Washington, Kans., Dec. 25 (Spe-
ciaD-Jesse f. Mitchell is a telephone
lineman, and also a well known resi-
dent here. Everybody acquainted
with Mr.. Mitchell knows that he was
a man who held very positive views
about Patent Medicine. Hear what he
says now:
Il used to curse all kinds OF Patent
Medicines, for they did me any
good, but Dodd's Kidney Pills have
caused me to change my mind. For
twelve years l suffered from Kidney
Trouble. There was a hurting across
my back that made it positive agony

Fer the Rural Reader.

A few years ago, while | was living
In Lebanon, n. H., there was a certain
Mr.. Bagley there who was noted for
trying to use big words, and also for
getting his remarks somewhat twist
ed. On a certain occasion he had
been at a farmers meeting at Hano-
yer and, while returning, one OF his
neighbors drove up behind him and
the conversation turned on crops.
His ~neighbor asked: How is your
hay crop this season."
Bagley replied: well my hay crop
Is rather short, but I shall get my
cows through the winter all right, for
I shall have two solos full Of muci,

An Object Lesson in the Value OF the Reclamation Law Shown

and extend east to Willow creek.
The acreage irrigable on the north
side is approximately $4,000, Of which
10000 is public land and $4,000 in pri-
vate ownership; that on the south
side is about 20 1000 acres, of which all
except 1000 acres is private land.
The length of the main supply canal
will be 6.45 miles. 1t will have a bot
tom width of 40 feet and a capacity of
1875 section feet. A lateral from this
canal will reclaim about 1000 acres
of land along the river above the res
ervoir. From the reservoir two dis
tributing canals, each about forty
miles long, will be constructed. The
larger canal will run in a ~northerly
and easterly direction, irrigating
about 1000 acres of land on the north
voir and Willow creek divide. A canal
which will leave the reservoir on the
west side of Owl creek will irrigate
some 1000 acres on lower Owl creek.
emptying the stored a into the
river below the point where another
diversion is made to irrigate some 49,
600 acres of first-class land on the
south side of the river in the vicinity
of Vale and Empire. BY making a sec
ond diversion here the return water
from the lands irrigated above may
be used.
The soil is free from alkali and lit
tie drainage will be necessary. The
crops that can best be raised are
small grains, such as oats, wheat. rye
and barley, and fruits, such as apples,
pears, plums, cherries and small
fruits. Sugar beets would no doubt
prove a profitable crop II a factory
for making sugar were located in the
neighborhood. Potatoes can be raised
on the south side, where the soil con-
tains more sand. The main crop, how
ever, will be hay, both native and al
,falfa, for which there is great demand
as winter feed for cattle and sheep
that have the large range to feed on
during the summer months. Alfalfa
produces with water three crops, and
will average, it is said, at least five
tons to the acre, worth from 81 to IS
a ton in the stack. The demand for
farm and garden products is great in
this part of the state on account OF
it's proximity to the mining region Of
the Black Hills. The farm unit rec
commended under this project Is 80
acres, which will be reduced to 40
acres within three miles of towns or
proposed towns.
This project has been approved by
the secretary of the interior, who has
set aside 81, 1905 900 for it's construc-
ton. Water users will be required to
pay s32 an acre in ten annual install
ments, which sum includes mainte-
nance and operation for ten years.

AUroMoeiLlNc BAD FOR FIGURE
Makes Women Sluggish and Apt to
Take on Fat,


There used to be no greater auto
mobile enthusiast than Baroness Won
Hengelmuller, wife Of the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, but nobody
ever sees her in a "chug-chug cart"
these days. It is limited the baroness
believes there Is nothing so injurious
to the complexion, and ever to the
figure, as overindulgence in auto
driving. She found that speeding in
the open air gave a person an inordi-
nate appetite, and then made one feel
drowsy. In fact, it meant no exercise
and far too much eating and sleeping.
AS a result the waist got out of the
accepted lines and the eyes grew lus-
t~erless. On the whole, the baroness
has decided that if one wishes TO re-
main beautiful, walking or riding is a
better form of locomotion. Her ideas
are beginning TO be accepted by wom-
en- who formerly spent a dozen hours
a day in their machines.-New York

