Northwest News Notes

Damp wheat, in the daily grain
receipts in Minneapolis, has fall
len, in the last two weeks, from
80 to 13 per cent. The millers
of Minneapolis had been consid-
erably disturbed when the effect
of the rainy weather Of Septem-
Der began to show in such heavy
receipts of damp wheat. The
more recent dry weather has bet
tered the situation appreciably.
Charging discrimination on
the part of four grain elevators
at Revillo and Albee, the state
has comm enced an action to
investigate the allegations and
seek to correct the evil if one is
found to exist. 1t is alleged that
these four companies have been
paying from two to six cents
more a bushel for grain bought
at Revillo and Albee than they
have for grain purchased at other
stations along the same line
where the freight rates are the
same.
Under the 1915 census figures,
South Dakota will set up the
claim of having the largest per
capita wealth of any state in the
United States, according to I'm
migration Commissioner Mac
Caffree. The 1915 per capita
wealth showing in South Dakota
is So, 1872 Oh. This average is
based upon assessment returns,
which do not give full valuation
returns on either real or person
al property. Mr.. MacCaffree es-
Inmates that a full valuation

South Dakota's wealth at $4,000

Jones Grants
Bank Injunction

Sioux Falls. Nov. 9.-Before
leaving for S a e m yesterday,
Judge Jones announced his de-
clslon in the state bank deposit
injunction cases. He granted the
lnJunctions as prayed for by the
four national banks of Sioux
Falls, restraining J. r. Wing
held, the public examiner, from
enforcing his ruling requiring
the state banks throughout the
state to deposit so per cent of
their reserve with the state
banks in the cities designated as
reserve cities. This decision of
Judge Jones ends the cases so
TAR as the circuit court is con-
cerned, and nnless Judge Jones
Is reversed by t h e supreme
court, the public examiner is
lett without power to force the
state banks to make their re.
serve deposits in other S ia te
banks.
On August Is, 1915, J. l..
Wlngfeld, the state bank exam
lner, issued an order requiring
that all state banks from and
after November Is, 1915, keep
on deposit within the state of
OF South Dakota in banks organ.
ized under and by virtue of the
laws of the state of South OAK
ota, a sum of money equal to SO

The practical effect of the or

Dakota and to keep their re-
serve in state banks,
This order was approved by
Governor Byrne and Attorney
General Caldwell.
Against the order many banks

Concerning Bryan's
Friendship for Wilson

Washington, Nov. S.-Follow-
ing is what Bryan said last Sat
urday concerning his friendship
| for President Wilson:
Il have no plans formulated.
| am doing what believe to be
the duty of every citizen to do.
How can the president know
what the people think unless in
dividuaIs express themselves?
Those who approve of his
! plan do not hesitate to say so.
Why should those who differ be
silent? The editors Of metropol-
itan newspaper who daily fling
incense before the social inter.
ests do not hesitate to express an
opinion as to what the country
needs.
Why should a country editor
like myself be denied the prive.
'lege?
And why should a Democrats
friendship for the president be
questioned when he differs with
the president on an issue like
this, which has nothing in the
history of the country or party
to commendit? The presidents
appeal was not to members OF
his party, but to the people of
al shades and opinions.
when did it become unpatri-
otic for a citizen to differ from
a president? When did it be-
come disloyal for Democrat to
differ from a Democratic presi
dent on an issue which the pres
ident declared to be nonpartisan?
THE president said he would
ask those who differed from him
to express'their opinion. He GER
tainly will be the last to COM
plain because his request is COM
piled with. A great many peo-
ple-no one can definately state
the number, but they are quite a
multitude believe that we can
not insure he nation against
war by adopting the very policy
which led Europe into war. 1t
is more reasonable to assume
that peace can be produced be-
tween nations by the same phil
osophy which promotes peace
between individuals in commun-
iities.
Weare now spending $3.50. .OO0,- :

great many think that it is en-

FEED OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Do With Future Strength and
VIgor of Resulting Chicks.

