Having spent some weeks outside and
beyond the artesian belt, l have had
ample opportunity to fairly weigh, and
think correctly estimate, the value that
attaches to this subterranean reservoir as
compared with those sections of the State
where it does not exist. l have also had
opportunity to talk with many farmers
who have lived in the Sioux Valley for the
past 10 or Is years, and have taken pains
to inquire infinitely regarding the crops
of that valley during that time, and Ibut
express my honest convictions as a result
of this comparison when I say that !
would rather take my chances on a farm
in the jim River valley during the next
ten years than in the valleyof the Sioux.
In other words, were l offered a deed to
a farm of like dimensions and conditions
in either valley, l should do violence to
my best judgment did I not choose the
one lying over the great artesian basin.
To farmers whom the hot winds have
robbed of half their crop the past two
years, this may seem an unwise choice,
but l want to say that while the counties
on u eastern borders have been credited
with good crops last year as well as those
preceding, 1t is fact that their crops
have been materially shortened by the
same hot winds and dry conditions that
have obtained here. While this is true,
the farmer of the Sioux Valley has little
to hope for in the way of improvement
except through a change of seasons and
a radical increase Of natural rainfall,
leaving the matter of successful agricul-
ture there a matter of great uncertainty.
Not so. however, with the fertile farms
that over-lie the great artesian basin in
the valley of the Jim. Natures bound
less reservoir which has only to be tapped
by the hand 0fman to gush forth in match
less fountain that shall tickle the dry
fields to their full capacity of production,
and fill our lakes and water ways, to be
given back to us again in plentiful
showers. This is 10 vague hope upon
which we rest our faith in the future Of a
land that has given us such /. rude
awakening the past two years, but abso-
Lutte certainty based upon facts that do
exist and depends for its fulfillmentonly
upon the degree and extent of that de-
yeiopment. 1t will require courage and
most resolute determination on the part
Of our farmers to overcome the obstacles
in their way of becoming the owners of
irrigated farms, and many of those who
have bravely fought for success thus far
may be unable to reach the goal, but
the end will amply repay any sacrifice to
those who persevere.-By F. C. Buten, in
Woonsocket News.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Put SAND In Eis wheat.

Alexandria Herald:-For some time
past the grain buyers at this market have
been bothered with sanded wheat. They
were dOcked ten dollars on everycar con
tanning the sanded wheat which had been
shipped. Suspicion pointed to John
Klctz, who liYesssjust south OF the..Hut-
trische Society in Hutchinson county,
and Tuesday when he brought in d load
A. H. Belts jumped on the wagon and
bought the wheat. Driving up to the
warehouse Klotz was told to dump it
apart from the other wheat. Some OF
the sacks were opened by j. f. Peckam,
buyer for S. NJ. Wiener and no sand was
found on top: but after the load of thirty
bushels had been emptied there was
plenty Of it. The test showed 10 per
cent. sand. Klotz disclaimed anyknowl-
edge of the sand, but said it might have
come from cleaning up around the thresh-
ing machine. When asked how it came
to be fine, white sand from the riyer-he
slid up town. He was paid in full FOR
his wheat and yesterday morning Sheriff
Wilson brought the culprit to town on 6
warrant from the district attorney. The
penalty in such ease is the penitentiary
and as Klotz has a large family to sup
port, and showed a disposition to settle
all damages, he was not appeared against.
He affected q settlement through District
Attorney Smith, paying in all about.SS $50.
Pretty dear river sand, Klotz tells the
following plausible (?) story Of how the
sand got in the wheat. His little girl
wanted sandy to scour the foo" and got a
key full at the river. This was set over
head in the granary, The mice chewed
ahole in the keg and the sand ran out and
into the wheat. This sounds pretty fishy
as Mr.. Belts has already taken over two
bushels of sand out of one load of wheat.

the Jack,

The absence of deep nows this winter
seems to have given coursing a decided
impetus. The weather, too, has been such
as to make the sport fascinating. Chas-
ing the fleet jack rabbit with the nimble
hounds is a weekly or semi-weekly event
in many portions Of the state. After a
jackrabbit has run away from the prairie
chicken dogs all through the fall he is
imbued with contempt for the running
qualities of all dog creation. 1t must be
a surprise to him to find a streak of
creased lightning coming after him in
the form of a greyhound with a speed
and bottom superior to his own, which
means certain capture and death unless
q hole is reached.

selecteu Farm Notes.

