TRIBUTE TO BUTCHER.

Mr.. Ward E. butcher, mentioned in
the article below, taken from the Alb
erdeen News of Septmber 1S, was a
brother of Editor Paul butcher Of the
Brookings Register:
The persons Employed n the News
Printing company plant go about their
duties today with saddened hearts,
for a fellow workman, the dean of the
establishment in point of years of
service, lies at his home sleeping the
long sleep that knows no awakening.
1t is seldom indeed that one remains
in the employment Of one establish
ment SC long as w. E. butcher, who
passed away last evening, stayed with
the News Printing Company. For
twenty-seven years Mr.. butcher was
in charge of the job printing depart
ment of this establishment. For about
"a year he had been the travelling rep
r~esentative of the company. During
that long period OF service, he had
seen the ownership of the newspaper
had seen all the fellow workmen who
were employed by the News at the
time he started work, either go to
other establishments, enter business
for themselves, go into other yoca-
.tions, or pass to the great beyond.
but he labored Faithfully on, and
watched the paper and the job depart
ment grow from small beginnings to
the large establishment it now is, and
he had no small share in the building
of the institution to its present size.

The Redfield Journal Observer, referring to the ''Conde'
plan of saving the corn by burning straw stacks, suggests
that the idea is a feasible one since "t works so successfully
in the fruit orchards of the vest
The system which sworks SO successfully in the fruit
orchards Of the vest is altogether different from the mere
burning of a few straw stacks adjacent to the corn fields.
Smoke, for instance, if extended over d corn field, would
ward off a light frost-a very light frost-for the simple rea-
son hiatt smok" contains a certain degre" Of heat which it re
leases as it moves along. The more dense the smoke the
greater is the degree Of heat which it contains.
The editor of the Saturday News, ont of an abundance of
experience in orchard heating, thinks he knows whereof he
speaks when he says that the burning Of a straw stack or two
adjacent to a corn field will affect the frost in but a very linn
ted area-and practically none at all unless the stacks hap
pen to be on the windward side of the field, and, in the latter
event, the part affected would lie almost wholly within the
belt over which the wind carries the smoke, and consequently
the heat.
In those regions where artificial heat is resorted to in or
der to save fruit from damage by frost, the system involves the
placing of heaters at intervals throughout the orchard. The
general rule varies from fifty to one hundred heaters to the
acre, depending upon the amount of heat which each NAV be
capable of producing.
The writer hereof has had more than two thousand heat
ers going at the same time on a twenty-five acre tract. If the
consume coal, their care requires the service of a man
for about every two acres to replenish the fires. If crude oil
be used, the work involved is less, but the expense for fuel is
much greater.
During an EXCEPTIONAL severe freeze we maintained these
Ires for seven consecutive hours at a cost of one dollar per
hour per care, or seven dollars an acre for the nights operation
Does it pay? With the range of prices of fruit for the
few years, so far as the producer is concerned. it does
But few regions that have tried the system still continue
it. 1t has been found ineXpedient, under the circumstances.
And when it comes to saving the corn crops of South Da-
or elsewhere, through the burning Of straw, it must be
remembered that the straw must be on the windward side Of
the field; that the smoke must extend over the entire area to
be protected; that the fires must continue during the whole of
the time that the mercury is lingering within the danger zone;
furthermore, that smoke contains but a very small de-
of heat and, therefore, can ward off but a very light frost.
We are inclined to believe that the straw, stacked in the
where the cattle can get at it during the winter and
where the waste will be converted into fertilizer, is more valu-
than it would be as a frost-preventive alongside the corn

And reason marked his plan;

Is sympathy from man.

The throats that know the rise

PETTIGREW's PROPOSED CONSTITUTION.

