the union was formed the farmers

A OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was cheerful. More than normal
activity in trade and industry, despite
holiday influences. ~Shutdowns Of in
dustry curtailed. Fuel, iron and steel,
building materials and textiles report
encouraging activity, with prices
strong or higher. Holiday and mail
order trade best in two years. Three
to six months business for 1923 re-
ported secure. Pig iron. scrap mater
ial. cotton goods, raw wool and cotton
prices advanced. Rain and snow help
winter wheat and water supply. Raw
cotton exports swell outward trade.
food takings decrease and wheat ex-
ports disappointing. Weekly food in
dex slightly lower, but prices other
wist strong. Optimism dominant as
year closes.

it is declared the fireplaces were built

Biologists say that in general, soil
deposition takes place at the rate of
approximately one inch each century.
This also is a theory advanced by
Charles Darwin, it is pointed out, who
advanced the belief after years OF
careful study. The average depth be-

THE FARMS BEST AID

Three things are especially import
ings on the farm according TO the TX.
tension engineer at State college. The
first is a high, we'll drained location
where he buildings will show up well.
The second is an arrangement Of build
ings and lots that is convenient for
doing chores and handling the farm
business. The third is an arrangement
that will be attractive. Ready access
to the buildings, without having to so
through gates and fences, is one of he
first things to consider for conven-
fence. This may be secured by locat-
ing the building around a court, more
or less rectangular in shape, SO that
one end or side, at least of each build
ings opens onto this court.
Certain related buildings, such as
the corn crib and hog house, should
be close together, as should other
buildings from which the same lot
might be used. A long distance be-
tween buildings carries d great waste
Of time in a year and is no longer con
sidered necessary, although it is not
desirable to have the house too close.
A distance of $50 feet should be con,
sidered as a minimum.
Locating the buildings around a
court is usually an attractive arrange
ment. All Of the buildings will show
from the road more or less and a view
Of each may be had from the house.
1t is best not to have the court per
fectly rectangular as straight lines can
be o%verdone. The way buildings set
with the compass should harmonic
and a harmonizing design Of the barns,
especially in the type Of roof, is desir
able. The buildings are the best ad.
vertisement for the farm business and
an attractive arrangement is no more
expensive.

Recent Investigations made in the
formations of the Badlands of western
South Dakota furnish accepted proof
that man once inhabited that vast
waste and remains of mans habita-
tions there of undoubted ancient orig
in have been found. Through compar-
isons of ruins apparently left by hui
man beings Of some form, it is gener-
ally accepted by biologists hat mans
residence in the Badlands a~ntedates
by ovr a thousand years the generally
accepted time Of the earliest of the
ancient Egyptian kings, who ruled
Egypt 1892 years before the birth of
Christ. 1t is shown in the deposits,
biologists declare, that it is possible
that man trod the soil of South Dako-
ia at least $500 years B. c. or earlier.
In several places near Interior, which
is in the heart Of the broken Bad
land country, canyons cut deep into
the Badland basins. Some Of these
canyons are narrow and evtend down
into the Badland formation 40 feet.
leaving perpendicular wills approvi.
mately 40 feet in height.
Along these cut banks have been
found urn-shaped masses Of charcoal,
burned earth calcined bones and
burned rock. The spaces occupied by
these burned masses are two feet in
diameter by two or three feet high.
In the ashes at the bottom Of the mass
flint chips and an occasional flint ar
row head have been found. Frag.
ments of pottery of crude workman,
ship also are brought to light. No
human bones, however, have as yet
been discovered, but biologists ex-
plain this by pointing out the enor-
nous period of time which 1t is held
has elapsed since the deposition took
place.
Many Of the basins through which
these canyons are cut are at least
three miles wide and ten miles long.
The stratum of soil at the level Of the
ancient areplaces exhibits a black
humus, which Is a network Of intri.