Don't "brea..-" the colt. Teach it.
The con you begin to teach the
colt the better.
The sheep is never a pauper. Neither
is q good COW.
A change of dict whets the appetite and
promotes digestion.
Without proper racks sheep waste as
much as they eat.
Snow is poor drink for sheep-as we'll
as for all other animals.
A good brood SOW is oae Of the most
profitable animals on the farm.
The only way of making stock raising
profitable is to breed to the best.
Simply keeping the life in the animal
was the old plan, but it is not a paying
one.
The first winter is the time that the
colt should have the greatest care and at
tention.
A calf belonging to a Sanborn county
farmer died and he threw it to the hogs.
Twenty-six Of the hogs died.
When oats are more than half as much
pei. bushel than bran is per hundred, it is
more profitable to sell the oats and buy
bran.
Stock sheep for breeding and wool are
worth more in tho Dakotas than in the
older states because the land is so much
cheaper.
Corn ground with the cob and mixed
with ground oats and bran is one Of the
best poultry feeds known for the produc-
ton of eggs.
An old dairyman thinks two ounces OF
sweet spirits of nitre administered i'm
mediately after calying is a sure prevent,
i've of milk fever.
Beginners with sheep should hasten
slowly, since a flock requires the peculiar
and ever vigilant care to be learned only
from actual experience.
CD. Hamlin, the noted horse raiser
mated his trotting stallion Membrinc
King with a couple Of Percheron mares
The result was as handsome q team OF
work horses as can be found.
Alex Campbell, Glenco, N. D., says he
has been handling sheep since 1883 and
has always found them profitable. His
loss has not exceeded 2 per cent. and his
increase has averaged IS per cent.
A Canadian puts half the milk drawn

The latter half is found, on being tested

fourths of the cream. The calves thus
have. he says. the advantage of being fed
with milk warm from the COWS; at thu
same time they are reared at moderate
cost, as their allowance Of milk does moi
contain much cream.

Take a colt at any time between the

A TRAINED SPIDER.
The Tricks of an Educated Tarantu
Owned by a Mexican Boy.

Tho Tricks of an Educated Tarantula
Owned by Mexican Boy.
A half-breed boy of Mexican and In
dian blood recently attracted much at
tention at Winslow, Ari., by the perform
ances of an educatad tarantula he owns.
He carries the big, formidable-look.
ing insect in large wooden box slung
about his neck, which, when exhibiting
his pet he places on the ground as q
sort of stage. At the command of it's
master the tarantula mounted small
ladder, rung bell and performed on a
miniature trapeze. Then, to the thump-
ing of a tamborine in the hands of the
boy, 1t proceeded to revolve slowly
about, as If waltzing, and when it had
finished saluted the crowd by lifting
one leg three times.
After the performance was over 1t
crawled to its masters shoulder, where
it sat, occasionally running around his
neck or down into his bosom. The boys
say he tanned the spider when it was
young, first by feeding it every day
until it grew accustomed to him, then
gradually taught it the tricks it knows.
He declares that it is much more intel
ligent than any dog, and very tractable,
though uncompromising in its enmity
to any one but himself. 1t is as large as
silver dollar when curled up, though
its legs are two or three inches long.
The body is an ugly dull brown, COW
cred with short course, black hair,
which also covers the limbs, but is very
sparse and bristly. The eyes are small
and CLEAN like diamond points, while
the mouth is furnished with slender,
overlapping fangs. The power of spring
in these creatures is said to be some
thing incredible, leap of ten feet be-
ing no tremendous exertion. The boy,
who owns the only one which has ever
made friends with any other living
creature, is from the Mogollon noun
tains, lying south of here six miles
