Irv.n T. welch is another South Da-
kotan VINO left this state to seek wealth
elsewhere and who has come back to
renew farm work in South Dakota,
thoroughly convinced hat this state
offers advantages which cannot be
ence is interesting. He came to South
Dakota eight years ago and settled on
a farm in Lincoln county, Ave miles
south of Sioux Falls. All he had at
that time was leo acres Of land. He
remained two years and a half, raising
three crops and when he left sold his
farm and improvements for S., 200, sold
$500 worth of grain and cattle and took
with him besides the proceeds of these
sales, nine horses, seven cattle, 200
bushels of oats and considerable ma
chinery. He went to southeastern
Kansas where he farmed two years and
a half. As the result of mis- operations
in that state he left Kansas at the end
of two years and . half with a span of
mules and a few hundred dollars worth
OF farm machinery, all that was left of
his South Dakota earnings. He Dor
rowed $50 to help him out of the
try. He went Il Ohio where by dill
genee he saved enough to get him TO
South Dakota and put him in possession
of another South Dakota farm. He is
now here and says that he intends TO
stay as he knows of no agricultural
state where The returns are SO certain
and as large as they are in South Da-
kota- In justice to Mr.. Welch il shou ID
be added hat he did not leave for
Kansas with the idea of lettering his
condition but because his health re-
quire0 at that time D more moderate
climate.-Sioux Falls Ar gus Leader.
In order to determine if it is as
profitable to raise ducks as chickens,
considering that it took about twice
the amount of food TO grow them, an
enterprising Hammonton, n. j., poul-
tryman. p. II. Jacobs, made the follow
ing test:
At one one week old the duckling
weighed -four ounces, while the chick
only reached two ounces.
At 2 weeks old the duckling reached
nine ounces, and the chick got up TO
four ounces
At three weeks, duckling one pound;
chick, six and one quarter ounces.
At four weeks, duckling, one pound
and nine ounces; chick. ten ounces.
At five weeks, duckling. two pounds
and two ounces: chick, fourteen ounces.
At six weeks old, duckling, two
pounds and eleven ounces chick, one
pound and two and a half ounces.
At seven weeks old, duckling. three
pounds and five ounces; chick, one
pound and seven and a half ounces.
At eight weeks old, ouckling four
pounds; chick, one pound and twelve
ounces.
At nine weeks old. duckling. four
pounds and eight ounces; chick, two
pounds.

KILLED IN A SEWER.
A Cave-in Causes One Death and Sew
eral Injuries.

Milwaukee, Nov. 28-An accident
occurred yesterday morning at 8
o'clock at the new Thirtieth street
sewer tunnel, whereby one man lost
his life, another received severe
bruises and five others had narrow es-
capes. The dead laborer is John Per-
onskey, aged about 40 years. The in
Jured mans lame is Frank Schmidt,
or Nikolajorak. He is about 35 years
of age. He was conveyed to his home
in the west side patrol wagon. The
accident was due to cave-in of the
earth under which the men were
working.
Contractor CrilIey says that the
place where the men were at work
was 1G4 feet east of Thirty-fourth
street, on Cold Spring avenue. A por-
ton of the sewer is being built in an
open ditch, while at other places it is
underground. The accident occurred
at the mouth of the underground
sewer, which had been opened up for
a distance Of 16 feet. One of the tim
bers near the front suddenly broke
and this caused the earth OH top to-
fall down.

MORTCN'S REPORT.

The latest report Of the secretary of
agriculture begins with a review of
the work of the bureau of animal in
dustry. The total number of animals
inspected at the slaughter houses was
considerably over 100000. The cost
&c inspection was reduced TO II cents
per animal. In 1898 inspection cost
AZ cents per animal and in 1894 it
cost ~ cents. Much space is devoted
to discussing the opportunities for
American meat products in foreign
markets. Of 341, 900 tons of meat re-
ceived at the London central market in
1894, 1000 tons were American, while
nearly $4,000 tons came from Austria
liza. The American proportion has not
been maintained during 1895. The ex-
port of American horses to Great
Britain has increased steadily, having
more than doubled since 1894, amount
ing in the first eight months of 1895
to 22,755 head, valued at nearly S3,000,-
coo. American geldings averaged this
year in the English market S155. A
rigid inspection of horses for export
will be undertaken. The foreign trade
in dairy products is carefully reviewed.
In cheese, the United States, while a
large shipper to the British markets,
holds the conspicuously unfattering
place in the extreme rear as to quality
and price, and as the only one of the
competitors for this trade whose bust
ness shows a serious falling off.

HOME BRED PIGS.
Success Depends on Keeping Them
For Six Months.

With litter of 80 or So pounds of
1900 to 2,400 pounds at six or seven
months old, here is a problem for the
rich experience we have ever encoun-
tered, says James Cheeseman in
Hoard's Dairyman.
Our feeder must use scales at least
once week for the pigs. When a fort
night old it would be we'll to weigh
the SOW, and note change in her
weight from that time on, every week.
Linseed, bran, skim-milk, oats, barley,
meal and cut-clover may all be used
to advantage. If we are afraid of lin
seed and oats on the score of expense,
let it be remembered that it is a ire
mendous cost to make pork with the
lowest priced feeds of any kind after
six months old. The highest degree of
success will be scored while the SOW
is nursing her pigs. In compromising
the food for the SOW, after we have had
the right bulk and rich albuminoid
substances, we must keep in view two
other features. There must be min
eral matter enough, and proper proper
ton of fat. When we remember that
the aim of economic pork production
is to finish pig in six months we
must all see at a glance that the lin
seed, oats and a small portion Of corn
cob meal, will furnish a good deal of
fat.
A SOW will yield milk having about
five and one-half to six per cent. of fat
and over one per cent. of mineral mat
ter. The draft on her is simply enor-
nous.
The old rate of beef production can
not continue, and here in the east I
am pleased to note a growing demand
for porkers of a dressed weight which
may be produced by careful feeding
as from four to five months old This
market must increase. Roast pork will
be cheaper than roast chicken. 1t
must be pork, for the housewives will
lot try to roast lard, nor will they
make their own lard.

New York, Dec. I.-Scientists who
have a fancy for the study of criminoI-
ogy have had a new field opened to
them through the murder of the old
restaurant keeper, Krauer, by the
fourteen-year-old boy, Jacob Beres-
helm. Of late many books have ap-
peared on the psychology of woman in
crime and man in crime, but the
question of children in crime is sell
dom treated upon except from re-
formatory standpoint. Jacob Beres-
helm supplies fertile field for study
for in the years to come he will be re-
garded as criminal wonder.
For fourteen-year-old boy to en-
gage with a fullgrown man in a
death struggle is of itself cut of the
ordinary The average boy would have
quailed before such an encounter, but
Beresheim is hard type of the
vicious New York gamin. With a
Ratchet in one hand he kept cutting
away at his antagonist until the lat
ter stumbled and fell. Another blow
on the head to keep him quiet, and
the boy caught up knife with which
he almost severed the head from the
body.
Beresheim since his Incarceration
has shown no signs of remorse. He
has not enough intelligence to feel the
Prickings of conscience, possessing
only the animal instinct of self-pres-
ervation and the hunger for revenge.
What the fate of the boy Will be IS
conjectural. He is too young for the
death chair and too wicked for the
reformatory. Sing Sing prison with
it's hundreds of hardened convicts
seems the only place for him, but if
he is sent there a great howl will go

CRIBBING CORN.

