the santed Calamity. he starts
off like this:
This remarkable woman was noted as a
deadshot and scout, who dressed and acted
as man. She associated and operated with
the most noted scouts and Indian fighters
during the early Indian wars of the west; nor
was she ever behind them in deeds OF daring
and danger, whether on the trail or IN camp.
Jane now lies beside wild Bill'' Hickock,
one OF the squarest and bravest of western
men, The two graves are historical and re-
quire constant protection from relic hunters.
Ask the honest pioneer what
lane was famous for and he will
tell you she was noted for the
amount of bad whiskey she could
get away with and for being SO low
and debased that she was fit COM
pany only for dogs. Her very
"noble escort, Wild Bill" was a
mounte bank, a "tinhorn" gam
bier, good for nothing lout whose
handsome person and cleverness at
numbering innocent people gained
him some dime novel notoriety.
These are the sort of scum
that are held up to our girls
and boys as being noble hearted
and heroic men and women whom
unavoidable circumstances com.
PEELED to adopt the lives they liv
ed. What rank falsehood! Wha
puerile and nauseating stuff!

DRAFT OF WAGONS.

A. ]. Sandern, in Sturgis Rec
ord: That the way a load is dis
tributed on wagon does affect the
draft no one doubts, but to what
extent is not fully known Be-
cause Of the disregard of the ques-
ton, however, in actual practice, it
is subject worthy of more expert
mentation.
From limited present data
make the following conclusions:
That if no other factors entering
the heaviest part of the load should
be put on the hind wheels because
they present more surface to the
Grabbed and hense will not cut in
as deep as the front wheels, if they
do cut in as deep, will not pull so
hard as the smaller front wheels;
also the front wheel firm the ground
and so make a better track for the
hind wheels to run in; also the inc
qualities in the road bed tend to
mako the tongue swing back and
forth which makes the front wheels
cut in deeper than the hind wheels
which are held rigidly in place by
the reach.
A very noticible way of increas-
ing the draft is to place the heavl-
est part of the load on one side of
the wagon or on one wheel. This
makes that side of the wagon cut
in deeper and as the load is title d
that way it makes still more weight
on the depressed side of the wagon.
This is especially noticible with
hauling hay and other high loads.
In one case an increase of ten per
cent on the draft was noted by this
method Of loading.
Another factor in the draft Of
wagons is the direction of the line
of draft. On smooth, unyieldins
surface the least draft is required
to move parallel to the road bed.
This is easily explained, for if the
line of draft is upward the force
will tend to raise the road bed, OF
if downward it will simply be pull
ing the load against the track and
this increases the draft.
In actual practice however, we
do not have a smooth and rigid
road, but the wheels are continu-
ally cutting the road bed, which
has the same effect as rolling up
an inclined plane. Therefore the
dra,,:: must be applied to this in
clined plane, or effective road bed,
as it is called, in order to get the
least draft.
The common practice Of having
the traces run backward and down
ward from the names is therefore
a good one. The reason that a
lead team cannot pull as much as
q wheel team is also explained by
the fact that they pull on Inc be-
low the effective draft line for the
road bed. The reach Of wagon
being higher at the hind axle than
the front one naturally increases
the draft Of the hind wheels,so that
Tor the conmon soft road the
prevalent opinion, thatthe heaviest
part Of the load should be on the
front wheels, is perhaps the correct
one. =-.,s5

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
How many people in South
Dakota realize the importance of
Agricultural college to the chief in
dustry of this state says the Argns-
Leader. How many realize that
this institution maintains an expert
ment station which has for years
been watching closely the condi-
tons of our climate and soil and
the adaptability of certain profit
bringing grains and other plants to
it? How many realize that the
college studies constantly the best
possible way to make the largest
possible profit out of the soil under
South Dakota conditions and
spends thousands of dollars annu-
ally in the interest of making farm
ing more and more profitable to
our people7
How many people know that
every winter, at the time when
farming is dull scores of farmers
and farmers boys attend this insti-
tuition. hear the lectures, see the
experiments, learn the improved
methods and thus fit themselves
to make their broad acres produce
more wealth for their labor2 And
how many farmers know that they
can attend these winter sessions
and learn ways which will be worth
thousands of dollars to them2
South Dakota is an agricultural
state. The eatire base of our pros
perity depends upon the amount of
product we can induce our prairies
to yield. A general Improvement
in farming methods, general in
crease in the yield per acre of the
staple products, the introduction of
new profit bringing plants and the
acclimatixation Of old ones, is a
matter which appeals to every sin
gle person living within the con-
fines Of our territory. And it is
.preciselyto bring about this inn
provement in method, this increase
in yield, this introduction Of more
profitable crops that the agricultur.
a colleg e is founded. That it has
been great success no one who is
familiar with its graduates can
doubt. That it would be still
greater success is equally beyond
question. And that the best way
TO make it a greater influence for
good in the community is to in
crease the attendance is quite as
clear.
South Dakota farmers ought to
take more interest in this institu-
ton. They ought to investigate
its equipment, its faculty, its actual
work. They oughtIto ponder the
question whether they cannot make
1t directly useful to themselves.
They ought to consider whether it
will not pay to send their boys and
girs 20 attend the winter sessions,
to pick up the most improved
methods, to study the experiments
with new crops and with the way
to increase old ones. The classes
are taught by men who have long
made practical study Of farming.

