Beats Anything
I've Ever Seen
South Dakota Man Tells OF His
Wife's Wonderful RestOra-
ton to Health.

Here is another wonderful en-
dorsement of Tanlac that will be
read with interest by thousands Of
people throughout this section. r.
Blue, well-known retired farmer.
residing at 2O4 East 9Th St., Nit
chell, S. D., in relating his wife'a
said:
t'The way Tanlac has restored my
wife's health and built her up beats
anything l ever heard of. About
two years ago she commenced hav-
ing trouble with her stomach, and
got to where she couldn't eat any
thing to speak of. At times the
blood would rush to her head. and
she got SO dizzy she could hardly
stand up. She complained Of pains
in her back, and at night she was so
nervous and restless she couldn't get
the sleep she needed. In fact her
health became generally run down,
and 1t worried US a great deal.
Seeing so much in the papers
about Tanlac helping others got
her a bottle and she began to get
better in almost no time. Her ap-
petite came back and now she can
eat anything she wants and every
thing agrees with her perfectly. She
has gained several pounds in weight
and all her strength has come back
to her. She sleeps we'll, never COM
plains of any pains or of nervous
ness and, in fact. is once more in
splendid health"

out the entire country as it has been
for the past year and particularly
right now. and the outlook for bet
ter prices is anything but encourag-
ing.
Eve tell you frankly, Don't ship
your hides III you value your time
at anything you'll be money ahead
IL you will forget that your COW or

AN EXPLANATION.

Some time ago we published all
article entitled "Hide Market On
The Rocks" in which We gave an
account Of a transaction Mr.. Theo-
dore Nicholson. Of Hillshead, s. D.,
had with the Watertown Hide & Fur
Co. Of WATERFOWL. s. D., in the
marketing Of COW hide. Certain
portions Of the article were taken
exception to by the above named
company where we inferred that they
were the ones who probably profited
by the transaction. We must confess
that this inference was made with,
out due consideration on our part.
and as Il is not our aim nor inten.
ton to do any injury to the w. II.
L +. Co.. We gladly make correc-
ton As We all know, the small
commission man has suffered a.
much as the farmer or anyone else
in the falling markets. and is COM
PEELED to take his losses with as
little chance for redress as any Of
as. This company had an advertise
ment in one Of the WATERFOWL pa
pers recently. explaining their posi-
ton in the matter. from which We
take the following excerpts:

FEEDING YOUNG LAMBS A
little grain fed to lambs at this time
OF the year returns big dividends in
the form OF increased growth. Young
lambs will soon find a feed trough
through lamb creep. The follow,
ing mixture provides the nutrients
which will produce excellent growth
in young lambs:
Oats (crushed or whole) Is pounds
Corn meal ------ 30 pounds

DIG THE BARBERRIES- would
be like finding $1.0OO.OOO If the
farmers of the state would dig GU.
every one Of the common barberry
bushes. The annual loss from black
stain rust is even more than mill
lion dollars. The common barberry
is the greatest source of infection
for this dreaded epidemic disease.
1t is in May that the rust starts
developing on the barberry although
1t does not show in the wheat fields
very much until late in June. Now
is the time to destroy the barberry
before the rust gets started.
MAKE CREEP FOR Sucking
PIGS-Suckling pigs begin to eat
grain when they are three or four
weeks DID,, and some provision
should be made for feeding them.
The careful hogman does not expect
them to obtain this feed from the
same trough in which the old SOW
is fed. Such a practice is undesir-
able because 1t does not insure that
every pig will have chance at the
trough and Furthermore there is
always the danger OF injury to the
young pigs crowding among bunch
OF old sows while eating. 1t is an
easy matter to partition OF por-
ton of pen of the food lot to
which the younsters only have &C.
cess. They will soon ind the place
and If provided regularly they will
make good use of it.-A. H. K.

President Hill Appoints Marketing
Committee Of Three.

