Stock raising in South Dakota has in
creased to a remarkable extent the past
few years, stimulated by good prices and
the ease and cheapness of producing cat
tie.
The industry can properly be divided
into two classes, the exclusive cattle raiser
and the farmer who follows mixed farm
Ing, sending his milk to the creamery, and
raising his calves. In the former class are
the large cattlemen who have and are now
accommodating fortunes in the business.
They are side by side with the small own
er, and west of the Missouri river their
cattle mingle together until the annual
roundup, or the shipping season.
Losses are. exceedingly small and profits
good It Is from this section that the
choicest beef is produced without care or
feed, winter or summer except as nature
has provided. the cattle grazing all the
year on the famous buffalo grass. They
are taken, from this feed and placed on
the fat stock market in competition with
the cornfed article. Is 1T a wonder, with
SO little care and expense, that the bus1-
ness has Increased and is profitable?
But it Is the average man who Is en-
gagged in mixed farming who has a smaller
number OF cattle who secures the largest
amount Of profit on the amount invested
He has no more expense, his losses are
practically none, and with his milk, calves
and hogs his sources of Income are many,
and as he has increased his income he has
improved eIhis stock and made 1t more
valuable. All possible varieties are pro-
duced but the breeds having a conlb1na-
ton beef and milk strain are mostly in de-
'nand, and the constant Introduction Of
new thorough bred bulls of the finest
types has had the effect Of placing the
South Dakota herds above the average.
Corn for Finishing.
During the past the producers in the
north and eastern part Of the state sold
their stock to a large extent to Iowa feed
ers, who reaped a financial harvest. But
to-day corn is produced, and profitably
SO, in South Dakota, and there are many
fine feeding farms throughout the state.
Stock raising in reality is a leading in
dustry and the man with one cow is in
the business with the greatest possibtli-
ties and, with common COW sense, can ac-
cumulate a fortune.
The days Of sunshine, the nutritious
grasses abundance Of water, accessibility
to markets, make it an ideal place to pro-
duce stock. and it specially appeals to the
man of limited means, where he can make
his start and his small shipment brings
as high price pound as the large
dealer.
The high price of meat has become a
serious thing in all of the Industrial GEN.
tiers, and at the present rate Of increase
may soon become a problem which the
government will be called upon to solve.
Plainly stated, the fact is the meat pro-
ducing industry in the United States is
constantly declining, while the meat con-
Stunning capacity of the nation and the
foreign demand is constantly increasing.
If we have now about 20,0OO,0O0 more
meat eaters than we had ten or twelve
years ago and more than II, 900, 900 beef
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-09-04

cattle less, the force of this statement can
be readily appreciated by the intelligent
student Of economic conditions. Not only
in beef is the tremendous shrinkage sap-
parent. We have 100000 less hogs
than in 1889 and II, 200, 900 less sheep than
in 1888, the greatest sheep year in our his
tory. We have 100000 less sheep than
we had in 1869, when our population was
only 40 per cent Of what it is to-day.
In other words, we are consuming and
selling meat faster than we are producing
it, and the result is that. responding to
extraordinarily high prices, breeders are
selling not only the yearly increase of
their herds and f1ocks, but depicting their
breeding stocks as. we'll.
=. Changes Of a Year.
During the past year the general devel
opment has: been rapid and substatial.
Practical farmers have disposed Of high
priced farms and purchased lands in
South Dakota and invested in good i'm
provements, and to-day all over the state
substantial homes are being built, fine
bred cattle purchased and bred, and trees
cultivated, and in fact an almost entire
new appearance is given to the country
and these investments are on paying ba-
sis at once. In fact, every farmer is a
business man and his farming operations
are carried on largely the same as a bust
ness man conducts a Wel1-conducted and
systematic business. - !. 4. ...
In the towns and cities are being To-
Gated all kinds Of business Institutions,
retail and jobbing. Indeed, many Of the
leading cities are reaching into territory
of, other states with their wholesale
houses. The citizens appreciate the many
advantages location and opportunities Of
fer and are happy and contented, always
extending welcome to the new conner.
New houses, wide streets, beautiful
drives, and a general business bearing
that at once attracts and surprises the
newcomer, are characteristic of the
young and growing towns: -
Land Values Doubling.
During the past year land values, also
town property, have greatly advanced and
the investor finds he has been able to
realize to an appreciate extent on his
investment of year ago, but he is becom-
ing more cautious Of disposing of his
holdings for two reasons, First, the OPP
portunities to re-invest on the same basis
are not many. Second, almost all in
vestors who were fortunate enough to
purchase year ago have realized good
per cent on their investment, besides the
| increase in the value Of their land.

TRANSPORTATION %.
South Dakota Has 5000 Miles of
Well Constructed Track. .

One who contemplates removing to a
new western state for the purpose of
investing in lands and establishing. a
home should consider the accessibility OF
that new country to markets and the
means provided for the transportation of
live stock, grain and other farm prod
ucts. -
South Dakota is especially fortunate in
this respect, having approximately 5000
miles of we'll reconstructed and eXcellently-
equipped railroad, making easily accesst-
BILE to good markets a greater portion OF
it's vast area of agricultural and range
lands and providing a means of transpor-
tation enjoyed by few western states.

A GOOD MANAGER.

It was admitted that the woman was truly a remarkable one. She succeeded in living far better than would seem to be possible on her husbands income.
 But how does she do it?" asked the ignorant one.
 She's such Q good manager" an- swered the knowing one.
 Knows how to make a little go a long way, I suppose?"
 Well, not eXactsr that, but she knows how to make him provide prop erly for the family. You see, she spends the money he gives her for lux uries. SO he just has to provide the necessities in addition. There's always something needed, and she's always broke, so that forces him to scrape up some more cash. In that way they manage to live really well. Oh, she's a wonderful manager. Not one in d thousand could do as well on his in come as she has done"
 And the result?'
 "Oh, I believe something has been said about his being forced into bank ruptcy next week, but she has man. aged splendidly, don't you think. - Brooklyn Eagle.

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

At the Roosevelt hospital the other morning a poor woman came to the clinic. She was suffering greatly, so the doctor administered an emetic at once Then he sent her home, with the warning that her stomach was in bad condition and that she should diet.
 Later a little girl appeared at the nearest drug store, asking for some dye stuff.
 What color?" said the clerk.
 'I don't know" answered the child. But surely you must have some preference" said the obliging sales man.
 She only shook her head in response. Well, will you take blue?"
 "Yes, I guess SOL
 The clerk. determined to ferret out the cause of such unusual indifference asked:
 What are you going to use the dye for. little girl?'
 She answered. My mamma had a pain in her stomach, and the doctor al the big hospital said she should dye it. '"-New York Times.
