The conditions to be met has in
creased so steadily the success
of the results obtained that the
energy for tree planting, while
more conservative, does not
abate. The experimental station
of this state has done much in
furnishing needed information
along these lines, thus giving an
increased incentive for reclaim
ing the prairie lands by the
cultivation Of forests and fruits.
Here and there will be found a
farm well sheltered with hedges

farms and gardens that produce Il
harvest of home grown fruit.
Others can do the same if they go
at it in the right manner, and the
time is not far distant when every
homestead will have these beauti-
fpl surroundings. Among other
acknowledgements to tree plant

unscrupulOus tree dealers have

this state-practically no dairy
farms. When the early settlers
came out they expected to grow
rich from the wheat fields, but
wheat could not lead as had been
proven. There was no demand
for stock, and cattle sold so
cheap that a farmer could not
make that a profitable industry.
In fact farming had come to a
stand still, and a change was in
evitable. The creamery sprang
up and as the experiment was
such a success, that line Of in
dustry has been established until
today the state, and in fact every
community, is dotted with cream
cries and skim stations. Through
this industry, farming has been
revolutionized, and not only were
communities benefited, but each
individual farmer. Stock and
hog raising sprang up, and coars-

future for South Dakota, and the
man who buys land here now
will have a fortune if he holds it
long enough. The milk pail and

rapid rate.
CLIMATE.
A more glorious climate,than
that enjoyed by the people Of
Grant county cannot be found.
The crisp, invigorating air i'm.
parts an elastic vigor, and guar
antees health and happiness.
Storms comet is true, and lively
ones, too, when the winds blow
from the northwest, bringing
with it fine particles OF snow.
South Dakota then experiences
a taste of what the easterner
designates as a "blizzard," but
really they are rare.

was published in the Sioux Falls
Daily Press of May 18th, which
gives our views upon this sub
ject: Geo. T.. Williams, editor
and proprietor of the Ida County
Pioneer, of Ida Grove, Iowa, was
in our city a few hours yester-
day, but drove out to his 800
acre farm to look after the crop
ping and fencing for a day or two.
Mr.. Williams has just returned
from a week S visit in the coun-
ties of K~ingsbury, Brookings,

learn something about our city,
so we say it is once Of the prettiest
cities for its size in the state, and
is located in one Of the Wealthiest
counties ia South Dakota, and
has a population Of 1900 which is
rapidly increasing. The Chicago,
Milwaukee y st. Paul railroad
affords excellent shipping f,ciii
ties for communication with the
outer world. Milbank has never
been cursed by a ''Ooom,' but
from the time its first building
was erected. up to the present
day, its growth has been of IL
substantial and enduring nature.
The beautiful brick buildings Of
inedesigns, its public structures,
its handsome and stately resi-
dences with we'll kept lawns and
shade trees, all bespeak the
wealth, enterprise and public
spirit possessed by the people
who reside in Milbank. Every
acre of land surrounding is sus-
ceptible Of being conve ted into
a corn field, vegetable garden or
meadow. 1t is unsurpassed for
health or salubrity of climate.
With it's rapid growing business
and practically inexhaustibIe re
sources pouring ia continuous
streams into the channels of Mil
banks commerce for the next
decade, who shall attempt to pre-
scribe the limit to its prospective
Importance as q manufacturing
and shipping center At the
present writing there is not a
vacant building in the city, and if
some entorprising capitalist
would invest in more buildings
he would soon have permanent
and paying occupants. Milbank
has all those natural advantages
that go to make up a first elias,
city, and her citizens with but
few exceptions, are all energetic,
enterprising hustlers, who with
a determination to succeed, work
in unity for the good of the pub
lie as we'll as that Of self, being
materially aided by an untiring
and able press. Milbank is for
tunate in having but few "croak-
ers' and selfish men within her
limits. Her citizens are generous

to be in excellent condition, and
that everybody is feeling in good
spirits, and that the most san
guine of prophets predicts a very
fine crop season. Land buyers
from Iowa and Minnesota are
very numerous, and a large per
cent of them ire buying. The
hotels at any cross road or town
are all filed to their utmost ca
pacity every night with land
buyers and land agents. It is a
great sign Of prosperity and good
judgment on the part of the
farmers up there, to witness the
moving vehicles loaded with milk
driving to the towns every morn
ing, says Mr.. Williams. At Mil
bank one morning he counted
thirty-eight teams waiting their
turn at the creamery to be un-
loaded. He says that this is get
ting to be a greater creamery
country than it is around Elgin,
Illinois, from the fact that pas
ture, water and land are cheaper
up here than in Illinois, and the
great demand for milk and cream
In Chicago has compelled the
Illinois dairymap to abandon the
butter business and devote his
whole time to the milk ald cream
industry, and that this eastern
South Dakota country will soon
become the butter producing
center of the United States.
Nature, combined with conditions
and demand, are bringing these
conditions about. Mr.. Williams
says that even in eastern Iowa
and eastern Minnesota, the dairy
man is abandoning the creamery
for the milk and cream business
and shipping his cnurns farther
west. Milk can't be shipped to
the great markets from this
central west, while butter can be.
Mr.. Williams is 81 great travel

Judgment on such matters is
very sound, and he Informed We

Dakota is receiving more immi-
grafton OF a permanent nature

the same laudable ambition in
spiritual as in elucltional mat

Catholic, Congregational, Episco,

Advent creeds being represented
by creditable organizations,
and good sized congregations

the holy scripture expounded
aud pay their tribute to Almighty
God.
THE CATHOLIC ST. LAWRENCE
CHURCH
Which was established in 1882. is
one Of the oldest churches in the
county. Rev. Father Hermilino
was the first resident pastor.
The present priest in charge is
Rev. Father Wolfe, who is a native
of Germany, but came to the
United States in 1885. He re-
celved a classical course in his
native land and finished his
studies at Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania, and in 1890 was ordained
to the priesthood in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Father WOlfe's first
charge was al Hoven, South Da-
kota, and thence to Starr, and
later to Milbank, where he has
been for the past six years. The

tics recently sent out from the
agricultural bureau at Washing
ton, d.. c., that South Dakota
stands third best of any state ia
the union this year regarding
the condition of the crop per
area planted. 1t stands first
in the Mississippi valley this
season. Last year it stood fourth
and Iowa first. We do not be-
lieve that South Dakota will ever
experience the dry weather in
the future as it did in ninety
three and four, and we base our
opinion upon two reasons, one is
as a country becomes more thick

and other grain, and large groves
OF timber are set out here and
there, it prevents and cools the
hot winds that are sometimes
driven northward from the sand
hills IN the western portions of
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. The other reason is
from the fact that there are so
many artesian wells in this
country. 1t is estimated now
that there are 1900 of those ever
flowing artesian wells in South
Dakota east Of the Missouri
river, and the estimate amount
of water flowing from each well
is one hundred gallons per
minute, or II total of 5000, 900
gallons per hour, or 500, 500, 900
900 gallons per year. This flow
of water is almost incomprehen-
sible and one would naturally
think that it would irrigate the
entire state sufficient to pro
duce crops without a drop Of
rain. But these wells are
used for irrigation only in
gardens, and nov and then in a
field Of corn simply for an ex-
pertinent. Ia fact this country
does not need irrigation, for it
produces abundantly without