HURON, s. D., April 21.-Presi-
dent w. S. Hill of the South Dakota
Farm Bureau federation has ap-
pointed o. s. Thompson Of Baltic
as chairman Of the Farm Bureau
marketing committee. The other
two members are Frank ]. Krug Of
Madison and John Frieberg of Yer
million.
This appointment was made fol-
lowing the unanimous adoption by
the state federation meeting last
week Of recommendation that a
marketing department" of this
federation should now be established
with an executive head, to cooperate
with all other farmers organizations
in properly pushing the cooperative
marketing of farm products. This
necessitates additional financing to
be provided by this Federation.
"1n anticipation of the final in
structions from the board of twenty
one directors appointed at Chicago,
it is recommended that the Presi-
dent of this Federation appoint a
permanent committee of three on
grain marketing to direct the work
of the Federation in pushing the or

Salesman.
A different angle was given to ad-
vertising by George E. Helm Of
Knoxville, Tenn, in addressing the
Retail Furniture Association of the
United States at the January meet
ing in Chicago. He said:
"Consider your advertising ap-
preparation a personal expense ac-
count. View your advertisement as
a parsonage. Name it; call him MIR.
White Space.
"You can dress Mr.. White Space
up in any old sort of cuts and he
will look a tramp. And yet you are
sending him out to represent your
store and its policies in the homes
of those you wish for patrons. Or
you can dress Mr.. White Space like d
gentleman, who will enter every
home in the community as a repre-
sentative of whom you can be
proud.
"Mr. White Space will have the
greatest opportunity in the history
of business before him this coming
year. He will be needed by Ameri-
can business in this year as he has
ever been needed before. And IL he
is sent out as the parsonage whom

Timely Reminders From South Da.
kota State College. Things to
Be Done in May.

KILL THE WEEDS Killing
weeds in the corn fields in the month
of May will save more water for
the use of the crop later on than
any other single operation that can
be performed. Use a light harrow
and drag the corn as soon as it is
planted and a time or two after il.
is up. The young weeds have not
had a chance to establish Them
selves in the soil and are limited to
the surface inch of loose material.
A harrow tooth is deadly enemy
to young weed but it will not do
its best work unless 1t is given an
opportunity to operate behind q
good farm team. Weeds are the
worst enemies on South Dakota
farms. Kill them while they are little
and save time and money!. G. H
HOW TO FEER THE PIGS - A
good league or rape pasture with a
self-feeder and automatic hog water
er makes for economic hog produce
ton and saves much time for the
farmer who is working overtime. to
say the least. at this season of the
year.-P. p. B.
PRESERVE EGGS NOW-Dur-
ing April and May egg production
usually reaches the maximum and as
a consequence the market price
drops to the lowest lovels. The
economical housewife takes ad-
vantage of this fact and lays by her
store of winter eggs, for eggs pre-
served at this season are not only
cheaper but keep better than those
put down later. Water glass has
been found to be the most salts
factory preservative in general. One
quart stirred into nine quarts OF
boiled cooled water will cover Is
dozen eggs when in flve gallon
jar. To secure best results eggs
should be clean, strictly fresh and
infertile. Stale eggs will float wher
placed in the solution. The eggs
should be covered by two inches OF
the solution and as the water
evaporates more should be added.
All the eggs may be put in at once
or added as they are obtained. The
crock should be put in cool dry
place and kept covered to reduce
the evaporation.-G. L. s.
DEMONSTRATION TEAMS START
May is the month when all DEM
onstration teams in bread, canning
and sewing clubs should be started.
ORDER REPAIRS-1f the repairs
for the mower and binder have not
been ordered yet it is time to do it,
II the canvasses need a buckle or
strap it wouldn't be bad idea to get
the leather on the next trip to town.
There may not be as many rainy
days for this work as last year. The
BINDER should carry few extra links
of chain Of each size. good variety
of bolt, cotter, keys, rivets, etc., as
we'll as a few pieces Of wire foy
emergencies and a good set of tools.

higher priced during September in
nine OF the past ten years and the
markets have received less in Sep
TENDER than in any other month.
The United States had 10 percent
less hogs in January, 1921, than in
1919. However. high percentage
OF pigs will be saved and by making
the hogs 10 percent heavier this
decrease may be overcome. II the
public buying power is low next
winter it may be profitable to plan
now to prepare for marketing as
many surplus hogs as possible dur
ing late August, September and
early October-.J. c. H.
PLANT STRAWBERRIES-1f you
have not planted that strawberry
patch, May is the time to do so.
Seven percent of the farmers Of
South Dakota grow their own
Strawberries. Practically all farm
ers in the state like to eat straw
berries. A farmers wife has never
been known to refuse to eat them.
Children fed a liberal allowance OF
strawberries are more healthy and
make better growth than those de-
prived Of this good food. They should
be home grown. A hundred plants
OF the everbearing kind will make a
good start and some berries can be
picked in August and September. The
soil of South Dakota is the natural
home Of this wonderful berry.-H.

