had brought with me an old thresh-
ing machine with which ] used to go
around through our neighborhood in
Ohio every fall doing odd jobs OF
threshing. OF course I made little
money at this, but when / figured out
the time the old machine stood idle.
about ten months in the year-and re-,
pairs l had to pay for and the time
spent in hunting up jobs, I quickly
discovered that the old rattletrap had
cost me good deal of money.
l traded the outfit for a bunch of
yearling calves and felt that had a
load off my chest.
Within week after had made my
trades and purchases ] had the sheep
busy cleaning up a 20-acre pasture,
over 100 chickens were scratching
their living out of the fields, the hogs
were putting on flesh; the cows made
more butter than we could use, which
brought us In cash every week, and
the calves were laying money on their
ribs right along. Everything was
working night and day.
OF course l could not make all the
changes l wanted at once, but within
six months every head of live stock on
! the place was good of it's kind, and
profitable. That is the main thing,
to invest ones capital only in things
that will bring returns on the invest
ment.
/ never before had realized how
greatly handicapped the farmer is
who tries to work with old, half worm
out machinery, decrepit horses that
cannot do more than half days work
in day, cows that eat more than
they earn, and who has no poultry or
sheep to clean up the stuff that would
otherwise go to waste.
By changing my methods / have
made three times as much money
since l came to South Dakota as l
ever did in Ohio, although l do not
think my land is any better and We
do not work as hard.
I have exactly the same amount of
land had in Ohio and perhaps l have
learned how to farm it better, but /
attribute what little success / have
had to the fact that everything on the
place is productive and that l keep
everybody and everything busy every
| minute can.

Feed in racks, so that the ducks can
not soil and waste the food.
About the middle Of November, the
birds are put on their laying ration,
which must not be changed till the
season ends. Feed night and morning
the following MIXTURE Five parts Of
corn chop, five parts of bran, two
parts Of middlings, two parts of meat
scraps, four parts of cut green stuff,
five per cent of coarse sand Mix and
moisten SO the mass is crumbly. An
addition of three or four parts of
boiled vegetables is desirable If it can
be provided. The "greenstuff" may be
rye, clover, oats, alfalfa, or whatever
can be most easily provided. In the
winter finely cut clover or alfalfa that
has been scalded over night is good
substitute.
One large duck grower states: "In
exactly three weeks after beginning
this feeding, you will commence to
gather eggs" Pekin ducks are splen-
did layers, and large flocks will aver
age 100 to lao eggs per duck in the
season.

HENS DUST BATH IN WINTER
Fine Road Dust Is Essential for Keep
ing Fowls Free From Vermin Dur
ina Cold Weather.

A box of fine road dust should be
kept within easy reach of the hens
every day in the year when there is
no dust in the yards for the hens to
wallow in. OF course, hens on free
range in summer and fall will usually
find an unlimited supply of dust ready
at hand or at most all we need to do
is to spade up place if the soil in the
yard is hard.
The dust bath is just as essential In
winter in keeping the fowls free from
lice as it is in hot weather. Lice thrive
and multiply in winter as we'll as in
summer; not so rapidly, of course, yet
fast enough in the average poultry
house to make life torture for the
hens II nothing is done to keep the In
sects In check.

POTATO RIOTS QUITE COSTLY
important to Treat All Tubers Show
Ing Affection With Solution Of
Mercury Bichloride.

Various types of rot annually de-
stroy many thousands of dollars
worth of potatoes. The rots respon-
sible for much of these damages are
internal brown rot, powdery dry rot,
soft rot and stem rot.
Very often tubers are attacked In
the field or in storage by soft rot
which quickly reduces the potatoes to
a soft. Shiny, foul-smelling mass.
The stem rot fungus, rhizoctonia,
produces on the tubers small dark
brown bodies which resemble bits of
soil. These bodies are the wintering-
over stage of the fungus and may
spread very rapidly from one tuber to
another under improper methods OF
storage. While this fungus does not
itself cause a rot of the tuber, 1t may
pave the way for such reproducing
organisms as the dry and soft rots. OF
these diseases, rhizoctonia and the or
only produce whiting of the vine. It
is. therefore, important to treat all
tubers showing the presence of the
brown soil-like bodies with solution
of mercury bichloride and to discard
for seed all tubers showing the brown
ring discoloration.
Internal brown rot may live in the
soil for five or six years. II potatoes
are grown continually year after year
on the same soil these organisms will
increase in number, and, as conse
quence, the percentage of wilted vines
and rotted tubers will also increase
until In a few years the soil will be
entirely worthless for growing pota

perative that seed treatment and seed
| selection be practiced in order to pre-
vent a recurrence of the troubles the
following year. Thn, together witt
the other precautions given. will pre-
vent the spread of these diseases ant

GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREES
Pennsylvania Expert Recommends
That All Litter Be Removed and
Earth Mound Be Erected.

The damage to trees, particularly
in young orchards, from gnawing by
rabbits and mice during the winter
time Is very great. Last winter in
particular there was an unusual abund-
ance of field mice. When the snow
thawed from meadows the burrows of
mice could be seen extending In all
directions. Many young trees planted
in sod or where manure or mulch
came closely around their bases were
completely girdled by these animals.
AS a precautionary measure, Profess
sor Paddock of Ohio college Of agri-
culture recommends that litter of all
kinds be removed from around the
trunks of young trees and that six
inch mound of earth thrown about
trunks of such trees is also good
plan. This protection OF earth also
safeguards to certain extent against
winter injury.
One does not want to go to the other
extreme, however and remove all COW
ering from off the young tree roots.
Experiment has shown that certain
amount of organic matter in or on the
soil will often protect the trees from
injury during hard winter.
Rabbits are always present and the
possibility of injuries should always
be guarded against. One of the ways
recommended for preventing the rab-
bits from gnawing the trees Is to pro-
tect them with some form of tree
protector. This may either be cylin.

In selecting a brood sow, form is
first to be considered. The body
should be finely built vigorous, long
with heavy quarters, fat back, short

should not be too short. She should
be a vigorous feeder, with great ca
pacity, because an Indifferent feeder
will starve her pigs. A SOW whose lit

TO PROTECT
INDIANS STOCK
Order Issued to Prevent De
wey County from Selling
for Taxation.

Judge j. d. Elliott of the
United States district court has
just issued an order restraining
the county of Dewey from seiz
ing |. d. stock and it's increase
for taxation. The stock is the
property of the Indians of that
country, and is claimed by the
government to be exempt from
taxation. This order has just
been served on the county treas
urer and sheriff of Dewey county
by Williams Healey, deputy Uni
ted States marshal for this
district.
This ruling will affect other
counties in the state as we'll as
Dewey county, and the issue of
the case will be heard before
Judge Elliott at Sioux Falls some
| Ulluo neAU lnOnUl.
All stock given to the Indians
by the United States government
is called I. d. stock, because of
the brand which is placed on
the animals before it is turned
over to the Indians. The gov
ernment has held dhat I. ID. stock
or the increase from [. D. stock
is not taxable by the counties
but in spite of this ruling some
stock has been seized for taxa
ton, the case of Dewey county
being one.
The officials of Dewey county
contended that the increase
from [. ID. stock is taxable unless
it is branded. The matter has
been the cause of much irrita
tlon in the county in which In
dians live, as the Indians hav,
refused to pay taxes on the pro
perty, while the county has takel
steps to make seizure for taxa
tion.
This was the case in Dewey
, county and the action upon whicI
