Such is Aberdeen. Her history is cas-

Northwest, immigration would pour in
as it never did before. The first hotel,
with walls of sod, and its neighboring
buildings with canvas sides, have passed
away. The early pioneer dropped a
deserving tear as he saw the old sod
house torn down; but the march of prog
ress was upon the "Hub" and primitive
buildings had to give way to modern
structures. The original city of tents
has become the present metropolis of
brick and stone business blocks, with
hundreds of superb residences and cot

MAKING BEEF.
The Conclusions of Experiments
at the Michigan Agricultural

The Conclusions of Experiments
at the Michigan Agricultural
College.
After a series of cattle-feeding ex-
periments conducted by Prof. johnson,
of the Michigan Agricultural college,
and extending over three years. he
draws the following conclusions:
FirSt-The experiments seem to indf-
cate that there is but little difference in
the cost per pound of raising steers of
the different breeds under the same con-
ditions. The superiority of the best
breeds rather lies in the early maturing
qualities, which enable the feeder to
turn them off, well ripened, at two in
stead of three years.
Second-That calves, when brought
up on the pail, when properly fed. will
make as much growth and be equally as
valuable for feeding as if they were
allowed to suckle their dams.
Third-That there is likely to be
wide margin of difference between the
judgments of the feeder, the butcher
and the consumer when they pass upon
the bullock in the live classes, in the
carcass competition as we'll as in the
testing of the edible qualities of the
meat.
Fourth-That prejudice, resulting
from lack of information. may be. too
often is, the basis of our estimates of
the comparative value of breeds.
Fifth-The early maturing breeds
may be kept until over-ripe, thus lessen
ing the value of the carcass for the con-
sumer.
Sixth-The person is very emphatic
ally taught that average native steers,
weighing from 1000 to 1900 pounds at
three years, or often much less,
Well bred steers weighing from 500 to
800 pounds more at the same age may
be. The value of good blood for beef
production cannot, then, be over esti-
mated. 1t only can, with good care
and skillful feeding. in these times and
with the present markets, bridge the
margin between loss and profit for the
grower and feeder.
Seventh-That the quality of beef
produced by combined grain ration,
in which wheat, bran, oats, and some
oil meal form the principal part, is pref
cradle to that produced by corn ration
exclusively. believe these animals
would have had much less percentage
Of meat valuable to butcher and con-
sumer if corn had entered largely into
their grain ration.
Eightll-The lesson is plainly taught
that early-maturing breeds may be sold
with most profit, perhaps, at one year,
if pushed from the start.
The cost per pound of production is
greatly increased each succeeding year.
Certainly under most favorable condi-
tions they should reach the limit of
profit at from twenty-four to thirty
months at latest. This may be modified
in ordinary feeding by the fact that the
yearling steer will need more expensive
food than older ones. The latter will
consume more rough fodder profitably
than the former.
Nlnth-That the largest per cent of
dressed to live weight does not always
indicate the best quality of meat, nor
the most profitable carcass for the con-
sumer. So that the commonly received
opinion, that the steer that shrinks least
in killing is the best for the butcher,
must be more or less modified by other
conditions.

THE ABERDEEN CLUB
should have been mentioned. 1t is an
organization composed of representative
business men. and is one of the most
potent factors in the Hub City's devel-
opment. The membership is limited to
fifty with $50 initiation fee and $40 an
nual dues. 1t is organized for business
and social purposes, and its zperma-
nency is already we'll assured. The

Next September the fifth annual fair
of the South Dakota State Fair assUcia-
ton will be held in Aberdeen. Over
$4,000 are being expended in fitting up
the grounds, and 5000 will be given
IN SPECIAL PREMIUMS.
The officers have every assurance
that the exhibition and attendance will
exceed all former years. There could
not have been wiser choice IN location
than Aberdeen. Its accessibility and
superb hotel accommodations are such
that the attendance will surely exceed
any of the former fairs.
Roughly and hurriedly has the fore
going sketch of Aberdeen been pre-
pared, and the half has not been told.
Page upon page could be written, and
even then the reader, when he came
and saw the prairie queen, would find
much that was not mentioned, and Of
which he little dreamed. The past has
brought progress and prosperity, the
present is more than was expected, and
all that could be desired, while the
future will bring with the unfolding
years growth and wealth, the magni-
tude of which the fondest dreams have
thus far failed to realize.

MICROBES IN A TRUNK.

TY NEARS--A MORAL

THEY INFECT TWO FAMILIES AFTER THIR.
TY YEARs-A MORAL.
Thirty-five years ago an opulent
family livei in one of our most beauti-
ful suburbs. Two lovely children
graced the happy household. But
scarlet fever closed their eyes in death.
The grief-stricken mother gathered up
little slips, slippers and toys with two
golden tresses, and reverently laid
them away in trunk as sad but price
less mementoes of her lost darlings.
War came with its tragic viossitudcs,
and death time aud again threw its
shadow over the hearthstone. Firally
the place passed into strangers hands.
Last year two families took it as a
summer residence. The children, six
in number, with childish curiosity, be-
gan to explore the secret recesses of
the grand old house. In closet was
found the forgotten trunk. A touch
dissolved the time corroded clasp, and
one by one the sacred relics were ie-
moved, until faded newspaper was
found, which told the pathetic story.
Halt-spelling out the meaning, th' y
took it to their mother, who ch,icd
their curiosity aud rderly repla ed
the treasures.
Five days after this occurrence two
of the children were seized with scarlet
fever, and forty eight hours after
wards the other four were attacked
Two cases were grave, the Others mild
All recovered. Was the disease cou-
tracted from the trunk' | think 80,
because there was no other ascertain.
able source of infection.
Moral: Silks, woolcn and hair, be
ing good fomi es, should not be PIT
away in air tight trunks as mementoes
offriends dying with infectious diseases,
because they may become, at some re-
mote period, the starting point of a
wide spreading and disastrous epidem.
ic, calamity which was averted in
this instance only by complete isols.

Now that rational ideas as to dress
have acquired definite place in pub
lie esteem, it may be imagined that
the practice of tight lacing and Gus

Of sudden death lately reported from
Birmingham proves that it is still too
early to indulge in such illusory ideas.
The deceased, a servant girl of exct-
able temperament, died suddenly in All
epieptoid fit, and the evidence given
before the coroner respecting her death
attributed the fatal issue to asphyxia,
due in great measure to the fact that
both neck aud waist we're unnaturally
CONSTRUCTED by her clothing, the former
by tight collar, the latter by belt
worn under the stays. We have here
certainly those very conditions which
would lead us to expect the worst
possible consequences from a con-
vulsive seizure.
There is no organ of the body whose
free movement is at such times more
important than the heart. Yet here
we fiud, on the one hand, its movement

corset aud the high heel still work
mischief on the bodies of the devoted
wearers. Taste and reason, indeed,
combine to deprecate their injurious
and vulgar bondage, and by no means
unsuccessfully. Still, the evil mau-
tains itself. Cases like that above
mentioned ought to, if they do not,
open the eyes of some self lf.worshippers
OF the other sex who heedlessly strive
by such means to excel in siskly
grace. We would strongly impress
on all of this class the fact that beauty
is impossible without health, and
would advise them, 10 the name of
taste as well as comfort, to avoid those
methods of contortion, one and all, by
which elegauc4 is only oar.catured, and
health may be painfully and per-
