Large Shipments Of Cattle.

The shipments of cattle from Belle
Fourche during the four days from
Friday until Tuesday of last week,
and the first of this week, reached
total of nearly 400 cars. That mum.
Der of cars shipped in four days from
this station has probably been ex-
ceeded before, but not many times in
recent years, Cattle may now be
shipped from here Or any other point
on the Northwestern to any of the
markets without being unloaded for
feed and water unless the shipper so
desires. The restrictions in evidence
earlier in the season, caused by the
enforcement of the twenty-eight
hour shipping law, are not now met
with. The Northwestern stock trains
are equipped with water and feed
troughs, the use of which are per-
mitted and which do away with the
unloading for feeding purposes un-
less the shipper wishes to do so. The
great majority of stock men appre.
ciate the change.-Belle Fourche

Sioux Sand Cherry.

Prof. N. E. Hanson, horticultural
ist and plant breeder at the Agri-
cultural College Experimental Sta
ton, who has been experimenting
several years on the wild sand cher
ry to be found on the Missouri river
bottom, by grating the same onto
plum roots and by budding, has fin
ally achieved great success In breed
ing out all of the acerblty In the
native fruit and producing cherry
equal In flavor to the common gar
den cherry, and fully as large. Prof
essor Hansen will now conduct
series of experiments to breed out
the pits. But whether he succeeds
in this or not he has already bred
up hardy, luscious fruit which will
be great boon to the people Of the
state as we'll as to the people of
the entire northwest country. He
has a force of men engaged in bud
ding from this improved cherry with
the view Of multiplying the number
OF plants that may ne sent out to
farmers and others throughout the
state. He has named the new crea-
tion the Sioux Sand Cherry, ~

Wonderful Crops,


T. D. Murrin, who has returned
from a hunting trip on Elk and
Morse creeks in the vicinity of Pied
mont, says that he never saw so
much raised on land as is growing
and being harvested in that section
at the present time. On Morse creek
the crops of small grain will be
something tremendous, and those
owning and renting there will garn-
er one of the biggest crops since
the settlement of the valley. Some
of the grain is still standing and the
thresher crews are working in fields
as yet uncut, and where the bind
ers are running. On Elk creek and
on the benches above that stream the
same conditions prevail, and many a
farmer, living in that vicinity will
clear himself with this years crop.
1t is wonderful, he says, and had
more land been put in, it is doubt
full if sufficient help could have
been secured to have saved the crop.
Hay and grass crops are especially
luxuriant, and there will be feed
enough in the country to winter all
the cattle that can be driven into the
neighborhood. Mr.. Murrin says that
it is the richest section of South Da-
| lota today.-Call.

To Establish Government Farm.

The agricultural department Off
cials have informed Engineer Walter
that their department had granted
the request for the establishment of
a government farm under the Belle
Fourche project. A farm unit, con-
sisting of probably so acres, will be
utilized for the purpose and it will
lie under the project. The farm will
be selected by the agricultural de-
partment at an early day.
The farm will be under the super
vision Of the agricultural department
will be maintained and experiments
conducted by that department and
not at the expense of the project
here further than the contributing
of the farm.
The plan for the establishment of
a government farm under the pro-
ject has been mentioned before and
doubtless the results to be accomp-
lished will be OF much benefit to all
farmers residing under the project.
Not only is the subject of irrigation
new to practically all of the new set
tiers under the project but to very
large proportion who at present own
their lands as the advantages for
securing information as to best meth
DDS to pursue have been very limit
ed. The work to be done under the
supervision of the agricultural de.
partment will be all the more val
liable to the farmers because Of the
local character of the work. The
best methods of putting water on the
land, best crops to plant, ETC., il

lished will be invaluable and assis
greatly in the development of tn
project.
A representative from the agricul
tural department will personally Sc
lect the farm which will be as typi
cal in soil and other characteristic
as 1t is possible to select. 1t is un
