Eighty Cent wheat.

Watertown Public Openion.
DR.. Cormack, Who was called into
Clark county last week to look over
some afflicted stock, was seen by re-
porter Saturday evening where he was
stopping at the Arcade. The reporter
was anxious to learn whether anything
very serious was troubling the stock in
Clark county. The doctor assured his
interrogation that there was nothing to
cause alarm. He said the deaths in the
herd of cattle were the result of i'm
proper feeding. The doctor was also
called to see herd Of cattle near
Waverly, in this county, and he remark
ed that the same trouble was found there
that was discovered IL Clark county.
The cattle had been feu on one kind
of feed SO long, and that kind was SO dry
and they had to consume 50 much Of
it in order to secure sufficient nutriment,
that their digestive organs We're unequal
to the task. That is all that is troubling
the stock, said the doctor.
But what interested the reporter the
most was the doctors statement with
reference to the price which some OF
the Clark county people are disposing
OF their forty cent wheat. Dr. Cormack
dined with gentleman IN Clark county
on Thanksgiving. The gentleman was
q farmer. He was milking twenty to
thirty cows, and he declared that they
paid him we'll. He was not complain
ing of the hard times. The farmer in
question had. not raised q very large
quantity OF wheat, but that which he
had raised he was feeding to his hogs.
He had by actual test and experience
ascertained that by converting his forty
cent wheat into pork he was getting
eighty cents bushel for it. In other
words, bushel of wheat fed TO hog
would cause his hogshlp to put on
enough extra flesh and bone 10 make
that wheat. at the present price of pork,
worth eighty cents.
The doctor stated further that he
found scores Of farmers in Clark county
who had been gradually increasing their
herds tor the past few years. The part
OF the county which the doctor visited
might we'll be called stock country,
said he. More and more. with each
passing year, the farmers in that locality
arc working into stock, and they unite
in declaring that it pays
Mr.. Cormack, responding to a ques-
tion. said he knew OF no reason why Coz
ington county farmers could not make
stock-raising pay as well as the farmers
OF Clark county seem TO make It pay.
He believed that it is only question
Of time when the people OF South Dakota,

valley, will come to realize that there

THE Denver News deserves the thanks

The Denver News deserves the thanks
OF the best people OF the State for its
emphatic and hearty Endorsement Of the
new Excise Board in it's suppression OF
gambling In Denver. The Denver gamb-
lers have so long had the favor of the
city government that they have for sew
eral years practically run several depart
ments. Let the present righteous treat
ment of the gambling fraternity be made
continuous and Denver will be largely
redeemed, and an example set to other
cities which will do much to promote the
enforcement of the law against one Of the
worst vices of the day.

Judge Alvord's Court is Economical.

The Rocky Ford ENTERPRIsE of last
week does an injustice when it claims
that the expenses of the County Court are
excessive. The fact is, il the ENTERPRIsH
will take the trouble to ascertain, the
County Court, nnder Judge Alvord's ad-
ministration, has been more economically
menaged than for years. The law re-
quires jury to be drawn at a certain
time, from list furnished by the county
commissioners, and when 15 or 20 cases
are on the docket, it is impossible to say
how many of them will require jury I'M
til they are called in their order. It has
been Judge Alvord's practice to dismiss
the jury at the earliest moment, not keep
ing the members an hour longer than was
actually necessary to transact the bust
ness of the court, and any Juror who has
served in this court will verify our state
ment. Judge Alvord is credited with be-
ing rapid dispatcher of business, aim
ing at economy, and the ENTERPRIsE will
SO find it and accord Justice where Justice
is due-La Junta Watermelon.