The ration fed the breeders is OF
very great Importance, as it has a
great deal to do with the future
strength of the pen.
The breeders should preferably be
isolated from the rest of the flock by
placing them in yard and clean pen
to themselves. When this is done you
should feed them everything they get
to eat. Some may think this is a dis
advantage, but you can then know to
certainty just what the fowls are
getting to eat and this is a very impor-
tant item during the breeding season.
Feed plenty of good, wholesome
food.
Give them as great a variety of food,
grains and vegetables as it is possible
for you to provide. This is one of the
secrets of strong chicks. A variety of
food forms balanced ration and such
a ration means strong germs.
Plenty of green food is essential, as
well as sufficient meat food, for they
supply elements of food that cannot
be found in any other ration and
which are necessary to the proper
structure of the egg. But care should
be taken not to overfeed on these ele-
ments as such an occurrence will do
more damage than one might suppose.

MONEY IN SORTING POTATOES
Consumers, Large and Small, DO Not
Like Mixed Lots-Demand is for
Uniform Sized Tubers.

There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes. Consumers, large
and small, do not like mixed lots. They
want them uniform in size and quality.
Consequently potatoes are usually
sorted before being put on the market
and the price which is paid the potato
grower is the price of sorted potatoes,
less the cost of sorting. Therefore. the
potato grower who ships unsorted po-
tatoes really has to pay the charge of
sorting.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes.
also, has to pay another charge, and
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken out of his shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes.
therefore. is simply wasting money.
1t pays to sort because it gives one
the top market prices and because it
saves freight on culls, and, it might
be added. because the culls could be
kept on the farm and made use of in
rations for live stock.

SAFETY FIRST WITH BULLS
Dehorning Does Net Take All Mean
ness Out of Animal, but It Limits
His Powers of Wickedness.

Take off his horns! That is the first
plank in the safety-first platform as
applied to bulls. Dehorning does not
take all the meanness out Of one or
the critters, but it certainly limits his
powers of wickedness and his ability
to do great bodily harm to other
cattle or to his owner. With dehorn-
ing as easily done as it is today there
is not a shadow of an excuse for per-
hitting the bull to go on carrying his
natural weapons of offense and de-
tense.
The second plank in the platform is
to keep the bull Gagged up where his
powers of mischief making will be dis
tinctly limited. Permitting him to run
in the open pasture is to court trouble.
A big percentage of the attacks made
upon human beings by bulls occur out
in the open lot or in big pasture,
where, when the victim is once down,
he has little chance to escape, unless
he is fortunate enough to be in imme-
date reach of help. Leaving an ami
NAL with such capabilities for trouble
out in the open in this way should
come under the head of criminal care
lessness.
A good many of these animals are
made more naturally vicious by the
teasing and annoyance they are sub
jected to at the hands of mischievous
boys and unthinking farm hands.
There is no surer way to spoil an ami
mails temper and to make of him a
regular terror than to start the prac.
tice of wrestling with him and teas
ing him when calf. Many young
bulls bred on the farm are spoiled in
Just this way.

ALFALFA AN ACCIDENT
How Crop Was Established on
Hooking County (0hio) Farm.
Farmer Purchased Seed for Mammoth
Glover, Which Is sown in Wheat
Novel implement for Work
ing Between Rows Of Corn.
(By w. A. LLOYD

On certain farm in Hooking coun-
ty, Ohio, alfalfa was introduced by
accident about twenty years ago.
Seed was purchased for mammoth
clover, which was sown on wheat in
April About one-half of the seed
proved to be alfalfa, which came un
nicely in the wheat and was thought
at the time to be sweet clover. The
plants came on well after the wheat
was harvested. and upon investigation
were found to be alfalfa. This led to
the establishment of the five to six
year rotation; corn, wheat, followed
by alfalfa for three or four years. Dur
ing all of these years this method
of seeding has been uniformly sue
cessful
Last year small field was seeded
to alfalfa in standing corn with good
results, and this year about 20 acres
have been seeded in the same way.
The seed is sown after the last cultiya-
ton, and covered with a small plank
drag. This is a rather novel, home
made implement, "a inches wide and
% inches long, that works between the
rows OF corn. This dragging covers
the alfalfa nicely and leaves the
ground in a fine. level condition.
Should this method prove uniformly
successful it will take the place of
the present practice of seeding in the
wheat. Both of the above methods
are being successfully followed by
alfalfa growers in Ohio.
The method of harvesting the alfalfa
is also somewhat different from that

