Up the Lake Shores

The editor and wife joined a party
of Big Stone friends, consisting of
F. w. Thorndike, l. D. Aldrich and
Conrad Puder, with their respective
wives and Master Robert Aldrich, and
made trip through Minnesota to
several miles along the east shore of
Lake Traverse, passing through the
towns of Clinton, Graceville, Barry,
Beardsley and Browns Valley, and go
ine much of the way along the Min
nesota branch Of the King of Trails.
On this route there were three
la~ge grading outfits at work between
Ortonville and Browns Valley, and
much of the road was already in fine
shape. A particularly fine piece of
the drive was the road north from
Browns Valley and along the banks
of Lake Traverse, where there is a
fine stretch of timber on the road,
making beautiful landscape pic
ture. If our South Dakota people ex-
pect to keep the K. T. or any other
popular highway to the north they
will have to do some tall hustling as
the Minnesota folks are doing some
fine work under state supervision.
The party picniced on the shore of
Lake Traverse, and Master Robert
and the writer in sizing up the situa-
ton later both declared that they
never before knew that there could be
so many good things to eat cooked on
a camp fire. Bro. Aldrich claims to
have raised the potatoes for the feast,
bot from personal interview with
Mrs. Aldrich we learned that his
raising" consisted in lifting
them into the automobile, and we also
learned that the state reputation he
has gained as an expert gardener
from whom the rest of US country
editors are supposed to take lessons,
has been built up on the fact that
Mrs. Aldrich has indeed one of the
finest gardens in Big Stone and will
be able to keep the family together
during the coming winter, even tho
advertising and subscriptions should
not meet expectations.

LOW GRADE WHEAT FOR FEED
Does Not Contain Quite as Much Fat
tenino Material as Corn, But
More Protein.

If your wheat grades very low, you
should consider whether ii is not
worth more to you for feeding pur-
wheat should be worth Sl.SO per
bushel for feed. particularly II there
Is some dockage In 1t. Wheat does
not contain quite as much fattening
material as corn, but more protein,
which is the milk producing and grow
ing substance. For this reason II
makes an excellent feed for milk for
cows as part OF the grain ration.
1t also will make q good feed for pigs.

MAKE START WITH ALFALFA
Easier TO Get Stand Where Sweet
Glover Has Been Previously
CroWn-1acteria Needed.

It seems to be somewhat easier to
get alfalfa started where sweet clover
has been previously grown, as the
sweet clover is more likely to give a
better infestation Of the proper bac
teria TO the soil. but it is not neces-
mry TO grow sweet clover first when
he alfalfa seed is we'll inOculated.
tven il sweet clover is to be grown
rst its seed should be inOculated or
may not grow much.

From Our EXCHANGES

The Summit Farmers Elevator is
sure thing now. Over $1,000 has been
subscribed and the total will be much
above that figure before the subscrip-
tions are all in. Over SO farmers are
interested thus far. A meeting has
ben called for Saturday to elect Off
GERS and complete the organization.
1t is desired to begin repairs on the
elevator as soon as possible and get it
inshape to handle the early grain
when it comes in. Every farmer in
this vicinity should attend the Satur-
da! meeting g.-Independent.
Sioux Falls, S. D-Farmers in this
district report that harvest hands are
offering to work for 35 cents an hour
instead Of so cents as they first de-
'manded. In many counties farmers
refused to pay the demands first
made by labor, on the grounds that
there would be no profit in crops if
a 50-cent an hour work scale were
established.
Over two carloads of wool have
been shipped from Codington County
this year. This is another step in
farmers organization. This wool is
being shipped to Chicago and will be
stored and graded and held until the
price gets reasonable. This wool is
separated into grades similar to the
manner of handling wheat. After
grading. this wool is sold by the State
Wool Growers Association directly to
the millers. The total amount of wool
shipped is 27,31S pounds. This wool
belongs to siNty-two different wool
growers of the county and represent
ed at least 6S per cent of the wool of
the county. The following is a detailed

VENTILATION

Ventilation Is as important q
matter in the harm as In the

built without care being given
to supplying fresh air for the
stock. Some sort OF a vent
should be placed at the top Of
any reasonably closely enclosed
barn. as the foul air will other
wise hang under the roof and
eventually make all the air in
the barn bad The cool, pure
air will find Its way In II there

WINTER BIRDS NOTED
 IN AND ABOUT NORWICH

A Norwich . bird student writes; Red polls in our apple trees for three days! Certainly a joy to hear theli canary like note and then to see then hanging to the twigs as we see botf the chickadees and goldfinches do- ing. In a walk this week on the Ctrobando road we found two song sparrows and saw them taking a drink from the brook; but 1 suppose they are about all winter, only we do not find them.
 The Redpolls are the rare visitors coming irregularly when the seeds fail them for their worth and they came to see what they can find here They are so pretty, only little over five inches long with a bright red crowd patch. rosy-red (so beautiful when the sun strikes it) breast, ano white wing bars. The female lacks this rosy red.
 Following is a list of what I have seen this week although a very or dinary list except for the polls nut-hatch, downy and hairy wood aecker. lawn creeper, chickadee iineo. tree sparrow, song sparrow blue jay. goldhnch. and of course the ever present English sparrows, starl- !ngs and crows.

MISS GRErA FORBADE ILL;
 MISS ADA PARKHURST SINGS

The precedent of musical excellence so well established by the Bass Clef Club was admirapIy sustained at thelr concert at Slater Hall on Friday even ing, assisted by Miss Ada rarkhurst, soprano. Before commencing the pro gram, pr. C. c. GiIdersIez ve< pfesi- dent of the organization, announced that the influenza had not only di- unfinished the attendance Of the club members, but also, deprived them Of their -soloist as originally planned, for Miss Greta Torpadie was too i'll to leave home. This necessitated quite change in the program. Miss Parkhurst announcing her own num-
 bers as she sang.
 The first three selections sung by the Club, Viking Song (Coleridge Taylor) The Peggy Dew Qrish Folk
 Song) and The Brownies (LeonD rojlicking and whimsical in style, were given with typical fire and spirit, The Banks of Allan Water (Horn1 Temptation Hastings) and Laugh ing Song (AbD q collection of tune full ballads quickly Vol. the audience and the Laughing Song proved So pleasing, that it had to be repeated "Waitin' for de Moon to Shine
 (Hastings) and Wake, Miss Iindy (Warner) two delightful negro songs, full of pathos and melody were rem dered with much sweetness, and hap py sense of rythm. As usual, Charles Geer, director of the club, conduct ed the singing with that whole souled
 attention to time and shading, which
 brings out such excellent and tune full results.
 The Club should consider them selves most fortunate in securing Miss Parkhurst at such short notice. Pos sessed of a beautiful clear soprano
 of marked lyric quality she sang her self into the hearts of her audience from the first. Gifted to a degree her high range of crystalline purity together with a remarkable cleaINess of Ndiction, proclaimed her a true ar tiste.
 Her first number A Song of Praise 1 (Brahms) a difficult aria well caclu- lated to show off her vocal brilli- i ance and range, was followed by 3 melodious ballod, A Swing Song l (Moore). Her second group con-
 sisting of a plaintive Lithuanian Song an old Irish tune, I Know where i Am GoinFs and two French chansons
 was in charming contrast. Insistent | applause brought a delightful en-
 core, Daddy's Sweetheart. Her third
 and last group. Three Cavaliers (Rus-
