs gather
around it and feed themselves the
wheat, and they never get hungry
enough nor in enough of hurry to
|gulp 1t down without chewing. The
wind mill supplies the tanks with
pure water, and the automatic water
ing device enables the hogs to at
tend to watering themselves. When
they drink so the water line falls to
la certain level, the fresh water flows
from the tank until the trough is
full when it stops flowing. BY these
means the hogs do their own chores.
The pigs on the range, (stubbles)
water themselves in the same way at
the tanks outside of the feed yard.
When coyote attacks the pigs they
wheel into a circle and fight with a
fury until Mr.. Coyote is repulsed.
then they make mastery retreat.
There is science and simplicity in
every branch of this work, from the
preparation of the soil to the billing
out of the wheat or the porkers when
they 60 to market. How to run a
dry farm, how to cut out unnecessary
expenses, how to utilize the by-prod-
ucts how to make it profitable, how
to enjoy making nature obey your
wishes, will be treated more fully in
connection with this very commend
able enterprise in later number of
this paper.

AN EFFECTIVE BOOSTER

A Blackfoot lady wrote to friend
of hers in Mackay, telling her that 1t
no longer be necessary for her
to send fine goods to Salt Lake City
to be renovated, as she had read in
the Blackfoot paper that all modern
equipment for cleaning, blowing and
pressing could now be done here. She
tried them with some goods that are
difficult to clean and everything had
come back perfectly clean and sweet.
She suggested to the Mackay lady
that she and her friends ship to
Blackfoot hereafter and save money
for themselves and save that much
employment to Idaho people instead
of sending it out of the state. The
lady said she would talk to her
friends about it, and see how many
of them were for Idaho first" adv.

NAMED 1T MORNINGsIDE

The new poultry farm of Fehnel C
Kirchner, just east of town, has taken
the name OF Morningside. 1t is on
the morning side of town and 1t
starts out in way that it deserves
to be on the morning side of good
cheer and success in It's operations.
The name was suggested by the edi-
tor of The Republican after looking
over the place carefully, and after
the owners had canvassed all the
names within range, they both de-
.cided that Morningside was the most
suitable and the most likeable name
that had come to their notice, and
they said, like the oracle, Let 1t be
recorded And 1t was SO.

COMPILED BY THE ASSO-

New York, Nov. 10.-Special Still
driving the Serbians before them, the
Austro-Germans have captured Kruz-
vac, on the railway northwest of
Nish, and reached Ivanjica, twenty
seven miles southeast of Kralcvo.
Nothing has come, though, of late
concerning the fighting in the south
of Serbia. where the British and
French forces are said to have effect
ed a junction with the Serbs, and for
several days have been giving battle
TO the Bulgarians.
For the moment the western zone
of France and Belgium affords no in
cidents of note. Artillery duels pre-
dominate, with here and there some
hand to hand encounters In the
trenches.
In the eastern zone the Russians
have returned to the offensive
against the Germans at several points

central section of the long battle line.

ELECTION Law


Pierre, Nov. 10.-The primary law
under which nominations will be
made for the next general election.
Is very much along the same lines Of
the old primary act, which was in
use of the state for a number OF
years before the Richards law" was
voted on by the people. But it con-
tains two features not a part of the
old law. One of them, party registra-
ton, which is practically a feature of
the Richards law" which was de-
sired to be retained; the other au-
thorizing the formation of new par
ty organizations, for affiliation with
any existing national party organiza-
ton, a feature which has been kept
out of all former South Dakota cleo
ton enactments. but was a part of
the proposed "Coffey law" which was
rejected by the voters at the last
election.
The registration feature of the new
law fixes the dates of registration
with township and city officers from
the first day OF February to the third
Tuesday in April, after which the
books must be sent to the county
auditor. But cards are also sent out
and any voter who fails to get his
name on the registration books be-
fore the third Tuesday in April, may
get in on the registration cards up to
the eighth day of May. which ends
the registration dates. A voter who
failed to register at all, is yet given
an opportunity to vote at the primary
but the election officers can only give
him d ballot of the party under
which he was registered at the last
primary election, and he is barred
from coming in and claiming a last
hour change of political heart.
The bull moose" people claim
that II there had been any provisions
for a new party organization in the
campaign of last year. they would
have certainly flocked by themselves,
but none such existed. But the new
law allows the formation of and the
placing upon the ballot of names OF
candidates on petition of less han ;
per cent of the total vote of all par
ties In the state for governor at the
last general election, which will allow
them to get in as a new organization,
such organization, though being re-
quired to be under the name of some
national party organization.
The primary date is the first Tues
day in June of even numbered years,
at which all candidates are to be
nominated, but the followers of any
national party. the vote of which at
the last election. did not exceed 10
per cen of the vote Of the state are
allowed to select their delegates to
their national conventions in any
manner at any time the party COM
mittee sees fit.
In case the national convention OF
any of the major parties is called at
a date too early for the selection OF
delegates at the June primary, then
a special primary for such selection
is to be called the first Tuesday in
April.
No group tickets can go upon the
primary ballot, other than of groups
for presidential delegates. All other
names must 60 upon the ballot as in
dividual mes.
