MANILA ELKS LOSE
Los Angeles Lodge Wins Prize
for Greatest Mileage

CINCINNATI Ohio, July 2S.-At the
reunion of the Elks here last week the
awarding committee was unable to de-
eide whether the prize of $500 for the
greatest mileage belonged to the Ma
Mia lodge or to the Los Angeles lodge
and the matter was referred to the
general and local committee on ar
rangements for a decision.
That committee today awarded the
money to the Los Angeles lodge on the
ground that all of the marching mem
bers had come to Cincinnati especially
for that purpose. The Manila lodge
had the greatest aggregate mileage,
but it was held that they had several
members in line who We're in this coun-
try for other purposes than attending
the Elks reunion.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FRIDAY, DECEMBER ,. 1904.
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY OFF

There has always been more or less
Of a hope that the day would come
when the principle of reciprocity
could be utilized with Canada. but
the idea seems to have gone glim-
mering so far as any assistance might
be secured from the coming session of
Congress. And it does not all rest
with Congress, this reciprocal idea
with Canada, but with the Canad-
ians themselves. President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay would both hail
with gladness the carrying into
effect of this principle, but the diff
culties surrounding it are such that
neither are sanguine for its success.
The administration has been testing,
in q quiet way, both the senate and
the Canadian government only to
find that neither show any inclina-
tion to yield.
During the tendency of the Ding
ley bill Canada sent her missionaries
to this country to ask for some con
cessions for the dominion, but I'M
fortunately the government turned a
deaf ear to her requests. AT that
time Canada's future was not so
glorious, nor..were her people so we'll
to do as at the present time, and
they were willing to yield to most
anything to get in touch with the
business relations of the United
States. This unsuccessful attempt
sent the Canadian representatives
back with a determination to get
along without any assistance from
the United States, and to what eX-
tent that country has accomplished
it is shown in the statement that
Canadians are rich, prosperous and
not asking for fayors. Sir Wilfred
Laurier's policy Of "Canada for Cana
dians'' has worked out the solution
Of the problem with which they
were confronted some years ago.
Today tempting advantages are
offered American farmers to cross
the border into the dominion and
engage i'm farming whereby they are
becoming in a measure wealthy.
With the United States and the
Dominion Of Canada working as
allies in a commercial sense they
would make a team which would
make the foreign heads dizzy at the
further growth of these two coun-
tries.

ON THANKSGIVING DAY
Services at the Presbyterian Church
We're Largely Attended-Col-
lection Taken.

Thanksgiving morning the eulire
seating capacity of the Presbyterian
church was utilized to accommodate
the people who went there to attend
the usual Thanksgiving services.
These were in charge OF Rev. j. S.
Su1beck, and he was assisted by the
pastors of the city. The invocation
was delivered by Rev. Chas. II. Pow
ell, Of the Episcopal church, and the
reading of the Psalms was lead by
DIR. Thomas Nicholson, Of the Uni
versity. The scriptures were read by
Rev. II. S. Wilkinson, of the Meth
odist church ana the prayer was
offered by Rive. L. j. Giblett, of the
Baptist church.
The music Of the morning was
furnished by the choir OF the church,
the Misses Preston and the Misses
Pratt, the ladies singing a special
number and Miss Ella Preston sing
Ing a solo. Previous to the sermon a
collection was taken up for the bene-
fit of tie Childrens' Home at Sioux
Falls.
The sermon Of the day was deliv-
cred by Rev. A. Craig B%owdish,
pastor Of the Congregational church,
whose text was taken from I Thes-
salonians, 1918. His remraks were
of a highly interesting character.
setting forth Thanksgiving day as
one of homecoming, a renewing of
memories and reviewing the past.
He spoke with particular reference
to a re-establisbment of the home ties
which, seemingly in years past. have
been allowed to become less binding
and which has had more or less
effect on national life. He believed
that Thanksgiving day to be the
ideal n for beginning over again
to make the home ties stronger. Mr..
Eowdish said that in his opinion the
gathering Of large crowds on Thanks
giving day had a tendency to break
up the family in its intercourse on
occasions OF this character, referring
to the football games, and stated
that in the east the tendency was
growing stronger to put an end to
the sport on this day. Mr.. Bowdish
touched very interestingly on the
things we have to be thankful for,
in the progress of the nation, for the
enlightenment Of u people, the
fact that country is at peace
with the world, and for the manly
executive who governs u country.
After singing America the audi
ence was dismissed by the pronounce
ing Of the benedlction by Rev. II. FL.
Youngman.
The weather of the day was simply
ideal. While cool during the day
the atmosphere was bracing and ad-
ded greatly to the success of tine
features.

1t will be hard to deter mine Just
what action the state legislature will
take concerning the construction of
a new state house. Sums of money
varying all the way from $40, 600 to
$1,000, 600 have been suggested by the
state press as necessary with which
to do business. The campaign is
over and there is not the slightest
chance Of removal of the capital
from Pierre for all time to come.
With that point settled we believe it
best to remain that way for some
years to come. This state has not
reached the proportions to burden
tie people with a million dollar cap
itol. In the flush Of excitement the
people get the idea that there is
nothing to good for South DAKOTA.
That is true, bat all in good time.
While the success OF the state is as
su1ed time ought to be given to bet
ter fill the Golfers of the average per-
sol before commencing to saddle a
debt chat will last the life time of
the average resident of the state.
Our Pierre FRIENDS were very much
in earnest during the campaign In
saying that she present capitol was
sufficient for the ten or fifteen years
to come, and if such is the cas- why
not the give the state the benefit of
the situation and let the capitol
building go until the people are in
shape to stand the additional tax
that will be necessary, or wait until
the state lands that are to be used
for such purposes are able to be sold
for somewhere near the minimum
figure at which they are held 10y the
state.