It would seem, though that if kick
ing is ever justified, tie hog, the mos'
obstinate of creatures, would affoIt
the justification. And he receives
more kicks than any other animal
partly because he offers greater pro
vocation and because most every
square inch to his surface is a soft
spot where the kicker can land with

kicker. Almost any other object with.
in kicking range would serve his pur.
pose as walls, fences, anything, are
kicked by angry little boys. The kick
is an exhaust for bottled-up anger, like
tears or profanity.
Wallace's Farmer, however tells
What Ii Costs TO Kick a Hog and
adds in the headline Bruises on hogs

check" The Farmer" then presents
information which may be valuable to
stockmen if all Of them should act
upon ii. An investigation, it is stated,
discloses that fifteen per cent of all

plant shows injuries. They seem to
have been inflicted by kicks and blows

ever was handy at the moment of ir-
ritation. 1t is estimated hat the loss
a twenty-pound ham in consequence
of a kick is seventy-fve cents.
The loss falls first upon the packer,
but packers are notorious for shifting
their losses. or making them up. The
packer charges such a loss as this to
the cost of operation and he lets it
figure in lower prices paid for hogs.
An exchange opens a discussion of
the circle with the statement that
kindness pays" Kindness does not
necessarily have anything TO do with
il. Kindness is an admirable quality,
and the man who refrains from kick
ing a hog. bcause of his unwillingness
to return evil for evil. is entitled to
our esteem.
But self-interest should dictate to
the man who has no kindnss in his
soul that II is not good business to
give to a hog a kick from behind when
the result may be the loss Of seventy
fiven cents on a ham.
We do not suppose IL hurts the hog
much, anyhow. We have never known
the of a hog TO be ~noticeably
mended by harsh treatment. All the
kicker really gets out OF 1t is a petty
satisfaction which, as We have shown
has a kick back in the shape Of lower
prices.
All kicking is foolish. The man
who kicks is only usurping a prerog'
alive Of the mule. Don't kick people,
animals or things; don't kick at them
or about them. Don't kick at all.

A BURBANK WITHOUT SUPPORT

South Dakota is beginning TO wake
up 10 the fact that it is not making the
most of the genius Of DR.. n. +. Hansen,
the Burbank OF South Dakota, in in
~creasing the productivity OF the state.
Here ii has engaged the services Of a
man who is recognized over the entire
northwest as the leading horticultur-
list and a veritable wizard in producing
new varieties of grains, fruits and
other valuable plants that have been
of Unreasonable benefit TO the state;
and now the state is losing the full
capacity of his ability because he is
hampered by lack Of land on which to
experiment. The price OF land in this
state has not yet reached such high
levels that il could be called e~xtrava-
giant to secure a few acres for expert
mental plots over the state and TO Sc
cure enough more near State college
to make the largest plant improvement
farm in the world. The returns from
this investment will be of incalcuable
value to this and future generations.
The newspapers OF the state are TAX
ing up DR.. Hansen's plea to the legis-
lature for support in his work and are
strongly urging that everything he
asks be granted. Just as a sample of
what the important dailies OF the state
are saying we quote two of their edi-
torials:
Aberdeen News: South Dakota owes
a mighty debt to n. E. Hansen. the
plant breeder and head of the State
Horticultural Society. For many
years he has devoted his life to bring
ing forth new varieties of grains and
fruit adaptable to the climate of this
state.
He has ranged the world for the
sake OF South Dakota and from distant
lands brought alfalfa. wheat, soy
beans, and hardy fruits, all OF which
he has improved by breeding and ther
given freely to the world for the sake
Of better growth and larger produce
in his home state.
Now he has come to the capacity OF
his experimental plots at Brookings
and he finds his work only just be,
CUR. His occupation is one of long
waits and years between beginning
and end. Generations of plants must
come and go to complete results that
he seeks.
To expand the development OF
fruits, especially in South Dakota, he
would have experimental plots estab.
lished in various parts of the state.
This Is the way the government does
over the nation and the same idea is
sought for the state with such farms
at Aberdeen, Watertown, Sioux Falls
Yankton and Rapid City. These would
be model orchards in which fruits
suitable for this state in it's various
parts would be developed, the whole
enterprise looking tothe end that
some day as distinctive and palatable
fruit can be raised under the limita.
tions of the climate and locality as is
brought forth In more congenial
climes.
