South Dakota Advertised.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
railway company is having circulated a
nicely printed pamphlet setting forth the
manifold attractions of this state. The
title page bears the picture of blooming
South Dakota maiden just entering the
barn to gather eggs, while on the diverse
side of the cover is this legend: THE
thifty housewives of South Dakota in 1902
sold poultry and eggs TO the value of
$4,000, in addition to having their own
tables well supplied with chickens and

The Barn and Contents
ofOtto YankeeStruck
and Burned Mon
day.
The Barn of Rudolph Ludke
Meets a Similar Fate.
Alfred Erdman,s House Struck
But no Damage Done.
ssAn Ounce OPP Protection Worth
A Pound of Cure.o

During the storm Monday lightning
struck the barn of Otto Yankee, who
lives on the Jacob Zimmerman farm
between Butler and Bristol, three miles
north Of the former place, set fire TO the
structure, aud as high wind prevailed
during the storm the building and con-
tents were destroyed, eight head of
horses, colt, 300 bushels of oats. eight
set of harness, hay and machinery con-
stituted the loss, which is total, as there
was 70 insurance. 1t is severe blow
to Mr. Yankee and he has tie sympathy
of the community in his loss.
The barn of Rudolph Leitke, of Nor
ton township was also struck, set on fire
and burned TO the ground.
The residence OF Rudolph Erdman, of
Racine township. was also struck, but
it was protected by lightning conductors
and no damage was done, bu. in speak
ing of the affair Mr. Erdman said, that
for several seconds after the bolts struck
there was great electric display, balls
of fire were rolling around the yard in
all directions and he thought everything
was ON fire, but upon examination found
no harm had been done. He says he
would not take 81 600 for his lightning
rods, as he firmly believes they saved
him much more than that amount in
this one instance besides giving him the
satisfaction of feeling secure from light
ming mt all times. Mr.. Erdman sent for
Col. T. III. Russell the veteran lightning
rod man, who by the way put mp the
lightning conductors on his present resi-
dence which as the sequel proved is a
sure guarantee they are the best quality
and put mp right TO come and put
lightning conductors ON his new house
and barn. And, dear reader, yon had
better follow Mr. Erdman's example
and have your buildings rodded. Why

The price paid for butter during the
last twelve months has been unusually
high. Dairying is still very profitable
business. Years ago a cry was raised
that dairying would be orerdone. Now,
instead of being oyerdone. it is rather
being underdone. Were it not so, the
prices of butter would not be so excep-
tionally dear. This means that dairy
cows are still very good property and
should be bred and multiplied to Tar
greater extent than they are being
increased at the present time.
