A couple of house wrens appeared and took pcs session. greatly to the delight of the young man and others who had watched them begin their house keeping. An interesting feature ol the process was the great activity of Mrs. Wren in carrying in material and building the nest while Mr. Wren strutted proudly about on the very ttp-top of the telephone pole, flirting his tail and singing the fin est songs he knew in his loudest vocc, "cvidenuy no"s -- oyrr the iuct that. in spils u- ..a ..2"...E .. houses and high rents. the wren family had secured Commodtous and comfortable quarters for the sum mer."

MACHINERY PRICES.

Sioux Falls. S. D., March 3o.-Farm
machinery prices in South Dakota are
N the decline. according to the large
distributors OF agricultural nipple.
rnents who have their state h%eadQuar-
ters here. Nearly all Of the larger
concerns announce a price reduction
of Is per, cent within the last month.
a few, however,, sI1aving made the cut
during sF.ebruarys&@7
AS to the future. these distributors
refuse to comment. They all agree
that further cuts will sorne time be
made but that from the standpoint Of
costs, there can he no reduction for
several months. Many machines. they
assert, are now being sold to the re-
tail dealers at less than the actual
cost Of manufacturing, based on he
cos Of material and labor.
The manager Of n large branch
warehouse declares that the next step
rests entirely upon labor.
Until wages are reduced accord
ing to this manager, thereby lower
ing the cost of the raw material to
our factories and until we are re-
CURED to pay less to have this raw
material made up into machinery,
there can be no further reduction in
our line"

tai OF 1.oss,s7l acres Of national for
est land u now under cultivation in

Just made by George A. Duthie. for
est supervisor here. The Black Hills
contain two Of the national forests,
the Black Hills national forest having
ney national forest, 535.610 acreA. In
addition, Mr.. Duthie added, there are
1911 acres OF national forestry in
Harding county In the northwestern
corner OF the state.
The national forests OF South Da-
kota were created In 1898, and under
a corps Of workers., whose duty it has
been to keep them continuously pro-
ducttve, they have grown until today
The western yellow pine constitutes
about IS per cent Of the timber, the
remainder being made up Of eastern

9sO"sa eI00!eo "nicLl recently nave
been completed disclose the fact that
it takes from $50 to 200 years for
the trees in the Black Hills to reach
merchantable size; many. Of the trees
are from 400 TO- 600 years old, but
tho rate OF growth since they reached

Our aim Mr.. Duthie declared, "is
to sell all Of these mature and over.
mature trees as fast as a market can
be found andt 0 retain in the forests
only the young. thrifty, fast growing
