JACKSONVILLE YOUTH "A TALLY SHOT WHILE
 OFT HUNTING.

While out hunting on Christ mas day, Manley Burge, the 15- year-old son of L. M. Burge, a prominent farmer near Jackson vile, accidentally shot himself in the right side with a shotgun which slipped from his hands while he was mounting a stump. The hammer of the gun struck the stump, causing the gun to be discharged, the contents of one barrel entering the boys ab- domen. In this condition the plucky lad walked to his home, a mile away. Medical aid was summoned and everything done to save the lads life, but he died at 5 o'clock the same afternoon.
 This was the only son, and the family keenly feels the loss oc- casioned by the sad tragedy. MT. Burge has the sympathy of his neighbors and many friends throughout the State. MT. Burge was formerly amember of the State Tax Commission, and he is prominent in the councils of the Farmers Union.
 Manley would have completed the high school next year. He was converted at the age of II years and joined the Cedar Street Baptist church at Little Rock. He was at the time of his death vice president of the B. Y. F. U. at Jacksonville. Rev. Searcy of the Cedar Street Bap- tist church conducted the fu- neral Sunday afternoon at Jack sonville. It was certainly a sad funeral. Dr. Searcy spoke well of Manley, and said he had the proper name, for no doubt he was a manly boy. Every one, young and old, who knew him, loved him. The school, church, and the whole of Jacksonville will miss him. He was buried at Bayou Meto cemetery.

EIGHT MILLIONS
FROM POULTRY
PER CAPITA PRODUCTION FROM
THIS SOURCE IN SOUTH DA-
EOTA LEADS ILLINOIS AND
NEBRASKA.

Pierre. S. D.-The numerous
poultry shows over the state have
called out statistics from the state
immigration Department as to the
production OF eggs and poultry in the
state. The showing starts with
1899, with egg production at one
and three quarter million dollars,
brings it up to 1909 at four and a
quarter million dollars. The poultry
production for 1899 is placed at one
million dollars, and in 1909 ut two
and q quatrer million dollars, both
eggs and poultry showing q material
gain.
AT the same ratio of increase, the
production of eggs and poultry for
South Dakota for the year 1914 is
placed at some where between seven
and q half million dollars and eight
million dollars, which is greater than
the dairy products which have made
a great showing for the past few
years. 1t is about II fourth the
value of the wheat crop, and one
sixth the value of the orn crop. On
a population basis the per capita OF
poultry OF Illinois is placed at six
dollars for each person, for Missouri
at ten dollars for each person. and
for South Dakota. at eleven dollars
lor each person in the state.

FEWER BILLS TfElS SESSION
TRAN PUT IN LAST TIME

Pierre, S. D.-The present legiSla-
tive session has closed the first halt
OF its work, with the end OF the
thirtieth day last evening, and does
not show that it is attempting any
such volume of business as It's prede-
cessor did, regardless of the fight over
the ~senatorship in that session fo1
the first half. The number of bills
presented for the first half in the
house two years ago was 213, and for
this session 205. In the senate two
this year it is 1871 The bills this
| session are principally small ones
and the volume of the files is not
more than half what they We're TWO
| years ago at the same date.
AS for enactments, they are prac-
tically on a like basis. So far there
has been filed with the secretary OF
state but four senate bills, n SIX
house bills. They are:
Senate al, the appropriation act
for legislative expenses.
Senate so. appropriation for a
smoke stack at the Soldiers Home.
Senate "a, allowing Jail sentences
in certain cases of grand larceny.
Senate 46, appropriation for a
water tank at the school for feeble
minded.
House 81, providing for collection
of taxes against corporations.
House so, providing for tran
scribing records where new counties
are organized.
House 81. fixing manner of quail
fication of officers of new counties.
House "a. regulating manner of
finding population CT new counties for
fixing. official salaries.
House Z. regulating habeas corpus.
House H.. fixing powers of the
state game warden.
Highway Commission Up to Senate.
The members of the state high
way commission are ccnferring with
members in regard to the effurts to
wipe that commission of the map.
The house has passed it's bill to that
effect. and it is likely TO come up in
the senate on it's own bill at any
lime. The argument advanced gen.
orally is thai the highway ccmmis-
sion desires to take the control OF
roads from the hands of the local
authorities. which. the commission
members deny not only in fact but
in theory as we'll. 1t is also alleged
that this move to wine out he

MILK SEDIMENT
is DANGEROUS
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL TELLS
OF TEST BEING USED BY
SECRETARY N0RGNNS.

