Statesmen for a Chicago house
recently took orders for groceries ia
this vicinity and Tuesday started to
deliver the goods, says the Oldham
Register. The delivery point was
the depot but for reasons below Civ
en- they "shut up shop" in a hurry
aud changed their locations. j. E
Bowel, chairman of the town board
went to the men and told them that
they were violating a town ordln-
ance by handling goods as transient
merchants in Oldham. The agent
said they would continue to deliver
goods w~hereupon Bowel instructed
Marshall Hamilton to see that said
delivery was not made in the corpo-
rate limits. The grocerymen finally
decided that The who fights and
runs away will live to fight some
other day" Cor place. and after their
war with words, had the goods haul
ed outside the corporation and there
delivered to the purchasers.
Once or twice in the fall we
have had slight traces of frost in
small spots in this locality, but not
enough to kill the most tender garden
plants, such az tomato and cucum-
Der vines, until Tuesday morning,
Oct. 10th. Some claim to remember
a seaso IN the early eighties when
the frost held off until the first part
of October, but we believe the year
1905 beats the record for this section
of the country. This has been a
when all sorts of vegetables
thrived and matured, aud when corn
planted from seed from almost any
long season climate ripened to per.
lection. With the cattle men ma
ture has been extremely kind. There
has not been sufficient rain in the
past two weeks to keep the grass
in a sappy condition, therefore an
immense amount of the finest hay in
the world has cured on the grounds.
The range now should be better
than III the su1nme for putting fat
on the stock. Taking it all in all the
season of 1905 has been a good n

T. G. O'Hora, of Mathews town
ship, knows how to take advantage
of the resources offered by a South
Dakota farm. Last week he sold Ia
head of cows and young stock, re.
ceiving therefor the sum of $4,000,
whick representative average annual
output of his farm from that one
source. The milk sold during the
year averaged about $25 per month,
or $4,000 for the year. At the
present prices he will have $4,000
worth OF hogs to turn of in about
six weeks. There was also raised
this season a crop of 2,400 bushels,
which a safely be put at 100000
above the expense of raising and
marketing. The feed crops raised
are not counted rs having a money
value for these crops go to feed the
cattle, hogs and horses, and might
be called a part Of operating expense.
The total cash income from Mr..
OHora's farming operations will be
S2,050W for the year, besides a large
part of the living for the family
raised oil the farm, or paid from the
poultry yard. Not every farmer 10
