Special to the Globe.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 11.-Half
a dozen or more prominent chiefs from
Lower Brule agency were in the city
to-day to confer with some of our citi-
zens, and urge that a petition be sent to
the great father in Washington, asking
that his children may be allowed to To-
cate their tepees south of the White
river instead of north, as is intended by
the present Sioux bill. These Indians
have been casting longing glanceS
toward the land south OF the
White river for some time, and
this is where they will ultimately set
tie. This same question was raised dur
ing the conferences between these In
dians and the last Sioux commission,
and the Indians were then told that
they could locate wherever they
pleased, either below White river or
north of it, whichever they liked. They
will undoubtedly be told the same
thing by the commission this year.
They are willing that the whites should
have all the land north of White river
and west of the Missouri. and also all
that contained in the Crow Creek and
Winnebago reservations that is still to
be reserved for their use.

Roscoe, S. D.. May 11.-The unani-
nous verdict of all farmers in this
vicinity is that crops never looked bet
ter at this season of the year. The
drenching rains OF last Monday night
and Tuesday were just what was
needed. and the cool weather following
has given the grain chance to stool
well. The fires this spring have been
indeed disastrous, but with the hopeful
energy that has conquered so many
difficulties for Western people, we
are looking beyond to bountiful har
vest to repair cur losses. Such All
incident, as the following is encourag
ing for the residents of Dakota, and
tends to make them satisfied to remain
where they are, even if they do meet
with some discouragements. Two
brothers, living near this town, sold
their farms last fall for good price,
and left for Washington territory. They
took from here two car loads OF stock
and household goods, and considerable
money. Upon reaching Washington
they wrote to friends that there was
nothing to be found in that region to in
duce any one to leave Dakota, and they
next tried Montana, where they spent
the winter. This spring they
Travelled to Kansas, and again being dis
appointed in that state, and in Okla
homa, have returned to Central Da-
kota and rented farm for the season.
The experience of these men substan-
tiates the statements so often made,
that there is no better field for the busi-
ness of agriculture and stock raising
than Dakota, with all her alleged faults
and deficiencies. Like the youthful
orator, who did not wish to be viewed
with ''critic's eye," it should not be
forgotten that Dakota, too, is young,
and capable of vast improvement.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May ia
very brisk sale of real estate is now
taking place here and property. both
residence and business lots, is daily
changing hands. A gentleman from
Fort Atkinson, Wis, has purchased
from Jay Wellman a tract containing
twenty seven acres, for which he gave
$1,000. This land is situated on the edge
of the prairie, about one and one-half
miles south of the city. 1t is very
desirable property, as it over
looks the Missouri and affords
a grand view of American island and
the scenery along the river. A syndi-
cate last evening purchased track of
twenty acres, for which they gave sl5,-
coo. 1t is also south of the city. but is
nearer town than the above twenty
seven acres. Several new additions to
the city have been plated, and lots are
selling very rapidly. Residence build
ing has also commenced. and the erec-
tion of many fine buildings is now un-
der way. Chamberlain is now begin

has come, and without doubt, to stay.
] have seen at least dozen Kansas
farmers. who last year erected their
first silo, and each and every one has
expressed entire satisfaction with the
venture. During the coming year the
number of siIOs in this state will be
trebled; and, remember, this is in a
state where hay sells at 50 per ton. and
fat steer beef goes a-begging at "a
cents per pound.
sILO ADVANTAGES IN KANSAS.
The special advantages OF the silO in
Kansas may be briefly stated: (D This
state is peculiarly the home OF those
heat-loving, drouth-resisting plants,
Indian corn and the various species or
sorghum, and to make the most OF these
we must have the Slo. (2) These coarse
plants must be our chief reliance as nay
plants; the tame grasses will be much
to us, but never what they. are to
Illinois farmers. (3) Corn that has
been drouth-smitten or insect-damaged
may be ensilOed and the damage re-
duced to the minimum.
EIGHT ACRES FED FIFTY-SIX CATTLE
FOUR MONTHS.
Let me offer a few of the facts of our
own experience during the past winter
in feeding silage: We put up last year
ensilage from field of little over
eight acres of corn. This has carried
ON herd of fifty-six head from the 18th
of October to the 18th of February. ex-
actly four months, without the use of
any other fodder material whatever, ex-
cept light midday feed of corn fodder
in the yards. Can any of you show any
other way to carry so many cattle so
long time on the produce of the same
area of land?
SORGHUM AND SWEET ENSILAGE.
! am almost persuaded that sorghum
is better than any other variety of corn
for use in the silO. 1t gives a larger
yield per acre than corn, and i'm our ex-
perience the silage is greatly better than
that made from corn. The truth of DR..
Miles theory of sweet ensilage has
been abundantly demonstrated in our
experience. Silage made by the slow
filling process is sweeter and better than
that obtained by rapid filling; the chem
ist affirms Its superior qualities, as do
the men who do the feeding, and the
cattle who are the final arbiters.
HAYING A THING OF THE PAST.
We expect the coming year to double
the capacity of our silos, and we shall
fill them largely with sorghum, using
one of the medium-grOwing leafy sorts.
Having with us seems to he thing OF
the past; the silage will come easier
and cheaper 1--WE put up eighty-fve tons
the contents of our sllO-at a cost OF
exactly 62 cents per ton, taking the
grown corn and hauling it about fifty
rods to the silo); and we can by the
silo nearly or quite double the capacity
of the farm for cattle.
