NORTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR.

dan Under Favorable Auspices.
The North Dakota state fair was
opend at Mandan with addresses by
Lieut.. Gov. Bartlett and Gen. q. A.
williams. The weather was magnif-
cen and the fair started off more aus
piciously than any ever held there.
The fun began with a concert by the
North Dakota State band. Following
that the band headed the march of 500
school children to the fair grounds,
where. the opening exercises were con-
dncted.
There was a large attendance and
the visitors were well cared for.
The grounds have been improved
and seventysiy stalls added to the
cattle and stock sheds.
The live stock exhibit was attractive
and consisted Of blue blooded cattle
and horses from both Dakotas and
Minnesota.
The racing program was an interest
Ing one and some fast time was made.
More attention has been made to the
agricultural exhibits than in former
years, and there are many things that
will be secured by the state board for
the st. Louis exposition.
The Indians were out In full array
ready for business, and enjoyed the
occasion to the limit.

parts OF the state, especially the James
river valley, an i~nexhaustible supply
OF water of even temperature and free
from harmful minerals. These wells
found most valuable for stock
growing and sometimes for
OF irrigation during periods of drought,
me water Is usually of a temperature
above rs degrees, and in the winter
STOCK drink freely of it, as they would
not do of cold well or lake water.
During the past two years hundreds
OF artesian wells have been sunk. and
the country is fast becoming dotted
with little lakes and ponds, many of
which have been stocked with fish.
Some of the wells, notably those in
towns and cities, are Of six and eight
inch bore and furnish a supply Of wa
ter for municipal purposes at high
pressure. Other wells furnish
for electric light plants and Touring
mills. Artesian wells with a pressure
OF 125 to $50 pounds to the square inch
are common all V e the state.
Formerly it cost from $4,000 to s4,-
600 to sink an artesian well. Now,
with the improved machinery and bet
ter knowledge of the work. a farmer
may get strengthening, ~inexhaustible
wells at a cost not exceeding $500 in

The climate of South Dakota Is one
of the most delightful in the world. AS
a rule, little snow falls before the hol-
idays, and cattle and horses find green
grass until the first of December. The
long Indian summer gives opportunity
to care for all crops during pleasant
weather. The snowfalls-when they
~happen-in midwinter are always fol-
lowed by sunshine. Foggy, shivery
weather, which causes so much dis
comfort in Eastern states, is unknown
in South Dakota. Only a few billiards.
have been known since it's occupancy
by white men, the last occurring in
1883.
No more striking tribute can be paid
to the climate than to state that thou.
sands Of cattle subsist through the en-.
tire winter without shelter or without
food other than the grass upon the
prairies, which cures into good hay
and affords excellent grazing the year
around. The temperature in the sum-
mer is frequently above 90, but a light
breeze springs up during the day and
dispels all sultriness.
-. n.IA sA.J.--
The principal crops are corn and
wheat, but within a few years corn
will be king unchallenged. The corn
belt is rapidly extending, and with
each years cultivation the yield in
creases. Better acclimated seed corn
and the retention of moisture in well
cultivated lands accounts for the con-
slant Improvement in the corn crops.
The corr crop for 1900 is the largest
in the history of the state, yields OF
seyenty-five bushels being not IN
common. In 1901 the yield was not SO
large, though South Dakota had much
better corn than the neighboring
states of Minnesota. Iowa and Ne5ras-
ka, and the more southern state of
Missouri. The yield in 1901 vas 81
725,000 bushels.
The secretary of the state historical
society gives the following figures for
1o00.

McComb City to Jackson seems to

its origin in the fact that the COM
