Missionary Money

The intermediate Epworth
League held social meeting at
the parsonage last Friday even
ing, when each member was to
make a missionary contribution
and was expected to relate how
the money was earned. The
band who pledged themselves
were known as the Kings
Heralds, and some $40 was the
total of the con tributions. Some
of the young people had unique
ways of making a dollar for the
cause. One of the girls gave
her dollar With poetry as follows:
A dollar, dollar, whole big dollar
Made up of cents, nickles and dimes,
1 earned it myself-I'm glad to say
And did it all in an honest way:
In folding papers and for errands run
To earn a dollar is no great fun:
But did it all with willing heart,
For SO good cause | must do my
part,

Fire!

The fire alarm awoke people
last Wednesday morning shortly
before three o'clock, when the
COW barn of e. w. Phelan was
discovered to be in a blaze. The
hose and hook and ladder trucks
were taken down to the fire but
the building was destroyed
before they arrived. The barn
was a small affair, it's value being
less than 500, but the family
COW, a very fine animal, was
burned to death. Mr.. Phelan
had just returned home on the
passenger train. which arrived
while the fire was burning, and
has no idea as to how a fire
could be started in the barn at
that time Of the night. 1t is
thought that hoboes were prob
ably making the barn a shelter
for the night and accidentally
started the fire.

A TIMELY SUBJECT
The Selection Of Seed Corn
for Next Years
Planting
BroOkings, S. D.. Oct. 7, 1903.

Brookings, S. D., Oct. Z, 1903.
Farmers who intend to raise crop
of corn next year will do we'll if they
select their seed now if they have not
already done SO. 1t requires, in aver
age planting, about one bushel to
every eight acres when checked and
when drilled tritie more, but it is a
good plan to put up little extra for
emergencies and it is always in de-
mand at a good price. This will be
especially true next spring as large
number of fields did not make corn
this year, and the newcomers should
be warned about planting seed from q
southern climate. In making the Sc
lection attention should be given to
save only ears which contain the most
corn. The kernels should be long and
evenly arranged on the cob. The ear
should be of medium length. well fill
ed at each end with corn and the
cob small. Why, because there is less
danger in feeding, there is more corn
to the bushel and it can be stored in
less space than when the cob is large.
The corn should be put in a dry,
warm place until thoroughly dried,
then shelled or preserved in the ear
and put in dry place until planting
shell the butts and tips off entirely as
it will insure more even stand. If
necessary these butts and tips can
be separated and planted with differ
ent sized planter plates.
AS this is sure to become a corn
state each farmer should make an
effort to improve the quality Of his
corn from year to year by selection.
Experience has demonstrated that
seed brought from the eastern and
southern states, in every case is not
always the best on account of the com-
paritively short growing season here.
But if every farmer will undertake TO
be his own corn improver, there is no
reason why in time early maturing
varieties will not be planted in every
part of the state, and instead of ship
ping our cattle out by the train load
this time of the year and causing a
glut of the markets we will feed
them here and supply these soils with
manure which will produce a large
crop of corn.

Forty years ago buffalo robes
were shipped in large quantities
from Mackinaw, Detroit, Mon
treal, Hudson Bay, St. Louis,
and other trading points. Per.
haps million of these robes in
the aggregate were skipped
east annually. In 1868, Inman,
Sheridan and Custer rode
continuously for three days
through one heard of buffalo
in the Arkansas region, and in
1869. trains on the Kansas
Pacific were held from nine in
the morning until six at night to
permit the passage of one herd
across the tracks. Army
officers relate that in 1862 a
herd that covered an area of 20
by 30 miles moved north from
the Arkansas to the Yellowstone.
Now there are not 1000 head O.
the American buffalo in the
United States. The passing of
the buffalo is to be regretted,
as the robes were a valued
article of commerce.

DR.. Robinson Skips Out with
"a Girl

Word has been received here
that DR.. VIM. E. Robinson, a
former resident and practicing
physician in this city, several
years ago, and who was twice
tried in the circuit court here
and had a narrow escape from
being sent to the penitentiary
for criminal practice, hasrecently
deserted his wife at Berrien
Springs, Mich, and eloped
with a young girl. He had been
for some time at Berrien Springs
and it is said had good practice
there. This last escapade of the
gay doctor is not a great sur
prise to his acquaintances in
this locality.

Horses Stolen

A very daring case of horse
stealing took place last Friday
evening. 0. W. Hoyt, who lives
several miles south of the city,
came into town on the evening
of the day named, and tied his
horses to the hitching post near
the Lammel corner. He left the
team for couple of hours, and
upon his return the horses and
buggy were gone. After local
inquiries and search had been
made and no traces of the horses
having been discovered, notices
were sent to other towns to be
on the lookout for the team
described. A farmer living near
MOntevideo went out to examine
some hay Stacks on his farm,
and found team of horses at
the stacks, and upon his approach
man ran away leaving the team.
The farmer suspected something
wrong and sent the team to
Montevideo, where the police
officers readily identified it from
the description sert from here
as the one taken from Milbank.
Word was sent to Mr.. Hoyt, who
went down to Montevideo and
recovered his horses. The thief
was undoubtedly one of the
numerous hoboes who have been
hanging around the town, and
who took this risky method of
getting out of the country.
