5outh Dakota city's Conditions Do Not
Differ Much from Those of Other
States, According to observa-
tions in Five Years.

Pierre. S. D., March 3.-Doane Robin
Ton has been collecting a few figures TO
show that climatic conditions at Pierre
are not so much different from those
mt other state capitals. The observa-
lions show the averages for a period
of five years, and cover the capitals Of
twelve states reaching from Albany, N.
~, west to Pierre.
The rainfall for the crop months of
the year lis shown to be IL. IA inches at
Pierre, IA inches at Albany, 10.5 inches
ut Bismarck, l4.S inches at Harrisburg,
1874 at Madison, Wis, and running from
these figures up to 1915 at Des Moines.
The annual movement Of wind in
miles for the year shows Pierre at
0.1S3; Madison, Wis, 81 .344, with AL
bany, Indianapolis and Atlanta very
little less than Pierre, indicating that
Dakota winds are but little or any Wild
er han those of the country generally.
Pierre leads all with the Number OF
clear days in the year, with the n
Exception of Bismarck, and is far ahead
Of most Of the capitals on that score.

c~ATTLEMAN DOOMED.
Buffalo Gap Man Says State Is I'm
PROVING Too Rapidly.


Sioux Falls. s.. D., March 3.-Frank NJ.
Stewart, OF Buffalo Gap. president OF the
state live stock board, Is In the city for
the purpose OF attending the semiAannual
meeting OF the association. MI. Stewart
Is also secretary OF the Southwestern
South Dakota Stockmen's association, and
occupying the position that he does knows
whereof he talks. He was quite
icative last evening TO your representative
In talking OF the cattle industry in South
Dakota. He says that the days OF tire big
cattlemen I'm this state are numbered. He
says that the big storm Of last May put
a number OF the stock men out OF business
and the building or the three lines of rail-
road across the range country will do the
best. According TO Mr.. Stewart there are
not twenty individuals or corporations In
who own more than 5000 head OF cattle.
Five years ago he says there were from
sixty TO seventy in this class. Those who
now own large herds of cattle are the
ranchers who nave leases OF large tracts
of land OF the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne reservations. He predicts that In Ave
years there will not be what Is now known
as a large cattleman ieft in the entire
state.
The big storm of last May was. the
worst ever experienced on the range so
far as damage don Mr.. stewart saws
that I'm the past Ii has been figured that
Il a ranch man had feed 10 last his cattle
10 the 18th or April he was all right but
last year disabused the ranchmen Of that
idea. They turned their cattle out the lat
ter part of April when along came the
etorm OF May Is and about fifty per cent
OF the cattle and horses in the path OF tho
storm were lost. The storm came from
the northwest 10 the southeast and COW
erred a strip about afty miles wide through
he heart OF the cattle territory.

THE MODERN HoTBEp.

To go without a hot bed on the farm is
10 miss many of the early luxuries In
vegetables which might otherwise be had.
To some the hot bed is a mystery more or
less complicated while, as a matter OF
fact, it is a simple thing easily managed
and not at all expensive. The simple hot
bed Is readily made by building a frame
of inch lumber sloping 1t to the front; the
usual bed is twelve inches at the rear and
six or eight inches in front; or, it may
be made higher so as not to necessitate
the digging of a pit for the manure and
soil. This is a matter OF choice, largely.
The bed may be made the length n
width of d single sash or arranged for

EXAMINE GRASS SEEDS.

Many grass seeds are badly mixed with,
seeds of noxious weeds and this is particu-
larry so with the seeds that arc sold at a.
low price. There is scarcely any i%nvest-i
ment that will pay one better at this par
tcular tim h a good magnifying glass
that may be bought for from one to-
two dollars. Buy the glass then get sam
pies of seeds from different seedsmen by
buying the smallest quantity they offer.
Examine these seeds carefully and If the
proportion of noxious seeds is great do not
buy the quantity necessary for seeding
from this dealer. 1t will not take one long
to see the difference between the good
n the poor seeds. 1t is especially desir-,
able that clover seeds be well examined
for there is quite likely to be considerable,
in the way of noxious seeds in clover. Do,
this now so that when the time comes TO,
buy the seeds for the main crop you will
know just where to buy them to be real
sure of pure seeds. 9
