The Most and Best.

These experiments demonstrate two
important truths: First, that a bar
rel of South Dakota wheat -four will
make more bread than the same guam
tity Of wheat raised in any other state
Of territory in the union; second, that
bread made from South Dakota -four
contains more gluten and other OF the
materials which nourish and build up
the human body than bread made
from -four of any other kind.
Other experiments prove that South
Dakota -four made from No. 1 hard
wheat, cured naturally. contains 3 per
cent less moisture than California
-four made from wheat dried in kilns,
and will make practically more bread.
AS compared with common grades of
Eastern -four, the difference in bread
producing qualities amounts to no
less than fifteen pounds of bread in
every hundred pounds of -four in favor
of the South Dakota product

No Lack of Fruit.

Up to within few years the aver
age South Dakota farmer looked upon
fruit culture as very uncertain and
improbable understanding, but has
now turned his attention in this direc-
ton, and now, from all parts of the
state come encouraging reports show
ing that the cultivation and care Of
the orchard is becoming a prominent
factor in diversified farming.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that South Dakota can easily raise,
both for home use and FOR export, an
abundance of apples, plums, cherries,
grapes, pears, peaches, apricots,
gooseberries, currants, strawberries
and other small fruits.

lance Of the Monroe Doctrine.
fBy the Associated Press.

Berlin, Jan. 4.-Herr Won Pilgrim
Baltazzi, the German Charge D'Affaires
at Caracas, handed President Castro a
fresh note on Thursday, reciting in sim
pie language what Germany desires
Venezuela to do respecting all her claims
and the questions in dispute. An Off
cial Of the Foreign Office has informed
the correspondent Of the Associated Press
that the new note is so phrased that no
possible offence can be taken. 1t con-
tains no suggestion Of an ultimatum, and
no time limit for compliance with the
terms of the note is named. though in
presenting it the charge D'Affaires ask-
ed for an early reply. The object of
the note is to afford President Castro an
opportunity Of yielding gracefully, and
it conveys no intimation of what Ger
many will do if Venezuela refuses to pa
the German claims.
