Australia Rich In Libraries.
Victoria's (Australia) five hundredth
free library was opened lately. One
and all of the older libraries are well
patronized. The gross revenue re
ceived by them in the aggregate from
balls, members' subscriptions, and
grants is about $340,000. There are
about a million books in these libra
ries, and it was claimed that some
tLink like 3,600,000 visits are paid to
them in the year. While works of fic

general literature and history receive
a good deal of attention.

K NEW INDUSTRY IN THE CATTLE
AND MINE COUNTRY COM*
jlNQ TO THE
VRONT.
1400 BUSHELS OF UME DAILY
ro Go Through Hydrators After July
1—Story of a Moat Promising Un
dertaking Which Haa Recently Been
Opened Up.
Rapid City.—Western South Dakota
has long been known as the greatest
cattle range in the world. The mines
of the Black Hills have been famed
from the beginning of their history.
The last five years have been filled
with developments in another direc
tion which bid fair to make the vast
resources of this region the basis for
a vast gathering of an Industrial peo
ple.
The real beginning of all this dates
from the consolidation of the small
light and power companies in the up
per Hills. Not until the Dakota Pow
er company, who are more or less
closely allied with the Westinghouse
people, began the subjection of the wa
ters in Rapid and Castle canyons, was
there any real tendency towards manu
facturing in the Black Hills.
At this time the largest saw mill
west of the Missouri river, the only
complete peeking plant in a grazing
country and two brick plants, running
24 hours a day, two modern gypsum
mills and one fixture factory repre
sent the purely manufacturing plants.
However, the dream of the geolo
gists is about to be realized in the
overcoming of the fear of the long dis
tance market, through the appropria
tion of the advantages gained through
having all of the raw material required
in manufacture of Portland cement,
located upon one tract of land.
Some years ago two young men se
cured two sections of land and by care
fully saving their money, laid by funds
enough to make a complete investiga-,
tion and found that they had lime,
gypsum and shale, all of the highest,
quality and in quantities sufficient to
feed a five thousand barrel mill mak
ing Portland cement lor a hundred
years.
Onida Celebrates.
Pierre.—There was rejoicing at
Onida Tuesday from a double cause,
one over the laying of the cornerstone
of the new courthouse, the other over
the magnificent rain, which was wel
comed as the best rainfall in that sec
tion in a year. The day was bright
and clear, and while there was a good
attendance it was limited by the rainf
making the roads bad for auto travel
and keeping people at home.
The ceremony of the laying took
place at 4 o'clock, the huge stone be
ing placed in position, meaning to the
people of that town an end of all ques
tion as to the permanency of the town
as the capital of Sully county. In
the stone were placed copies of the lo
cal papers of the county of today as
well as old files of the beginning of
the county, names of the commission
ers who arranged for the building and
those of the architect and builder.
A special effort was made to secure
the attendance of the oldest settlers
of the county, and many of them were
present by special invitation to see
the beginning of a more permanent
growth of the county which they
helped to build on the bare prairie
nearly thirty years ago. The court
house will cost $75,000.
Asks Investigation.
Washington.—Representative Qsvte.
of Minnesota, has received several
letters from residents of South Dako
ta, urging him to induce the officials
of the general land office to investi
gate the conduct of the land office
at Gregory, d. D., and the adminis
tration of T. C. Burns, the register,
that they understand he
haB

had oc
casion recently to champion the rights
of one of his constituents who had
trouble at Gregory and add their de
mands that the office be investigated.
Killed While Cleaning a Rifle.
Mitchell.—Fred Appel, a young man
living in Miner ?ounty, near Canova,
was accidentally killed. He was clean
ing a small rifle, when the gun was
discharged by the trigger coming in
contact with a bench and the ball en
tered his forehead and went down
ward, penetrating the brain. He lived
two hours afterward. He was 25 years
old and the second son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Appel, prominent residents
of that county.
Poison in 8hoe Peg.
Bridgewater.—Infection caused by a
nail or peg in his shoe developed into
a case of blood poisoning, necessitat
ing the amputation of the right leg
above the knee of John S. Hofer, a
wealthy farmer residing six miles
touthesat of here.
Brenton Trial Delayed.
Deadwood.—On his plea of ill health
Che trial of James Brenton, former
mayor of Des Moines, la., charged with
illicit liquor selling near Conata, in
Pennington county, was continued by
ludge Willard in the United States
court to the next term at Deaowood

KEEPING ANTS OUT OF HIV^S
Ordinary Table Turned Upside Down
With Empty Inverted Tomato
Cans Will Do the Wor k.
To the numerous inquiries as to
how to keep ants out of hives, why
not take Josh Billings' advice as to
bedbugs—"just kill 'em all"? The
best way to kill ants is with the oft
repeated remedy, 1. e.f bisulphide of
carbon. However, there are places
which, for one reason or another, It
is almost impracticable to kill off the
ants and then the apiarist needs a
hive-stand that will exclude them.
The illustration shows one of my
hi re-stands complete and ready to have
the hive placed upon it, writes J. M.
Caldwell in the Gleanings in Bee Cul
ture. It is nothing but a table turned
upside down, and an empty tomato
can, with the top melted oft, inverted
over each table-leg. The ants can
crawl up the table-leg and all around
ou the inside of the can, but they can
not make the turn around the lower
edge of the cans, and come up on the
outside of cans and thus reach the
hive.
The space between the table-leg
and Inside of cans must be at least
half an inch but the cans rest on the
ends of the legs.
Just take an old super or box. Cut
four pieces 2x2x12, and nail one in
each corner. Round oft the projecting
edges, then melt the tops off from four
*^5. .Mi
How to Make It.
tomato or peach cans (3-pound cans
are best) then Invert a can over each
leg and nail cross-pieces on top to
brace the legs with, and for the hive
to rest on but be very careful not to
allow any holes In the sides of the
cans that the ants can crawl through.
This works on the same principle as
the tin pans used on posts under corn
cribs to keep out mice—no patent on
it either.
Putting the legs of the stand in bas
ins of water or oil will drown the bees
when the wind blows, and they miBs
the alighting-board and fall down at
the corners. At one time I had fifty
hives on stands with the stand-legs in
water. I also tried oil.
Here is something which I have nev
er seen in print. Ants carry out the
queen, bees, and eggs from the cells.
TO REMOVE STUMPS EASILY
Where Time Is No Object Hole May
Be Bored Through Center and
Fire Built to Burn It.
An easy way to remove stumps,
where time is not an object, is to dig
a trench beside the stump and then
to bore a diagonal hole through the
stump so that the lower end of the
hole will be near the top of the trench
and the upper end some distance
above the ground. Build a fire in the
trench and partially cover. it so that
the flame will draw through the auger
hole like it would through a flue. As
soon as the fire is started a draft is
created through the auger hole and
this helps to, fire the stump much
more rapidly. This method requires
no great equipment and will be found
effective though it takes time. If one
is so situated that he desires to clear
a considerable area of stumps the use
of the stump puller would be the more
economical method although it may

