FARMING IN SULLY COUNTY
Some Things That Have Been Zone This
Year by a Successful sully County
Farmer

1t is an established fact that good di-
tversified farming pays, no matter where
| it is done, and it has been demonstrated
that the rule holds good in Sully county
as we'll as any where else in South Da
kota. To succeed crops must be put in
right and at the proper time, followed
by proper cultivation. N. T.. Anderson
of Rich Valley township is one of Sully
county's best farmers, as the results of
his crops this season, as in the past
show. He deyotes considerable of his
time to potato culture, and this year
planted 70 acres, from which he esti-
mates the yield at 5000 bushels of a
very fine quality We have sample
potato at this office that weighs one
ounce less than three pounds. OF his.
early variety, he sold $50 bushels in
Pierre at all average price Of $l.25 per,
bushel. From one acre of onions the
yield is 200 bushels, and from his cab
bage patch ne will house 60 tons. His
millet goes 48tons to the acre, while the
wheat, oats and speltz op the farm will
thresh not less than 5000 bushels. In
addition to the above he has an abun-
dance of corn fodder and hay up for
his stock. Gut OF 6 calf crop OF sixty
only two have died during the. season.
Mr.. Anderson also cultiyates large
irrigated garden in which all kinds of
choice vegetables are grown. Onida

ROMANCE IN VARIED GulsE.
Definition OF the Word IL Susceptible
of Wide Diversincation.

Definition OF the Word Ii Susceptible
of Wide Diversidcation.
What is romance? Even the COLO
quail use of the term is varied. When
we say you are romancing" or call
anything romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery. And in this applica-
ton we must distinguish between the
effect upon us Of that which we call
romantic because of human associa-
tions with certain sights or sounds and
that wildness of nature which we call
romantic because Of its absolute dis dis
sociation from anything human.
Keeping out OF mind the use Of the
word in artistic and literary criticism,
let US try to find what element Of
reconcilement there is in the diversities
Of colloquial usage.
In all that is generally called ro-
mantle in the cases above mentioned
there is the common element OF
.strangeness. We easily revert to what
must have been the original sense Of
the word in its connection with those
mediaval notifications of the Latin
tongue known as the romance Ian
guages. The Saxon or Celt would
have found his native tongue sufficient
for all ordinary needs, but IL he
caught the Roman air in any way, by
travel or refinement of taste and habit,
he would, to meet the newly developed
need, borrow the graces CT the Roman
speech-that is, he would romance

spearian objects. They were, however, to be
practically destroyed by the addition of sham
antique fronts. The other two cottages next to
that of Thomas Green were already nearly
levelled to the ground. Irreparable injury
threatened the cottage of Shakespeare's cousin,
which to be embedded in the free library.
She earnestly requested that a committee might
be formed to inquire into the case she put for
ward. She maintained that the cuIpable ig
norance and careIessness of the executive COM
mittee of the Shakespearian Trust proved that
the time had come when their national duty
should be taken up by wider. more educated
and more Sha<espearan body. An appeal to
Parliament for the preservation of Henley-st.
was being sent out for signature, and there was
every reason TO believe that it would be received
with favor.
The question to the demolition of these
houses has actually been brought up in the
House of Commons, and Mr.. BaIfour has for
mally stated that the government had no power
of Intervention in matters of taste, and that
they had no Minister to whom that department
of human activity assigned" Commenting
on this statement. The London Globe says:

foot to fourteen inches in thickness. The in
vestigator says in regard to these houses: The
comparatively modern frontage ought not to
condemn them considering how the difficulty
was overcome in regard to Shakespeare's house,
which had been altered and pulled about by
successive owners before it was purchased on
behalf of the nation"
Public opinion is set against this unhOly med
ding with Elzabethan relics, and many pro-
tests have been sent in to the town council. AS
to the quaint little half timbered dwelling of
proved 1868 date much concern is felt for 1t, as
the proposed design Miss Corelli declares, pro-
vides that it is to be actually swallowed up and
built into the modern brick and mortar of the

adds ARE all in order the leases and names of
its owners are extant and as it saw Shake
speare through it is so historically interesting
that it claims every right to stand alone and be
carefully supported so that it may be seen by
itself without any modern surroundings We
may take it that Mr.. Carnegie himself would be
one of the first to wish this. for he has, with the
utmost good nature. expressed his indifference
as to the site of the library, and he has also
said that he certainly never gave any instruc-
tions to interfere with any Shakespearan
relics He has trusted the local authorities
who, as is now proved. have not till per