In an effort to better the milk
conditions in Mitchell. Secretary T..
j. Morgans. OF the Mitchell Com
mercial club has been voluntarily
making tests OF the mount OF sedi-
ment in the milk sold by local deal
crs. In scme instances, the amount
OF filth revealed has been amazing.
THESE tssts are made by Mr.. Nor
gans without charge, and all milk
VIII be returned to consumers who
submitted samples for the test. The
necessity of making the test is shown
by the following from The Farmer.
an agricultural journal published at
st. Paul, Mimi:
In an effort to secure clean milk.
several c~reaIneries and cheese fac
tories in Wisconsin have adopted the
milk-sediment test. Very often milk
or cream a sent to them which was
apparently only clean, for tie visible
dirt had been strained u leaving
the germs which had entered with the
filth still in the milk. Too often the
~dairymen. relying upon thoroueh
straining. had forgotten the neces-
SHY fo- keeping the dirt out OF the
milk in tle first place. In this test.
the patrons were requested to bring
ps'+i pAN " ! HIN anu CIcdIl DplOIe
stfaining. Then at the factory these
samples We're put through a cotton
filter. ono inch in diameter. Upon
cotton the sediment showed plainly
and thus tested the actual ~cleanli-
ness of the milk. These tests were
made by means of a simple apparatus
which forced the milk through the
cotton disc: but any farmer can make
this test for himself by fltering the
milk through a disc of clean white
absorbent cotton.
This test should be made before
the milk has been put through the
cream separator. for the separator
itself acts as a clarifier and the test
will not be a fair one. Much
OF the dirt in the milk remains
ciinging to the sides of the bowl OF
the separator. This in a way. is a
test. Notice the amount of sediment
left in this way in the bowl; and
remember hat this dirt once in the
milk introduces germs which are not
removed when the visible sediment
is removed.
An important point emphasized in
these tests was the value of the closed
or small-top milk pail. Sediment tests
were made of the milk when the op-
en- top pail was used and then when
the small top was used and the re-
suits showed that by the use of a
partially covered pail, other condi-
lions remaining the same, dairymen
We're able to decrease the amount of
sediment from fifty to seventy-five
per cent. By this simple means they
secured results that otherwise could
be obtained only through elaborate
and expensive changes in barns and
dairy fixtures. This improvement in
the milk was not merely an apparent
one. The dirt had not been remov-
ed; it had been kept out in the first !
place.

CITY GIVES WATER TO
SAVE FISH IN LAKE

Murdo. S. D.-The Chicago and
! Milwaukee Bridge and Building de-
partment has a large force of men at
work at Murdo connecting large
pump and water pipes with the city
we'll in order to supply the yailroad
engines with water. The city and
company own a large dam and lake
south of Murdo but upon inspection
recently it was found that it was
frozen nearly to the bottom and the
supply of water was running short.
The lake contains a large number
OF fine fish. The city. offered the use
of the we'll to the railroad company
on the condition that the excess wa
ter was to be pumped to the lake
and thus save the fish. The well is
over 5000 TT. deep and has an III
exhaustible supply of soft water but
it is considerable expense to run the
pun night and day.
Murdo is a division point and uses
a large amount of water at the round
house. 1t is the first time in the
history of the city that the water in
the dam has been s. low and it is
attributed to heavy use, and to the
extremely cold weather, and the i'm
mense crop of ice taken off.
