GOOD IN CHANGE OF AIR.
Too Close Confinement TO Any At
mOsDhere Is Injurious to
the Health.

The quasi miraculous benefits which
are associated with change OF air In
the popular belief are in reality de-
rived when they accrue from change
of environments, or change Of habits
of life, says the Medical Review. In
a great many instances the measure
of ne1t obtainable would be as ef-
fectul.ly secured and at much less ex-
peIce by mere change of habits, with
out the fatigue and inconvenience Of
change of domicile. The overwrought
city clerk might advantageously take
to driving cab, while The cabman
woGlC had it relief to discharge for
a tine the functions of caretaker of
desttr ed house. Many an overworked
physician would experience a distinct
improvement were he to qualify as
chauffeur. with no other object in
view than 10 cover space and there
are few domestic servants whose
health would not be sensiby modified
by brief experience as milkmaid or
cleaner should the season lend itself
to that pursuit The literary gent,
whose brain is sterile of new ideas
might recuperate his energies by
usurping the role of sick man and
remaining in bed for week or two.

PROBLEM OF DRY FARMING.
Agricultural Department Has scheme
for Raising Plants with
ont Use OF Water.

II is probable that In the near future
II will be possible to raise good crops
without either natural or artificial irri-
cation. As is apparent to everyone,
even the most liberal system of irriga-
tion reclamation will not exhaust the
available arid and semiarid regions Of
the west, as even when irrigation has
been applied to its utmost limits there
will remain some millions Of acres CT
fertile land that adjoin these reclaimed
wastes. The lands lie principally be-
tween the one hundredth ard the Gre
hundred and twentieth meridiars ard
comprise areas over which there is o
deficient rainfall. with ro available
neighboring tources Of supply which
might be brought to them even by ca
nails,
but the department Of agriculture has
other resources to fall back upon, II
he customary crops require water why
not develop new crops that can be grown
Try? This. In substance, is the problem
the bureau OF plant industry has set for
itself. Dry land farming or dry farm
Ing is the name of this uniqus scheme.
lust now the world is being sCarChed

There is no doubt in my mind that

they are mining coal just over east

Chickasha and not 50 far north Of

good bonus as an accompaniment.
MOI only so but give such plants
immunity from taxation for ninty-

location for a cotton factory town
IN the United States. Such insti-
tutions are out looking tor offers

so but New Mexico, the great

Soldiers Monument

Milbank, Jan. Il, 1904.
To those in the township who have
received petitions for subscription for
the soldiers monument to be erected in
the city of Milbank, | wish to say that
if you have not yet finished the canvas
of your township, send me word how
much has been subscribed on the lst
of February SO that | can estimate the
amount Of money on hand. as | am to
meet parties between the 9th and 9th of
February to see what they will put up
the monument for. Let every man in
the county give something towards the
erection of this monument. We want
to put one up that will be an honor
and a credit to the citizens of Grant
county and that will help to beautify
the city. Just remember that in 1861
those boys left the comforts of home
and battled for four long years to
save this union. Just think what they
went through, suffered untold hard
ship with heat, cold and hunger: lay
in PRISONS and battled with disease.
How, OH how many laid down their
lives that this United States might re-
main united country.

A RECORD BREAKER
S35O,OOO Worth Of Cream Sep.
aratOrs in One Shipment
Reached Mime apOIts
Tuesday on u Special
Train

The special train of forty-five cars,
loaded with Sharples Cream Sepa-
rators, consigned to Deere & Webber
Company, which reached Minneapolis
Tuesday, December /. marked an
epoch in the history of dairying in
this country. The train, decorated
with long banners, was the most spec
tacular that has ever been sent on
similar trip to any industrial concern.
| This record d-breaking shipment,
$3.50, 900 worth Of separators, is the
best possible indication of the wonder
full growth of dairying in the north
west. The farmer who is using the
old gravity process, or taking his
milk to local creamery, should seri-
ously consider the question of buying
separator for his use. There is a
saving of 20 per cent to be made over
the old way, which will pay for
mach inc IN a very short time. The
cream separator has been used extern
sively in the east for about twenty
years. and has become practically a
necessity in the dairy ing business.
Cream taken from the milk by mechan-
ical means makes butter that is far
superior and of higher commercial
value than that made from cream
taken from milk in any other way.
| Where the farmer has his own sepa-
rator the cream is separated from thes
milk almost Immediately after it Is
drawn from the cow, and before it has
become contaminated. In addition
the farmer gets at least 20 per cent
more butter from the milk and can
feed warm, fresh milk instead of cold.
Minnesota butter ranks with tile
best and with the general Introduction
and use of improved methods supplied
by separators the production will be
further improved and increased, and
the western farmer will receive the
benefit in larger returns for his labor.
