INCOME OVER $1,000 A YEAR.
Johnson's Original Farm Investment
Was but $1,000.

l.. f. Johnson, who finished two
terms as register of deeds for Lake
county, several years ago and became
a farmer, reports the most gratifying
results of his experiment. He pur-
chased 4S0-acre farm at that time for
$1,000, and the next season an adjoin-
ing lakehed dried up and gave him $50
acres of the alluvial lakebed by ri
parian right. He has just finished
threshing about 10000 acres of grain
which he raised with the assistance of
one hired man. and estimates his crops
worth this year some $4,000. On an
investment of $1,000 for 4S0 acres of
land he now has $50 acres worth $780,
GOO. that yields him an income OF over
s. 900 a year. Klondike and Standard
Oil are faded by the glittering possibil-
tiles Of peaceful agriculture.

COUNTY INSANE ASYLUM.

Experiment Is to Be made in South Da-
kota.
The county commissioners of Kings
bury county have decided to make an
interesting experiment, the result OF
which will be watched with great in
terest by the people of every other
county in the state.
It is proposed to erect building on
the county poor farm for the purpose
of providing accommodations for such
insane persons living in the county as
can be cared FOR without the necessity
of sending them to the state hospital
for the insane at Yankton.
The crowded condition of the latter
and the expense TO the county OF
maintaining it's insane patients at the
state asylum are given as the reasons
for the proposed construction of a
county asylum.
In accordance with the determine
ton of the board, bids will be received
by the county commissioners until Oct.
10 for the erection of the building. IL
these are satisfactory it is probable
the contract will be awarded at once,
so the work of constructing the build
ing can commence without delay.
In the past the county insane asy-
lum idea has been agitated in several
counties, but this is the first time the
matter has assumed definite form.
If the plan proves successful there
is no doubt that other counties in the
state will also erect asylums and
strive to care for all or at least part
of their own insane.
