FLOODS AT PIERRE
It Never Rains at p,crrc-Ju.t Comes
In Sheets

IN SneetS
The Bad river, which empties into
the Missouri at Fort Pierre, made
good this week-got Its back up and
poured mass of water along its
course in a way that startled the CID
est inhabitants. AT Fort Pierre it
became regular flood, washing away
building after building and leaving
many homeless and destitute. The
rains have been as heavy alorg its
course as in in any part OF the state
in fact, that whole section has got it
good and hard. The effect of it is
shown in the Missouri as far south as
Sioux City. The river rose eight feet
at Chamberlain in forty eight hours,
and on the Fourth the people covered
the trestle work of the railroad across
the river watching debris caught on
the upper river 90 sailing down stream
A good many Of the boats in the pom
toon bridge were carried away and a
part Of the new dam between the
island and the west shore. Every
thing aboul the railroad work held
good and fast. The pontoon was
opened to let the flood have full sway.

Pernlclous PaternaIlsm

For the benefit of the Chamberlain
Register and other newspapers that
have brought the old, old subject of
government-printed envelopes, with
the suggestion that the South Dakota
Press association take the matter up
with congress, we arise to remark
that for twenty years to our certain
knowledge the subject has been
threshed over and over again by press
associations from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, aided and assisted by the
National Editorial association. and
the matter stands just where 1T did in
the first place. Any action by the
South Dakota Press association look
ing to the adjustment of Uncle Sans
competition with printers in the mat.
ter of envelopes would have about as
much effect as fly on a hundred ton
locomotive. A congressman who is
foolish enough to perpetuate the free
distribution OF garden seeds-which
won't grow and which nobody wants
aiding and abetting graft that di-
rectly interferes with the business of
hundreds OF legitimate seedsmen all
over the country who pay the govern
meut thousands upon thousands of
dollars In postage annually, is just
enough of ninnyhammer to perpet-
uate the business Of furnishing the
large business interests of the country
with printed envelopes at less than
the printer can buy them plain. The
government is able to do this because
the stamp and corner address is put
on the envelope in the same operation
which turns the envelope out OF the
machine.

Where 1t Never Rains

A good many eastern land buyers
have been looking over this county
within the past two weeks, and we
are wondering what they think of
this God-forsallen, drought-strlcken
country, anyhow. This is the spot
where it never rains, you know. C.E.
Tldrick Of Chamberlain had an east
ern tenderfoot in tow for four days
last week-yes, sir, had him in tow,
for it rained everyday. The eastern
man came out to look far some land,
and about the first crack he made was
a SLAM at this dry country. When
Charley went to the livery stable with
him to geta team he asked "for that
team that can swim" "Oh, we'll
need 'em alright" said Charley when
the land buyer looked at him quizi-
cally-and sure enough they diA.
Charley drove his man all over the
west half the county trying to find
dry spot from which his man could
view the beauties of the Brule land
scape, but only found one and they
got mired on that and came near
never getting out where the swimming
was good. Finally they rau onto a
farmer building flat boat ten feet
long near which stood new q horse
gasoline engine in it's crate as it came
from the factory. They asked the
man what he was doing and he ex-
planned that he was going to mount
that engine on the boat and hitch his
corn plow on behind and 90 to work,
by CAD. That was enough for
Charley's land buyer: he wanted to go
right home. 81 spent one fortune"

little iishy but it is strictly true. We

Barley AS a Feed For Horses.

Barley is little used as a feed in
the United States, except on the Pa
cific coast. This is due largely to the
fact that barley is so much in demand
for brewing purposes that good brew
ing barley is high in price. But in
al parts of the country where it IL
grown there is always some that is
oil color or is for some reason not
Unable by the brewers, and this may
b0 obtained at a price low enough to
permit of it being used for feed. This
is sometimes brought about by a
heavy fog or rain at harvest time,
which makes it impossible to secure
it in the condition demanded by the
brewers. On the Pacific coast barley
is extensively used as horse feed. In
Europe, Asia and Africa it is exten.
sively employed for this purpose. II
is favorite feed with the Arabs, both
OF western Asia and of northern
Africa. All the countries of Europe
that raise it use it largely for this
purpose, as well as for food for man
When fed it is frequently given whole
or crushed. Grinding it makes il
too pasty when it is mixed with the
saliva of the mouth. 1t is, however
inferior to oats as a feed for horses
though 1t is not far different from
oats in composition. The horses, how
ever, like oats far better than the
barley, and mules will sometimes re-
fuse to eat barley.

A New Milk Test.

