BUTTER THAT BRIToN USES.

Adulterated Article

Adulterated Article
In communication recently received
from the British board of agriculture
by Acting Secretary of Agriculture
Dabney, return is made of samples of
imported butter analyzed under the di-
rection of the board from May, 1898, to
February, 1896, inclusive. The total
number of samples so analysed was O05,
representing the products Of IL diff
ferent countries. The countries in
whose products adulterated specimens
were found are as follows: Belgium,
samples, adulterated; Denmark,
1S2 samples, 8 adulterated; Germany,
154 samples, 43 adulterated; Holland.
$50 samples, 66 adulterated; Norway
and Sweden, 100 samples, adulterated;
Russia, 40 samples, adulterated.
The countries contributing samples
among which no adulterated specimens
were found are: Argentina, samples;
Austria, 81 Canada, 80; France, 60;
New Zealand, 81; United States, 63.
In regard to the adulterated products
the noteworthy points are the tfe-
mendous proportion of specimens, over
"a per cent. from Germany; the large
proportion, numbering over 25 per cent,
contributed from Holland, and the fact
that Denmark, by far the largest con-
tributor of foreign butter products to
the British market, and enjoying
hitherto an almost irreproachable repu-
tation in the butter market, should
have contributed on total of 1872 spec
linens, s adulterated, or nearly per
cent. In regard to the other countries
the presence of the Argentina in the
English butter market, even though no
doubt to limited extent, is worthy Of
note.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

MEMORIES OF PATERNITY.
Emotions Which a Young Father Feels
When He Trundles the Baby.


When He Trundles the Baby.
1t is always little amusing to see
a young father fare forth with baby
his baby-in his arms for the first
time. 1t is no use for him to try to
appear unconscious to erybody that
it is his first appearance in public in
the role of q father.
His awkwardness is manifest, but his
pride is also in evidence, and the two
form a combination of which no young
father need to be ashamed. There are
some men and some women who arc
sentimental enough to have their hearts
quite touched by the very sight of
young couple overfowing with tender
ness and pride and solicitude over theil
first born. Those to whom this not
uncommon spectacle appeals are apt to
be middle-aged or elderly men and
women, whose own youth has long been
only memory. But if they have lived
honestly and truly it is pleasant mem
ory, and the sight of a young couple and
their first baby gives rise to some Of
the sweetest memories of their lives.
They recall the time when life was
all hopes and all harmonies to them, and
the coming of their first little one gave
them new hopes and sweeter harmonies.
The little one is man now, perhaps,
with children of his own, but you can
remember just how he looked in his
swaddling clothes, and just how you
felt when you first appeared in public
with him in your arms. You don't
talk much about it now, because you
don't want to be thought SILLY" or
"sentimental," but if you are the man
or the woman you ought to be you will
have taught your children that God can
give them no higher proof of His favor
than to give them little ones of their
own.-Detroit Free Press.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passag-
es. 1t corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. If you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists price fifty cents and one dollar.
For a sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail, mention The
Enterprise and send your full post
office address to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietors
of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of this offer.

Cattle Thieves.

Chamberlain, s. d.. Special.-Farm-
ers in various portions of the state
have been greatly annoyed during the
past few months by cattle thieves
who have become very bold. not hest
tating to enter pastures and drive Off
the choicest of the cattle, which are
sold to butchers in nearby towns.
The high prices paid for beef cattle
seems TO have increased the practice.
+. NJ. Rowley of Centerville the other
day purchased a fine beef animal, in
tending 10 butcher il the same evening.
While the family We're at supper the
animal disappeared. A search was i'm
mediately instituted, with the result
that it was found at a slaughter house
on the outskirts of town. The animal
had been killed and George Coffield
and Charles Seeker were trying to
haul the carcas into the building by
means of a windlass. Warrants were
sworn out for the arrest of the two
men, and o. +. Smith, whose tools
they were using and for whom they
were supposed to be working. AS the
result of the preliminary examination
Cotfield. in default of bonds, was
placed in Jail TO await the action of
the grand jury. He exonerated the
other parties. Soren Johnson and Lars
Nelson. living in the vicinity, have also
lost cattle from their pastures recent

up In short order, and there is a de-
mand for many more of the same
class of cattle. The high prices which

Coded LRnda Rich.

Pierre, $. d., Special. Effort has
been made for several years to show
that that portion of South Dakota
west OF b Missouri river is not fit for
agriculture, but can only be occupied
by stockmen. In reply to this farmers
on the west side of the river are turn
ing out immense crops this year. In
Lyman and Presho counties several
threshing machines are busy taking
care OF wheat, and other sections &c
the ceded lands are reporting Yields of
corn going as high as forty bushels to
the acre, and immense yields of pota-
toes. There are two classes which
wish to discourage farming in this Sec
ton of the state: Those who have
taken mp cattle ranges and stocked
them, and those in the eastern portion
OF the state who ear see nothing good
outside Of their immediate doorsteps.
Regardless Of the efforts of both ele-
ments that section is gaining in pop
ulation, and with any move whatever
looking TO better railroad facilities, il
viii soon contain as many settlers as
east of the river.

Even Cows Are scarce.

ranges this eason so close has robbed
the supply of mich cows and it is
impossible TO find cows of any sort on

from these ranges this season. Some
of the prices paid are astonishing. Ii
is expected that the price of milk will
go up TO 10 cents a quart before long.
Butter is scarce and high. The ranges
will be practically deserted this winter
and will be of great benefit to the

Rivers DRYING I'm.

Chamberlain, $. d.. Special. - The
drOuth for the last two months is be-
ginning to cause stockmen on coded
lands much inconvenience. Nearly
all water holes on side creeks have
dried up and cattle are forced to re-
main along the rivers, which are also
rapidly drying. Bad river, except for
an occasional wafer hole. is dry it's en-
tire length, and White river. above the
junction of Little White. is in the same
condition. In Bad river there are hun
dreds of beaver, which have increased
largely in numbers during the past
three years under the protection of the
state law that prohibits trapping or
killing them. The legislators that
passed the bill believed that the beav-
or dams would hold water throughout
the year, and, therefore, prove Of great
benefit to stock. But this fall many Of
the reservoirs have become mere beds
of mud and the entrances TO their
caches, which are usually under sew
eral feet of water, are now fully ex'
posed.

Question at city Mater.

Lead. s. D.. Special. The finest
stream of water in the Black Hills is
Spearfish creek, and both Deadwood
and Lead want part Of its water for
city purposes. At a joint meeting of
the water committees of the two cities
it was proposed to condemn 200 inches
Of the water from the creek and bring
it in pipes to the cities. Spearfish peo-
ple claim that water rights are held
amounting to 5000 inches, and that
there is not nearly enough water even
for the present needs. Deadwood and
Lead are much in need Of a new sup
ply of water. There is not enough
even for fire protection. and the quail
ity is questionable; but there will be
trouble if an attempt is made TO carry
out the present plans of the water
committees.
