The question of Internal Inn
provements for South Dakota will
be one of the ''burning issues" be-
fore our Legislature when it meets
in January, now that the constitu-
tional amendment relating to Good
Roads has been adopted. 1t is a
most fortunate circumstance that
the voters also approved the cause
relating to the State engaging in
Coal Mining.
The next Great Issue undoubt-
eddy will be the Conservation of
our Water Resources, both surface
and ~arlesian. Mr.. Doane Robin
son of Pierre, an excellent author
ity on.the subject, has the follow
ing to say in reference to it, in a
late issue Of the Pierre Capital
journal:
In an interview this morning,
Doane Robinson declared his belief
that the time has come when South
Dakota should prepare to conserve
and develop its water powers in the
interest Of the people. 80 do 50
would require another constitution
al amend ment.' said Mr. Robinson

What is the matter with Potter
County lovers of nature? For the
past two years there has not been
a single bounty allowed by our
County Commissioners for tree
growing. This is conspicuous,
when we see in the Dewey county
papers a list of eighteen persons
allowed a bounty OF So per acre
ON tracts of from one to five acres.
One of those receiving the bounty
is Mr.. l.. L.. Poitras, an Indian of
TimLer Lake, who was formerly
an employee at the Agency Board
ing School, 1t appears that the
bounty allowed by the law is So
per acre, on not to exceed five
acres. The following clipping
from the Kansas City Star shows
that our farmers are neglecting
an important source of revenue,
and with the liberal bounty that
the State offers, are neglecting an
important method of reducing or
combating the High Cost of Lily
ing
Durham, n. H.--Prof. Karl w.
Woodward of the department Of
forestry of the New Hampshire
College explains that weight for
weight wood has the same fuel
value that coal has. and means
fuel at much less cost. Professor
Woodward has some interesting
figures on the subject.
Approximately, one cord of dry
hickory wood is the equivalent to
n ton of coal. A cord of such
wood cut, ready for use, can he
had at from 81 to So a cord. The
next best wood is red oak, which
sells for about Sc a cord and a
cord of which is the equivalent of
three-fourths of a ton of coal.
Beech, birch and maple at from
SIS to SIS a cord are next i'm value,
and r the equivalents of from
t%wo-thirds to three-fourths of a ton
of coal.
Gray birch is equivalent to two
thirds of a ton of coal and costs
from 81 to SIS a cord. A mixture
of all these usually sold under the
term Hardwood, is worth S. a
cord and is the equivalent of two
thirds of a ton of coal. Pine is
the equivalent of only two. fifths of
a ton but costs only So to SIS a cord.

The new federal rural credit
system is about to be civen prac-
tical trial. Twelve regional land
banks will be ready to lend money
to farmers soon. What should be
the attitude of So. Dakota farmers
toward the new system?
The great majority Of those who
have studied the new plan care
fully and without prejudice agree
that its main features are sound.
1t is possible that defects in detail
may prevent it's successful operat-
ion at first, says E. Dana Duraud of
the Minnesota College of agricul-
ture, but defects can be corrected
as soon as experience shows what
they are. 1t is not for farmers or
friends of farmers to stand aside
and criticise the new system before
it goes into operation. The thing
to do is to try it. out.
Two classes of banks, federal
land banks and Joint stock land
banks r provided for by the law.
If the former succeed it is not like
~ that the latter will do much.
Bankers or Capitalists have no con
troll over the federal land banks.
AS soon as the farmers borrow
enough money from these banks,
they will become. thru their local
associations, the sole stockholders
Of the banks. 1t is essentially a
cooperative scheme.
Ii the farmers want the scheme
70 succeed, they must take part in
it and the sooner the better. The
banks cannot work at all unless
the farmers form local associations
and apply for loans. The land
banks cannot sell any bonds unit
they have taken mortgages from
farmers, since the bonds must be
secured by mortgages.
The first loans to farmers, OF
course, will be made from the pro
ceeds of the capital stock subscrib
ed by the fe.leral government.
1t is understood that the federal
farm loan board intends to lend
this money at 5 per cent. and those
first applying for loans are, there.
fore, sure to get them at this rate,
which is lower than most farm.
ers ia the west are now paying.
After the bonds based on these
first mortgages have been sold, the
rate of interest on future loan.
will depend on the rate at which
the bonds are sold. It may be
higher than 5 per cent or even
lower. II it should prove to be
higher. the first borrowers will
have gained by their promptness.
II it proves to believer, they will
not lose anything, because the law
permits them to pay up their loans
and make new ones at the best
available rate. Farmers therefore
who want to borrow money, or Il
reduce their present rates Of in

INCUBATOR HINTS.

See that the incubator is running
steadily at the desired temperature be-
fore filling with eggs. Do not add
fresh eggs to a tray containing eggs
which are undergoing incubation.
Turn the eggs twice daily after the
second until the nineteenth day. Cool
the eggs once daily, according to the
weather, from the seventh to the nine
teenth day.
Turn the eggs before caring for the
lamps.
Attend to the machine regularly at
regular hours.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh and
fourteenth days.
Do not open the machine after the
eighteenth day until the chickens are
hatched.-American Agriculturist.
Mineral Hog Tonic.
The hogs will make better and more
economical gains for the feed consum-
ed If they are supplied with a mineral
tonic, and the roofing habit will be
reduced where they have access to the
tonic, says the Farm and Fireside. The
mixture should contain: Air slaked
lime, two pounds; common salt, two
pounds; epson salts, one pound; cop
peras, two pounds; slaked coal. 100
pounds. The copperas should be dis
solved in boiling water before mixing,
and all the constituents except the cop
peras should be mixed at one time.
Then sprinkle the copperas solution
over the mixture to insure equal Gistri-
button of the copperas. The effect OF
the copperas in the mixture keeps the
worms from infetcing the swine that
have this mixture constantly before

Handling Feeding Lambs.

Those who purchase and ship lambs
to their farms for fall and winter feed
ing not infrequently suffer heavy loss
after shipment, loss that is at least
partially due to sudden change Of feed.
1t is we'll to allow the lambs plenty Of
pasture when they arrive. II they are
to be turned into a cOrnfeld they
should have their appetites we'll curbed
before turning them into the field each
day at the start. 1t would be we'll to
have grass pasture available and also
have alfalfa in racks. A little alfalfa
hay where western lambs can have ac-
cess to it at all times is a splendid and
economical means Of starting them on
their winter feed.

FOR USE OF ALASKA
 ROAD COMMISSION

The Alaska road commission of ficers at valdez have received a cCpy of the presidential order with drawin- tract of land one mile on each side of the Valdez-Fair- banks trail, and extending from Mile Post No. 8 out from valdez to Mile Post No. 12. The executive or der creates the tract as a timber reserve for the use of the Alaska road commission, and as it is now in full force and effect the people of Valdez are warned that those cutting timber within the boundaries of the tract are liable to prOsecu- tion. The timber land was with drawn in order to ensure a sup ply of timber for the road commis- sion in future years and to pre- vent the cutting of timber near the road as it affords a protection to the highway from the streams.