1t is reported that a German scien-
fist has invented new milk test, by
means of salts in solution, which have
the power to dissolve the casein of
milk The compound of salts is mere
ly mixed with the milk in tube and
the latter is placed in water, which
is nearly at the boiling point. The
tube used is marked with percent
ages, and the butter-fat fills the tube
in the same proportion as the fat per
centage in the milk. II this simple
system proves to be an accurate one
the dairy world will be greatly beue
fitted. The test itself will however
have TO stand the test Off further In

The Woman with a Baby.

Mid the herd of human porkers crowded
on the trolley car
All is selfshness and jostle, making age
and sex no bar;
Men collapse in seats and stay there,
letting shrinking ladies stand
With look of indignation-and strap
in either hand.
Yet there's one thing that you've noticed
never fails to make a stir
When a woman with baby comes they
all make room for her.
I have sat in stuffy coaches on a crowded
railway train,
Listening to case hardened travellers
who declared with might and main
That they'd see the railway company IN
hades' fercest heat
Long before they'd even think of giving
any one seat;
Then, ere scarce they'd ceased their
boasting, they'd rise without demur-
For a woman with a baby, they must
all make room for her.
There is something sweet, Madonnalike,
in pictures such as thu
And it makes the lowest ruffian feel like
taking off his hat
For 1t bears him back to boyhood, when
loving mother arms
Closely chung TO him and kept off cen
the least of earths alarms.
So, no matter what his station, he will
evermore defer
To a woman with a baby-he has rev.
erence for her.
Once I dreamed I stood in heaven, just
inside the pearly gate,
While to every new arrival good st
Peter said: you're late;
For the places are all taken and the
harps are all in use,
Golden streets are just so crowded ina
had to call truce"
Then a little, tired out woman lugged {
And st. Peter said; Were full up, bu
we'll find a place for you"

Edam Cheese.

E1am cheese is made in Holland
and takes it's name from the town Of
Edam. It's manufacture may have
started at that place and so given it
the name, but for the most part it Is
made in diaries and not in factories.
There are few of the latter In Hol-
land. The cows are MIXED in the
fields, and the milk hauled to the
houses. The cheese is made in large
wooden tubs, and is placed in cup
shaped molds with other cup-shaped
molds on top. This gives the cheese
the shape of a cannon ball. In the
process of curing, salt is rubbed on
it from day to day as the cheese is
turned. Edam is the great market
where large quantities of this cheese
is sold. It is piled on the pavement
IN the form of pyramids, where the
purchasers make their bargains with
the sellers.

Betty asked to see the pictures be

But at sight of them she turned
faint, and after crying spell, which
lasted several hours, she sent a tele-
gram. It read:

between the lines, knew that Betty
had given up art after having seen her
entire output on Treston's wall, and
he blessed the fate that had uncon-
sciously guided her there.

Fattening Cattle in Montana.

There is a growing demand for fat
cattle to supply our local markets,
which is worthy of the attention Of
the Montana stockman and farmer.
Hitherto the state has produced large
numbers of fat cattle from its ranges,
but these have all reached finished
condition at one season of the year,
and, consequently, have had to be
shipped at that time in order to pre-
vent loss from scanty food supplies
and severe weather. Conditions, how
ever, are rapidly changing with the
settlement of the rich valleys which
are being brought under irrigation. In
many places the large stock owner is
now able to supply food for his breed
ing herds or fiocks during the winter
season. In other sections, devoted
more largely to strictly agricultural
work, the farmer can produce enor-
nous quantities of forage which can
not be disposed of to better advantage
than in the fattening of live stock dur.
ing the winter season. 1t is possible
for our farmers not only to supply the
local demand for beef and mutton
throughout the year, but to prepare
large numbers for shipping as WE'LL

The Worlds Wheat Crop.

That the worlds wheat crop this
year is to be a full average now
seems certain. The high prices paid
for wheat in the markets of the United
States are not caused by a shortage
in the world supply, and as long as
we export wheat, or have a surplus to
export, the crop of the world is what
will finally determine the price at
which we must sell both the eXporta-
BILE surplus and the main body used
for home consumption. The crop is
about the same as that of 1902 and
1903 for all practical purposes. One
foreign estimate is that the crop this
year will be 3,064000,000 bushels. The
crop of last year was estimated at
from 3,0S7, 100000 bushels to 100000
600, a margin so wide as to throw
much doubt on the correctness of the
higher figure. Taking the world as a
whole the T'"'l tends to uniformity;
for when thCl, is a great loss in one
country th"ro is generally great gain
in some uHCr country to make it
good. The ,rnn e 1902 was estimated
at from 3,029,6OO 900 to 1856 200, 900
bushels. Even a difference of hun
dred million bushels cuts little figure
in the wheat crop of the world, being
only between three and four per cent.
1t will be seen that we cannot hope
for a world price very much in ex-
! cess of the world price of recent
years. The prices for wheat in ex.
porting nations tend to gravitate to.
