Charles S. Kelsey Of Springfield, the
famous seller of pure bred cattle, was
in Canton last week making arrange
ments for the big sale OF pure bred
cattle to be held at Canton on Friday
Nov. 10. MI. Kelsey says the farmers
Of South Dakota are just beginning
to realize that there is big money In
raising pure bred cattle. In 1904 Mr..
Kelsey sold 872 pure breeds, and all
were South Dakota cattle with the
exception q about $50. Up to the
present time this year he has sold
694 pure breeds, and all were South
Dakota cattle with the exception of
about 14O. He has two more sales for
this month, and five sales for Novem-
Der including the big sale at Canton
ON the 10th. He has also three sales
booked for December. Mr.. Kelsey Is
one Of the most enthusiastic cattle
men in the state, and has been a
lover of cattle and horses since he was
big enough to drive a COW. He comes
by his love for cattle naturally and
nothing, III his sye, LOOKS f.iei on tflo
farm than thorough bred cattle,
horses, hogs and sheep. He says that
South Dakota is bound to be n OF
the greatest cattle states In the I'm
ion, and 1t will no be many years
until the progressive South Dakota
cattle men sell In other states, because
South Dakota breeders are taking
advantage of the opportunities now
being offered them to start early In
this money making business. Over at
Springfield where MI. Kelsey lives,
he has fine 8 library of cattle books as
can be found any where, and can
furnish the pedigree Of all registered
cattle In the United States He
keeps q stenographer constantly en-
ployed and a furnish a pedigree on
short notice. He is doing a great
work for the breeders OF cattle and
none will appreciate his work 50 we'll
as these who have commenced to
raise pure breeds in place of scrubs.
Mr.. Kelsey says that the Canton sale
will convince many of the advantages
in breeding something worth big
money.
We keep all sizes of window glass,
and sell Eigin and Waithan watches
for less money than any n else.

Handsomely Trimmed Stores.

The windows and stores of Milford
are telling Of the Christmas Holidays,
and this year the display is far better
than for many seasons. A glance at
the store of Mrs. Reedy is a real delight
10 those who appreciate blending of
eolors into beautiful effects, while the
goods shown are Of the handsomest that
art can produce. This applies to the
large department stores of c. D. Abbott
& Co., George Fl. Hall, Mark L.. Davis,
Gardeners, Deputy & Bro, Humes &
Son, Pierce & Carmean and others. It
is worth a visit to Milford to see the
stores alone and shoppers will surely
have opportunity to select handsome
presents.

YE OLDE FOLKES'
SOCIAL A SUCCESS.

Ye Olde FOlkes' Social that was given
for the benefit of the Methodist Episco.
pal Sunday School on Thanksgiving
evening was a great success, although
the "old folkes" with one or two exeep.
tiOns, failed to make connections in
time to participate in the program as
expected. Great credit should be given
the young people who made the enter
tainment so pleasant, and carried out
the program with so much ability. Mil
ford should take great pride in the fact
that a tramp" could not be found
within her limits, although ''great was
the search" One had to be imported
from Pennsylvania for the occasion.
This tramp" met all the requirements
at an hours potice, and gave proof of
the ready adaptibility and willingness
to oblige, which come from contact
with a sister State. Every body had a
good time and the Sunday School netted
about thirty-five dollars.

Want to Put Gas in Milford.

A party in Philadelphia desires Ia
have the privilege of laying pipes for
gas through the streets of Milford pro.
vided, that fifty or more persons signify
their intention to use the gas for heat
ing or cooking purposes. They recog-
nize the improbsbility of getting light.
ing of either streets or residences; be
cause the town owns the electric light
and it is already in general use; but
they believe that the consumption Of
gas for cooking in the summer and
heating in the winter, will be sufficient
to pay the interest on the cost Of install.
lation. They are willing to make the
experiment provided they can get the
franchise from the town. There is a
general use Of gasoline for cooking in
Milford, and the cost of gas would not
be any more than the cost of wood at
present prices for heating purposes. IfI
every person who would like to have
this convenience and Will pledge them
selves to use it, will leave their names
at the First National Bank with Mr..
Isaac S. Truitt some idea can be had as
10 what can be done in the winter.

Fine Delaware Grown White Potatoes.

This past season George S. Avery has
grown fine crop of white potatoes on
his farm just south OF Milford, which is
better known as the Cuykendall farm.
He has 1000 baskets Of fine sized Crown
Jewel potatoes, which are bright and
smooth as any ever grown. He grew
them from Virginia grown seed of last
year, and they were dug in JUly last,
and he has held them for an advance
in price ever since. They have kept
fine, and the present price Of potatoes
has amply paid him for his extra care
in keeping them. He grew them with
phosphate, George f. Pierce's Special
Potato Phosphate, at the rate of 1000
pounds per acre. He expects to plant
ten acres this coming season, and will
use the same kind of seed also the
same kind Of phosphate, only more of
It to the acre. The specimen basket
that Mr.. Avery left at the Chronicle
office certainly was a beautiful sample