TRAMP SIL0 WHILE FILLING
One or Two Men Needed to Give ST.
Iage Such Compactness as viii
Insure Its Proper Curing.

The Importance of tramping while
filling is one that must be given con-
sideration. In silo at least one or
two men are needed in order to give
the silage such compactness as will
insure proper curing. The outside or
near the silo wall should be kept the
highest and made in the most compact
condition. This will prevent spelling,
which is so very frequent in poorly
packed silage.
If the silo is filled quickly and poor
ly tramped, there will be a large
amount of settling. Where a farmer
owns his own outfit 1t will pay to
allow this settling to take place for
one or two days and then fill up the
silo.

PROPER TIME TO FILL sILo
Begin Operation Soon as Corn Has
Reached Right Stage for Fod-
der-Let the SiIage Settle.

By ]. G. WATSON. Missouri Expert
ment Station.)
Don't wait too long to fill the silo.
Begin as soon as the corn is right for
fodder. The kernels should be in the
dough stage but dente6 and the lower
leaves turning brown. Let the corn
mature as much as possible without
becoming so dry that water must be
added to make the silage pack solidly
and ferment properly.
Cut into pieces half to three-fourths
of an inch long to make them pack
well and to prevent waste in feeding.
This takes more power but is worth
it. Pack well with concrete hampers,
keeping the silage higher at the wall
than in the center.
Fill slowly, if possible letting the
silage settle a day or so at time.
This makes it keep better and in
creases the amount the silo will hold
This amount may be still further in
creased by using woven wire to hold
more silage at the top. 1t will grad
ually settle into the silo but tends to
spoil while doing so. If more silage
is added after such settling, take out
the spoiled layer at the top.
If caught by frost. the corn for sill
age should be cut before it dries out
After that, add water. The corn may
even be shocked to put in at a more
convenient time or to refill the silo

SEGREGATE ALL AILlNG HOGS
for choIera-Keep Isolated Until
Trouble Is Defined.

Just as soon as it is noticed that
a hog is sick, it should be separated
from the herd and kept isolated I'M
til the exact nature of the trouble
can be determined.
Diseases which are most frequently
mistaken for hog cholera are intes-
final worms, various digestive dis
turbances, lung worms. Inflammation
of the bowels and necrobacillosis. The
last named disease is caused by the
same germ that is responsible for
sore mouth and bull-nose of pigs.
Most of the confusion of the two dis
eases arises from the fact that in
some cases pigs affected with NEGRO
bacillosis will show the speckled ap-
pearance of the kidneys, which has
been looked upon as so characteristic
of hog cholera.
Hog cholera serum is of no value
in combating any disease except hog
cholera.

PLACE FOR NoxloUS PLANTS
Sweet Clever, Once Desplsed Weed,
Now Valuable Forage crop-This-
tie Makes Good SlIaae.

The weeds of yesterday may be-
come the cultivated crops of tomor-
row. Not many decades ago, at
least in the memory of some persons
now living, the tomato was weed
of little value. and generally believed
to be poisonous. Not more than FIVE
years ago. sweet clover which grows
so profusely along the roadside in
many states was a despised weed.
Now it is valuable forage crop and
soil improver, the demand for the
seed being greater than the supply.
Western farmers are finding that
even the much detested Russian this
tie makes good silage for stock feed
ing. Every plant that grows has a
useful place in the economy of nature.
That some plants are weeds is be-
cause we have not yet learned how
to utilize them to our advantage.

The second day it is raked up and
