From the Herald:
They are talking of Strengthening
the channel of the Big Sioux river
from Brookings to the Moody county
line. H. M. Derr, state engineer, has
made a preliminary estimate of the
cost per acre and finds that it would
be about $500. This, of course, would
have to be paid by the farmers, but it
would make a large tract Of land, now
useless, available for grain raising and
farming purposes.

News of the marriage of Mr.. Ray
Pickering and Miss Ida Hovey has
been received here from San Diego,
California, where the marriage took
place. The news comes somewhat as
a surprise, although it is known that
they have been good friends for some
time. Miss Hovey went to California
with her parents last fall to spend the
winter. Mr.. Pickering left a short
time ago and now news zones Of the
marriage. Both young people are well
known here; the bride is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Hovey and
the groom is associated with his father
in the transfer business. They have
a host of friends who wish them a
long, happy and prosperous married
life.

had the pleasure of being shown
through their new post Office building
by Postmaster Oyloe. They have just
moved in and things are in a little
confusion, but we doubt If there is ii

arranged for a post Office in the state.
The citizens of Brookings should be
proud of it.

ATTEMPT new DRIVE
TEuTONs TO. ATTACK LEMBERG
FROM NORTH.
Russians Along Lubsczowka--Wusz
da Front Hard Pressed-Town
Destroyed by German Shells.

Petrograd, June 16.-With their
drives against Lemberg (Lvov) from
the east and south checked, the Aus
tro-German army under General Won
Mackensen is now trying to cut
through the Russian lines to attack
the Fortress Of Lemberg from the
north. Heavily REINFORCED Austro-
German columns are battling along the
Wusznia and Lubaczowka rivers east
and northeast of Jaroslau in an effort
to reach Lubsczow and Jaworow,
northeast of Lemberg. Both Lubaczow
and Jaworow are connected with Lem
berg by railroads.
Dispatches from the front indicate
that the Russians along the Lubsczow
ka-Wusznda front are hard pressed,
owing to the great amount of heavy
artillery massed there by the Germans
and the apparently inexhaustible am
munition supply of the Teutonic al
lies.
Fighting continues at number of
places in Poland, Shawl (Szwale), has
been practically destroyed by the can
nonade Of the Germans with their
heavy hoWitzers.

PAYS 100000 FOR COTTON
England Turns Over First lnstallnent
for Seized Cargoes-$12,o00,-
600 to Come.


New York, June 16.--Bankers and
marine insurance interests here were
gratified by news from London that
the British government had paid an
installment of none than 100000 on a
cargo of American cotton seized on
the way to Sweden.
In March and April Great Britain
detained 26 ships carrying 100000
bales Of cotton, valued at $12,000,000.
Drafts drawn against these shipments
were discounted by bankers and trust
companies in New York. They fall
due within a few days and anxiety
had been expressed over the possible
ty of losses from delay on the part Of
Great Britain in paying for the cot
ton.

Swine.

II u
The improved breeds of hogs in this
country at the present time, are developed
from the different kinds of wild hogs found
in in this country and in Europe, and the
development along many lines has been
very great, hogs at the present time mature
in about one half the time and are inclined
TO become very fat and have good dispos-
ition, which is altogether different from
their original characterittics.
To be successful in hog raising it is nee
essary TO have good stock to start with for
the reason that they will fattrn easier, grow
larger, and mature at an earlier age. In a
general way hogs are divided into two
classes, one kind for lard and one for bacon
the best lard hogs being the Poland China,
DuEgck jersey while the best bacon hogs
are the Berkshires and Hamtshires. There
are several other breeds that come under
these two Glasses and may be just as profita-
bic in many localities. The Poland China
sows are not liked By many breeders for the
reason that they have such small litters of
pigs while the Duroc JearseY sows usually
have very large litters.
In order to select good type for lard see
that the hog has small head a thick short
neck, compact body with short back and
short legs and deep fat sides while good
Bacon hogs are almost opposite in make OF
having rough head thin neck, thin slender
back, long bodied and deep sides.
.Itis necessary to have large pasture
for hogs to run in while they are growing
where there is plenty of good grass or clover
they will grow much faster and have better
health. 1t is not good policy to keep
stock hogs aid growing pigs in a pen for
they do not get enough exercise to make
them develope, and grass can be provided
cheaper than other good growing feeds Be
careful in seeing that the heard has been
free access to good pure water, salt, sui
pher and charcoal, these things are benih-
cial TO item and act as preventative against
different diseases. There are abovt four
distant pioriods during the process of gett-
ing the pig ready for market. The first
eight weeks the pig depends upon the
mothers milk and begins, TO eat, the second
eight weeks they will get along good on
skim milk and slop, the third eight weeks
they should be on. pasture clover, is the
best, and the last eight weeks they are ready
to put in pen and begin heavy feeding
During the four pioriods Of eight months
agood pig should weight in the neighhor :
hood Of two hundred and fifty pounds and
and but very little commercial feed has
been used. | think one will fnd it very
workable to extend their fences to give
them larger ranger range and try bunch
of hogs in this way.

The bulletin of tie Uni.ed S ates Depart
ment OF Agriculture speaking of the favor
able results obtained by the use of borax
says: 1T possesses marked largieidaI
action and appears to exert no permanent
injury on the fertilizing of the manure. =
The Bulletin reckons the cost of borzx
treatment, using ordinary commercial borax
costing five or six cents per pound, to be
one cent per horse per day and recommends
about pound of borxx to every IS cubic
feet or l. bushels of manure immediately
after It's removal from the stable, or in other
words, about pound per horse per week.
1t further advises the sprinkling of the borax
through any fine sieve over the manure,
especially around the outer edges if placed
| in pile and that the whole be sprinkled
with three to five gallons of water.
While the State Board of Health would
not for moment frown on the use of borax

Where practical, manure should be placed

cannot deposit more eggs in the manure.
Such box should be cleaned out thoroughly
not less than once every five days, or better
