SOUTH pAKorA,s srooK.

Last week the PRESS commented upon
the changed conditions of farming that
has been going on in Hand county the
past few years, and the indications of
rapid strides in the stock businesis. Now
comes the pleasant news that almost the
entire state has been undergoing the same
experience. The assessors returns Tor
1891 over the state show an increase OF
200, TAG sheep in one year cattle 39O,254 |;
horses 62, ,254-a total increase in one year
OF 662, ,254 head Of grass eating animals.
Therein alone is vast profit to the state,
to say nothing of the largest general crop
ever produced. However, We believe the
same rule will operate in the state as that
in Hand county, and that no actual pro-
fits have yet been realized on stock, but
that they will be in the next three years,
when the industry will have reached its
greatest heighth.

THE KELLEY CURE.

One of the remarkable things of this
age is the Keeiey cure for drinking aud
using tobacco. The method was discov.
cred by DR.. Keeley of Dwight Illinois
and consists in taking certain amount OF
medicine, and also bypodermic injections
in the arm. Hundreds of people, ricl
and poor high and low. have already been
cured, and the work is but Just begun
Institutions for this purpose are now be-
ing established in many states. In regard
to this cure for the tobacco habit the
Sioux City Journal says:
THE Keeley cure for the tobacco habit
is getting popular among the local smok.
ers. The medicine is furnished by DIR.

pie, the only expense is for the Medicine.
and the only trouble is to give IL enough
attention to take the doses at the pre-
scribed intervals. ID. p. Cheney and q
+. Wheelock are among the number WHO
have tried the remedy and both are about
cured of their desire to smoke. Mr.
Wheelock was found walking down street
yesterday enjoying a "dry smoke He
said he chewed q cigar rather because the
directions with the cure recommended il
than because he liked it. 1T don't taste
pleasant, but rather like medicine. As to
smoking, / don't care for it at al. 1t has
lost all charms for me" he sa'd. Il have
not finished one of the two bottles Of the
cure which are furnished, and expect TO
be thoroughly cured. 1t takes all Of the
nicotine out of the system aud leaves one
in the condition he was before he began
smoking. Every cigar tastes like the first
one, and that isn't at all pleasant"

$40 land here brings from $40 to $40 an
acre on one crop, how much ought the
$50 land back east produce. Thatll
crimp 'em, because the land back east
which costs Ave and ten times as much
as ours, will never produce that much
more crop. For instance, you can farm
100 acres here as easily as so in the states.
Your one hundred here costs $500, your
fifty there costs 80 500. Fifty bushels
corn on fifty acres would be 25O0 bushels,
at 40 cents, total of $1,000, on land
costing 81, 500. One hundred acres OF
wheat here at only l3 bushels to the acre,
below this years average, bringing 81
cents. a total OF Sl040, on land costing
$500. Now just figure on 20 bushel to the
acre, and your see the states amt in 1t.

Redfeld Observer:-It is a common
practice with the public to criticize sharp
~ the newspaper for making misstate-

OF the news, just what men tell them, and
1t is moral impossibility for nine out of

Some may tell it as it seemed to them,
but what one man will swear to as the
truth the next man will characterize as
lie. Therefore, be charitable with the
newspaper publisher. 1t is an absolute
impossibilIty to secure a substantia.ion OF
