Brookings, S. 'It is a mistake to overload the pasture in spring since this will cause a feed shortage in July," suggests Prof. C. Larsen of the South Dakota State college. He says: "In July when there is a lack of rain, with hot and dry weather and the troublesome mosquitoes and flies.

the cows run down in milk and the young stock lose flesh. Their condition becomes worse toward fall if the pasture has been crowed beyond capacity. Such cows and young stock are then in a bad condition to gO into the winter, especially if they are wintered on hay, straw and corn fodder picked up in the held. Cows kept under such conditions cannot possibly produce milk and butter fat profitably, produce strong and healthy calves and rear young stock to be large. vigorous individuals." Professor Larsen warns against the temptation to put into the pasture in spring all the stock that the pasture will carry.

He states that even if "the right amount of stock is put into pasture in the spring it will usually overstock the pasture later on. It is better to understock the pasture a little during the spring so as to leave plenty of feed during the latter part of the pasture season than it is to fill it to spring capacity. case the pasture is overstockd land it becomes short of feed. plan to supplement with green feed of any kind. Green oats, green alfalfa COIR fodder may be fed daily in the pasture.

But to repeat again, better way still is not to overstock the pasture now." MEYER WINNER OF GUN SHOOT BREAKS NINETY-ONE OUT OF RUNDRED BLUE ROCKS.TOPPERWEINS GIVE GREAT EXHIBITION.

One of our shoe merchants inform-; ed us today that we can settle in our minds that for this fall shoes are g0- ing to be much higher. Some shoes are to advance the first of July a doltar pair. the scarcity of leather is the main reason. Before the war we wore buying nearly 70 per cent of our calf skins in Russia now' Russia has an agent in this country trying to buy 100,000 sides. We buy about 69 per cent of our kid skins in South America and all our Kangaroo skins in Australia and as these were all shipped via England in English transports.

At th time these transports have stopped and what few skins are coming our way direct from South America do not cut very much of a. figure with our big demand. Then most of the countries that are in war have large army contracts with the shoe factories in this country. Last December Italy contracted for 2,000,000 pairs of army shoes of nine inche tops. Russia, England, France and other countries are buyling our shoes as well as our harnesses and saddles which goes to make our leather scarce.

HOMESTEADERS GET PRIVILEGE CAN VILE ON ADDITIONAL QUARTER WITHIN TWENTY MILES BUT MUST LIVE ON OWN HOMESCAD Pierre, S. D. -The privilege of increasing homestead holdings from 160 to 320 acres, the additional ire to be selected anywhere within a redius of twenty miles from the original holding upon which the claimant resides, is the feature of the new 320-acre homestead act which has just passed. and which will give claimants many privileges they desire in the western part of the state. The new law materially modifies the old "additional entry act." Under the old law, a land owner might increase his holdings to 320 acres if the could secure land upon which to file, which adjoined his holdings.

The new law allows the selection anywhere within twenty miles of the original entry, but instead of giving the privilege to the land owner as under the old law. it limits such privilege to the actual resident upon the land originally filed upon.
