South Dakota Crops.
Mitchell Daily Republican.


Never in the history of the west were
the prospects for mammoth crop yield
more fattering than at the present time
in south Dakota From every county
comes the encouraging report that corn Is
far ahead of the average crops Of Iowa and
Illinois, which means that south Dakota,
as corn producing country. will have no
superior in the west. Wheat, oats, rye,
barley, fax, clover and timothy, all prom
ise an abundant yield. Many fields of
wheat will, with nothing to interfere with
the harvest, produce 40 bushels to the
acre. All other crops promise proportion
ately large. The prospects are now that
the sod corn Of south Dakota will be bet
ter than the average crop of the corn
producing states in the west. It's fixed
historical fact that south Dakota has nev-
er known an entire failure of crop. On
the contrary, the average yield per acre
tor the last eight years as recorded by
Rev. J. Morris has been equal to that of
the vely b@t mixed farming states in
the Union. There has been a question in
the minds of some as to growing timothy
and clover, but that doubt is now remov-
ed. Many have experimental with both
and find no difficulty in growing them

St. Paul Pioneer Press, 2O The an
nouncement that Gen Grant was dead
was shock to the whole nation yester-
nay. Immediately after the bulletin was
displayed in front Of the Pioneer Press
office the news spread like wildire and be-
came the absorbing topic of conversation
and speculation among the citizens of St.
Paul and Minneapolis. The excitement
showed to some extent the hold that
Grant still has on the people The origin
and reason of this reason is involved in
some obscurity, though there is no doubt
that it was connected with the telegraph
ers strike. One account is that it was
the signal announcing that the strike
would take place. This however, may be
doubted, as 4 regular order in proper form
was received at every Office just before the
strike.

The nominees for delegates to, the

The nominees for delegates to, the
constitutional convention to be
held at Sioux Falls, made on Saturday,
Messrs. Clifford, Boynton, Wheelock, Tay-
lor, Conklin, Rudolph and Sherman, are
gentlemen fully competent, and so well
known throughout the county that individ-
ual comment is unnecessary, and it is hop
ed that their merits will be appreciated
by full and hearty support of the electors
OF Lincoln county. The election occurring
at this busy season of the year will un-
doubtedly cause light vote, and we fur
ther apprehend that the people generally,
or those who are opposed to the measure,
or are luke warm in the matter, do not
thoroughly realize the Importance of this
step. The incoming congress, it is gener-
ally believed, will as party measure op-
pose our admission as state at least as
long as they can so do without endanger-
ing their own political heads, and division
upon the 10th parallel will meet with
earnest opposition, as they do not desire
to allow the increase ofrepresentation that
the addition oftwo new states would make.
With our population, growing wealth and
natural advantages for great and power
tul state, if the people here will assert
their rights, frame and adopt such con-
stitution as they are capable of doing, and
then present their demands ready for ad-
mission by congress. the popular and ire
sistable voice of the nation would force an
immediate recognition by that body. Let
all unite, regardless Of party. and give
their voice and vote in aid of this constitu-
tional convention.

IN, DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1883.
A Mule that Hates Irishmen.

Ex-Policeman Buckley, who is now
butcher in the market, sold mule to-
day which exhibits remarkable preju-
dice against Milesian. Mr.. Buckley
had occasion once to beat it for an al
legged serious offense, and the animal
has since manifested strange looseness
of its headquarters for Hibernian.
He will allow an aesthetic Englishman,
a burly German, hirsute Norwegian,
a musical Dutchman, verbose French
man or suaye Italian to approach and
utilize him, but when an Irishman goes
near him his aft part gets kind of loose,
his ears turn back, his eye grows wicked,
and there is mischief to play. He has a
wonderful faculty for distinguishing be-
tween the nationalities, and some think
that Mr.. Buckley trained him in that
line. He is wonderful mule, and one
characteristic about him is that while
he has no love for an Irishman, he alb
solutely and unqualiliedly hates a
negro, and except he is knocked on the
head may make some poor African a
subject for the Coroner. Savannah Re-
corder.

A Word to Chicken Hunters.

Brooklngs Press.
Chicken hunting is the best of sports
when it is honestly done, but there is moth
ing that calls for less science or sense than
the shooting of chickens the size ofquails.
There is no sport in shooting chickens un-
til they are able to make a good strong
flight. No man will contend that there
would be any fun in shooting into lot of
barn yard fowls. Another erroneous i'm
preston exists with many people and that
is that the chicken lives off grain. This
is entirely without foundation except in
the winter when there are no bugs Or
worms. We have seen the crops of hun
dreds cut open, which were shot in the
summer, and never yet saw a kernel OF
grain in one of them Their tavorite feed
is the grasshopper and short green worm,
and they live near the grain because this
food is found there in greater abundance
than in the grass To satisfy yourself of
this you have only to cut open the crops
OF the chickens you kill Let the chick
ems get ripe boys before you harvest them.
