PRAIRIE WINDS ARE QUIETED.
Flour Mil In Dakota That Had to he
Abandoned Because OF LaeS
of Breenes.

The old windwheel -four mill at Hur-
lev has been torn down and the mate
rial of which IL was composed will be
converted into a more paying enter
prise, says a Yankton report. This
old mill and its failure to justify the
faith Of the parties who built it point
TO the fact Of one big change in the
conditions of this country during the
last 20 years. When settlers first be-
gan to arrive there the constant and
heavy winds which were a source OF
extreme annoyance to all, as also Of
positive loss as well, in grain blown
out of the grounds in the spring and
broken down in a more mature state,
was at the same time an inspiration
that fortune would go 10 the man or
men who could successfully utilize this
great power in the industries Of the
country.
Many attempts in this direction were
made, and covered the whole range Of
farm operations from a threshing ma
chine TO running the whole farm from
central station. None of these at
tempts was more successful than that
of milling, and many mills Of the wind
variety have run continuously for
years and made money. The atmos-
pheric conditions seem 10 have
changed, however, and mill after mill
lost money and was dismantled. I'm
less the old mill at Kampseka is still
standing, the Hurley mill was the last
in the state, and none has been able TO
run for many years.
