"Honnewar,l I,ound."

DIR. Hancher delivered Il second lee
ture before the Philomathean society
last Saturday evening to large and
attentive audience. He resumed his
story of his continental trip with DIR.
Swickard two years ago, taking his
audience with him from Rome, the eX-
tremity of their excursion. and telling
of the sights and incidents of the re-
turn. The lecture was interesting in
description and humor and was de-
livered with the speakers usual force.
The piano solo by Prof. Boicourt
was appropriate in selection and rem
dered with rare skill. Miss Boicourt
is really a superior performer and
possesses a charming singing touch
In this one thing particularly the art
tist is distinguished from the amatuer
for no pedal device can equal the deli
cate touch of the human hand. She
is also an excellent reader of senti
ment and was heartily applauded.

Galena Road Ordered, Built.

The management of the Burlington
this week disposed of the proposition
to build a branch to Galena by ORDER
ing the line built as soon as possible.
The subject has been considered for
some time, the company hesitating un-
til it could be demonstrated that the
line would pay. The Times learns that
contracts will be let at once and be-
fore the middle of April operations
will be under headway. 1t will take
about two months to complete the
grade and by the first of July the
branch will be in operation.
The branch will be standard guage
and be built from Englewood, follow
ing down the divides into the Galena
district, which spurs to all important
mines of that and the Yellow creek
district. -Deadwood Times.

Edgernont Smelter Contract Let.


Contracts for grading and erection
of buildings for the Edgemont smelter
have been let, says the Deadwood
Times, and we are informed that A. v.
S. Saunders of Denver was the best
bidder and was awarded the contract
The grading to be farenough advanced
to permit work to be done on the build
ing in two weeks, when a large force of
masons and carpenters will be en-
ployed and the work pushed to COM
pletion with all possible speed. The
plans and specifications call for very
substantial buildings to be covered
with iron, rendering them practically
fire proof. The company expects to
let contracts for the machinery and
equipment for the plant within two
weeks. 1t is the intention of the pro-
moters to have the smelter completed
and ready to receive ores by July 1st,
this year.
We understand that rate of sc per
ton will be given by the company for
treating the siliceous ores of the
Northern Hills and that the B. Il NJ.
company will transport them for 50 per
ton. making quite saving in the cost
of treatment. On this basis, with an
extraction of not less than 95 per cent,
Il great many mine owners will be en-
abled to develop their properties upon
the product of ores taken out. 1t can
readily be seen that this would give an
impetus to mining that would make
this by far the liveliest and best min
ing country on earth.

SERMON ON FARMING.
Presiding Elder Clough Gives the Sta
Readers the Result of His study oft


Readers the Result of His Study oft.
| EDITOR STAR: I have been for years
studying the various methods of farm
ing in the sections of the country in
which have been stationed, and if, as
it has been said. man who causes
two blades of grass to grow where
there was only one before. is bene-
factor, | am anxious to not only bene.
fit the people spiritually, but financial
ly and to be that benefactor.
This is called the sub humid, or sub
arid belt, meaning that the supply of
rainfall is inadequate for successful
farming. This is true at sometime of
every section of the country, but is
more frequently true here. Can it not
he remedied? Isn't there water enough
to make q crop? Let us look ut IL few
facts.
Three tons of hay crop is counted IL
good yield a fine crop; l.SOO pounds
Of wheat is satisfactory. In this lati-
tude it requires three hundred tons of
water to make one ton of dry crop.
AS an inch of water will weigh lib tons
to the acre and eight inches of rainfall
is consumed by the crop total of 9O4
tons is required. All over this amount
is surplus. The problem therefore is,
how can we save up the nine hundred
tons of water per acre?
a fact not generally known is that
in the fall, winter and spring, plant
food is largely contained in the eight
inches of soil nearest the surface, the
top four inches being richest; and that
the roots of the growing plant feed in
properly prepared soil at from two in
ches to eight inches from the surface.
Therefore no blowing should be less
than eight inches deep by actual meas
urement.
In this region, especially that east of
the Hills, the subsoil is hard, pure
gumbo, which when wet, becomes
tough like sole leather and is about as
to water. Therefore the
the subsoil must be broken up by one
of those modern subsoilers. 1t should
be broken at least IA inches deep.
When once broken up the rainfall per-
culates through until it become as
saturated as the surface. To illustrate:
If we plow four inches deep the crop is
only four inches deep; if we plough
eight inches deep the crop is twice as
deep, and if fourteen inches deep we
have an artesian basin in miniature.
The farmer who subsoils IA inches
and plows s, is practically sure of
crop anywhere in Dakota and Nebras-
ka. The shallow plowerfails 1t is he
who has brought this country into ill
repute. Horses are cheap. Four
horses on subsoiler following com
mon plow hauled by three horses
means success. Get your subsoilers
at work. The next essential is to pack
the soil as firmly as possible. A Sioux
City sub soil packer is probably the
best implement; but pack the soil any
way and keep the surface loose. will
send you for the next weeks paper
Campbell's methods as printed by him
self in Soil Culture of Sioux City.
Plow deep, subsoil and pack the new
plowing; keep the top two inches
loose and raise Il crop.

Railroad Contractor from Minneapolis
f. L. Langan of Minneapolis the
we'll known railroad builder and pro-
moter, arrived yesterday, accompanied
by d. Bell of Lima, Ohio. Mr.. Langan
recently placed a promising copper
proposition in the Southern Hills with
a Lima syndicate that is represented
by Mr.. Bell, who is out here to look
after their purchase, Weare informed
that Mr.. Langan has made number of
large mining deals lately. During the
past decade Mr.. Langan has been
closely identified with railroad build
ing about st. Paul and Minneapolis
and is close to the throne of the Jim
Hill element He was an active pro-
moter of the Duluth, Pierre and Black
Hills railroad movement year ago.
He thinks such an enterprise will be
a good investment for capital and q
valuable acquisition to the Hills coun-
try. The project is evidently slum-
bering at present, but the road will
undoubtedly be built in the near fu-
ture.-Deadwood Times.
