Our Rainfall and Climate.

A very mistaken impression pre-
walls in some localities as to the
climate of eastern South Dakota.
1t is supposed that the winters are
unusually severe and stormy. This
is not the case. A reference to
any physical geography, or other
map showing the isothermal lines
of mean temperature, will convince
the observer that the climate of
South Dakota is warmer instead
of colder than it is in the same
latitude further east. L. G. Dun
can, M. d., editor of the United
States Medical Investigator, says
upon this subject that the winters
are shorter in South Dakota than
in Wisconsin. He gives as some
of the reasons why the winters are
milder here than in the same iati-
tude further east, the following:
"The frosts in winter tend to
loosen the soil with it's atmos-
pheric air, which with the great
depths of humos, accounts to a
certain extent for the remarkable
porosity of South Dakota soil.
This land, with its deep, black
loan and gravelly, clayey sub-soil,
is not therefore as cold as lime
stone regions. This accounts for
the fact that it is colder in north
ern Iowa and Southern Wisconsin,
about GAINESVILLE, than in eastern
South Dakota.
"The many open flowing streams
also tend to raise and equalize the
temperature. = n = The winds and
their influences on this land is
worthy of study. 1t is well-known
that winds always blow up stream,
for the simple reason that, as the
lower strata that rests on the water
is carried downward, so the upper
current runs opposite. 1t will be
noticed that the large bulk of wa
ter in South Dakota flows almost
due south, SO that most of the
wind currents come from the
south. " y y In winter when all is
frozen, the temperature is in.
fuenced by the warm currents
which come up the Mississippi,
Missouri and Big Sioux river val
leys, and over the mountains from
the northwest" The air is dry in
winter, and the same degree of
cold is felt much less here than in
northern Illinois and southern Wis
consin. .-Flandreau Enterprise.

can Farmers Balance-Sheet for
1885," and on "Characteristics and
Possibilities of Middle Western
Literature"

The newspaper boys over the
state are making a good-sized roar
because the South Dakota soldiers
do not receive the same attention
that other troops do in the asso-
ciate press reports from Manila.
There is reason for this roar. One
might think that the 18th Mime
sofa regiment were the whole
"push' over there, Judging from
reports. The South Dakota boys
are modest lot of fellows, who at
tend to their duties and do not
care for sensational reports, but
straws show which way the wind
blows and we are inclined to think
that they are about the best in
points of discipline and military
tactics, of any troops on the is
land. They were detailed to guard
the chief officers headquarters,
they did splendid work during the
attack OF the insurgents, they were
placed at the front with picked
regiments and the largest number
of sharp shooters were selected
from the South Dakota volunteers.
In the final report from head
quarters we expect to see that
our boys got their just reward
even though anxious friends are
at present obliged to wait days
and weeks before they can hear
definitely regarding the result of a
battle or skirmish in which the
regiment was engaged.
