1T PAYS TO STACK GRAIN.

1t is very doubtful whether shock
threshing pays as well as stacking when
the advantages of the latter are consid-
cred. Stacking gives greater protection,
and this usually results in better color
and better quality of grain. Stacked
grain can be thresbed economically and
delayed until it is convenient to have it
done without material injury to the
crop.
One of the things emphasized by u.
s. Farmers Bulletin 67S is the economy
of stacking wheat instead OF threshing
from the shock, although the latter prac-
tice is more common in the spring heat
belt at the present time, owing to the
belief that it increases the net profit by
reducing the cost of production. The
following directions are given for build.
ing a stack to properly stand and shed
moisture:
First, build large, round shock or
stock, about eight feet in diameter; then
place two layers of bundles, one directly
on top of the other, with heads resting
against the shock, and the butts forming
the l0-foot circular base. The next row
is laid with the butts extending just past
the bands of the outer row, like shingle,
and so on, overlapping the rows little
more as the center is approached; then
begin again at the outside.
Shocked bundles have slanting butt.
Lay the successive outer layers with the
long edge of the butt on top and pro.
jecting beyond the layer beneath. In.
crease the diameter in this way until a
height of or feet is reached. This
forms the bulge.
Always keep the middle high and firm
| ly tramped. Do not tramp the outer
layer at all. If possible, have loads
pitched from different sides Of the stack
| to obtain more even tramping.
From the bulge the stack should taper
slowly to q point. This is done by lay
| ing the bundles now with the short side
of the slanting butt uppermost, gradual
! ly decreasing the diameter.
| Keep the middle high and we'll tramp.
ed--so high that the beginner will fear
that the outer layers will slide off Some.
times they will, but that is better than
having rain water soak In.
At the peak, which should be 20 to "a
| feet from the ground, the bundles will
overlap, and the cap sheaf should be
securely fastened by driving 6.foo,
stake into the top of the stack. Stacks
well built should shed water perfectly

MANY REGISTER ON HARVEY.

A suggestion of the number of visitors
who have toured the Black Hills this
season may be gained from the fact that
900 have registered at the government
lookout station on the summit of Har-
ney's Peak. AS only very small pro-
portion of the visitors to the Hills make
the ascent to the highest point in the
Hills it is evident that many thousand
visitors have been touring the Hills this
season. At Sylvan Lake Hotel there
have been from twenty-five to eighty
registrations daily during the summer.
Large numbers who have toured the
Hills did not visit Sylvan Lake at all
missing one of the most charming spots
of the Hills-and those in position to
form an estimate declare that between
four and five thousand visitors have en-
ioyed the Hills during the season. All
have been so evidently pleased that
they will not only come again but are
certain to urge many friends to make
the trip next season. Thus the tourist
business of the Black Hills is certain to
increase each succeeding year.-Lead

SELECT NEXT YEARS SEED
POTATOES WHEN DIQt

1t is an opportune time to think about
putting away well selected seed potatoes
for next season. 1t is an excellent prac-
tice to dig good many hills separately
with hand fork and to select seed from
only the best yielding hills. Such a
practice will lead to the improvement
of the potato strains and will largely
prevent the running out" OF varieties.
Whatever attention is given to hill
selection of seed potatoes must obvious
ly be given at the time Of digging II
this selection is not resorted to, it will
be found to be profitable at least to put
aside a sufficient quantity Of the best
typed, sizabe tubers for seed. The
selection of such tubers, even from the
bulk seed, will insure harvest of bet.
ter yield and type than if culls are
planted.-A. n. Hume, Agronomist,

YES We NEED 1T
More Road Money for Black Hills. The
Federal Government Offering
Every Encouragement.

The Secretary of Agriculture has just
announced the plans for spending the
money appropriated by the Federal Aid
Road Act. This act provides for the
expenditure of one million dollars an
nually for the next ten years in the con.
struction and maintenance OF roads and
trails either wholly or partly within the
National Forests of the several states.
The amount allotted to South Dakota
for the current fiscal year, which ends
June Both, 1917, is $8,ll5.00. In order
that the various allotments may be
judiciously expended the law requires
that the proper State or County officials
shall make application to have the funds
expended on certain particular projects
or roads The county officials must file
their application for this years amount
with the District Forester on or before
October lst, 1916. The application for
the apportionment for the next fiscal
year must be made by January lst, 1917
The law further requires that the
State or County shall furnish labor, ma.
terial or money to the extent of at least
fifty per cent. of the total cost of survey
and construction. However, should it
appear that this division of expense is
not equitable, the amount of co-opera-
tion required of the County or State may
be increased or diminished.
In view of the fact that most of the
Forest Reservations are mountainous
and in need of exceptionally good roads
this additional Federal Aid will be
greatly appreciated. The civic organi-
cations Of the various towns through
out the Hills should concentrate their
efforts to see that the various amounts
apportioned to our district are as large
as possible and that every cent is wisely
spent. The real benefit derived from
our good roads is not in the ease with
which we can get from point to point or
the great size of the load we can haul
but in the enhanced value Of the ranch
es and other property located on or near
these improved roads. Common sense
as well as the history of road building
in other localities tells US that the better
the roads are, the greater the property
values.
While on this topic it would be well
for all of us to remember that at the
special session Of our State Legislature
last spring resolution was passed call.
ing for vote on an amendment to our
State Constitution which effects the good
roads proposition. Unless this amend
ment is passed South Dakota will not be
able to avail herself of the annual fed
eral appropriation for the roads of the
various states. The amount the whole
state will receive next year under this
law will be more than eighty thousand
dollars, and the state must cooperate to
an equal amount.
While the amounts available for ex-
penditure in this immediate vicinity
may seem small and inadequate yet it
remains for us to keep just little ahead
of the times all the time so that the i'm
preston may not go out that we do not
want federal or other aid. Let us make
it point, when Uncle Sam opens the
door, to be up against the jam with o
siZable bask ct in our mitt

DEATH OF M. IT. scHooNMAKER.


Martin T. Schoonmaker, a pioneer OF
this section of the Black Hills, died last
Sunday at his home near Newcastle,
Wyoming. His death was result of a
runaway accident. While driving on
the streets Of Newcastle his team be-
came frightened and threw him out of
the buggy onto cement sidewalk. Sew
ersl ribs were broken and he secured a
conclusion of the brain.
In the early days Mr.. Schoonmaker
drove the stage between Custer and
Deadwood. He was at various times
engaged in ranching and was located
near Cascade, Buffalo Gap, Keystone
and Custer. From 1880 to 1910 he lived
in or near these places. During the
year 1910 he removed from Custer to
Newcastle, Wyoming, where he resided
until his death.
Mr.. Schoonmaker was born July 26,
1880, in Ulster county, New York. He
married Dinah M. Freer, who died and
was buried at Custer, s. D., January
7th, 1884. Four children we're born to
them, two of whom died in infancy.
The two children surviving him are
Mrs. E. Ii. Flynn, of Seattle, Washing
ton, and Walter Schoonmaker, of Cam
bria, Wyoming. He is also survived
by sister, Mrs. Maria L. Haines, of
Ellenville, N. Y.
The remains were brought to Custer
on Wednesday OF this week and inferred
in the Custer cemetery. Rev. Davis
officiated at the service.

Without this Academy scores OF boys

kept up by the Missionary society and
the contributions of friends. You can