The Huronite says that former Senator R. F. Pettigrew is
circulating a petition for a new state constitution, the distin-.
|gmshing feature of which is brevity. It contains, all told. only
live pages printed in large type. 0
But there are other peculiarties, as, for instance, the
3provision that no lawyers shall be eligible to legislative posi-
tons for the reason that they ''believe in the s~acredness Of
property rights rather than in the sacredness of human
Another peculiar clause is that which provides that the
courts shall not pass upon the consttutionaity Of any ques-
ton; also, that no law shall become effective until the expira-
ton of ninety days after its enactment excepting in case of
emergency, which shall be real and not pretended.
We might enumerate further, but we have pointed out
enough to show that the former senator is either a very radical
man III ms views or else that he is a very humorous sort of
Ia cuss.
Being a lawyer himself, and having served with dishnc,
ton in the territorial legislature and in both branches oil con
|gTess, ne ought to understand the qualifications of lawyers!
Senator Pettgrew is either very radical in his views or
else ne IS a very humorous sort Of a cuss desiring to keep the
animals well stirred up.
Having had to fight like the devil for every legislative p-
sltlon ne has ever secured, and having had to fight just "a
little harder to keep from being put out after he got in,Mr
PettlgreW is still on the Warpath.
1t it hadn't been for his fighting qualities he'd been dead
long %ago-would simply have just petered out, like some Of the
monarchial dynasties of old.
IT the senator keeps up the fight for his proposed consti-
tuition, and it the courts continue to help the movement along
with their foolish notions about the infallibiity of the courts
and the s%acredness Of court rights, we are not sure but that
the senator's browning achievement will come in his declining
years.
If we have d right to furnish munitions to fighting gov
lernments, we've the same right to lend ,em money!
The more bitter comments regarding the naming Of Mr..
Burke to succeed the late Mr. Thorson come from democratic
newspapers.
Nh. Loucks, the independent candidate for United States
senator IN 1914, says that the progressiyes who supported
|Mr. Burke for senator certainly haven't any grounds for kick

natioaal committee. For once, at any rate, those who have
never supported Mr. Ioucks for anything must admit the
~soundnessS Of his logic.

nYESTuEE SITUATION.

Reports which are received by the
United States bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce from different
parts of the country show that the
effects of the "dyestuff famine are
becoming more and more apparent
each day. In some instances textile
mills are forced to shut down for the
time being until new supplies of colors
can be obtained. This is especially the
case in works consuming large
amounts of indigo, the lack of which
has now become very acute. Manu-
facturers are now bringing out brown
denims instead of the familiar blue
fabric, but merchants and consumers
are reluctant to accept the substitute.
Similar notifications are made in a
multitude of cases, the primary pur-
pose as a rule being to reduce the ac-
tual amount of dyestuff consumed to
a minimum. The possibility of secur-
ing fairly satisfactory shades by the
use of vegetable dyestuffs has been
decisively demonstrated, and the con-
sumption of logwood, fustic, quercit-
ron, Clutch. hypernic, etc, has now at
tanned figures far beyond any record
output of the past. In the meantime
the few American manufacturers of
coal-tar colors are steadily expanding
their plants and are producing dye
stuffs in quantities hitherto unknown.
Equally noteworthy is the steady in
/ crease in the manufacture of interme-
dates, aniline oil, betana phthol, para
nitraniline, etc, by the firms lately
started in this field. There is a gen.
erai admiration Of the vigorous and
enterprising manner in which our
small group of dyestuff manufacturers
are striving to meet the urgent de-
mands of a multitude of perpleXed
mill owners in the textile, paper, and
other branches. Persistent attempts
are still being made to secure permits

German dyestuffs to this country from

HORSE AND MULE EXPORTS.

According to the federal authorities
all of the horses and mules that are
being shipped from this country to
Europe for war purposes can be read
ily spared because there was on hand
here the first of the year no less than
24OOO,0OO horses and 5000 900 mules
But the wise American farmer. who
has the facilities, will raise as many
draught animals as he can, for a big
ger foreign demand for work animals
will probably occur after the war,
when they will be sorely needed in
Europe for farming. And the prices
they will bring are certain to be as
sizeabIe, and probably larger. than
they are now. And these prices on
export work animals are averaging
from $40 to $50 a head more than the
average prices for several years back.
This is shown by statistics to the eff
feet that for several years past the an
nual average of horses shipped abroad
numbered $4,000 with an average
value of SLAP, and of mules. 5000
with an average value of $3.50. Dur
ing the 10 months ended April 80.
1915, the exports of horses numbered
215,759, valued at $47,7S3,S4S, or an
average of over 1920 per animal, and
1929 mules, valued at $7,47S,O14, or
over $3.50 per head.
