A man once allowed his Fire Insur- snce to lapse His intention was to re- new it in 8 few days, but before that time arrived fire had destroyed every thing of value that he possessed. Don't put yourself in his position. A Fire Insurance Policy is an Absolute Necessity.

SAL DEATH OLA MOTHER.

The angel OF death stopped a moment
among US Monday, December 2lst. at
midnight and carried away the spirit of
the bloved wife of Alfred Pierce thus
saddening the whole community. where
she was widely known and dearly loved :.
Mary Ethel Price was born in Hughes
county, South Dakota, September -,
1884; died December 81. 1914, age 80
years. On September 4, 1907 she was
united in marriage to Alfred Pierce and
to this union was born FIVE children, one
of which has gone on before. Mrs.
Pierce united with the Methodist Epis-
copal church at Pierre in early woman
| hood.
On Sunday December 13. little son
was born to Mr. and Mrs. Pierce. Mrs.
Pierce seemed to be doing nicely for a
time, but was taken worse and passed
away on Monday at midnight, leaving
two little girls and two boys. the oldest
little girl of six, the youngest baby
boy nine days old.
This sad death takes lovely woman
from among us; saddens happy home,
leaves heart-broken husband and four
dear little ones without mothers care,
for whom the hearts of Stanley county
people are filled with sympathy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Price of Custer,
father and mother of Mrs. Pierce, ar
rived Tuesday morning, Lee Pierce.
brother of nv. Pierce, is here from
Gettysburg, and Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Price, brother of Mrs. Pierce and sister
of Mr.. Pierce, from south of town are
here. The funeral was held at the Con-
gregational church, Wednesday morning
at 10 O'Clock.
Rev. Z. o. Machamer, pastor of the
M. E. church at Pierre. of which the
deceased was member, preached a
most comforting sermon. The Congre-
gational church choir sang, closing with
Nearer My God to Thee. ."-Stock Grow

BLACKLEG VACCINE
Furnished Free by Department Of Agricul:
ture to Those Who Have Grazing
Permits ON Forest Reserves.

Persons who Craze cattle on the nal
tional forests are daily making large
number of requests of forest officers for
blackleg vaccine, which is supplied free
Of cost to those who haye cattle grazing
permits. The vaccine is furnished by
the Department of Agriculture.
For several years past the department
has furnished free to cattlemen who are
permittees on the forests this blackleg
vaccine, in order that they may protect
their herds from the losses caused by
the diseases Before vaecinstion against
blackleg was introduced the annual loss
es to the stockmen were very heavy, in
some cases running as high as so per
cent Of an owners calf crop. The dis
ease is confined principally to animals
between the ages of 8 and 18 months,
comparatively few being attacked after
they are year and half old. Calves
vaccinated before they are months old
are not rendered immune for more than
a few months and must be revaccinated, :
hence stockmen wait until their calves
are past that age before vaccinating. A
better practice is to vaccinate the calves
at the age of 4 to 6 months, again at
year of age, and till again one year
later.
Vaccination, however, is not cure
for animals already infected with the
disease, though it prevents a healthy
calf from becoming infected. The dis
ease appears to be most prevalent dur
ing the fall months, but where vaccina-
ton is followed regularly the annual
losses from blackleg have been practic-
ally eliminated.

TIE FUEL VALUE or WOOD.

The fuel value of two pounds of wood
is roughly equivalent to one pound of
coal. This is given as the result of ex-
periments conducted at the forest pro-
ducts laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin;
the tests showing also how many cords
of certain woods are required to produce
heat equal to that of ton of coal.
Many of the eastern hardwoods such
as hickory, oak, and maple were found
to have fairly high heat values of which
only one cord is equivalent to ton of
good coal. Other species like the hem.
lock, red gum, sycamore, and Douglas
fir require cord and half, while the
softer and particularly the western conf
frs like the cedars, redwood. pine and
spruces, require two cords to equal a
ton of coal. 1t is also found that equal
weights of dry, non-resinous woods have
practically the same heat value regard.
less of species and, as a general PROPOSE
ton it can be said that the heavier the
wood the more heat to the cord. Weight
for weight, however, there is very little
difference between the various species.
Reslnous woods have a greater heat
value per pound than non-resinous
woods.
1t is said that 95 per cent of all woods
used for fuel is consumed for domestic
purposes. Each section of the country
has its favorite woods. Hickory of the
non-resinous woods has the higest heat
value, and also has the advantages of
burning evenly and retaining the heat
Pine has relatively low heat value but
has the advantages of figniting easily and
giving out quick hot flame, but one
that soon dies down. This makes it a
favorite with rural housekeepers as a
summer fuel.

PRAIRIE DOG PESTS
Movement on Foot to Have Law Passed
for the determination Of
Prairie Dogs.

Buffalo Gap. ranchers have started a
movement to have state law passed to
provide for the determination of the
prairie dog pest in the western part of
the state. 1t is planned by those in
terested to try aud secure a law similar
to the law of the state of Kansas, which
gives county commissions and town
ship officers the power of hiring labor to
systematically extern mate prairie dogs
in all infested districts, and the cost of
such work is assessed as taxes to land
owners on the amount of acreage they
have had cleaned of the pest.
Under the new methods of poisoning
and use of gas, government experts have
found that the expense Of ridding land
of prairie dogs does not exceed fifteen
or twenty cents per acre. Most any
land owner would be glad to pay even
twice that much to be entirely rid of
the pest, and know that all land adjoin-
ing had been cleaned up 30 they would
not move in again.
The prairie dog is one of the most
destructive pests that the ranchers and
farmers have to contend with in the
west of the river country. There are
now thousands of acres of land in west.
ern South Dakota made useless for graz
ing or any other purpose by the grass
root eating and burrowing nature of the
prairie dog.
Only by United and enforced action
can they be wholly destroyed, and we
believe that this movement should have
the active support Of all parties interest
ed, so the matter can be pushed in the
legislature at Pierre this month.-Buffa-
