Production of Aruon.

The Paris chemist, Henri Moissan,,
aided by another chemist, has found
new method for producing argon. the
component part of the atmospheric air,
the discovery of which by Lord Ray
leigh and Professor Ramsay some
years ago created quite sensation
The gas argon is contained in very in
finitesimal quantities in the air, and
on account Of the difficulty Of obtain
ing it, it could never be thoroughly ex-
amined Mcissan obtains it from the
air by passing the same through a red
hot tube filled with spirals Of copper.
In this manner the oxygen of the air
b is taken UP and the gas emanating
from the tube consists of nitrogen and
argon The nitrogen is then taken up
for the most part by mixture of mag
nesium and lime, and the remainder
by calcium heated to red heat. In
i this manner it has been possible to
obtain quart of argon. in one day.
Thus way has been found to examine

Nugget Jewelry.

Of his scheme that he has had it
patented at Washington and proposes

A Cane-UmbrelIa.

There lives in the little town OF
Simpsonville, Tex, q young lady
whose name may be inscribed on a
roll in the hall of fame some day, and
all because she has solved one of the
great popular problems of the day.
One of the most aggravating expert.
ences of modern civilization is to go
out with an umbrella believing that
there is to be rain, and after Juggling
the thing about all the morning, or
all the afternoon, or perhaps all day,
come home without having even a
suspicion for using it. Generally we
profit by this experience the next
time it is cloudy by leaving the UNI
brella at home and receive as our re-
ward good drenching.
The lady in question has invented
an umbrella cane. This is contriv
ance embodying the two in one. The
umbrella is rolled tight and fitted
snugly in long tubular receptacle,
which is surmounted with pretty
handle and makes an admirable cane.
No one, of course, objects to carry.
ing cane while walking, and if it
insures protection from rain its desir
ability is increased immeasurably.

Fine Feeding Farms.
But it is the average man who is en-
gagged in mixed farming who has
smaller number of cattle who secures
the largest amount of profit on the
amount invested. He has no more ex-
pense, his losses are practically nil,
and with his milk, calves and hogs,
his sources of income are many, and
as he has Increased his income he has
improved his stock and made it more
valuable. All possible varieties are
produced, but the breeds producing a
combination of beef and milk strain
are mostly in demand, and the con-
slant introduction of new thorough
bred bulls of the finest types has had
the effect Of placing the South Da-
kota herds above the average.
In times past the producers in the
north and eastern parts of the state
sold much of their stock to Iowa feed
ers, who reaped financial harvest in
their purchases. But to-day corn is
produced, and protitably so, in South
Dakota, and there ara many fine feed
ing farms throughout the state
Stock raising is a leading industry,
and the man with one COW is in the
business with the greatest possibii-
ties, and with common COW sense, can
accumulate a fortune
The days of sunshine, the nutritious
grasses, water, accessibility to mar
kets, make it an ideal place to produce
stock, and it specially appeals to the
man of limited means, where he can
make his start and his small shipment

Great for Sheep.
Joseph E. Wing of Ohio, foremost
feeder and writer on sheep, when ask
ed where he got his best feeders, re-
piled, From Dakota" The Live Stock
Report, a leading authority on such
matters, says: For ten years South
Dakota has been sending us our best
sheep, beef and mutton"
AS a feeding and finishing ground
y,
South Dakota has no equal Looked
at from all sides, for either feeding or
growing mutton sheep, South Dakota
has few equals and no superior. Our
native resources along these lines, it
certainly would be hard to overesti-
mate; our cool, dry climate, light
snowfall and absence of long seasons
of wet and wind combine to make our
endless rolling prairies ideal sheep
walks.
With lands fast going up in price,
and beef and mutton following, as they
always do, South Dakota's cheap
lands certainly hold out great induce
ments to those who contemplate turn
ing their attention to mutton produc-
ton.

BIZ GREAT BANANA.
Butter Industry Is Assuming Large
Proportions in Clark County.

The creamer yproposition in Clark
county has grown to one of immense
proportions and is proving a great
bonanza to the many patrons. The
fact that thousands of dollars per
month is being distributed in this sec
ton by the creamery at this point is
responsible for the fact that the far
mer is getting to be recognized as
the moneyed man Of to-day
The banks of Clark boast of having
a deposit that aggregates about $780,
900. No small figure for this season
of the year The usual custom in
years vast was to borrow all one
could get with the hope that the crop
would pan out enough to make good
when fall came. Conditions are diff
ferent now, and even the talk and
strong inducements put up by the
cold storage houses of the city are
not sufficient to make the farmer de-
sert his home creamery.

From this, handful by handful, he
