Lemons plentifully and judiciously
used will prevent malaria, and Y
typhoid, 1t is said, may be warded of
by the timely use Of lemons. Not only
Is the juice beneficial, but the rind as
well.
In England every foreign-going ship
Is required by law to include In its
supplies a sufficient number Of lemons
SO that every seaman may have in his
daily diet on allowance Of one ounce Of
lemon Juice after having been ten
days at sen, this to prevent the scurvy
so prevalent among sailors.

SOUTH DAKOTA Is OVERLOOK.
ING A BIG MEANS OF FOOD
PRODUCTION.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
state Institutions and from
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine state.

South Dakota is overlooking Il big
means Of food production IN not SIS
tematically developing the FISH and
vegetable growth of her numerous
streams and lakes. This is true OF
every other state in the northwest.
In the forthcoming report OF the
South Dakota Academy Of Science.
which is being issued by the Univer-
sity of South Dakota, Prof. Ralph J..
Gilmore Of Huron says:
Our acres Of water should produce
as definite and constant u food crop
as our acres of land, and thus is the
dream Of many practical biologists OF
today.
1--WE look at the land and their fine
fort Of man. but when we look at the
streams ponds. lakes and swamps,
we find them barren wastes, Dr. pro-
ducers Of very few things used by
modern man. Land growths have
been selected, nurtured, and I'M
proved by man. but the things of the
water have been neglected, or if OF
any value at all, have been exploited
to the verge Of determination.
Fish and clans furnish primitive
man much Of his meat, edible roots
and wild grains his plant food, the
furs Of aquatic mammals a part Of his
clothing, but as he found out that he
could plant a garden. he abandoned
the supply of water grown food. The
fertility Of the water and the waters
edge never fails, the conditions for
growth are ideal, and had he endeav.
ored by like mean to supplement his
stores Of water products. we might
have a system OF water culture rival
ing agriculture"
Prof. Gilmore mentions many water
products which might be developed
by selection and breeding. Wild rice
grows in abundance along northern
rivers and ponds, but no attempt has
been made to improve this excellent
food grain. Wild lotus furnishes nut.
like seed and feshy stocks. The tn.
bers of arrowhead, the heavy. starchy
rhizone OF the spatterdock, the tender
shoots of the c~attail. the tubers OF
riverweed, and many others are eaten
by the muskrat, but have been dis
carded by man.
OF the wild animals, only a few are
of commercial importance. Fresh wa
ter clans, once an important item
OF the Indians diet, the white mar
discards except to use the clam shell
for making buttons. The crawfish
once regarded as a delicacy by the
Indians, finds no market except among
the f%oreign-born element in the cities
and no effort has been made to in,
crease its size. Frogs and turtles fur
nish a highly desirable type Of food.
but no effort has been made t devel.
ope this source of supply. The water
fowl, once SO numerous, instead OF
being adapter to mans needs. have
been w~antonly slaughtered like the
buffalo.

TALKS ON CHINA.
Missionary COrrects Many Wrong I'm
pressiOns Regarding Chinese Char
acter.

That Christian America would save
herself from the destructive and de-
moralizing influence of wealth and
continued prosperity by her work in
saving a Christless China was the
opinion expressed Sunday evening by
Mark Freeman, a foreign missionary
to China, who spoke in the Methodist
church Sunday evening.
Mr.. Freeman told in vivid language
the effect that Christianity was hav-
ing on the Chinese empire and de-
scribed the lamentable conditions that
exist where Christianity is unknown.
The great bulk of the Chinese worship
their ancestors, according to Mr.. Free
man and practice a religion without
morality. when the Chinese swear"
he said, they use the name of some
others grandfather as the most sacred
name in the world, instead of the name
of the Diety as is often the case in
America"
When the Chinese become convert
ed and Christianized they possess

cans. l found that l was taxed to the
limit to preserve the strength of char
acter that some of my best converts
possessed. They take to Christianity
enthusiastically and are Jealous mis-
sionaries in the new religion.
christianity is liberating the wo-
men of China and l firmly believe that
it is their only salvation. If the peo-
pie of this nation could know Christ
less China as l know it they would
deny the effect of Christianity
on our nation"
Mr.. Freeman spoke at both morning
and evening services in the Methodist
church Sunday and was greeted by a
fair sized audience on both occasions.
His talk here concluded a nine weeks
tour through the states of the north

THE STORY OF 100 PIGS.

