Pure Seed Special Train.

The Chicago & Northwestern is plan
ming a novel venture in a pure seed
special" train, which will traverse COM
pany lines in South Dakota, Minnesota
and other states this winter. The com.
pany will run a special train carrying
Prof's Wilson and Wheeler Of the
South Dakota Agricultural school; A.
c. Johnson. Of WiDona, general agent,
and NJ. +. Greely, over its various lines,
with stops at every village and way
station. The grain experts will con-
duct a brief lecture and will dissem.
mate information to farmers, who call
at the train, with reference to the care
of seed grain, with view Of teaching
the agriculturists Of the state how to
grow larger crops and how best to
utilize the full productive value Of the
seed wheat.
The experts state that much seed
wheat is planted which at the time of
planting is either wholly dead, or SO
weak that it dies with the first adverse
condition. This seriously limits the
productiveness Of given amounts of
seed. grain. Professors Wilson and
Wheeler will tell the farmers how seed
may be cared for in such manner as to
preserve its value and increase its etfic.
iency 20 per cent.
The instruction will be without cost
to the farmers and meetings will be
held at three or four points in every
county which the Northwestern reaches.
The train will cover South Dakota
first and then Minnesota, and it is quite
probable that the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha lines in this
state will also be covered.
The special train will carry samples
of each of the various grains commonly
planted in the northwest The experts
accompanying the special will demon
strate, by practical examples, the live
and productive seed and the manner in
which it may be distinguished from
dead and worthless grain. Every ac-
cessory which can aid in spreading
practical information of the seed grain
subject will be provided.
The South Dakota experts assert
that proper attention to the question
OF, planting pure seed will increase the
grain crop Of the northwest 5000, ,0OC
bushels year. Somewhat similar agita
ton was undertaken in Iowa last year
with reference to seed corn, with the
result that this years crop shows notice
able results Of the work of the agricul
tura' experts.

BACK IN PIONEER DAYS
An Interview With Obadiah Smith
One of the Earliest Settlers In f
This Locality, Reproduced From +
the Columns OF the Trans
H. crjpt.

In July, 1901, we printed AL inter-
view with Obadiah Smith Of Window
township giving some account Of his
early experiences in Mower County.
It was not taken in shorthand but was
given as nearly as we could get it down.
The fact is that Mr. Smith was aVerse
to the idea of such an interview and 1t
was only after months OF persistent
asking that we obtained it. In view OF
the coming golden wedding annlVer-
sary of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, We have
thought that a reproduction OF this
might he timely and very interesting.
In reply to the question how he came
to locate in the West. Mr.. Smith said:
ain the summer of 1854, being very
much out OF health where l then re-
sided in Walpeck, Sussex county, Ne"
Jersey, our family physician ADVISED d
change Of climate and II possible a
voyage on water. 1t took mo only two
days to make my arrangements 1or
trip out west. AS good fortune was
nv fate this time, cousin was about
to start westward, and it being his first
trip as we'll as my own, we were glad to
start out together. A few years before
this time, three families from our
neighborhood went west and settled
south of Madison, Wis, and for this
point we set out. We boarded the train
at Port Jarvis, 26 miles from Walpeck.
for Chicago and from there we took
the steamer for Milwaukee. We had
been on the boat only a couple Of hours
when terrible gale arose. The boat
tossed. heayed and tumbled and it was
