KINGSBURY COUNTY
The Home Of the Creamery and. at
the Fore in All Material .
yelopment.
Progressive Towns Backed by Re
sources, Natural and Developed, 4
. Which Are Unsurpassed.

+ Kingsbury is one of the solid >countiea
of the great prairie west. Tt lies in east
central South Dakota and is traversed from
east to west by a main line Of the North
Western railway. system. At Iroquois a
line of, the same road to Sioux City,, Iowa,
forms a junction with the main line. The
railway towns are without exception good
trading points v.and@ are improving each
year. Those which have not all the advan-
tages Of municipal life are acquiring them
| from time to time. Many of them havo
Iwaterworks, electric lights, etc. In. en-
terprise and accomplishment they are
ahead of towns Of like size in the east. !,
kingsbury is called the cream county
because it's people have been pioneers in
presenting object lessons to the state at
large of the value and Importance of the
dairy industry. This was a noteworthy
beginning of a Investigation of interests
and through it the people of Kingsbury
are becoming rich and have shown the
way to prosperity to many thousands OF
others. KingSbury saw some hard times
along in it's early settlement when, In
common with a large part of the west, il
was a one-crop country. This is al
changed now. Kingsbury grows all the
cereals and corn is staple with it. The
stock interests are immense and the da1
ny is fast becoming eminent. 1t is
in fact, an all-around county, and it's farms
are at the very top of the list.
Probably the best known creamery II
the state, from the; fact that it has al
ways been a success and is a sort of, par
ent institution, is the creamery station a
DeSmet, the prosperous seat of the coun
|ty., One of the founders of this creamery
was c.. p. Sherwood the present dair!
and food commissioner Of the state. Thi
institution has generally set the pace TO
all others and it's product has always com
manded the highest market prices. TIL

acted by this creamery during 1902: g.

1t is no eNaggeration to say that this
region is one of the best in natural pro-

great west 1t is a good cereal country
and unsurpassed for dairying and stock

real estate values have never been in

CANNING TELLS OF DAY
Lands Are as Good as 1owa's and
:: Can Be Bought at Bed
- Rock.

In 1873 to 1876 lands in the central part
of Iowa. were worth only from SO to 81
an acre. and it was hard to find a buyer
at those figures. Some of the finest rail-
road land in the state was offered for s.
an acre in 1875, with twenty years time
to pay for it at Z per cent interest, and
some of the finest land in Sac and Car
roll counties was offered for sale at 81 an
acre, after it was all broken up. This
land has been steadily going up in price
until, at the present time, it is worth
from $40 to $500 an acre, and yet no one
thinks it is too high, or is likely to go
down, nor is there any reason why they
should think so.
There is no doubt that the prices of land
in the Dakotas are away below lands of
corresponding productiveness in any OF
the states east,and that the experience of
Iowa will be repeated as to all the west,
and particularly as to the best prairie re-
gions of South Dakota. 5t23&

Our farmers are prosperous and mostly all

DAY county is the best in the state for
diversified farming, with the purest water
and the healthiest climate in the world.
Cattle, horses and sheep run out the year
round. Many of our $40 steers sent to the
Chicago stockyards were fatted on the
grasses Of Day county without tasting a
pound Of grain.. We have in Day county
not less than six creameries, and the aver
age cow will produce about $40 gross in

New York, April 3.-More interesting
details. regarding the plans of the Penn
sylvania railroad to facilitate traffic from
this city to neighboring points were given
at to-day's hearing by the commission

road, said:
when this tunnel and station are con-

New York. 1t will be perfectly feasible
to carry persons from the heart of New
York to the heart of Philadelphia in
ninety minutes. 1t will therefore be
equally feasible for Philadelphians to
come to New York to attend the theatel
and return the same night
He added that, when the contemplated

be carried thirty miles into the country