KEEP FIELD MICE OUT OF
ORCHARD - They frequently in
jure young trees, and even trees
several years old, by gnawing them
near the ground Their natural home
Is in runways under old matted
grass and among weeds and rubbish
along fence rows. Clean culture in
and about orchards will destroy
these runways and expose the mice
to their natural enemies such as
hawks and owls. Begin now to
reduce next winters army of these
troublesome pests.-E. G. o.
SPRAY HOME APPLE Or
CHARDS-Wormy apples can large
ly be eliminated by thorough and
timely spraying of the apple trees
with lead arsenate at the rate of a
pound and a half Of the poison to
SO gallons OF water. The spray, to
be effective, must be applied within
week after the blossoms fall
(early in May) and must be directed
downward onto the young fruits. For
effective spraying spray rod with
an angled nozzle at its end is neces-
sary. A second spraying with lead
arsenate about four weeks after the
first will largely prevent injury by
the second brood of worms.-A.
L. F..
FEEDING YOUNG P1GS.-If suit
/ able provision by means of a creep
enables sucking pigs to obtain feed
regularly, care should be exercised
to keep the feed clean. Skimmilk
with a little shorts or ground oats
from which the hulls have been sifted
makes a good mixture with which
to begin. A little later a small
amount of corn meal or soaked
shelled corn may be added to the
daily ration. A mixture that has long
been favorable one with many hog
men contains the following:
Wheat middlings ---- 35 pounds
Ground oats ---------- 35 pounds
Tankage or oilmeal So 10 pounds

Stores To Close Evenings

and each alternate Thursday
when they will be open on account
of this being pay night at the
Woolen Mills.
Our merchants have co-operat-
ed with their country customers
through the busy summer months
by staying open three nights a
week, while in many of the sur
rounding towns the stores were
open only two evenings a week,
and some, Croswell for instance,
open only on Saturday, but now
that the rush season is over it is
felt that Saturday evening is suf-

MUSIC STUDY CLUB

The officers of this club have
begun active preparations for the
seasons work and the outlook for
pleasant and profitable winter
is bright indeed.
1t has been decided to hold the
iortnightly meetings in Princess
theatre instead of at private
homes, and the theatre has been
engaged for the purpose, the first
regular meeting to be held on the

pected by the whole club that
something especially pleasing will
be forthcoming at each gathering,
the program being very carefully
made out for the year and assign
ments made so that all will know
what they have to do.
Last year arrangements were
made with the Interstate Ly-
ceum Bureau for a course of five
entertainments in Yale, and it. is
now an assured fact that our city
can look forward to the best in
that line.
The Music Study Club starting
two years ago. with but few
n embers, has grown and develop
ei into something that Yale can
we'll be proud Of. The work ac-
c0mplished is delightful and in
s.ructive alike and the Club,
" ishing that all might share in
lis advantages, takes this way of
inviting any and every lady not
now a member, to become one
and give their names to Mrs. Chas.
Rounds before the first meeting.
The Club has always been open to
all for membership ard hearty

Half The Homes Mortgaged

The census takers counted &c.
1876 homes in the District of Co.
lumbia. About 1912 per cent are
owned by the occupants. About
6812 per cent are rented. Of the
28,5O3 owned by those who live
in them, $50 per cent were en-
numbered by mortgages, or more
than half.
The greatest expense the own
er has to meet with is taxes. Next
to this and somewhat less, is the
upkeep. Here are highly suggest
i've facts for experts on taxation
to ponder. If, up to the present
time, more than half the families
that own their homes in the Dis
trict of Columbia have had to
put mortgages on their homes,
VIA is likcl' 20 he the result of
the whole country when we have
