Dakota's Fire Loss Small.


The fire marshal bulletin, lately is
sued, shows that the fire loss in South
Dakota for the first three months of
1916 was over so per cent less than
for the same comparative months of
1915. The loss for last year was $297,-
$3.50, and for this year $136,561.O1, a
reduction of s16O,9s4.59. The activity
of the state fire marshal's department
in it's demands for the cleaning up of
waste deposits about buildings, and the
removal of old firetrap buildings is be-
ginning to show it's effect, and the
department will continue its cam.
paign along the same lines to attempt
to further reduce the loss for the
next year.

Where one has never made the ex.
pertinent Of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is q pleasant way
out Of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:

ness. weak stomach and loss Of ap.

sorted to numerous methods for re.

coffee to tea, 1t was all to no purpose.
"We knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as If BY
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
bic relieved. appetite improved and,
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration,

Treatment for Flax Diseases.

The following is a remedy for flax
diseases given by Manley Champlin of
the Agronomy department of the State
college at Brookings: Flax is affect
ed by two diseases, wilt and canker.
These diseases can be avoided by SOW
ing clean seed in clean soil. The flax
seed should be thoroughly cleaned to
remove light, shriveled flax seed and
weed seed. 1t should then be treated
by spraying with fine vapor spray
with solution made of one pint Of
formalin to forty gallons of water. AS
the seed is sprayed, it should be SHOW.
eled over to permit each seed to be
disinfected. On account of these dis
eases, land that has been sown to fax
seed without treatment becomes in.
fected and for that reason is not suita-
BILE to grow fax on again for at least
six years. 1t is therefore advisable to
sow flax on new breaking or tame
grass sod of some kind. If no such land
is available, flax can be grown on clean
cultivated corn or potato ground, but
should not be sown on weedy ground,
as flax does not compete we'll with
weeds. On old land, either corn
ground or tame grass sod plowed the
year before, flax should be seeded in
April or early May. On spring plowed
tame grass or native grass sod, the
flax should be seeded as early as is
practicable after the breaking is COM
plete. 1t is thought to be best to break
during May and early June, if break.
ing is done in the spring. Two pecks
per acre drilled with drill having
furrow openers six inches apart is
thought to be the best rate Of seeding.
Care should be taken to seed uniform
ly to depth Of about one inch. Vir-
gin sod should be broken to a depth
of four or five inches, taking care to
lay the burrows over we'll. The break
er should be followed by packed and
the packed by harrow, the seeding
to be done as soon as possible after the
land is prepared. The same method
applied to tame grass, clover or alfalfa
sod, except that the blowing should be
from five to seven inches deep, de.
pending upon the condition of the soil.
Corn or potato ground should be dou.
BILE disced by tapping half and double

opments in Mexico show what a formidable force Villa commands. and
W G can well believe that Carranza has had extreme difficulty trying to
put him down. Our W expedition has demonstrated how elusive the
bandit chief is and how difficult it is to get within range of hrs men.
Present activities OF Villa, too, prove that the bandit is not fighting
with Carranza, as has been represented in certain quarters. but that he
is engaging the Caranza forces every chance he gets.
President Wilson will make a big stride in the direction of a per-
manent understanding with Mexico if he a ct the friendly cooperation
of the Carranza government in a final effort to restore order in North
