VALUE AND USE OF ASBESTOS.
Discovery of Good Deposit of Right Variety Would Pay Prospectors.

Discovery Of Good Deposit of Right
 Variety Would Pay Prospectors.
 One of the most profitable finds that prospector could make in this country would be an extensive depos- it of chrysotile asbestos. The inn portance of this useful mineral is en- phasized by the meagerness of our supply. The total quantity produced in the United States during the year of 1903 was only STA short tons. valu- ed at $14,160. Asbestos to the value of $6S9,337 was imported into the country during the year 1903, which indicates the inadeQuacy of our home supply. The great economic value of our limited asbestos resources is shown by Dr Joseph Hyde Pratt in a report to the geological survey.
 Nearly all of the asbestos imported into the United States is obtained from the Canadian deposits. The as-i bestos produced In the United States comes principally from deposits in Sall Mountain, White county, Geor- gia, but small quantities were mined near Dalton, Berkshire county, Mas sachusetts, and near New Hartford, Conn With the exception of the small amount of asbestos produced in Massachusetts, the entire production was of the amphibole variety. Tn view of the manifold uses of chryso- tile asbestos. which would surely multiply with any reduction in price, it is unfortunate that our country contains so little of this valuable min eral. The most promising deposits of chrysotile asbestos in the United States are the properties of the Yer mont Asbestos Go and the Tucker As bestos Go near the village of Lowell, Vt.
 Dr Pratt devotes the major portion of his report to a discussion of the uses of asbestos and the origin of the chrysotile variety. In practically all cases where asbestos is used its pow CT to resist heat is the important quality. A few years ago only few articles were made of this mineral, but 1t is now used in hundreds of forms, as asbestos products can be manufactured in almost any size and shape to meet all kinds of demands New York Evening Post.

Probabilities are strong for
the Milwaukee Pushing
Through to the
Cons
fFrom the Mitchell Daily Republican,

(From the Mitchell Daily Republican,
Tacoma, WASH, June 25.-Indica-
tiOns increase that the Chicago Mil
waukee and St. Paul railroad is pre-
pairing to build from South Dakota
to Puget Sound within two years.
Agents have purchased 400 care OF
terminal grounds in Tacoma tide
llnds. Smaller purchases of tide
lands have been made at Seattle and
Portland. President Buckingham of
the Tacoma Eastern, would not deny
yesterday hat an option on his line
had been given to the Milwaukee
road. In March, President Earling.
of the St. Paul road spent two days
in conference with John Bagley,
manager and builder of the Tacoma
Eastern. Northwest l~umbermen
have been urging President Earling
and Chairman Miller to extend their
road to the coast, pointing out that
they would secure, to start with,
lumber traffic of at least 10000 car
loads annually.
1t is believed that the st. Paul
will reach Portland over the Harri-
man line from the Snake rives ter
ritory and will build a line from
Columbia river to Puget Sound,
which may be jointly used by the
Milwaukee and Hartman system.
The foregoing looks % like
business than anything that has
yst appeared. 1t is we'll known by
those close to the ,Ioficials of the
company hat the G. M. Il st. Paul
has definitely decided to cross the
Missouri at Chamberlain, and possibly
at Evarts also; and President Earl
inp's frequent visits out to the Pacific
coast of late, coupled with the news
from Tacoma, gives much color to
the report that the Milwaukee will
not stop at the Black Hills when
once it starts west.
There are those who imagine that
the Milwaukee will make some kind
of a grand-stand play of this kind to
catch votes for Mitchell, Much as
the company would probably appre-
ciate q vote of public confidence by
placing the capital at Mitchell and
allowing it to share what capital
business there is with the North
Western, the extension of it's line to
tho Pacific coast, or even to the
Black Hills, is too vast an undertake
ing to warrant the Milwaukee in
starting the work prematurely. But
that the extension is a sure 60 with
in two years is as certain as anything
we'll can be.