require considerable expenditure for
the purchase or rental of the stump
puller and the necessary teams and
men. Of course, dynamite will do the
work more quickly, but this is a very
dangerous Bubstance and should be
used only by an expert
Great Harvest Month.
July is the great harvest month in
central and northern sections of our
country. The hay crop promises to be
good this season and oats are above
the average in many places. It will
pay to save all of them because they
will bring good prices before next sum
ner.
Care of the Lawn.
The charming appearance of a well
kept lawn appeals to every one. Some
care is required to keep it in good con
dition but nothing connected with the
residence, inside or out, gives so large
returns for such moderate outlay. The
laws mower must be need regularly.

LOOKING TO SEED POTATOES
Shoultf Be Carefully Examined and
Only Those Entirely Free From
Disease Uae|.
(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Seed potatoes should be carefully
examined for traces of dry rot. Only
potatoes entirely free from disease

Will be sure to grow a diseased crop.
try rot shows as dark or black
spots running through the potato from
the stem end. Usually the stem end
of the potato, when diseased, will
show a sunken apearance around the
stem. In any case the (lark spots

How Seed Potatoes Are Cut.
near the stem end with a knife in
cases of bad infection, the black spots
may run half way through the tubers.
Where the Infection, is slight, it may
occur only near the stem end. Of
course, some of the tubers may be
free from spots, and these are safe for
planting on new land, but the disease
lives over in the soil as well as in
the tubers.
Where the disease has not pene
trated more than one-third the length
of the potato, the half of the potato
toward the bud end may be used for
seed with better promise. In such
cases, the knife used for cutting
should be dipped in a solution of cor
rosive sublimate, formaldehyde or car
bolic acid after cutting diseased tu
bers, and before cutting others.
The usual seed treatment for scab,
etc., will be very useful to kill dry-rot
spores which may adhere to tubers
and may be applied to the healthy
portions after separation from the dis
eased parts of potatoes.
The means by which late blight is
carried from place to place is the
chief question which interests the ship
pers and planters of seed potatoes.
This is restricted to tubers which
show the dry rot. These carry the
fungus in a semi-dormant state, which
develops after the tuber is planted,
and spreads to the leaves of the grow
ing plants. The purchaser has the
matter entirely In his own bands. If
he insists on all sound tubers and
plants, only such there will be no dan'
ger of introducing late blight with
them.
Blight is probably never carried on
the surface of the tubers.
Do Not Neglect Gardens.
The fact is notorious that the farm
er's garden is not as well cared for as
that of the artisan. In fact, it is in
many instances entirely wanting. Usu
ally the larger the farm the more in
significant the garden. The excuse
given is that the farmer hasn't the
time. The answer to this is clear. A
good garden adds to the comfort and
enjoyment of the farmer's family, and
aids in promoting health. No farmer
is justified in being so busy that he
cannot furnish what is essential to the
well being of his home.
The drains should be properly laid
out and carefully graded.
Encourage the boy to fit some live
stock to show at the local fair.
You give the weeds a big advan

The best fertilizer for asparagus ia
rotted manure from grain-fed horses.
The manure for. peas, beets and on
ions should be fine, rich and well rot
ted.
Salt seems to add greatly to the
palatability of tankage, whether fed
dry or in slop.
Manure as well as fertilizers should
be thoroughly mixed in the soil before
drilling in the seed.
By sewing a pinch of lettuce seed
every ten days there will always be
tender salad for the table.
There is nothing about good tank

The Peruvian guano substitute ia
the standard truck fertilizer for quick
growth and heavy returns.
Rich horse manure and urine from
grain-fed cattle is far superior to fer
tilizers and very much cheaper.
Truckers prefer rotted horse ma
nure for vegetables, as It is finer,
richer and can be spread easily.
A profitable crop cannot be grown
on land deficient In humus, which is
the same thing as rotted sod or rotted
manure with fertilizer alone.
The loss incurred from plant dis
eases is often underestimated by the
farmer, passes unrecognized or la re-'
garded as natural and inevitable.
The size of tile to be placed in a
drain will depend upon the length
of the drain, the depth and the dis

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA
"When a child, I suffered eight
years with eczema. I could not sleep
at night, and had sores all over my
chest. We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement of the Cutl
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me of
eczema. I also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, I was not worried at all, as
I knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and in back of the ears so that I
thought their ears would drop off. I
washed their heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean
as the driven snow. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment also cured my children
of ringworm. I would not be without
the Cuticura Remedies. They are
wonderful." (Signed) Mrs. Violet:
