The Chicago Produce, a leading trade
journal, published at Chicago, has the
following to say about South Dakota
dairy products:
1t is the leading opinion Of the re-
Ceivers of butter in this city that South
Dakota is destined to be one OF the lead
ing producers Of butter in the west.
Never in the history Of any state has
butter shown up SO nicely in body, grain
and all other requirements for keeping
as the butter coming from South Dako-
te. 1t is solid as wax, as a rule and
stands up well. There are 10Y in opera.
ton in South Dakota about 100 cream
cries. Chicago Produce has a record OF
81 that are now in operation. A few
years & there we're no creameries what
ever in the state. This is certainly a
marvellous showing. Climatic conditions
are splendid for the making Of good
butter in South Dakota. In fact, there
is no better water in the whole country
than comes from the wells Of this state

MI. I. Ten Bosch writes from Ro-
chelle Park, N. j., to Garden and For
est, saying:
Whenever I see a tree in the embrace
OF a poison ivy, I take my knife and cut
the vine. On the grounds of a few
friends and on my own l have cut vines
from ~ to2H inches thick, sometimes
at the root and sometimes as far up as I
could reach, and then tearing down the
stems have uprooted them with my
hands. l have done this at all seasons,
and when my hands were torn by black
berry thorns, but I never had a trace Of
poisoning. A friend to whom I men,
toned my immunity said, OF course
you are not poisoned, because you are
dark Since then I have been thinking
that in the cases Of poisoning which had
come to my knowledge the victims had
been light haired. A younger brother Of
mine, who is very fair, has been Sc

THE HEART IN OLD AGE.
4 Misconception That Causes Humanity

4 Misconception THAI Causes Humanity
Needless Anxiety.
A story told by DR.. G. w. Balfour in
his book ON 1.-THE Senile Heart well
deserves the double purpose of marking
the practical process which scientific
medicine has achieved within the past
80 years and of administering a much
needed word Of comfort and encourage
ment to those numerous workers who,
as age approaches, begin to feel uncom
Portable about the regions Of the heart.
MANY years ago." said DIR. Balfour,
"a gentleman Of n consulted me as to
severe fainting fits to which he was
liable. A distinguished consultant, since
dead, had told him that these attacks
were due to fatty degeneration Of the
heart and that treatment would be of
no avail. The hearts impulse was inn
perceptible, the sounds faint, but pure,
the arteries firm, but neither hard nor
tortuous. I told the patient that expert
ence had taught me that hearts supposed
to be fatty were often weak. y
The result Of treatment was a steady
improvement in health and in force Of
heart beat, and the patient lived to be
80 and did not die Of heart failure in
the end, but from senile asthenia." To
many people fatty heart" is a perfect
bugbear. But this is what DR.. Balfour
has to say about the diagnosis of the
disease: 1T is absolutely impossible to
diagnosticate fatty degeneration of the
heart.
eve may surmise its existence, but
we can only be certain Of it's presence
when we see it post mortem." If many
middle aged and old men could but
have this written deep upon the tablets
OF their consciousness, what loads would
be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors
Of small experience roll out a diagnosis
Of fatty heart with sonorous satisfac-
ton, ~unheeding that to many a trem-
bling father Of a family it is like the
sound of a deathknell. On the question
Of treatment DIR. Balfour is equally de-
cided. "We are often told," he a
THAT there is danger in treating a fatty
heart. y y Yet the result Of treat
ment in the case recorded was a cure,
proving that a heart supposed to be
fatty was only weak and that a life
supposed to be over only wanted the
FLIP Of a few minims Of digitalis to
carry it on to almost the extreme Of hui
man longevity" So, true is it, even in
scientific medicine, that a little experi%
ence and common sense outweigh many
shiploads Of mere abstract theorizing.-

DIAMOND THIEVES.
h Trick They Use to Circumvent tn.
Ever watchful Dealers.

y WV ~
Ever watchful Dealers.
A diamond dealer recently interview
ed gave some Of his experiences as fol-
lows: "A few weeks ago a foreigner
came into my store and desired to see
rings. After choosing for a long time he
picked out one valued at $18. He made
me a ridiculously low offer, which I
naturally refused. He her desired to
see two other rings-one a sapphire and
the other a diamond ring-exhibited in
the show window. While I reached into
the window for them I observed in the
mirror on n side Of the window how
the stranger slipped away two rings,
each worth $50. I did not turn around,
but went to the door, opened and then
locked it. If l had turned around, the
thief would have thrown pepper and
sand in my eyes and ran away with his
booty. A policeman was soon in the
place. The thief had the pepper and
sand ready for use in his hand.
Another time a thief dropped two
rings into his umbrella, and at another
time another slipped one into a hole in
his glove. A very common trick Of dia-
mond thieves is to ask to be shown loose
stones, which are thereupon handed to
him lying upon a waiter. He breathes
upon them, and thereby seeks to get one
or more into his mouth. Others study
the rings lying in the show window and
have n made exactly to pattern de-
scribed. The gold is good, but the jewel
is paste. They then come in twilight
into the store and seek to exchange their
imitation for the genuine. "-Jewelers'

Historic Elms Killed by Beeties.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July l9.-Park
Commissioner Kelly says the reason
why the city has taken no action to
prevent the destruction Of the historic
elms by the ravages of the beetles is
that there is no money left in the de-
partment with which to do anything.
The commissioner says that he has ex-
pended $lS already from his own
pocket in a vain fight against the bee
ties. There are several trees in the
green in Wooster square and in other
parks which are stripped of the foliage
and dying. The same is true Of trees
on Yale campus.

have a population of sci, 1872, 600, though
their area is not greater than that Of all
