one-story building of the estate built

The new arrivals have made the

ing to army officers.
Other use to which Photographic
maps are being put are preliminary
investigations Of watersheds, hydro
electric developments, highway, rail-
road and canal location, forest sur
veys and various engineering works.
Army air officers have perfected
automatic timing of exposures to
cover the proper ground area, and at
the same time secure the necessary
overlap for the accurate fitting to-
gether of individual negatives. This
permits taking Of pictures from the
moving airship or airplane.
Perfect Picture Methods.
Lenses have been discovered espe-
cially adapted for this type of work,
and the officers have developed the
technique covering such details as the
best height from which to take pic
lures for specific purposes, speed Of
airplane and maintenance of level
flights to insure verticality Of view.
The maps now produced by air service
photographers, according to officers,
attain a high degree Of accuracy and
wealth of valuable detail.
Aerial photography Is among the
subjects taught at the Ross Field
school. Air service officers point out
that among points of particular value
to engineering to be found in aerial
photography are the speed with which
such maps may be produced, ability
to cover territory inaccessible on foot,
comparatively low cost and impOs-
sibi!!ty of emitting any feature of the
area photographed.
The mosaic map, army officers say,
does not mean transit, stadia and
plane-table are In the discard, but that
engineering surveys made solely by
these time-tried Instruments will be
out of date.

dla. by way Of Turkestan. He wanted
to study philosophy there, he said.
Orchard Trees WhItewashed.
The lOO-acre farm includes a big or
chard, planted by the famous Russian
author, and one Of the first acts Of the
newcomers was TO %whitewash all the
trees. This operation was preceded by
IN animated discussion as to whether
It should be done. The young men care
fully debated this problem. If the trees
are not w~hltewashed the orchard will
be ruined by insects, but If the white
wash Is applied the insects will die Of
starvation and 1t Is wrong to destroy
life. AS the members Of the colony
are vegetarians and fruit Is therefore
the prime article of food to them, ne
cesslty prevailed over ideals and the
whitewashlng was done.
A second problem was solved much
after the same reasoning. For many
years the manager Of the TOlstoy es-
tate has been Prince ObOlinski, who
occupied II building once used by the
author as n peasants school. The
newcomers, declaring that the presence
Of an overseer might restrict their
liberty Of action" have decreed that
the prince must go, and the ObOlinski
fnmily 500 must seek food and shell
ter elsewhere.

PROPER FEEDING ASSURES
WINTER EGG PRODUCTION

Brookings, S. Oak. Dec. 7,--Or

mainly to the fact that the fiocks
are not given the proper feed. This
may be easily remidied and with 8
little labor and care the egg stand.

level, according to the State Col,

ment.
The following is a daily ration
which satisfies the needs of the
hens and is both economical and
practical:
Dry Mash
3 pounds of wheat bran
3 pounds of cornmeal
IL pounds Of tankage or com
mercial meat scrap
Scratch Grain
10 pounds Of cracked corn
5 pounds of barley, oats or wheat
Where milk is plentiful, three
gallons of skim milk or butter
milk furnished 70 each 100 hens
daily, will take the place of the
meat scrap and will give almost
the same results.
In feeding this ration care should
be taken to feed thedry grain in
deep straw, in order that the birds
may receive the desired amount of
exercise. The mash should be fed
in troughs or self-feeding hoppers,
and constant supply should h
kept before the birds at all times
A little potassium permanganate
added Ito the drinking water will
insure protection against the
spread Of disease from the drink
ing receptacle. When early pullets
are fed this ration, with free access
to oyster shells and sharp grit and
housed comfortably, winter eggs
are assured.

In Supt. Buckmaster you have
the best man in my opinion not
only in South Dakota but the
Northwest. Mr.. Buckmaster is
not doing it all because it takes
cooperation and other employees
but it demonstrates that he is not
only on the job but that he is just
as successful in getting other boys
who are under him to take the
same interest that he is taking. If
Buckmaster ever gets out of a Job

High Praise
For Highway
Superintendent

That Jackson County has the
best dirt roads in the entire west
has long been recognized by resid-
cnts Of the county and matter of
great pride to the people living in
this county, and the many compli-
ments received by people from the
east who have travelled over our
roads has made more gratifying
the fact that we have these roads.
The Board of County Commission
ers, consisting of Commissioners,
Frank Coye, S. o. Redmon and f
w. Thode have at all times been
an ardent booster of good roads,
and have gave unstinteu support
to their highway Superintendent
J. E. Buckmaster, who with hi!
assistants have made possible the
enviable position we have reached
with our good road program. and
made possible the advertising Of
our good roads throughout the en-
tire country.
Recently w. D. Fisher, secretary
of the Custer Battlefield Highway
Association, made trip over this
scenic route from Sheridan, Wyom-
ing, to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and
in writing to the Press spoke in
the highest terms Of praise of the
roads of Jackson County. An ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Fisher bears
out the impression that we first
gained Of him that when he has
anything to say he says it, and
also means exactly what he says,
nd his comments on the roads
through this country are not mere
ly idle praise on his part, but a
statement of facts as he views it.
The following is excerpts from the
letter received from Mr.. Fisher