be made to this concern hereafter.
Custer county micha is free from iron
and does excellent work for electrical
purposes. There are a number of ex-
cellent micha mines in Custer county.
The past year has seen very thor
ough development in the copper and
tin veins in both the southern and in
the northern hills.
The finest grade of stucco manufac-
tured in the West comes from a large
bed at Hot Springs. This bed is sew
eral hundred feet in thickness and is
i~neXhaustible. The Black Hills also
gets it's supply of plastering lime from
the different lime kiins which burn up
the lime rock found in almost every
mining camp.
Near Custer several weeks ago a
body of nickel ore was opened up and
a test was made in Omaha, showing
the values to be high enough to pay
for working. Nickel ore has also been
found ear Englewood. Another rare
mineral found in considerable guam
titles near Englewood' and also near
Sturgis is cobale. An assayer discov-
cred while making a test on some ore
for gold that the ore carried a consid-
cradle amount Of cobalt, it being much
richer in that material than in gold.
At Silver City some Ohio people
have purchased the old Steve Dryer
anthony mine which is to be develop
ed very thoroughly the next few
months. The anthony ore runs as
high as so per cent, and the vein is
thirty feet in width. 1t is also accom-
panied with gold.
The Southern Black Hills contains
more Of the rare minerals and non
metallic substances than the Northern
Black Hills. The formation is differ
ent and the time is soon coming when
some Of the most valuable rare mate
rails will be found In paying quantities
south Of the Lawrence county line.

MANY OTHER THINGS BESIDES COLD

A great deal of attention has been
shown the past year to the develop
ment and mining of materials not be-
longing to the precious metal class.
Near Hin City there is a spodumene
mine which has produced several
thousand dollars worth of rock that
has been sent to Germany for treat
nent. It produces lithia to the amount
of 8 to 5 per cent and Is considered a
valuable product. 1t is found in large
white crystals in the old Eta tin mine
and there seems to be an unlimited
amount of it.
Sixteen miles southwest Of Custer is
q tripoli mine which has been worked
almost constantly during the year by
F. C. N. Graydon, formerly of Chicago.
This is a gritless material used for
fne polishing and it has found ready
market in the East. 1t accompanies
Fuller's earth, which is also a valua-
BILE by-product. Not far from this
tripoli mine Is a Autograph stone
quarry owned by a Chicago company
which is now about to test some of the
rock for commercial purposes. There
are several lodges of this stone which
are free from grit and will stand the
finest kind of etching work.
More or less wolframite has been
mined in the Black Hills during the
past half dozen years. A new company
has just been organized ear Hill City
which has commenced the erection of
hosting works and camp buildings to
handle a large vein of this ore or a
big scale. Wolframite ore is worth
$500 to $500 per ton. Tungsten acid
Is extracted from this ore and is used
for the hardening Of steel.
Considerable micha has also been
shipped from the Southern Hills to
Eastern points. A carload was ship
ped to the Standard Oil company from
a mine near Custer last week and 1t is
expected that regular shipments will

No better object lesson of the value
Of the reclamation law as a promoter
OF substantial and permanent progress
and development is required than that
afforded by the transformation which
within a year has taken place in the
valley Of the Belle Fourche river in
South Dakota. Until a year ago last
spring the wisest inhabitant of Tat
section would never have presumed to
predict in the smallest degree the
startling changes which have occurred
since the institution of the great work
OF reclamation by the government.
Up to that time agriculture had al
Ways been subordinated to cattle
raising. Belle Fourche was rather
proud of the fact that as yet the pic
turesque cowboy still frequented the
vast range which surrounded the town
and that during the annual roundup
there was no night in Belle Fourche.
The farmer who plowed was the ex-
ception. The average farm was a
square mile fenced and a township OF
government land adjacent. Fruit and
vegetables, butter and eggs were new
er raised in sufficient quantities to sup
ply the local demand. Belle Fourche's
chief claim to distinction was that she
shipped more range cattle every year
than any other point in the United
States.
Passing Of the Big Ranch.
The knell of the big ranch, with its
broad acres untitled, has been sounded
In the valley. A new era is ~dawning;
an era of small farm units intensively
cultivated. OF compact rural settle
ments with improved schools and
churches, and with the luxuries and
refnements OF the town replacing the
isolation Of the rural farmhouse. The
farm units are 40, 80 and 100 acres,
the lesser areas being located neal the
towns.
Belle Fourche has doubled in popu-
1ation in the last two years. At no
time has there been a sufficient num-
Der of houses to accommodate the
newcomers. An electric line is built
to connect the valley with Deadwood,
opening up the rich market of the
Black Hills mineral zone. The Chica.
