From now on most of this advice comes
from patent hog medicine agents who
travel from farm to farm prescribing
for hogs whether the hogs and pigs are
alling or not. A number Of farmers
called at the farm bureau office last
Saturday. says, County Agent Quist, in
curing about the merits Of patent hog
tonlcs. From reports gathered the
stock tonic agents are offering to far
mers, hog medicines that are cure.alls
for all hog diseases, and medicine that
would probably be as much of cure
all FOR cattle, horses and all other liv-
ing creatures found on farms.
Hog tonics, medicines etc. are not
always detrimental to hogs. Often
times they are benificial when proper
ly used. The dangersQf feeding hog
tonics. says the County Agent, is thiss
The stock tonic statesmen attempt to
visit every farm. II the farmers pigs
are well the agents talk up their tonic
as "a preventative against all diseases.
II the pigs are sick or ailing, the agent
offers their stuff as a cure-all In
either case the salesmen's argument
are ito buy. Methods for curing hog
diseases are the same as for curing
human ills. In the first place when
people are well they do not keep doping
themselves with patent tonics. Sec
ondly when people are Ill they get the

What . Farmer is Worth.

The sunshine state, Sioux Falls
publication devoted to the agricultural
interests of South Dakota, has figured
out the value of a farmer in dollars
and cents. The basis upon which the
calculation is made are sound and in.
telligent. South Dakota in 1909 had
s52,622 farms. In 1910 it had 77,644.
The Increase in the numberSO of farms
was 26,022. The value of the farm
lands in the state in 1900 was $18a,-
.206,89O. In 1901 it was $902 ,6O6,7Sl.
The increase was 1888. .S61. i II the
increase In land valueS--and they do
not include mprOvements--is divided
by the increase in the number Of farms
1T gives the average value Of a farmer
other words, every farmer has added
that amount to the wealth Of the state
in land values alone. fys
It looks as though this result4is far
too high and 1t might seem to be due
to the fact that South Dakota was a.
comparatively new agricultural region
for the period involved and that the
change was one from zero to the final
value. Those things are true. but the
test holds approximately good from
figures from other sections. In the
group of states comprising Wisconsin,
Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana
and South Dakota the number Of farms
in 1900 was 4S5,7S8. In 1910 1t was
511.4S2, an increase of 75,70A In
1900 the land values, excluding Inn,
provements. were $i,5O5. .0S4 ,310. In
1910 they were $3.50, 1913 ,473, a gain Of
S2,345, ,734, 1852. Again dividing the In
crease in farm values BY the increase
in the number of farms, and the value
Unfted States the number of farms in.
creased in the ten year period under
consideration by 624,1sO. and the val
ues increased by s15,417. .666,174. The
increase per farm is $24,7O2.
Against these results must be chare.
ed the increase in the value Of the
farms already in existence, and which
increased in value along with the new
ones and are included in the total in
crease value But in taking this fact
into consideration it must be remem-
bered that their values increased large
ly because of the new farms. In
other words. If the adjacent lands s!lad
not been improved. those already Inn
proved would have remained close to
the value they had before the new ones
were developed. 1t makes little diff
ference what elements contribute to
this increase. IT it comes from the
building of railroads. and consequently
from better marketing conditions, 1t
number of farms. for, except In rare
cases, the coming of the railroads to
agricultural regions Is dependent on
the increase in the number of freight
producing farms. If the increase is
based on the building of towns the
same reason applies. for Mowns are
built because the number of support
ing farms has increased So that in
the last analysis the increase In farm
land values depends upon the number
of farmers. On this basis it is easy
to determine the value of the farmer to
the state and the community. The
three analyses made show he is worth

The city council held a special meet

the city by "A. J. Gary last winter. OBJ
jections to the assessment as made were
alsoS considered, and after all had beer
carefully gone over the assessments
were allowed to remain as made. There
were some W objections made on tht
grounds that property owners liyinE
along the line Of sewer known as th<
outlet, which Is 15 inch pipe. were
compelled to pay for a larger pipe thar
those property owners paid who livet
along the line or, the inch sewer. This
difference in the price becaliAe Of the
larger pipe was paid from the genera
sewer fund, however, and the property
owners In the south part of the city
were asked to pay no more per foot
than those who lived In the north part
Of the city. Considerable complaint
was made because of the contractor not
having properly looked after the filing
OF the sewer ditch, and he was notified
ditch properly cared for. The clerk
Mr. johnson, was instructed to give no.
tice to the property owners of the man

from the date OF said notice in which
to either pay the assessment in full or
take advantage Of a waiver. and have
six years in which to pay The notice
will say that they may call at the treas

The council accepted some bonds at
the Monday night meeting from citi-
