Recently a meeting of representa-
tives of creameries and cream buyers
from the northwest states met in
Brookings to consider the matter of
buying cream according to grade. This
is a subject that has been before them
for several years but no concerted ac-
ton has ever been taken. After a
thorough discussion of the subject it
was decided to favor legislation requir-
ing the grading of cream, and bills will
be introduced in the legislatures of the
various states.-De Smet News.
The foot and mouth" disease will
not attack humans, it is said by ex-
perts. This does not seem possible
when to our certain knowledge, e "
eral Manson women have been afflict-
ed with it for years. 1t strikes them in
the feet and they run all Owe town,
stopping here and there to allow their
mouths to run out a bunch of gossip.
1t is "ketchin" because they often get
perfectly healthy-minded nm
"pizened" with the virus and then
there are two gossips where there was
only one. Unlike the disease in cattle,
hogs and sheep, the foot and mouth"
disease in humans is absolutely in
durable and cannot even be quaran-
tined.-Manson, Iowa Democrat.
A farm paper gives the following in
a recent issue under the heading,
Money to Burn: "The grain raisers OF
the northwest truly have money to
burn" and every fall they burn their
money in great bonfires of straw. A
ton of straw contains more fertilizer
than a ton of less water. A
ton of straw is $3.50 fertilizer figured
at actual market value of it's elements.
A ten ton straw pile (worth the price
of a fine suit of clothes for father or
mother) makes a beautiful $25 blaze
for an hour, lighting up the country
for miles around. Only farmers, main
ly grain ~raisers, burn their money at
$25 an hour. A hundred ton of straw
from 1873 acres, will burn all night at a
cost of $25O.O0.
In a letter from our old friend, Mat
Heating of Milwaukee, among other
things he says: "You may be thank
full that you live in South Dakota, for
times here are something terrible.
Right now they are straining hard to
collect enough money to keep the
thousands of men and families who
are destitute from freezing or starving
to death. We have just passed through
a week of terrible cold weather, and
the suffering in the city has been heart
breaking. AS I write, a copy of yes
terday's Journal lies before me, ap-
pealing desperately for aid for the
needy-money, old clothes OF anything.
Three babies dead already-poor little
things-because their people were des-
titute. That could never happen in
South Dakota."-Howard Democrat.
One writer on the market situation
ltdIS tuC dClCdSC VI WhCot l. NC co
great next year that the worlds mar
ket will be c%ongested. Such a situa-
ton could be possible, and it would
happen If the farmers of the world
increased their acreage enough. But
that is not at all probable. Undoubted-
ly the price of wheat will be high next
season if only the normal acreage is
sown. Any increase in acreage of
wheat must be made at the expense Of
some other crop, and no practical
farmer is going to put everything into
wheat. The same condition that
forces the price of wheat upward is
going to make a good demand for
other farm products. The acreage of
wheat may be some greater next year,
but the farmers are not going to raise
all wheat and no feed crops.-De Smet