A final consideration in feeding is that in
rearing live stock the farmer should aim to grow
all roughage material needed upon his own farm.
1t can always be grown more cheaply than pur-
chased. However, the farmer is not usually able
to furnish all the protein or heterogeneous material
needed. This can readily be purchased in form
of bran or cotton-seed meal, and such are always
needed to properly balance the feeding rations.
ALI this suggests that the raising of livestock is
a business. It is. It is a good business for the
farmer and the farm. Rightly done it makes a
good profit for the work and also it makes cotton
better, and corn better, and tobacco better.
Above all, it builds up the farm home because of
milk and better and beef and pork for wife and
children. Meat makes men and the way to get
meat it is to raise it. Once started it will grow
in extent and besides the needed amount for the
home, there will be steers and hogs and sheep and
wool for sale.
Now lets go after more live stock, and above
all, let's go after quality.

Herefords in the South.

"The peculiar adaptability of Hereford cattle
to the South has long since been recognized by
experts in the line of bovine Improvement.
Kentucky has numerous fine herds, including
the grand champion bull at the 1902 Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition, Britisher.'

Agricultural Experiment Station, has demon
strated how great a part the Hereford can play

white faces in that region, and has some re-
markedly fine specimens, both home grown and

"The thick, but mellow hides and heavy coats

Gated.
Secretary Chas. r. Thomas, of the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders Association, recently

South, where ticks were unusually prevalent, and
says: From a number of the largest ranch owners

mirably and were prime favorites.'
"The Hereford has an established record for

in maturing on grass alone.
"When Texas bred and Texas raised Herefords

so attained in any breed the more likely viii it
reproduce itself. So when I went to buy my hog
stock to keep and raise as well as sheep, I selected
a thoroughbred that has been long bred to the
points I wanted here in the South. Ny expe-
rience with four different and most popular
breeds having taught me that such points as
above described fully fixed in the breeding of the
hog surely makes one ting. will do for the block
at any age, so I made my selection of a thorough
bred registered hog that has been bred with an
aim at that ideal. have seen of this breed killed
under one year old that averaged a little over one
pound net of clean meat for each day of their
age. That can be done up to 365 pounds net at
one year, and that is quite large enough for our
own consumption. I do not believe the South
needs a 600, or 800, or 1000 pound hog. I be-
lieve that 1000 pounds, made in three young
hogs is better meat and cheaper meat than when
made in a 1000 pound hog. Big animals do to
talk about and blow about, but for home utility
give us smaller, well-formed animals, bred to be
at their best when slaughtered young.

Hogs for the South.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

ANASOAS ~AhO
In The Farmer of March Doth, I note what
Professor Burkett so pertinently but briefly says
about "the hog for Southern farms" I would
agree with him fully except in one thing. He
says: "short snout, dished back, and short, porky
neck; upright shoulder, well covered. and fine;
long, broad back with deep sides; wide hips that
are broad and deep; thick thighs with meat close
down to hooks, and short legs both fore and hind.
The belly line should be straight and parallel to
top line" I think the "typo" must have left out
a word or two in his first sentence, and I believe
he meant to say, "short snout, face dished back,
broad and prominent forehead and short ;'-indi-
eating large brain, as he evidently intended,
which is surely right.
He then says, "long, broad back" etc., but I
would rather say, short, broad back" in place
of long, because that while long back makes long
sides profitable to packers at Chicago, who sell
the hams and shoulders largely in the North and
sell the sides to us down South for our cotton
money we might very ~proftably to ourselves
change the hog order, and get all the shoulder
and ham possible with short, thick sides between
them, making shorter belly and less room for
corn in it, which costs US twice as much as it
does in the corn belt. Such hams and shoulders
and sides can, as a rule, be grown cheaper on a
medium or less sized hog than on a long, big one,
and it is generally better adapted to fatten prop
erly for meat under one year old than a long one
with roomy belly; let us steadily aim to produce
that kind of meat on kind and form of hog with
the least possible feed required to produce a
given number of pounds for our own people to
eat, and we shall surely make an eminent success
of it.
But what l want more especially to notice is
the prejudice about names or breeds which he SO
properly insists that we set aside. He is right.
l believe that prejudice in stock keeping and
breeding does us more harm than the same in
politics. Some of US will pay more for a pig or
a sheep if it is imported" l predict that our
great st. Louis Exposition this year will give an
exhibit of American bred stock of all kinds that
will fully equal and in some respects excel those
of any or all other nations on earth.
This is not to underate or discard thorough
bred stock, for I believe that a long line of breed
ing to an ideal with specifically described points
of excellence thoroughly adhered to, is the only
way to establish success in animal breeding.
There is a natural law that all must recognize.
"Like produces like" and the longer excellent
points have been aimed at and the more nearly
