Prairie Dog Eradication

Poison bait is on hand at the county
agents office for all persons wishing
to put out poison, and ample supply
has been made up. Work will be
started next week on six large towns,
and these will be cleaned up before
starting on any others. If you have
listed your name in connection with
other men for the eradication of a
town Of 100 acres or over, the bait
will be distributed and the work
started right away.
Walter Bell, of Tuthill, got the for
mula from the county agent for mix
ing the poison, and had it prepared
at an expense of $l.0O per pound, got
all the dogs and said it was worth it
to him, for last year they did con-
siderable damage to him, practically
running a 40-acre field. Cooperative
listing is a whole lot cheaper than
that. for all cooperators are getting

SCHOOL NOTES

The county superintendent visited
us last week.
The high school pupils will take
final exams the first of next week.
Several of the seventh and eighth
grade pupils have been absent from
school since the final examination.
The school board has purchased
woven wire with which to fence the
school ground. This will surely be
a great Improvement.
Will all parties having books be-
longing to the school library return
them Immediately, as we wish to check
them and stack them for vacation?

FIRST GOOD RAIN OF SEASON

Monday evening, after the hottest
day of the spring season we were Wis
tied by the heaviest rain Of the season
In all the precipitation amounted to
AZ Of an inch. The first storm came
up from the southwest and it was ac-
companied by considerable hail, and
some of the hail stones were as large
as guinea eggs. However, the hail
did not last long, but the ground was
nearly covered with it. This was fol-
lowed by light shower of rain.
About nine 'clock heavy rain came
up from the north west which certain
ly was very welcome visitor. The
top of the ground was getting little
dry and the grass, small grain and
alfalfa-in fact all growing vegeta-
ton was needing just such a rain as
this one. 1t put new life into every
thing that was growing.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

What a lot more happiness there d
be in the world if we didn t have any
cash registers-that is, if we didn t
need any cash registers. Cash reg
listers keep men honest but they don t
make them honest. Every one of us
seems to have little kink Of dishon-
esty somewhere an so we seem to
need some kind of checking machine.
But it's awfully silly Since we've
got to be honest why not realize the
honesty that's forced on us has no
power to bring us joy9 We sort of
bunk ourselves, don't we? If we get
q real honesty like we get religion
an throw away the cash register then
we have all sorts of fun an just as
much money-maybe more. Spurious
honesty don't mean so much after
all. It's got to be real to be worth
while.

FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
A. S. Gray, County Agent
Livestock Shipping Ass n. Improved


At the annual meeting of the Murdo
Cooperative Shipping association, last
Saturday, new basis for receiving
and marketing livestock was estab-
lished, which will no doubt be a great
benefit to Mellette county shippers.
Under the plan hogs will be received
ut the association yards at any time
during any day in the week, thus
doing away with the former plan Of
hsting hogs in advance, which never
vas satisfactory with our farmers on
,."count of the long distances, made
quate mail and telephone connections,
and uncertain weather conditions. An
additional advantage has been secured
for shippers can now receive up to
Seventy-five per cent Of the market
value of their hogs at the time they
are unloaded, the balance to be re-
nitted to their banks when consign-
ment is sold.
Eaton Bros. were engaged as man
ayers for the ensuing year and all
cooperative shipments will go through
their yards. They are going to devote
all of their time in handling only
the cooperative shipments of the asso-
cation.
A straight charge of twenty five
cents hundred weight will be made
by the association, which will cover
all home expense, including yards, in
terest on cash advance, feed at Murdo,
managers commission, and sinking
fund. This also includes membership
in the association. The first shipment
a farmer makes automatically makes
him member Of the association. Any
losses incurred after the manager ac-
cepts the hogs in healthy condition
will be paid by the association from
the sinking fund, thus the hogs are
insured while on their way to market.
The board Of directors believe that
the new plan will appeal to the hog
raiser using Murdo as his shipping
point. The first year Of cooperative
livestock shipments from Murdo, just
past, proved that it is worth while
to cooperate in marketing livestock,
and the new facilities now available
will extend the usefulness of the as
sociation.
Several Mellette county shippers
were present at the meeting, among
them c. S. Hight, president of the
Mellette County Farm Bureau, Matt
Gillen, James A. Paleck and c. J. Ray.
Mr.. Paleck was elected to the board
of directors of the association.

testing demonstration will be held at
S. k. Langleys at 300 o'clock p. m,
Thursday, May IS.
Those cooperating in the seed corn

sUPT. sTINCHECUM RESIGNS

Superintendent C. V. Stinchecum
of the Rosebud agency has forwarded
his resignation to the Indian depart
ment at Washington. Mr.. Stinchecum
was transferred to Rosebud from the
Kiowa reservation in Oklahoma, a
short time ago, and since coming here
he has been offered a good position
with some oil company in Oklahoma,
which he finally decided to accept
and hence his resignation. We under
stand superintendent Stinchecum and
family expect to leave for Oklahoma
within the next few weeks.

