E. w. Small of Webster City is taking

Gently made Mr.. Small says the in
terror and appliances of the typical
slaughter house are rarely if ever
washed, the walls being covered with
blood, grease and filth, which at this
season of the year attract and breed
swarms of flies. Adjoining the house
are the cattle and pig pens, deep with
manure, the whole being an ideal
breeding place for disease.
Small says the stock yards at rail-
road stations, while either white
washed or painted in many cases, are
usually dirty and in condition to
spread contagious disease among
healthy cattle ready for shipment. He

many meat markets are often quite
at variance with the apparent cleanli-
ness in front of the counters.
To correct this carelessness on the
part OF many meat dealers the COM
missioner is calling upon the chair
men Ct the boards of health of the

to enforce rigidly all rules as to SAM
tation. All buildings in which meat is

are corralled must be regularly
inspected and cleaned. Small says

Are the Two Greatest Crops-catte Industry Growing.

necessary to the successful growing
OF crops. Then there is rainfall suf1i-
Gent to help along the growth Of the
crops.
Yield for One Year.
To show the reader what the state
can produce, I present table Of sta
tistics for 1905. as compiled by the
State Historical society of South Da-
kota the table comprising the number
OF bushels of grain grown in the state:
Wheat, 100000 bushels; corn, 3d.
100000 bushels: oats, 100000 bush
els; barley, 22,00o0o0 bushels; spelt,
100000 bushels; flax and rye, 2O00,-
600 bushels; potatoes, garden truck
and fruits, financial value, 100000
This table in itself serves to illustrate
the great fertility of the soil of South
Dakota.
Another great industry Of the state
is cattle raising. Back east you hear
stories OF the great cattle ranges Of
the West. but the cattle ranges Of
South Dakota are the finest in Ameri-
ca. Thousands of acres of land are
royed over by the sleek, fat cattle and
sheep that feed the country. The
grasses Of South Dakota are especially
adapted to the feeding Of cattle, for
they are nutritious and sweet
According to the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, there are
some $50 varieties of grasses found in
South Dakota, ranging in length from
six inches to eight feet. AS the soil
OF the state is abundantly watered, the
climate delightful, these grasses are
never destroyed save by fire, but the
influx Of immigration into the state
has practically prevented this calam-
ity for all time. Cattle can feast upon
these grasses almost the whole year
round, and even after snow falls they
nose their way down to the grass and
feed upon it. These grasses account
for the high value of the cattle grown
in South Dakota, and it is due to
these grasses and the healthful eli
mate that hog cholera is an unknown
quantity in the great state of South
Dakota.
On this account alone the high in
dustry In South Dakota has reached
such proportions as to endanger the
standing of other states in regard to
the number of hogs on the hoof ship
ped to various sections of the coun-
try. This fact, combined with the i'm
mense quantity of corn grown in
South Dakota, and its value in polish
ing off, so to speak, hogs for market,
has made packers look upon South Da-
kota hogs as choice articles, and they
are willing to pay high prices for
them. Since the influx of travellers
into South Dakota, the hog industry
has been on the increase. and this,
together with the immense number of
cattle shipped out. of the state on the
hoof for foreign markets, has placed
South Dakota in an enviable position
as cattle state.-Vanderhoo in Min
neapolis Journal.

JUDGE MARSHALL A REBATER!

MENT TALK.

Milwaukee, July 22.-Justice Roujet
ID. Marshall of the supreme court OF
Wisconsin is the high court official re-
ferred to in Thursdays proceedings of
the Wisconsin legislative life insur-
ance Investigating committee, when
State Manager j. G. Albright of the
Union Central Life Insurance compa-
ny OF Cincinnati produced correspond
ence showing that supreme court of
fetal asked that the life insurance
agents commission for collection OF
the premium on his policy be paid to
him.
The authenticity of the correspond
ence was vouched for by Justice Mar
shall over the long-distance telephone
yesterday. The justice, however,
thought there was nothing irregular in
any of the letters.
i defy any one to read into my let
ter any demand or request for any re.
bate or allowance other than the usual
collection fee allowed agents who
handle premium renewals declared
Justice Marshall.
The disclosures were the subject OF
conversation very generally yesterday
and rumors of all sorts filled the air.
impeachment proceedings were limited
at in some quarters, but the members
of the insurance Investigating commit
tee scoffed at any such proposition
The very worst construction that
can be placed on the incident" said
one of the committee els that a ind ea
attempted to find a lawful way in
which the law might be evaded and
suggested it to the agent. There is
absolutely nothing upon which any
criminal action can be based.
This incident, however, shows
how far-reaching the practice of re-
batting is and the apparent uselessness
OF trying to correct the evil by law.
The only way I can suggest for rene
dying the evil is by cutting down the
agents commissions SO that they can.

RIGHT OF WAY.
Mysterious Railroad Agents in Clay
County,


A report is in circulation at Yer
million that the prospects are good for
another line Of railway being built
soon through Clay county. Farmers
say an agent recently has been among
them in an effort to determine what
obstacles would be found in the way
of getting a right Of way. Although
the agent would not announce the
name of the corporation for whom he
is working, there are those who sur
mise that the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St Paul is interested.
According to the railroad represent
tative, his company has plans for
something big in the way of railway
building He intimated that it was
desired to lay track through the coun-
ties of Union, Clay, Yankton, Hutchin-
son, Dawson, Aurora, Buffalo, Hyde,
Sully Potter and Walworth. The
starting point will be near Westfeld.
Iowa, and the terminus at Evarts. The
Milwaukee company controls the stu
alton at both places, and this is given
as the principal reason for the belief
that this company and no other is in
terested in another line.