haustive examination Of the soils
and the varying climate Of South

to the experts of Europe. For a be-
ginning they were unquestionably good
ships, although possessing many faults
which were overcome in later con-
structions. At the time of the threat
ened war with Chile a dozen years ago,
the Chicago was the flagship of the
squadron sent to South America to
make demonstration. Her cruising
since then has been in the Atlantic
ocean and in European waters. She
has never yet visited the Pacific. In
stead of being obsolete, the Chicago is
now really a more efficient vessel than
she was when first placed in commits

underwent five years ago she was Civ

guns, nine six-pounders, two one

Furthermore, while her original speed
was less than seventeen knots, new
machinery and boilers now enable her
to make eighteen knots. She is COM
Portable vessel, and fitted up expressly

The flagship of the famous white
replace the cruiser New York at San
Francisco as the flagship of the Pacific
squadron. The Chicago is one of the
oldest of the modern warships of the
New Navy, having been launched in
1885. She recently returned from the
European station to New York, where
she will be refitted and sent to the Pa
cific, which will be her first visit in
this ocean.
The Chicago furnishes a strong an
swer to many people who carp at what
they term the brief lives of modern
men-of-war, the people who deprecate
the construction of naval ships, which,
they say, too soon become obsolete.
The Chicago was one of the first yes
sells built for the new navy, twenty
years ago. She, and the Boston, Allan
ia and Dolphin, were the first vessels,
built at John Roach's Yard, and the
last vessels of war constructed by that
eminent shipbuilder, who for many
shipbuilding Since her first commits
sion, in 1889. the Chicago has been in
almost continual service, some of it
quite trying, and has proved very
serviceable vessel, although she did not
take part in the Spanish-American war,
during which time she was being thor
oughly overhauled and refitted at the
New York Navy Yard. She is never
theless an interesting vessel with an
interesting history. Provided for by
Act of Congress of March 3rd. 1888, her
keel was laid December 29th of the
same year. She was launched Decem-
Der 5th, 1885. Upon her completion she
was made the flagship of Rear-Admiral
John G. Walker. in his famous White

PASSENGERS WILL
BE ASSISTED

Collector of Customs Stackable is
carrying out the procedure of baggage
inspection and requirements as to dec
Iaration and entry of property now in
vogue at the Port of New York. Mr..
Stackable went thoroughly into the
matter while at New York and was
given every opportunity to observe the
manner in which baggage was handled
there. When the steamer Cedric ar
rived, Mr.. Stackable saw the baggage
handled of 500 cabin passengers and
more than double that number of steer
age passengers and was struck by the
rapid manner in which it was accom-
plished.
This was largely due to the system in
vogue of the inspectors going aboard
the vessel and. assisting the passengers
in filing out the declarations for them,
giving each passenger a blank which
contained minute instructions as to just
what was meant by declaring their
baggage,
The system was observed to work
we'll while the Doric was in port. The
Collector sends an inspector aboard and
the whole matter was thoroughly ex-
planned to each passenger landing here.
The declaration is filled out as far as
possible, the values being given, and if
the passenger cannot remember all he
or she has, a note to that effect is made
on the declaration by the inspector, and
when the baggage is examined the re-
mainder of the articles are placed
thereon. Each declaration is number
ed and a card bearing the same num-
Der is presented to the passenger, bear
ing the name of the inspector who has
made UP the declaration. Thus the
passenger has complete information as
to who is examining his or her bag
gage. In the case of women travelling
alone they are looked after first.
The blank is as follows:
