IRWIN MARION ON PENNINGTON
COUNTY.

One of the principal wealth produc.
ing counties of the Black Hills, South
Dakota, is Pennington county, which
received its name in May 1877, in
honor Of John L. Pennington, then ter
rltorial governor of Dakota. The
western portion of the county extends
through the central part of the mineral
district to the Wyoming line and in
cludes many active and promising min
ing camps. Its mineral production is
probably more varied than any other
county in the Black Hills and includes,
aside from gold and silver, such min
erals as copper, lead, zinc, mica, spo-
dumene, tungsten, tripolite, columbite,
The table and valley lands of the
central and eastern portion of the
county contain soils of unusual pro-
ductiveness, and being protected from
severe winter storms by the mountains
of the west make it an ideal live stock
and agricultural section. This region,
however, being within what is called
the arid belt, U. S. government engi-
neers are now at work locating and
surveying reservoir sites and canals
with view to expanding a portion of
the national irrigation fund in reclaim
ing much of the waste land now laying
idle in this section.
Rapid City, the county seat, is stu
ated on the c. & N. w. railway on
Rapid river in the foot hills and is a
hustling city of 5000 inhabitants. Here
are located the state school of mines
and the 500 ton smelter of the Horse
shoe Mining company, the United
States land office and government
Indian school.

wood is another company doing some

Silver City is also an important min
eral district of the county, containing
many promising mines, the ores of
which are of a smelling character car
rying values in gold, silver and copper.
The lack of railroad facilities, how
ever, have delayed development of this
district which promises to become an
important one in the future

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

With Chamberlain's idea Of national
unity for Great Britaintand the colonies
even at the price Of tariff on food for
England's hungry millions, lit looks as If
Uncle Sam will have to do something to
keep the trade Of Canada.
A large minority, which might become
a majority, under the leadership of Mr..
Chamberlain, favor tariff on imports of
bread-stuffs into Great Britain, but to
give all such goods coming from the
British colonies reduction provided the
colonies will do likewise with English
goods. Such policy would of course
practically bar the United States out OF
both Great Britain and Canada, which
together form our best markets at the
present time. Canada alone is the fourth
best customer we have and the trade is
largely increasing. Whether we ever
will annex Canada may De IA question
which will be answered only in future
history, but that we will always want
Canada for a customer is certainty.
There is at the present time avery OUT
spoken sentiment among hitherto strong
tariff advocates that the position OF Can
ada should xempt her from tariff laws
and that reciprocity with her would mean
but little difference between that and the
tradesb between our own states.

etc. II the farmer would take the boy
into his confidence a little more, tell him
why this or that ought to be done, it
would awaken the boys interest in his
work and perhaps make him enough in
terested in the farm to stay on it when he
gets older.
But there is no branch of mans indus
try so open to Improvement and knowi-
edge as agriculture. There are secrets
which have been locked in the ground
over which man has been scratching with
his rude plows for six thousand years
that will mean great deal to the world
when known. The ordinary farmer has
little time and less inclination to seek for
these secrets. But il he is an educated
farmer. which means nothing more than
man who is used to studying out the
reasons of things. whose mind is discip-
lined to the working out the unknown
from the known. then he will be always
studying the secrets of nature, and will
find some Of them at least.
As between "book-farming" and farm
ing without books, it is probable that the
latter would be the most successful; but
a farmer who knows books and farming
too will be at an advantage over either.
Chemistry, botany, geology, physiol-
ogy and many others of the sciences are
necessary to any farmer, and there is no
farmer, however ignorant of books and
the printed page, but must have some
and does have some knowledge Of these
sciences before he becomes successful
farmer. The growth eff kernel OF wheat
from the ground to the new grain is sim
ply chemical change. But it remains a
fact that we probably don'r grow much
If any better crops Of wheat to-day than
were those which Joseph stored in the
granaries Of Egypt. And we don't know
any more abouk aaiaiiings wheat than did
those Egyptians.H There are hundred
things we do not know the reasons of in
every day farming, and if these were
answered, a thousand more questions
would crowd upon the answers of the
first.
Education along this line is doubtless
of the highest importance on the farm, in
the copmon schools twhere it is rarely
heard OF even in the purely rural schools)
and in the colleges. Not only is it inn
portant, but we believe there IS more
room for research in this direction than
in any other of mans avocations.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

The Fargo Call gives the Agricultural
College boost by assuming that be-
cause Of its particular agricultural bent
that 1t is the most important Of opF edu-
cational institutions. This is going rath.
er far, though we are very willing to give
the study Of agriculture all possible cred
it. When We give agriculture au equal
value in education we go much farther
than is usually given. though it really de-
serves that place.
Few, if any, OF the avocations of man
have advanced SO little in the history Of
the world as that Of tilling the soil. So
far man has advanced but very little be-
yond the first farmers of the Garden of
Eden, and what Improvement there has
been has mostly been done during the
last century and in fact the last fifty
years has seen more science applied to
farming than ever before.
Even these improvements have been
? rather from other sciences and arts than
from farming itself and are almost wholly
represented by the improved machinery
in use. instead Of different and improved
methods Of actual farming. II
