London, Dec. 2s.-The following dis
patch has been received from Lord
Kitchener, dated johannesburg:
General Rumble reports that on the
night Of December "a Colonel Fire
mans camp at ~Zeefontein, consisting
of three companies of yeomanry and
two guns, was successfully rushed by
a strong commando under DeWet. IT
is feared the casualties were very
heavy. Two regiments Of light horse
are pursuing the Beers"
o resistance has always been very
strong in that part OF the Orange River
colony which was the scene Of General
DeWet's coup. A great quadrangle Of
block houses is being built there, the
-four points OF which are Vereenignen,
VaIkrust, Hartysmith and Kroonstadt.
At the southeast orner of this quad
rangle Is a long open space from Beth
lehem TO Lindley, where the square Of
block houses Is still incomplete, ana
here DcWet made his attack. Colonel
Fireman's force probably amounted TO
400 men and the disaster, especially the
loss OF the guns, the possession Of
which may enable DeWct successfully
to attack the block houses, creates a
disturbing impression.

Year to the Farmers
Income.

From Sioux City Journal: Few people
realize the enormity of the dairy indus
try in the United States. Even the
dairyman, as a rule, does not realize
the magnitude of the industry in the
aggregate Of which his own dairy Is a
part. We might say that in round
numbers there are n billion dollars
invested in the dairy industry In the
United States. n the marketable
value Of the products therefrom VIII
amount to more than two million dol
lars for every day In the year. The to-
tai amount of the dairy products will
crowd the one billion dollar mark. This
sum represents more than four times
the annual production In the United
States OF gold, silver bullion, pig iron
and wool combined.
OF this enormous mount the terri
tory covered by the northern half Of
Iowa, the southern half OF Minnesota,
South Dakota east of the Missouri
river and the northeastern portion OF
Nebraska will produce more than four
times as much butter as the same area
anywhere in the world. one peculiar
ity OF the dairy industry is that 1t
seems to follow a certain belt. Begin

others skim reasonably clean but are

While there are many good makes,
the u. s. machine-a cut OF which APP

The machines also are always very
successful at the leading expositions,
as indicated by the following awards:
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1902-01-04

United States separators were award
ed the kings cup, which was the first
prize Of honor at G~ottensburg, Sweden,
In August, 1891; three medals with the
highest award at the worlds
fair in Chicago in 1898; a gold
medal with the highest award to any
separator at the Paris International
exposition in 1900; the highest award at
the Pan-American exposition at Buff
falo, 1901, as well as quite a lumber
OF other places.
Owing to the increased demand for
this popular machine in the west the
Vermont Farm Machine company, the
manufacturers of United States cream
separators, have established a distrib-
uting point at Sioux City, which will
be in charge of the Observation-Disclosures
Cream company.
This company distributed for them
a large number OF cars Of these ma

facturers' plant to its fullest capacity
to supply the demand for these ma
chimes the coming year.

Larger School Buildings Required.

Owing to the recent large influx OF
population into Western Canada 1t has
become absolutely necessary in many
parts Of Manitoba, A~ssinibOia, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta to increase the
school accommodation. In many places
buildings have been erected that are
only half occupied. This is perhaps as
good evidence AS will lie found MOI only
Of their satisfaction with their present
school system and their confidence that
It will remain as 1t Is, but also Of their
firm belief in the future expansion or
the country, in increased immigration,
and It further indicates that they have
little fear that the well-established
rate of births in civilized communities
will not be maintained there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great induce
ments, which are opening up the new
settlements. Agents of the government
Of Canada are actively at work in diff
ferent portions of the States for the
purpose of giving information to possi-
bic settlers, and advertisements are
now appearing in a large number of pa
pers, giving the names and locations
Of these agents.