On my farm in Nebraska l once
made 100 pigs average 23S pounds in
eight months. These pigs were far
rowed in April, from registered Po-
land-China sows. Before narrowing
time the sows were fed a ration Of
corn and oats, half and half by mea-
sure, and they had tankage, salt and
alfalfa before them at all times.
AS soon as the pigs were large
enough to eat by themselves, l made a
separate feed pen for them and gave
them soaked shelled corn and a slop
made of ground oats, corn and wheat.
Sows and pigs together had the run
of a twenty-acre clover pasture; and
when the pigs were weaned the latter
part of June they hardly knew it.
From that time until August first l
fed them all the shelled corn and oats
they would clean up in half an hours
time.
August third the pigs were turned
into seven acres of oats and wheat
that had been sown purposely for
them. They made gerat growth in
this field. When the corn began to
dent l turned them into an eighteen
acre field of corn; ape had been sown
in the corr at the last cultivation. At
this time l also let them have the run
Of a six-acre alfalfa field.
November eighth these pigs were
shut into the fattening yard and given
all the a corr they would eat. l
also kept before them salt, oil meal,
tankage and a rack of alfalfa hay,
which they seemed to like.
You will see that l let these pigs
do most of the harvesting of their
feed. BY so doing l kept down the
labor cost to a minimum.
The hogs were shipped to Sioux City
on December fourth. They averaged
2SS pounds each, topping the market
for the day and bringing me $26S4.SO.
Though l kept no accurate account of
all feeds consumed, l know the hogs
returned a nice proit.-Arthur Jeffrey,
in Country Gentleman.

TO the period when the hair roots are
developed. and in order TO meet theis
emergency the farmer must prepare
his seed bed accordingly.
The most important operation to-
wards this end is the proper packing
Of the seed row. The philosophy Of
II is thls-the more dense the soil the
greater the capillary attraction for free
water. In the same manner that a
brick viii steal water from a sponge
so the dense or more solid soil will
take from the %looser; therefore on &C
count OF the packing, the water is
drawn as II by a magnet from the
looser soil TO the seed rows.
This Is also a good argument for not
over packing the whole surface of the
seed bed. for II this is done the seed
rows have no special advantage over
the rest OF the field. For the above
reasons crops that are b~roadcasted
and narrowed In are much more likely
to dry out in the sprout. between
showers. than those which are put in
with a press drill.
II is possible also to overpack the
rows, particularly those Of alfalfa In
a heavy wet seed bed. Il is best to
plant these fine seeds always at the
wettest season OF the year, which is
usually in the early spring, and use
chain drags for packing purposes.
Many a stand OF alfalfa and clover
has been lost through a crust forming
in the seed row on account OF too
much packing. especially on clay land
On account OF the difficulty in proper
~ terminating the seeds OF such crops
as winter wheat. fall rye, etc, in the
ordinary dry weather OF October and
November. we always recommend the
early planting Of fall crops, in order
that the seed may be thoroughly soak
ed up by the late rains which so often
come about the end OF August and be-
ginning OF September.
DO Not Plant Shallow.
They should also be drilled in about
three inches deep. for II planted shall
low there is always the danger OF
sprouting after a light shower and then
drying out before the arrival OF more
rain to keep them going; but when
planted deeply there is little danger
OF this, for when the precipitation is
sufficient TO go into the soil three
inches deep and terminate the seed.
there will be enough also to establish
the plant.
There are some seeds such as corn
which often do not terminate salts
factorily even when the soil conditions
are right. All large, starchy seeds alb
sorb microscopic moisture in damp
weather. especially the germ which
sometimes contains as high as 20 per
cent OF water, although the seeds them
selves appear perfectly dry. 1t is this
moisture which ruptures the cells and
destroys the germ when the tempera-
ture falls to near zero. Ordinary freez-
ing seldom Injuries a seed, for the rea-
son that the viscid matter in the germ

is coming to the Auditorium. April
10. 1t tells in pictures the story OF
one of the most popular of late day
novels and besides introduces a new
feature which is something novel in

The new production introduces a
really revolutionary thing in the mo-
zion picture field in the subtitles re-
cording the words spoken by the
characters during the action of the
scenes. In studio parlance, these are
called speaking titles" As the char
acter gives utterance t6 his part of a
dialogue, the words which his lips
form suddenly fade into quote
another phrase of the picture makers
and after a proper length of time
softly fade out of the scene.
This has never been done before
and it goes down to the credit of the
Clune company as a positive innova-
ton. The originator Of this improve
ment is Lloyd Brown. supervisor of
productions for Clune, who also was
responsible for the beautiful titles in

that their use will be universal be-
cause of their obvious superiority to
