our Friend t,,c ueu.

AT the state poultry show in Mitchell
last week over 500 BIRDS were exhibited,
and of such high grade were The fowls
that $50 was refused for a Plymouth
Rock cockerel. All Of which reminds
one of the great work Mrs. Hen and her
offspring are doing for this part of the
West-and with mighty little help or
encouragement.
A writer in the last issue Of Harper's
Weekly, in an article entitled the Short
Grass Country" tells of a little incident
which happened out in western Kansas
in the middle sos about the time when
the great exodus ftom the western half
of that state and Nebrasks was at its
hight, following the repeated failure of
crops. We know how it was in S. d. us
well, about that time. There was an
agricultural meeting one day, with con-
siderable discussion of the best method
of raising wheat and corn, the right
kind OF trees to plant, and the average
Oat yield. \ man in the back seat arose.
you are going at this country ali
wrong" he declared, amid the cranine of
necks, GOD put the buffalo and tile
prairie chicken on these plains, and He
meant it for Il lesson to us. What we
need out,here is the old COW and the hen;
without them we may as well quit
The Old COW and the hen have been the
saving OF the whole short grass county,
in Kansas, Nebraska, both tie Dak0tas
and the greater bart OF the entire north
west. But while thousands upon thou
sands OF dollars have been expended in
lettering the quality OF the horned
beasts but little attention has been paid
the hen. She has thriyed and multiplied
IN spite OF what the sage out in Kansas
said, not because of it. The meat and
egg production Of the average farm flock
Of poultry could be doubled by intelligent
application, such as is being in many
instances applied to stock raising. II
may be news 10 some people that the
production Of eggs and poultry in the
United States exceeds in value that OF
butter and is way beyond the entire out
put Of all the gold mines. The legisla-
ture might do a worse thing than appro-
pirate the $500 asked by the South
Dakota Poultry association to furthur
the work of that organization.

From the natural impulse to "put some.
thing on" q painful spot all applications
for the relief Of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul.
tees or plasters, and the best Of these Is
Benson's Porous Plaster.

power as . curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its Standard
Is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds.
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia.
kidney trouble, lame back, and other ali.
ments that make Winter a season of suffer
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Done accept Capsicum, Strengthening
OF %Belladonna plasters in place Of Benson's,
as they possess none OF its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlatiye merit
OF Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physic;a1is
and druggists Of this cot1stry have welared
thon worthyof public confidence.
In official comparisons with others. Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with

There ara seventy clerks OF all kinds

being performed ly these CLERKS With six
competent men working between the
hours OF 8 i'll tbs morning and 6 in the

clerk hire du!iug .ue session which
could be done for $500 Mt the rate the
work is now going forward. This fact
makes some OF the clerks in the state
house sore when The committees show a
disposition to- cut down or to refuse
clerk hire and needed Improvements in
the capitol building. The clerks Of
committees are the personal patronage
of the members and cannot be attacked.
The abuse grows more odiOus every year,
but changes Of administration do not
seem to affect il. There are some clerks
drawing high paw who cannot speak the
English language, so it can be under
stood, aud a good many of them are
woefallg incompetent. They are there
to pay Il debt contracted by some member
during the campaign and are allowed to
remain in spite OF the fact that every
body comments upon the matter with
cynical disgust.
