Surrounding the building floats
the American flag, and in addition
to it is a bull presented bv p. r.

they would have money left to have

WicShem said that building would
never be dedicated without the bull
flying from the staff and at his own
expense he had a timer in Alexan-

Connecting With Good Towns.

In commenting on ali article repro
duced from the columns of The Re-
publican in the Hot Springs Star
concerning the extension of the Mil
waukee road west of Chamberlain,
the Star has the following in its re-
cent issue relating to the new neigh
bors which will be made by tae ex-
tension, and Mitchell feels highly
complimented to be taken in on such
neighhorly terms as are presented
not only by Hot Springs but other
good cities in the Hills country:
The Black bills isn't caring par
tlcularly which railroad wins the
race across the te,-though the
Moth western seldom comes out sec
ond in such race-but is very much
deliRhted that it will not he long
before both will be completed.
The Milwaukee railroad will be an
entirely new connection and will
bring the Hills in closer touch with
CONN unities and towns with which
relations have been rather distant.
The Milwaukee reaches some of the
most prosperous and growing towns
of the state, which viii be brought
into direct business relations with
the Hills. Mitchell, for instance, is
considered q Of the most promis-
ing cities of the state-in fact is al
ready q of the best-and the Mil
waukee extension will tend to more
closely cement the business aud
friendly relations of that city with
those Of the Black Hills towns. re-
sultfng in mutual. benefit. This rail-
way building Is going to transform
business. as well as social and politi-
cal, conditions in South Dakota and
will enhance and build up the vest
ern portion OF the state quickly ana
wonderfully. It is a great thing for
the Black Hills; it is an immense
thing for the whole state.

Chamberlain advised buying an 1900
pound mare in preference to one
weighing 1900 pounds. They cost a
little more but they will make you
more money. He says you can't 20
wrong on the breeds, and to select
any Of the draft breeds that you
fancy the most.
Mr.. Crow i'm his address said that
this is a f%lattering audience, for it
shows that your PRESIDENT was cor.
rect when lie said about three years
ago that the stock men of South Da-
lota needed such an organization.
The growth of this association is
phenomenal. The poultry association
has also made a wonderful growth
anc there are now six poultry as
sociations in South Dakota. Mr..
Grow gave many figures taken from
the census Of 1900 showing the wealth
derived from he poultry industry in
the United States. He said that it
would take a train of cars extending
from the Gulf of Mexico to Mitchell
to haul the egg production for one
year in the United States.
The hen of today, he said, lays an
egg every three days or so eggs a
year. The improved poultry %associa-
tion is aiming to produce a hen that
will lay 240 eggs in a year. as farm
ers MIR. Crow thinks that we should
urge upon the trustees OF the agrl-
cultural college at %Brookings the
Importance of Establishing a poultry
experiment station. The college can
never fulfill its full mission until such
a station is established.

the MORNING SESSION
Messrs. Chamberlain and Grow Talked
on Interesting Subjects to
the stockmsn.

At the session of the Improved
Live Stock Association in the club
rooms Thursday two strong ad-
dresses we're presented, A. E. Cham.
berlain, of Howard, speaking on
"How to Best Improve Horse Breed
ing ia South Dakota" and j. N.
Grow, secretary of the Progressive
Poultry Journal, discussed the elm
portance of Standardized Poultry to
South Dakota Farmers
Mr.. Chamberlain in his address pre-
sented many matters of interest to
the men who are raising horses. He
said that he would never advise
farmers to go to a stallion barn in
the east and buy a horse that is
I've or eight years old, for there is
some bad reason for a horse of that
age being in the barn for sale. If you
go to the barn to buy a horse buy a
young one. A good way for the
farmers to buy a stallion is to go into
a community where a stallion has
been used, where you can see the
k ind of colts he produces and in
purchasing your stallion in this way
you know what you are buying.
The farmer is the only man who
can protitably raise draft horses. A
farmer can own two or four thorough
bred mares and can raise colts from
them and with proper care they can
be worked at the the same time.
When buying a brood mare Mr..

TUESDAY afternoon Governor Elrod

OF the stock association paid a visit to

pleasant half hour in viewing the

Hon. o. l.. Branson concluded the

address on 1.-The Live Stock Indus
try and its Influence on the Future
Of south Dakota" Mr.. BransOn
said that the gentlemen present here
tonight have done more to build up
the live stock industry Of the state
than all others. We might 20 back
to those days when the farmers were
discouraged. when the days were
dark but the breaking OF daylight
began to appear and tonight the
whole heavens are bright with pros
periuy. You have seen the change.
You are more responsible than all
Others for the transformation. Yours
is the greatest industry in the
WIN. ~ IGAIlOdOo ulSC LullllUuS
Of dollars Of property and a thou
sands of employees, the great Stand
ard Oil Co. has branches in all parts
of the world, the great waterways
float the flags of all nations, but
greater than all of these is the live
stock industry. You have the honor
of representing the greatest single
industry IN the wolrd.
The live stock industry in South
Dakota amounts to S3S, 600, 900 and
the feeds raised on South Dakota
farms amounts 500, 600. 600. The live
stock industry of South Dakota
benefits the seller, the merchant,
the banKer,::the railroads and the
professional men. OF all men in our
state you should be encouraged. Any
man who raises a hard against you
is not a friend OF mine You have
had some help from the legislature
and you should have more. My advice
to you would be that you convert
everything raised onsthe farm into
meat and to get the greatest price
fol the meat by raising the stock.

BIRDS ON EXHIBITION
Poultry Show Opened at Noon Today
With a Very Fine Assert.
ment of Birds.

In the six years that the State
Poultry Show has been held in Mitch

hibition, nor were they ever displayed
in u more commodicus building than
the auditorium OF the city hall.
Late Monday afternoon and in the
evening practically the last Of the
birds arrived and the hall was nearly
filled with coops. Long rows of
benches extending across the hall
afford a fine place to display the birds
and every inch Of space will be oc-
cupied. Secretary Scallin stated that
one Thousand entries had been re-
ceived and birds are on exhibition
from Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa
and South Dakota. presenting the
best strains of those four states.
The doors of the seventh annual
exhibition were opened at noon Tues
day, when everything was practically
ready for the big affair. The coops
ale arranged neatly and the wide
aisles give the visitors a splendid OPP
portunity to inspect the birds. The
birds are arranged according to their
classes and nearly every department.
