trate 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 America
Thousands of acres of land are roved
over NY 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
is abundantly watered, the climate de-
lightfnl, these grasses are never de-
stroyed save by fire, but the influx of
tically prevented this calamity for all
time. Cattle can feed 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 Da-
kota, and it is due to these grasses and
the healthful climate that hog cholera
is an unknown quantity in the great
state of South Dakota.
On this account the hog industry in
South Dakota has reached such pro-
portions as to endangel the standing of
other states in regard to the number of
hogs on the hoof shipped to various
sections of the country. This fact, com
bined with the immense quantity of
corn grown in South Dakota, and its
value, in polishing off, so to speak,
hogs for market, has made packers look
upon South Dakota 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 num-
Der of cattle shipped out Of the state on
the hoof for foreign markets, has placed
South Dakota in an enviable position
as a cattle state. Herbert Vanderhoot

A Record Breaker.

James +. Hyde, of Lincoln, Illinois,
the father of our enterprising towns
man, Chas. L. Hyde. is here with his
wife, Hattie l., Hyde, visiting at their
sons home for few days, This man
is certainly a remarkable character.
He is city auditor of Lincoln, place
of more than 10000 population, also
deputy cit treasurer and deputy tax
collector He handles all the money
and finances of the city, issuing all
warrants and paying same, and hand
ling the entire financial affairs of Lin
coin. He is also treasurer of the Street
Railway company and handles all the
money and finances of the corporation.
He is also head bookkeeper for the
largest mercantile establishment there,
making their monthly trial balances
regularly for the last twenty five years,
and keeping their bank accounts.
This man puts in ten or twelve hours
at his work and official duties every day
the year round, except when he takes a
two weeks vacation off in the summer
each year.
The remarkable feature of this mans
life is the fact that he is SO years of
age, in fact, will soon be 81. He is
active and energetic and was seen climb
ing up the ladders and over The third
story Of the large Office building his
son is erecting in Pierre, on Capitol
avenue, the same as a young man of 90
would do. He does not carry a cane
nor wear glasses except when at close
work. He lives temporarily, being a
total abstainer from stimulating drinks
and using but very little meat in his
diet. Mr.. Hyde is as leyel-headed and
clear cut in his conversation as any
young man could be and seems to us
the most remarkable exhibition Of
active longevity that we have ever seen.
We doubt if the world can produce his
equal in many respects The Free
Press wishes Mr.. Hyde many more
years of active prosperity and we hope
his youngest son, Chas. l.. Hyde, will
live to be as old as his venerable father,
who is fifty years his senior. We feel
certain Pierre will make greater city
than the most optimistic now anticipate
if Chas l.. Hyde can continue to work
as energ tically for the interests Of
Pierre for the next fifty years as he has
in the last fifteen.
