SOUTH DAKOTA

An ingenious foreman on an Arizona
railroad recently conceived the idea OF
using the cactus plant as a cattle guard
ut railroad crossings. The first, which
was planted few months ago. has
proved an unqualified success. Not a
single animal has attempted to cross II.
AS a matter OF fact, both horses and
cattle are thoroughly familiar with the
species Of cactus used, and fight shy
of 1t as they would OF a rattlesnake. A
frame Of two-inch by six-inch timbers
was placed on edge and fitted between
the tracks. In the bottom Of this
structure are few inches of sand and
gravel in which the cactus plants were
placed. The cactus is not very long
lived, but as it grows in abundance
along the railroad it can be renewed
If necessary. AS the thorns will pierce
an ordinary boot or shoe. 1t was neces-
sary to place a piece of timber along
the bottom bar of the fence to allow
employees to cross. This is by far the
cheapest form of cattle guard in use
on any railroad,

Australia's immense wheat crop is
being raided by an army of mice, and
grain stacked for shipment can be
saved only by heroic measures. One Of
i.2ese measures is poison gas; another
is the mouse proof fence built about
the stacks of grain. The fences are of
galvanized iron. with openings every
sixteen feet. In each opening is sunk
tin of water and kerosene and water.
Mice cannot enter the fortification and
those within cannot escape alive. When
the latter become thirsty they make for
the tins. and almost at once fall in. 1t

The United States is the land Of
cotton" Nowhere else in the world is
cotton grown in such abundance, and
put to such variety of uses. The fiber
is made into cloth; the oil from the
seeds is used as a cheap substitute for
olive oil and as a basis for lard, and
now the seeds themselves are being
ground into flour and used for food
purposes. Gingersnaps and jumbles
are made from it, and it is mixed with
finely chopped meat and tied in sausage
links. To make the cottonseed sausage,
three pounds of sausage meat is mixed
with one pound of cottonseed flour.
This -four is said to contain as much
nutrition as the meat which it takes the
place of, and to effect saving Of s
cents a pound on the sausage.

MUST MAKE CLAIMS
STRONG IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 14.-The work
OF sending out missionaries rapidly
is nearing completion in the various
counties OF South Dakota and the dis
trict board, whose jurisdiction extends
over the entire state, now has COM
menced work. on the missionaries
which have been returned 20 local eX-
emption boards and turned over by
those boards to the district board. The
agricultural claims for classification
are being scrutinized very closely. 1t
Is reported that unless the claimant
can show good success in the pursuit
of agriculture he will be denied any
deferred classification. Unless he can
show return equal to one-third OF the
value of the land, based upon fair
valuation, and reasonable distance
from populous centers, where the prox-
unity Of cities does not make the value
out of proportion, he runs good chance
of being deemed Of little value in that
occupation and is likely to be classed
near the top. Claimants for deferred
classification are avoiding as much as
possible extravagant claim of farm in
comes because of the fact that there
is an income tax due. It is realized
that good claim in one is a strong La
bility in the other.
