HIGHMORE AND GROVER.

The Summit OF the Jim ana Missouri

ture.
Highmore, Dec. 10-From gentlemen
of all political complexions with whom
your correspondent has oonversed, o
general feeling of disappointment is ex-
pressed ut the failure of the president to
mention Dakota in his message, either
favorably or other wise. The people OF
Dakota feel sighted. For some years
quite an agitation has had healthy ex
lstence asking division and statehood,
aud from the stir created it was fair tc
suppose that the president had at least
taken cognizance of the existence oi
such territory. But he seems to need
a few lessons III American geography
and a careful reading of agricultural and
census statistics, and it is to be hoped
Dakotalans who may visit Washington
during the coming winter will take the
executive aside and point out this I'M
portant strip of land in the northwest
Now and then he has clouded dream
of such land and fires some hungry ap
plicant for office out here, probably hop
ing that the primitive state of things
and the scalp1ng capacity of the Indians
may end their earthly ambitions. Bu
beyond this he seems to ignore the ex
istence of Dakota. The people hac
some hopes of favorable consideration
They had right to expect ii. Dakot,
with its 100000 population, millions o
| acres of producing lands, without
peer in intelligence and promise, ant
| withal land to be proud of as a home
| is sDubbed. TO read of bills being
| introduced for the admission of Idaho
| and Washington territories is enough tt
make thoughtful men ponder over Da
| kota's insult. To think Of the cactu
and sage brush Idaho standing bette

enough to make the profane man Civ
extra stress to his views Of political du
| plicity. While it is well understood
| that the Idaho attempt especially is
bluff, Dakota can afford The trade
Idaho as a. state, will starye in tw
years.
| A further grievance is the failure Q
| the president to express an honest viey
about those barnacles of Indian reserva
tions that tie up whole counties tina
would otherwise rapidly settle. Tn
poor settler on the Winuebago and Gro,
Greek reservations is all at sea as far th
president seems to care. Tie fact is tn
chief executive of this great nation
wonderfully sparing with his sympath
toward Dakota. There may be day c

They feel insulted, ignored pnd il
treated. They bave now good reason
for bowling, and they should do it i

act. This is looked upon as another
dig at the democratic party.

st. Paul is considerable puffed up
because the president, in his message,
referred to their bridge across the Miss

the opportunity is not to be lost by Its

ing their attention to The bridge, though

appeared, a very commonplace affair.

LIME.
Hew Lime May BE Advantageously Burned
on the Farm.

Hsw Lime May BE AdvAntageously Burned
on the Farm.
The application of lime improves the
mechanical texture Of heavy soils, and
this will frequently compensate for its
use, if the lime can be obtained cheap
". In many localities the farmer can
burn the lime he needs. and thus obtain
it at much less cost than the market
price. 1t is not necessary to build kiln
of masonry. The cheapest kiln is made
by digging an excavationin bank. If
MUCK lime is to be burned it will pay
to line this excavation with brick, and
place an iron grating across near the
bottom, beneath which the lire is made.
Whether the kiln is so made, or is con-
structed in only temporary manner,
it must be banked up in front with
earth, after the limestone is placed in
it. Where the iron grating is used, it
should project out in front as far as the
bank of earth will permit. while under
it is placed a sheet-iron door, to close
the furnace and regulate the draft A
platform is built just above the projec-
ton of the grating. to support the
earth banked against the rock. The
top of the heap is covered with earth,
leaving a hole in the center for a
chimney. When the kiln is only
temporary, an arch Of large
rocks takes the place of the iron
grating, and the sides of the kiln are
lined las the rocks are laid in), with
large stones, intsead of brick. 1t Will
take four or five days, with good fire,
to burn the kiln sufficiently.
Lime may be burned by piling stones
in conical heap above ground. Large
stones are used to make an arch under
tie heap, and the cavity below the arch
is filled with fuel. Immediately above
the arch is placed layer of dry wood.
then a layer of stones; next a layer of
wood. and so on until the heap is COM
pleted. The stones are laid rather
loosely, snd the entire heap is covered
with earth to the depth of at least a
foot, to retain the heat, leaving an
opening at the top for the escape of
smoke. 1t will pay to insert a short,
sheet iron chimney in this opening, to
increase the draft, as hot FIRE is
needed. The draft is regulated by
opening and closing the doorway under
the arch. Do not disturb the heap un-
til !: is perfectly cool, and if the lime
IS not to be used at once, it should be
protected from rain Big aroof, and from
surface water by low bank about it.
Where limestone boulders cgl be gath
cred in sufficient quaa titles, the cost of
lime will be very little, andsven when
Ittne rock must be quarfitd, burning
flime will frequently yield handsome re-
hturns when the weather Goes not ad-
nit of regular farm 'wers.-AmericaH
