The free text book bills, which
have been under consideration DUR
ing the entire session of the legis-
lature were all put to sleep Mon
day, and the old law will remain in
force.
The house on NJ onday, passed the
senate sheriff bill as an emergency
measure. This law will abolish
the probation commissioners, and
provides a general state enforce
ment officer, who will have three
assistants. This officer is at the
head of the state constabulary,
which consists of all the sheriffs
and deputies in the state, and they
may be called to any part Of the
state for use in enforcing law and
order.
The senate has also passed the
general appropriation bill which
carries $5, 100000.
The heuse refused to adopt the
committee report on apportion-
ment reducing the number of Nom.
bers of the house to 81, and sent
the bill back with instructions to
make the apportionment the same
as heretofore. Had the, instruc
tions been to make a still deeper
slash they would have been more
in keeping with wise statesman
ship.
The bill creating q state market
commission has passed. This is
one of the measures urged by the
farmers. Another measure pro
posed by the farmers is one author
izing the state to operate Touring
mills and packing plants. This
would require an amendment to
the constitution, and resolution
submitting such an amendment
to vote of the people has been
passed.

We are constantly on the look

his trips vecently, the writer ran
across a man who had q most un.
usual system of scalding hogs. He
did itso simply and quickly that il
was evident that it was a thorough
ly practicable system. The hog
was killed with a small-bore rife,
shooting in the center of the fore
head. This avoids excitement and
the hogs are not exhausted or
heated up. The animal was turn.
ed on its back and stuck directly
in front of the breast bone, care
being taken not to injure the shoul-
der. The hog was removed to an
open place, free from litter and
straw, and where there was moth
ing to catch on fire. Now comes
the interesting part of the perform.

line was poured over the carcass
and a lightel. match touched to it.

part touching the ground. Later
the head and parts of the feet we're
given q little more gasoline after
the first application, then the hog
was turned over and the small por.

touch Of the match the carcass
burst into flames and burned for
about two minutes. At the end of
that time there was no hair left.
Upon scraping with knives and
scrapers as with the scaling meth

with the result.

A. N. Hume, agronomist at the
State College, advises farmers to
buy their seed patatoes now, as 1t
is an open question whether South
Dakota possesses enough tubers for
seed. With all due respect to Mr..
Hume's Judgment, we submit that
it's q mighty poor time to handle
seed potatoes with the temperature
below zero. Besides farmers who
have their potatoes stored for the
winter are not going to handle
them at this season of the year.

A law prohibiting the shooting
of prairie chickens and quail is of
little use as long as it fails
to prohibit the storms from killing
them in winter. More of the
birds have been killed by storms
this winter than all the hunters
together have killed during the
hunting season.

RECOGNIZED BRAND AT ONCE
How Mrs. Schofieid Knew That Dauah-
ter's Husband Had Not Hitherto
Been Carefree Bachelor.

Here is some inside dope on how to
tell married man. The system is
made known by Mrs. Anna Schofield,
who has just helped her daughter Sc
cure an annulment Of her marriage as
wife No. 2. Ma Schofield says mar
riage brands man as plain as a hot
iron on cows hip. When her eagle
eye fell upon her new son-in-law she
declares that she saw Immediately
where the harness had rubbed. And
then she gave the formula :. like all
average married men, my son-in-law
was an artistic flatterer In way about
things wives like to be lied to about. He
could praise coffee that everybody
knew was vile in such q way that 1t
tasted good. Like his brother bene-
diets, he knew how to praise his wife's
taste, whether good or bad. If mar
ried man says something about another
woman he does not neglect to say
something a little nicer about his wife.
That was my son-in-law. Take tears
for instance. Tears break q newly and
never-before-married mans heart. He
gets all excited about them. But they
rolled of that mans feelings like wa
ter of duck. kept quiet about my
suspicious until one day he and daugh-
ter were quarreling. He fought like a
married man. He knew when to talk
and when to shut up. After that de-
termined to investigate his career."-

the efforts to combat the spinach
aphis which seriously attacked the
truck crops of Virginia year after
year. This has been accomplished By
the Introduction Of the spotted lady
bird, which IL said to have proved
very effective In keeping down the
aphis. The FIRST efforts In this direc.
ton were unsuccessful. owing to the
fact that there has been extensive re.
moval Of trees and underbrush, and
this left no accommodation for the
Information Of the lady birds, which
persisted during the winter. This has

POstOffce Hints

When you hear the train whis-
tie rush to the postoffice, storm
around there half an hour when
you notice the carrier just deli
vers the mail.
When you call at the postoffice
for your mail and the postmaster
hands it out, ask him if that is
all.
If you are a little short" ask
your postmaster for a small loan
he's always. flush" and after two
months if he wants it let him
dun you for it.
If you ask for mail and he tells
you there is none, tell him there
ought to be, then go home and
send the rest of the family a.
round at different times thruout
CIlc Udy.
Don't bring your mail to the
postoffice until the mail closes
then abuse the postmaster for
not opening the mail bag and put
ting your letter in.
When you want a stamp on
your letter, tell the postmaster
to put it on; if he don't do it go
for him. In case you put it on
yourself, soak it in your mouth
long enough to remove the muci-
lage; it will then stick until dry.