Must Vote Each Year

Aberdeen, June 28.-A tele-
gram received here says that
Judge Whiting of DeSmet has
decided the Hetland license case
in favor of the anti saloon league.
Hetland, Kingsbury county,
voted in favor of license in
1908, but no vote was taken last
spring and the league asked a
writ of prohibition against the
issue of a license on the ground
that a vote must be taken each
year. Judge Whiting sustained
the contention of the league and
ordered a peremptory writ of
prohibition. Under this decision
towns where no vote was had
last spring cannot issue licenses.
The list includes many cities
And towns, Deadwood, Yankton,
Watertown, Mitchell, Pierre and
Chamberlain being among them.
Aberdeen voted for license last
spring.
Taubmanan and Williamson o fthis
city, attorneys for the brewing
company, fighting the writ, an
nounce the case will go to the

sible. The construction of the
law has heretofore been that the
result of an election held good

ter how many years elapsed.

holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city. and the rates at which
guests will be received is a matter Of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, a hotel or the Elk
position grounds, has a capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
ment has control of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $1.5O to $3.50
per day, European plan, including ad-
mission to the grounds. On the Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to s.
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in st. Louis, and a signed agree
ment has been made between many of
their managers with the Exposition Of
icials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites ad-
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no M need pay exor-
bitant. rates for accommodations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
Skinker road, overlooking the EXPOSE
ton grounds. This hostelry will ac-
commodate 5000 persons. The rates,
European plan, are from 81 to S. per
day. The Grand View hotel, south of
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has
q capacity for 5000 guests, and the
rates are 81 to $3.50 per day, European,
and So to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth, on West
Park boulevard and Billion avenue, has
a capacity of 1900 guests, with a rate
Of $3.50 per day.
The above mentioned are a few of the
new hotels that have been erected near
the Exposition grounds for the accom-
mediation of Worlds Fair visitors. All
told there are about twoscore. All are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with COM
prehensive views of the grounds. All
Of the structures are we'll built, and in
some of them the most luxurious quar-
tiers are obtainable. The rates are es-
tablished and will not be increased dur
ing the Exposition.

F&DAlAY

The editors of Hoard's Dairyman
say they have never fed oats as a part
of the ration for milk cows because in
their opinion other feeds were consid-
cred more economical. In an expert
ment conducted at the Wisconsin sta
ton oats proved to be 10 per ent more
valuable, pound for pound. than bran
for producing milk. An experiment at
the Colorado station showed that there
was no practical difference in feeding
value between Colorado oats and Colo
RADIO bran. Theoretically oats contain
about &C per cent Of digestible nutri-
ents as against So per cen in bran.
This would give oats a trife more than
10 per cent higher feeding value than
bran for milk cows, but almost invaria-
bly,. in Wisconsin. oats are worth in
market from 20 TO 25 per cent more
than bran.
In answer to the inquiry as to what
the editors grow for cow feed and in
what way and manner they are feeding
cows they say that they are more and
o convinced that for the latitude
and climate of Wisconsin corn for 81
lage and alfalfa for hay must consti-
tute the greater part Of the home
grown ration for cows. To this may be
added for grain either bran and barley
or barley and gluten feed or distillers'
dried grains or whatever else the mar
ket makes most profitable to use.

A Good Barnyard.
One of the most desirable adjuncts
to a good dairy farm and at the same
time the hardest to get is a good, hard
barnyard that will not poach up by
the constant treading Of the COWS in
wet weather. At our own farm. says
HOard's Dairyman. we have succeeded
in constructing just such a yard, and
that, too, in a comparatively inexpen-
sive tanner. The soil underlying the
yard, wherein run about fifty cows and
heifers, is a heavy clay. Any one Of
experience knows what that sOr Of
soil means in a wet time. Into this
yard three years & we drew three
car loads of coal cinders, and it was
soon as hard as a macadamized road
and has SO continued to this day. 1t is
easily scraped by the use Of a two
horse b%arnyard scraper, and there is
never any mud in it. When we re-
member the old fashioned barnyard,
with COW wallowing knee deep in ma
nure. we bless the day that set us to
making a coal cinder yard.
Growth of Butter Storage.
That there has been an increase in
the amount of butter stored in Chicago
is evident from the figures given re-
Gently by the Elgin dairy report, says
American Agriculturist. For 1900 the
returns show 1,O13,52O tubs, for 1901
1,132,57O. for 1902 1897 1878, for 1903
1.4O9,45S. This shows an increase in
four years of nearly 100000 tubs. The
growth of the storage business in but
ter is only another indication of the in
crease in the dairy industry. 1t also
tends to equalize prices. Thus in 1883
the prices on the Elgin board for June
and July averaged about 20 cents; for
December. 1883. and January. 1884, the
average was about 80 cents; for June
and July, 1901. the average was about
10 cents: for December, 1901, and Janu-
airy. 1902. the average was about "a
cents. showing in one case almost dou-.
BILE the price during the short season
and In the other an increase of only
about d quarter or less.
