The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1903-10-30

Twoof the horses stolen from Cham
berlain last week answering the des-
cription Of the Ochsner and Watson
horses were reported from Wakonda as
being abandoned at that place and
Sheriff Irish left yesterday morning
after them. The one belonging to E. J.
House has not been heard from.
Woonsocket Herald: The stock
holders of the creamery decided to
put in a new churn and resume churn-
ing instead OF selling the cream. We
learn that nochurn as been ordered
yet. About twenty late patrons Of
the Cold Storage companies have
again become patrons Of the creamery.
If you wantto see mad man, take
a stockmen on his way home from
Chicago after selling a nice bunch of
cattle for 2-12 to 3 cents a pound and
watch him in a dining car. When he
looks over the card and finds that it
costs him 70 cents for a small piece of
steak; $125 for alittle better cut and
81. 90 for a porter house-with potatoes
extra-the things he says wouldn't do
to print.
A new crosswalk has been put IN
at the crossing ear the artesian we'll
this week which will be appreciated
by all the residents down South Main
street. 1t has always been the worst
crossing for mud in the town-the
street to the west of it being higher
than the crossing. In putting in the
crossing it was necessary to bring the
sidewalk down to grade, another good
improvement.
G%annvalley Chief: VIM. Smith Of
Mitchell sent out $50 head Of fine year
ling ewes to his Buffalo county ranch
this week by w. A. Hoobler who has
charge OF the ranch. They were
brought from Montana in a flock Of
1000 which he bought there. Mr..
Hoobler now has over 1900 young ewes
on the ranch and is getting in shape to
demonstrate the proftableness of the
sheep industry here.
j. r. House is going to build a big
barn IN his farm south of Kimball.
He proposes to use cottonwood lumber
cut on American island opposite
Chamberlain. He says that, the lumber
costs him from SIG to $1S a thousand
and thinks it superior to pine. The
barn will be made wholly from this
lumber except the shingles. The
barn will be SIS feet square and is ex-
pected.to cover SO tons of.hay, 100 head
Of cattle and 10 horses.
The fine fall weather is common to
the whole country between the Rock
les and the Great Lakes-onlY the
eastern folks don't get the bright
sunny days with the mild tempera-
ture, as we do here in South Dakota.
The weather could not be improved
upon very well, and the farmers are
all busy taking advantage of it. Corn
~gathering is especially active-and
with a shortage of help. it is going
to take all the good weather in sight
to do the work.
Did you ever notice, when on a rail-
way train, how crazy a young'un is to
have a car window open-and the
further he a stick his head out the
happier he is-no matter what the
weather. We've actually seen mothers
hold them by the legs for fear they
would fall out and the wind whistling
through the kids hair enough to pull
it out by the roots. But, bless you,
we used to be the same way; and so
when we have to change seats to
avoid a draft that would kill a wooden
Indian cigar sign, we don't kick.
Not all Of the creameries are going
by the %board-not yet. Many of them
are holding their old-time business.
The White Lake creamery is doing as
we'll as ever-almost, while as much
may be said Of the Vega plant and
the n at Gannyalley. The last nam
ed paid out 1885 for September milk
and the Vega factory is making four
times as much butter as the Kimball
i plant wa when it closet last week.
Up in Kingsbury county, the big De-
; Smet plant is in a fiourishing condi-
ton and the Iroquois institution-t1e
pioneer creamery of the state-paid
out So, 500 for September milk.
Supt. Young of the Plankinton re-
form school is going to institute dairy
ing as a part OF the curriculum-or
may be it's to keep the boys busy.
: They will be that all right when they
milk forty or cows night and
: morning-until they dry them up.
, We are guessing that Supt. Young
will find it one of the hardest jobs he
ever notwithstanding the Youngsters
how to handle mich cows for a profit
but if he succeeds he will not only
