County School Notes.
BY supt. G. @. Fitss.

All rural school district clerks
will receive a circular letter accom-.
panying their pad Of clerks blanks
It is very encouraging indeed tc
note the number of rural schools
that are provided with sweeping
compound.
Our sympathy goes out to the chill
dren of that school which does not
provide any suitable drinking water
or water for washing the hands and
faces.
Metal ceiling is much more salts
factory than anything we know OF
except wood. Districts No. 80 and
SO have very attractive metal cell
ings.
A great many rural school boards
over the state are buying school pa
per In bulk. and thereby saving con.
siderable expense for each individ.
ual pupil.
We have received a large number
OF very satisfactory reports on Arbor
and. Bird Day programs held in var
ious schools. The one from Bon
Homme, District No. 81. is deserv
ing of special mention.
T. This is the month when the school
census should be taken. 1t should
include the names OF all persons be-
tween the ages of six and twenty-one
years residing within the county on
May LIST.
As result OF the superintendent
conference at Pierre last week South
Dakota history will doubtless be
placed in the sixth grade, while civ
les will find a place throughout the
seventh and eighth grades.
While at Pierre last week we look
ed at the leaden plate which was
discovered by school children Of Fort
Pierre and is now the property OF
the state museum. This plate was
i.uried on the bluffs overlooking
Fort Pierre March 80, 1743, by Yer
endrye brothers to witness Frances
claim to this territory.
Teachers should please remember
that we desire other work besides
drawing for our state fair exhibit
1t is true that exhibits in drawing
command the attention of passing
crowds more easily but we want
something for those who will stop
and study our school work more
: carefully. Specimens of hand writ.
ing or problems in arithmetic make
very fine display in school exhibit.
First impressions are the most
lasting" is a maxim that many
teachers and school children should
rtr. mter in connection with the
care and attention given to the storm
shed or ante room of the average
rural school. No matter how neat
and clean the school room may APP
pear, the average visitor! cannot help
but be influenced in his opinion OF
the school by the condi ton Of halls
and cloak rooms through which he
passes in gaining en- trance to the
school room proper.

of indigestion on your hands the Sec
ond day. Just at this time much at
tention should be given the COW by
way of grooming; not with a curry
comb, but with brush, and frequent
rubbing of the udder. This will prove
beneficial to the cow and profitable
to you. After the calf has taken nour-
ishment once, it should be removed,
preferably when the dam is not in the
stall or pen; for it is better that she
should not associate you with the loss
of her calf, that she may more readily
transfer her affection to you. By re-
moving the calf at once, it is soon for

BREEDERS MUST BE on GUARD
Several Cases of Infectious Abortion
in Swine Reported.

Cases have been reported from two
different breeders which suggest the
occasional appearance of infectious
abortion among swine in the North.
west. Evidently it is quite rare, but
may easily spread if it exists, as sus-
pected. One man reports the pur-
chase at a certain fair, from an Iowa
breeder, of fall yearling gilt Tie
SOW was bred. but lost her pigs after
about six weeks. She was bred again
and aborted again in similar period.
About six of this mans older and bet
ter brood sows developed the same
trouble. He believed that the older
sows were infected from the boar
that had previously served the young
Iowa SOW. The other breeder report
ed a somewhat similar experience.
This item is published with view to
putting breeders on their guard
against a possible source of trouble.

Because of it's cheapness the earth
road is, and for many years to come
will continue to be, the most common
form of road in use in rural communi-
ties. The ever recurring problem of
upkeep on such roads can, in a large
measure, be solved by the use Of the
so called split-log drag, which can be
constructed as shown in the accompa-
nying picture by any one who has
suitable material at hand. A log is
not necessary, or perhaps not desir-
able for it's construction. Choose four
pieces of plank of some strong wood,
such as elm or red fir, two inches
thick and eight feet long. Two of
them should be ten or twelve inches
in width, but the other two may be
narrower as shown in the picture,
since they are simply bolted to the
backs of the wider planks for rein
forcement. If planks three and half
or four inches thick can. conveniently
be- obtained single thickness of
them should be used, instead of build
ing up as shown in the cut. In any
case, the drag can be put together
with round poles wedged into auger
holes as shown, or the crosspieces
may be set in with mortise and tenOn
joints and kept tight by long bolts
reaching through the front and back
planks
A piece of iron about three and ONE
half feet long, three or four inches
wide, and one-fourth of an inch thick
should be used for blade. BY means
of bolts with fiat, counter-sunk heads
this blade should be attached to the
front plank in such manner that it's
edge will project half inch below the
plank at the ditch end, while the end
of the iron toward the middle of the
road should be flush with the edge of
the plank. If the face of the plank
stands plumb it will be well to wedge
out the bottom of the iron with a
wedged-shaped pieces of wood to give
the iron a set similar to that of q
plane bit.
A platform of inch boards cleated
together, with cracks an inch wide
between the boards to prevent dirt
from collecting on top, is placed on
the cross-pieces of the drag to furnish
a platform for the driver. This plat
form should rest upon the cross
pieces between the planks without be-
ing fastened to the drag. It is not
shown in the illustration. 49,. ... -,
Any chain having the strength of, a
trace chain may be used to draw the
drag and should be attached as shown
in the picture, but the, proper, position
for attaching the sdouble-trees must
be determined by experiment and will
vary. with the kind OF work done. The

an eyebolt, as shown in the picture,
to the ditch or blade end of the drag.
The other end of the chain should
finish with a grabhook for use in ad-
justing the length of the hitch after
the chain is passed around the cross
piece at the road end of the drag.
Commonly the drag should follow
the team at an angle of about forty
five degrees with their line of travel,
to cause the dirt to move steadily
and freely along the faces of the
planks from the ditch toward the cen
ter of the road. In every case the
angle at which the drag will travel
can be governed by the position of
the hitch, which is changed within
reasonable limits by frightening or
shortening the chain, and by the posi-
ton of the driver on the drag. A. very
little experience will enable anyone to
adjust these things. satisfactorily. 1t
should be remembered that a very
short hitch will tend to raise the drag
and cause It to cut less deeply, wnlYe
a longer one will have the opposite
effect. By shifting his weight the
driver can cause the drag to drop
part of it's load in a low place or hole,
or by stepping off can prevent it's re.
moving so much earth from a depres-
sion.
Usually two horses will be stuff.
cient to haul the drag, although when
a great deal of work is to be accom-
! plished four may be used by putting
on a four-horse evener.
If the work is we'll done while the
dirt is damp very. satisfactory results
can be obtained at low cost.
At a somewhat greater expense a
drag made entirely of metal can be
obtained from some of the manufac.
turers of road building machinery.

 The effect of a broken blockade will be to make Germany less desir- ous of injuring British trade on the seas and she will risk less to accomplish 1t. The danger of a break with the United States will have been permanently averted. The war will then have to be fought out on purely military lines. Star vation will no longer be factor in bringing about the defeat of the central powers.
 At this time we can only wait the outcome of the initial trip of the Deutschland. She is on her way home but it will be many days before she can answer the question: Is the blockade broken?