VOLUME XI.
SELECTING DAIRY COWS

0AAhS O&AAAsA w !"
Successful dairymen are usually
good judges OF dairy cattle. They
are able to pass upon the merits and
faults Of an animal with rapidity and
accuracy. 1t is surprising to a great
many to see how a good Judge Of
dairy cattle is able to pick by sight
the cow which performs the best at
the milk pail
The only absolutely certain way of
differentiating between the good cow
and the poor one is on the basis OF
known production of milk and butter
fat. Too often records are not avail
able and under such circumstances the
man who is purchasing cattle or thin
ming out his herd must rely entirely
upon the appearance of the animals.
If Cne who has had little or nothing
to do with dairy cattle before is going
to buy dairy cows on the basis Of their
appearance, he will do the right thing
by taking an experienced judge OF
dairy cattle with him to help in the
selection. It is not always easy to
pick the best COWS without having
had a little experience along that line.
The dairy animal is lean and angu-
lar as compared with the beet animal.
The frame or build Of the dairy cow
is Of far more Importance than the
amount OF flesh which she carries.
A deep, wide and long body carries
with it the ability to eat large guam
titles Of feed. A good dairy cow must
be able not only to consume but also
digest feed efficiently. A loose, pliable
skin and a velvety coat of hair are
indications Of an efficient digestive
system.
A good dairy COW has a well-devel-
oped udder and long, crooked NAM
mary veins. A Judge likes to see the
udder attached high behind, of good
width, and with thighs not too feshy,
with udder carried well forward under
the body. Many COWS have fairly de-
velopcd udders in the rear quarters
but lack development IN the fore
quarters and front teats This condi
tion indicates probable lack OF pro-
ducing ability. The most desirable
udders are soft, pliable, elastic and
when the COW is dry or nearly so,
capable Of expansion. This charac-
teristic is referred to as equality"
Of the udder. 1t should be free from
meatiness.
Aside from large milk veins run
ming along the body wall, the obser-
yer should take note Of the size of
the milk wells or openings in the body
wall through whthehmic TX lshrderw
wall through which the milk veins
pass. There is no advantage in hav-
ing large veins if their capacity is linn
tied be small sized wells. The teats
should be evenly placed, and Of med
ium size.
Long life and good health are usual
ly associated with large chest ca
pacity. There must be plenty of room
in which the heart and lungs can per-
form their functions. This is referred
to as constitution and simply means
that the cow should have a large
heart girth, depth and width of chest
and fullness in the crops and fore
fanks.
The general appearance of the ami
NAL must be considered. Other things
being equal, the animal showing the
neatest, most alert and clean cut ap-
pearance should have a decided ad-
vintage. A good dairy cow usually

CHANGE MEETING NIGHTS

The local Masonic lodge ever since
its organization has had their regular
meetings on or before full moon each
month. This has been at times rather
confusing, and is rather an old, out
of-date method of setting meeting
nights. Beginning at once the regular
meetings of the local Masonic lodge
will be held on the second and fourth
Tuesday nights of each month and all
members are requested to govern them
selves accordingly.

has thin shoulders coming to point
at the withers. She also has broad
hips and long, level hump.
There are a great many points to
be considered in a careful study OF
the merits Of dairy cow. For con-
venience they may be grouped under
four heads, each with definite value,
as follows: -
Capaciy (for handling feed) 20
Constitution (chest capacity 10
Dairy temperament (udder-veins) 80
General appearance (clean cut) 15
Total 100
1t should always be remembered
however, that the Judging Of dairy
cattle is q short cut to their proper
ever, than the Judging of nd zlftce-a
selcstion. Although more rapid, 1t
IS not nearly so certain as the milk
scales and the Babcock tester. When
COWS are selected on judgment alone
hat judgment should be verified later
by the use of records of production
1t goes without saying that in the
purchase Of animals, attention should
be paid not only to dairy qualities
out also to health.
There is no place on the farm foI
the poor producing milk cow, nor the
cow with tuberculosis of infectious
abortion. Every means should be
employed to get rid of such animals
and if possible to avoid ever bringing
them into the herd.

recommended amputating the limb. In
answer to a message, Mr.. Palmer went

that removing the limb would not stop
it, as it would be lingering death.

limb, thought they might save it
