It is now long tlmo since portions

question is more alive toay than at

The Poles arc Of n livelicr race than

always retain their dream OF recon-

II Is hard to conceive that Poland was

troubles that so often lead to serious

of kidney weakness. Why risk your

Sailing CORN
INSTANCES OF Sailing WET
CORN HAS BEEN TRIED AND
PROVED A SUCCESS.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 5.-Louis Caille
has received a paper from his old
home town, Galena, ILL.,. which con
tains a story which should be of inn
portance to the farmers of many sec
tons of South Dakota who find them
selves with soft corn on their hands.
The story i'm the Galena newspaper
relates that expert corn growers of
Whiteside county, ILL.,, as the result
of experiments carried on during the
past two seasons. have found a sure
cure for soft corn.
They salt wet, soft corn and find
that this process hardens the corn
and saves IL. A few individual farm
ers near Sioux Falls have tried this
method with success, but farmers
generally of the corn growing section
of South Dakota, where there are an
aggregate of several million bushels
OF soft corn, could try 1t with profit
to themselves.
In the opinion OF experts corn may
reach a price OF 81 per bushel by
spring. and IL the several million
bushels OF soft corn ian be saved II
will bring a large return to the farm
ers of South Dakota.

FISH STORY
GAME WARDEN SAYS THEY
WE'RE DESPERATELY
HUNGRY.

Mitchell, Dec. 5.-Fish that were
so hungry that they jumped out OF
the water in their efforts to obtain
food and which, by continually pick
ing at their feathers, drove all of the
ducks off Lake Alice, are the back
ground of the stories brought here
by Game Warden III. s. Hedrick.
Mr.. Hedrick says that when he
first discovered" Lake Alice, the
fish there, with which the lake was
crowded, were entirely out of proper
ton, their bodies being of snake like
dimensions. The lake was cleaned
OF all growth, and the fish were
starving. He Immediately set men
to transferring the fish to other bod
les of water where they Immediately
improved as to health and size. The
men who worked with them. he in
fers, were several times attacked by
mad fish.
After four years of work. the fish
i'm the lake have returned to normal
size, and are now among the best in
the state. In these four years 81
carloads of fish have been transfer
red to other bodies of water.
