TIMELY HINTS
STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE BULLETIN DISCUSS
ES FARM ACTIVITIES.

Pierre, July 1S-The farmer who
keeps his spring pigs growing rap
idly and gets them ready for the
early fall market will fare better
than his neighbor this year, advised
the state department of agriculture
in it's bulletin issued today.
The reason for this is said to lie
in the fact that the number of pigs
saved in South Dakota this spring
was 1905 per cent of the number
saved in the spring of 1921, accord
ing to the recent survey made by
rural mail carriers. The survey was
quite extensive in scope, covering IL
farms on each mail route. 1t show
ed that the number of litters in the
spring of 1922 was 1905 of the
number in the spring of 1921, while
the number of sows bred to farrow
next fall compared TO the number of
litters farrowed in the fall of 1921,
is 1871 per cent
Hog receipts are usually lightest
during September" says the buile-
tin. while the month usually shows
the highest prices. Live stock can
not be put into an elevator and fed
onto the market at Will as grain can /:
but the man who aims his production
for the points of low receipts usual
ly benefits by it, Also he does his
bit toward stabilizing the market" !"
Dairying is not a paneca for all
the ills of farming, says the state de-
partment of agriculture in its bulle-
tin, although ii furnishes steady in
come and a moderate return for the
labor put in. For the man who
likes a dairy COW, an dis going into
the business to stay for 10 years or
more, there is no better business
than dairying the department de-
clares
However, it continues, there are
indications that dairying is likely to
see a period of depressed prices dur
ing the next few years, from the fact
that many are looking upon it as
the salvation of their difficulties and
are turning from other types oil
| farming to dairying.
Figures issued by A. p. Ryger

ment Shows a steady rise in butter
production in South Dakota for the
last IL years, from 22,057,711
pounds in 1910 to 37,3O2,474 pounds

This should cause the man wht
contemplates buying high pricet
dairy cows to pause and think. He il
likely to pay for them with rathe

hand, the man who buys a dairy bul
is safe from incurring excessive in
debtedness in starting the business.

ERS HIT UPON PLAN TO
END WALKOUT.

ment of the rail strike today. The
latest peace move was cloaked in
secrecy sponsored by members of
the railroad labor board. 1t was un-

plan is based on an immediate return
of the strikers to work and the inn

agreement before the labor board.
Previous moves were blocked by the
refusal of the shopmen to return TO
their work, pending negotiations.
The new plan also embodies the res
toration of seniority rights, elimina-
tion of contract work by the roads
and creation of adjustment boards.

dru, the "Bluebeard of Gambais, !"
convicted of the murder of ten wo-
men and one boy, gave his life this
morning in exchange for the eleven
he had taken. The triangular knife
of the Guillotine fell at five minutes
past six O'Clock, the slight delay
causing many to think Landrau wass
making a confession.
"It is, an. insult to me- Landru
said. "Had | any Confession to make
| would have made it long ago." He
refused the sacrament, but conversed
a few. moments with a priest.
The Guillotine was erected only
few feet from the main entrance
of the Jail. Landru walked the few
steps without faltering. An execu-
toner's assistant caught him about
the waist, leveled him on the table,
which Immediately up ended. The
heavily weighted knife slid down and
the whole affair was over in less than
20 seconds.
The crowd uttered no cry, silence
being broken by the bugles in a near
