Yellow Fever Epidemic.

Yellow fever is described by the doc.
tors as specific infections disease
contracted by exposure to infected To-
calities and is characterized by single
febrile paroxysm OF short duration and
by q tendency to passive hcmorrhages
from mucous surfaces, especially from
the stomach, producing black vomit.'"
The disease is unknown in Asia, Is
only occasionally seen in southern
Spain and Portugal. and on the west
coast OF Africa. The American trop-
les and sub-tropics are the stamping
ground OF the malady. Inhabitants of
this country north of the Gulf states
need have little fear OF yellow fever, al
though small epidemics have occurred
in Atlantic seaboard cities as far north
as Boston and in the Mississippi val
ley up to St. Louis.
The most malignant forms of the dis
ease were found In Cuba until the
American occupation conquered the
pestilence there.
The great yellow fever opidemics in
the United States were In 1873. 1897,
1898, 1902. 1853. 1867, 1879 and 1878.

FOLKLORE OF THE ESKIMO.

which reflect with remarkable faithful
ness the social condition and religious
beliefs of the people. They treat OF
visits to fabulous tribes, of murder
and revenge. Of mercy and recon-.
pense of feats of shamanism and of
witchcraft. The supernatural enters
nto them, but only as it enters into
he everyday life of the people, to
whom witches, guardian spirits of
;hamans. giants and dwarfs are exist
ing realities. In this sense most of
he Eskimo tales are true tales taken
from life and show a great lack of i'm
ieinative power.
Setting aside this group OF hero
Iales. there remain only a few entire.
y disconnected myths. One OF them
iells how woman was mutilated by
her father, who cut Off her finger
Joints one after the other. From
these joints originated the sea NAM
mails and the woman became their
mistress. Another myth tells OF the
origin of sun and moon, who in the
beginning We're human beings, a
brother and sister. and who were
taken up 10 the sky.

Tuesday With the Bookings
Agricultural College.

There was more or less anxiety
among the football enthusiasts of
this city with reference to the result
of the game between Vermillion and
the Brookings agricultural college
team. which was played Tuesday
afternoon at Brookings. Mitchell
beat Brookings several weeks ago by
a score of "a to O. There was some
hope that Bookings would score and
perhaps beat out Vermillion, which
would leave the question OF champ
ionship unsettled among the colleges.
Bro0kings, it is said, had strength
ened up somewhat for the contest
with Vermillion and that they felt as
il they had a good show to win the
game. At the end of the first half
the score stood Vermillion 6, Brook
ings 0. In the second halt Vermilllon
evidently vent after the farmer boys
with greater strength, for they scored
two touch downs and kicked goal
once. The score at the end of the
game was 4! to o.
Having defeated Mitchell and
Brookings it gives Vermillion the
championship OF the state.

INSTITUTE CLOSES
Last Session Held Friday Afternoon.
Farmers Did Not Turn Out
in oarge Numbers.
in oarge Numbers.

&c. wfEFaSf@
At the closing sessionof the Farm
iers' Institute Friday Afternoon Prof.
Cole and NJ n. Greeley gave short
talks, Prof Cole giving a few min
utes tosthe raising of corn. Its his
belief that seed COR should never be
brought from the south to the north,
for corn has to run asIace with frost
at the best and WI cannot afford to
handicap it by introducing southern
grown seed which requires longer
time to ripen. For the western por-
tons OF the state he strongly recon-
mends surface cultivation ane a
greal deal Of it, II you wish to raise
large crops Of corn.
Mi. Greeley occupied a few mia
utes to speak OF crop rotation, and
hesaid he regretted it exceedingly
that he did not have two hours for
the subject. This is avery impor-
tant thing with the farmer and ii
he willSgiseHH careful attention he
will find that it will pay him
abundantly. Mr.. Greeley is not an
advocate Of summer blowing, for the
corn crop takes Its pace.
Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws occupied
the greater part OF the session in an
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1905-11-24

address OF the cooking and prepara-
tion Of foods. She used a great. many
maps and charts in illustrating her
talk. and we only wish that every
housekeeper could have been present
to hear her, for they could have re-
ceived many helpful ideas.
Mrs. Laws made one statement
which some may not helieve. tut we
believe that il is true, and THAT is,
that the Kitchen, is the most impor-
tant workshop in the world, and on
the other hand it is the most poorly
furnished workshop in the world.
This. she said. is partly the woman's
fault. Some have the idea that the
Kitchen must be large. That this is
entirely wrong she gave as an in
stance the kitchen in the great
steamer Baltic, in which she sailed
home from Europe last year. There
were $3.50 persons on board but yet
all meals and a even course dinner
were prepared every day in a kitchen
of just three little rooms. But it. is
necessary to have handy and CON
venient things in the kitchen to
work with. Mrs. Laws believes that
we are getting far away from the
simple cooking methods Of our
grandmothers and nowadays sc
much more stress is placed on the
looks and taste in food than, the
amount of nourishment it contains
which is far more Important.
The institute had to be closed
rather hurriedly which, Mr.. Greeley
said, he regretted very much. The
attendance at Mitchell, he said, had
been the smallest which they have
received at any place in the state but
the quality of the audience lad never
been exceeded.
The farmers of Dawson county
and every one interested in the
home. the city, the farm and our
state are making a great mistake
when they do not make an effort to
attend these institutes. 1t is a busy,
time we know but the benefits which
may be derived by taking advantage
OF the great expense which the;
state and the government is going
TO, in promoting agriculture, will IA
hundred times repay the Gay or two
in time which may be lost. The
men who conduct these institutions
are men Of brains, whose lives have
been spent in this work.
Next year when the institute, is
held here we hope that the farmers
will turn out in far.ereater numbers
