Attempt to Destroy Corn.

Bancroft.-A common beer bottle,
filled with dirty black fluid, lying in
an inconspicuous manner deep in the
corn in local elevator, is the first
direct evidence of the now famous
arson hell gangs activities in this ter
ritory. The bottle was discovered
when George Judge. of Mitchell, was
inspecting the corn preparatory to
its purchase. His foot came in con-
tact with something solid while wad-
ing through the corn. When pitched
into the street and broken with
rifle bullet the flame that shot up
gave evidence OF being able to start
a fine fire. Tests proved that the
contents was high grade phosphorus.
Guards have been placed in and

Aberdeen.-W. w. Wallace, United
States commissioner at Aberdeen,
9. D., has obtained dispositions from
Chicago bankers to be employed in the
civil suit against Charles B. Collins,
former state treasurer of South Da-
kota. Collins, who held office from
1902 to 1906, is alleged to have with
held $4,000, representing the inter-
est on state funds deposited in Chi
cago banks. He now lives in San
Francisco.
For many years state treasurers Of
South Dakota appropriated for them
selves the interest collected on state
funds, but the practice was stopped
when law was passed that all such
interest collections should revert to
the account of the state.

Find Carbide in Coal.

Sioux Falls.-Workmcn in a lumber
yard here found small can of calcium
carbide in the company's yards. The
workmen lost no time in disposing of
the carbide by dumping it in the river,
as they were we'll aware of it's ex-
plosive qualities. This discovery may
solve the mystery of the numerous
fires in the coal cards and bins this
year, as carbide is highly infammable
and easily ignited by friction. The
carbide may have been placed in the
car by mistake at the mines, for the
miners use carbide for furnishing
light.

Cotton Seed Meal Mi.xbeIed.

Much so-called cotton seed meal
has been shipped into northern states
during the past two years, which has
not contained the amount Of protein
and fat claimed on the labels, accord.
ing to Commissioner Frary, of the
state food department. The large crop
of soft corn this year will, no doubt,
require the use of large amounts of
concentrated feed for cattle in the
feed lots and feeders and farmers
should be very careful in the selection
of cotton seed feeds. In recent years
the cotton oil millers of the south
have been adding more and more of
the hulls of the seed to the oil cake
meal, thereby reducing the feeding
value of the product. High grade cot
ton seed meal should contain 40 to AZ
per cent Of protein and to 8 per cent
of fat. Much Of the meal now mark
eted contains less than IS per cent
protein. and, because of the added
hulls, the amount Of crude fiber is
largely increased. The South Dakota
law requires all bags of cotton seed
feed to be plainly labeled to show the
composition, and buyers should close
ly watch the analysis as claimed by
the label. Usually the difference in
feeding value between the pure cot
ton seed meal and the meal contain
ing ground hulls more than equalizes
the difference in price. so that the
cheapest feed is obtained by purchas.
ing the pure, high-protein meal.

Less Losses From Cholera.

There was less loss from hog chol-
era this year in South Dakota than
any other year since 1912, and 10000
fewer hogs died than in 1916, accord
ing to DR.. G. s. Weaver, United States
inspector at State college. He states
further that a million less hogs died
in the whole country this year than
in 1916. The reasons for this improv-
ed condition are given as follows by
DR.. Weaver: "Hog raisers are now
aware of the fact that it pays to give
hogs good care. High prices are a
stimulant to give sick hogs the best of
attention. Organized efforts have been
carried out by federal and state au-
thorities for the control of this d.
sease. The farmer that does not have
faith in vaccination is the exception.
Owners of infected herds have impos-
ed upon themselves a voluntary quar-
antine knowing that it is their duty to
protect the neighbors if possible.
