GOOD WINTER FOR STOCK.

Very Little Feed Aside From Range
Required i'm South. Dakota.
The Importance of the present fine
weather to stock men and farmers may
be Judged from the fact that r. NJ.
Joslin. who operates the Allison ranch
near Frederick and is caring for 1000
head of sheep and several hundred
head of cattle, has so far fed the latter
no hay and has fed the sheep not to
exceed 500 pounds of hay per day, with
an average of about a pint of bran and
wheat screenings per head. For days
alta time the sheep do not touch the
hay in the feeding racks, preferring
the standing grass on the prairies.
Another farmer, who is wintering a
herd of cattle for dealer at the rate
Of $3.50 per head for the season, SAYS
the cost SO far has been practically
nothing, and that if this fine weather
continues he will make profit of at
least IS per cent, even allowing for a
reasonable amount of stormy weather
in February and March. Jan. l3 the
government thermometer in Aberdeen
stood at So in the shade, and 35 was
the lowest point touched in the twenty
four hours. Sunday, Jan. IA, was al
most as warm.

The November statement of exports
of breadstuffs just issued by the treas
ury department. shows a larger guam
tity of corn exported in the eleven
months ending with November, 1899,
than in the corresponding months of
any preceding year, and at higher
rate per bushel than in any year since
1895. The total exports of corn in the
eleven months ending with November,
1899, were 1876. S32, $3.50 bushels, valued
at $74,742,127, while in the corre-
spending months of last year the 1885,
2S4,34O bushels exported only brought
SOS, 513, Hat, the average export price
in the eleven months of 1899 being 40
cents per bushel, against 81 cents in
1895. and 81 cents in the correspond
ing months Of 1897. That the growth
has been steady and rapid is shown
by comparison of the figures of 1898
and 1899 with those of 1893 and 1894.
In 1893, the exports of corn in the
eleven months ending with November
were 4s.602,183 bushels, and in 1894,
~ .91O, 232 bushels, the total for 1898
and 1899 being more than four times
as much as that Of 1893 and 1894. In
scornmeal the growth is equally rapid,
the exports during the eleven months
OF 1894 being 237, 095 barrels, while in
the eleven manths Of 1899, they have
been 1911 barrels.

Darlington residents are now con-
WINGED that Agent Sondral of that place
did not hire Ora Forsyth, youth of
seventeen, to set fire to the company's
elevator. At the preliminary examina-
ton Forsyth made some damaging adj
missions, and his story about being
hired was so far-fetched that he was
bound over to the district court in the
sum of $1,000. 1t is believed that the
lad, who has not the best character
set the fire for reasons of his own, and
concocted the story about Sondral to
clear himself.

Comfortable Railroad Constr uction
In the Black Hills.

Considerable R63lrO0O COhsSE ucuOAs
In the Black Hills.
There will be an unusually large
amount of railroad building in the
Black Hills this coming year. The
mining districts in both the nOrthern
and southern hills have been develop
ing SO rapidly in the past six months
that in some cases it is almost abso-
lutely necessary for railroads to be
Mlilt into them. The starting UP OF
the old Two Bear and Orc Elmo mines,
in the Strawberry mining district, by
the Golden Reward company, will I'M
doubleday mean road from Deadwood
to Galena. OF. at least, to the mines.
1t is expected that before the close
Of the season there will be q road into
the Suuaw creek district, either from
Grown Hill, along. the ridge, an extern
sion of the Elkhorn narrow gauge, or
up the gulch from Maurice station,
SPUR from the Burlington-Spearfi
route. A spur is also being contem-
plated by the Elkhorn up Blacktail
gulch from Gayville. The Hardins are
working upon their smelter proposition
with reported success. This means
large smelter on Redwater, twelve
miles north of Deadwood, which would
be reached by railroad from the Elk
horn main line.
The Burlington company is just fin
fishing up the road from Hill City to
keystone and it is expected that the
first train will be run over the twelve
mile lne the last day of January. The
same company is working all the men
it can get OH the road from Dumont to
the water station of the Homestead
company in Spearfish canyon. The ex-
pectations are that the Dakota Pacific
company will have it's road completed
from Rapid City to Mystic, on the
Burlington lien. by the list of April. A
number of other spurs and branches
are being talked of by both companies
and some of them are sure to be built.
There is a we'll founded rumor in
Deadwood that the Northwestern will
put on through train from that city
to Denver. by way of Grin Junction.
This will give direct route, bringing
the distance between the two points
nearer than from Deadwood to Lincoln

ALL EYES on BULLER.
Big Battle Is Probably Now
Raging. y

Raging.
London, Jan. 20.-Military critics in
connection With the war office con-
slider that the expected battle along
the wide arc. south and east of Lady
smith, can hardly be delayed beyond
to-day. From Durham it is reported
that fighting has already begun. Gen.
Buffers forces, engaged in the ank-
ing operations across the Tugela, are
some 10000 or $4,000 bayonets, 1000
horse and forty guns. The disposition
Of his other $4,000 or 10000 men is
not known. although the assumption is
that the whole army will be in action
when the hour for combined movement
arrives. Three weeks ago Gen. Butler
had 10000 men. Considerable rein
forcements have since reached him,
giving him probably $4,000 men and
eighty guns all told. Estimates Of
how many men and guns the Beers
have to oppose him are mere guess
work. In replying to Gen. Lyttleton's
shells they are using the tactics that
proved so successful in the battles Of
Masersfontein and Colenso-lying low
in their trenches and thus hoping to
conceal their position until tire infan-
try advance.
Cen Buffers warning as to the mis-
use Of the white flag by the Beers in
his proclamation is considered as a
rather broad hint to give no quarter.
His phrase that there will be no turn-
ing back is played upon by the morn
ing editorial writer's as presaging that
there will be cheerful news.
The Importance of the situation in
Natal makes other points in the thea
ter of war seem microscopic. Lord
Methuen is erecting works at Modder
River 1t is expected his force will
have to be nearly. if not quite. doubled
before he can relieve Kimberley. Brit
ish reinforcements are moving toward
Gen. French at Rensberg. With these
he is expected to advance, Gen. Cat
Eacre is at Lohrsberg, slight advance.
The war Office announces that next
week will be embarked seventy seven
guns, 3,71O men and 2,21O horses.

tillery ever sent abroad. The war Of