The large corn crop this year and
the consequent low price with which
the season opens leads to a good deal
of talk about cribbing corn to hold it
over for a season of scarcity, after the
fashion of Joseph when prime minister
in Egypt. If all the projects for this
work of cribbing that are announced
materialiZe as facts there will be no
plethora of corn in the market be
fore the season is over. One promi-
nent commission man in Chicago de-
clares that he is going to crib from a
million and a half to two million of
bushels and that great many of mis-
customers are going in with him. They
propose to crib the corn and hold I'M
til a profit is made, no matter how
long it takes. In 1889 the corn crop in
theYcountry was Zip $4,000 bushels
and the average price the country over
was 2S.3 cents; in 1890 the crop was
only about two-thirds as much and the
average price was 50.6 cents. Corn
held from the crop of 1889 would have
paid very handsomely. In 1891 the
crop was again over the two billion
mark a little and corn that year was
burned in Kansas for fuel, but before
the crop year ended corn was selling
in Chicago for 81 cents. The average
price, taking the country over for the
corn crops from 1870 to 1879, inclusive,
was 426 cents; from 1880 to 1889, 1913
cents, and for the four years from 1890
to 1898, inclusive, 41.6 cents. On the
theory that what has happened will
happen again, there does not seem to
be much risk in outstanding the boun-
tiful crop of this year. and that is the
way that spectators seem to regard it
One immense syndicate is said to be
forming which proposes to put by corn
10 the extent of 100,000,000 bushels II
would not take many such syndicates
to make visible corn very scarce ar
ticle except at their figures. 1t is said
to cost between four and five cents &
bushel to carry corn for a year il
large quantities. While we are mo-
advising speculation, we do hope to see
every corn grower hold his corn as
far as he is able to do so against al
attempts to get it from him at less
than the cost of production in aver
age years. Because Providence has
given bountiful crop this year is NJ
reason why the grower should give il
away to spectators, who neither tot
nor spin, for less money than he car
proba bly, replace it for next year

caused an explosion of gas and was
knocked unconscious or he might have
reached the corridor. Four years
ago he made another saw and cut off
the leg of his iron bedstead and showed
back the bolt to his cell door. He must
have been in the corridor before he
was discovered. A drill and a saw
were found in his cell.
He is not ambitious to work, and
what he does is voluntary. He is
given rattan rockers to wind, but he
only does about six a week, where
other ''solitaries" in the same corridor
do forty.
Most of his time is spent in reading
and study. He can speak three Ian
guages and knows a great deal Of his
tory. He is very sensitive as to what
the newspapers say about him, though
he never is allowed to read them. His
mother tells him of it, and it is for her
sake that he cares. Really, he seems
very fond of her, and she is the one
person who has never wavered in her
devotion to him. His father is living,
but has never come to the prison. His
brother has not been there for several
years, but his mother, with true affec-
ton, comes every two months-as
often as the law allows-to visit him.
Shut in as he is he has a wonderful
knowledge of what is going on in the
prison His hearing is abnormally
acute.

CAUGHT ON TO THE OPERATOR.
Danger of Making Comments on the
Spelling in Message.

Several years ago a young man,
as night operator at small town, in
Illinois. The second night of his SER
vice a circus arrived in town, and
with it a great many farmers from the
surrounding country. H. went Oh duty
at Z o'clock in the evening. About an
hour later stranger came in to send
a telegram. AS soon as he had writ
ten and paid for the message the
operator sat down to the instrument
and proceeded to tick off the telegram,
which was brief, and read, not includ-
ing address and signature:
Have sean the party send NEE the
muney."
When the operator had nearly fin
ished sending the message the receiy-
ing operator telegraphed back: what
you givin' us?' referring to the spell
ing in the message. The rules of the
Western Union company prohibit any
conversation on the wire between
operators, but nevertheless this rule is
frequently broken. 1t is also strict
rule that messages shall also be sent
and words spelled as they are written,
even if, as is often the case, the words
are spelled wrongly.
But at the time H. took his job he
was as ignorant of these rules as an
Indian, so to the operators query as
to what he was "givin' him" he replied
thusly: Make it read Have seen the
party, send me the money"
That's more like it," said the re-
ceiving operator.
Il guess the bloke that wrote it
never saw the inside of a school," said
the sending brass FOUNDER.
The next moment he was chilled to
the marrow by the soft words that
waited over his shoulder.
Young fellow, that was cipher
message. | am a detective and also an
operator. I heard your remarks on
the wire and if you don't send that
message the way 1 wrote it I shall sue
your blamed company for $4,000. And
further if you don't take back and
apologize for the remarks you made
about my schooling I will pound your
head off" These words came from
the ''bloke'' that wrote the message.
1t is superiuous to add that the
apology was forthcoming and the tele-
gram sent again according to the
''bloke's'' rules for spelling-Boston
Post.
