DRY FARM EXPERIMENTS
To Be Tried by the Government ir
South Dakota.

Belle Fourche.-The Department OF
Agriculture has decided to establish
two experimental farms in western
South Dakota, one under the national
irrigation project near this city and the
other in a non-irrigated region for the
purpose OF showing what can be ac-
oomplished in the way of dry farming.
This latter farm will be located not far
from the Cheyenne river in Fall River
county, and will demonstrate what
crops can best be grown upon such
lands and what methods are the most
successful.
Dry farming has been carried on with
great success in many parts of western
South Dakota The farm near here
will demonstrate the proper use OF
water on irrigated lands, the proper
crops to put in and the methods of cul-
tivation. Owing to the large influx OF
settlers at present from various parts
of the country, most OF whom are I'M
familiar with this section, these farms
and their demonstrations will be OF es
pecial value.

A Hint for tho
Clerks.
Pluck.


How often you hear one business
man say of another who has been sue
cessful: Amt he lucky?" Luck has
nothing 10 do with anyone's success
II Is pluck.
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
ers which make the winner. With
these two qualities, which are in
variably found together, a man will
succeed.
Business men who have achieved
greatness in their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-
iasm.
A possession that is better than any
thing else to a man is that determina-
ton of character known as pluck, and
an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds,
and to make victorious fight in the
face of almost impossibilities, it re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
age steadfastness of purpose. When
a thing Is begun it should be fin
ished.
The trouble with most of us is not
80 much that we have hard row

Close Supervision Necessary.

That such lesson may be worth
while Is suggested in the fact that
there are about $50 of these branch
houses throughout the country. Three
hundred and fifty manager are neces-
sary for their conduct, and 35 super
intendents and as many travelling au-
ditors overlook the business of these
houses between the Armour head and
the myriad details of buying and sell
ing.
The possibility of 5000 loss in each
of $50 branches is an item, even in a
business which nets 100000 or So
100000 in a year.
1t is ONLY the accurate knowledge
of Armour which saves him in these
personal rounds of inspection. There
are managers and superintendent
and travelling auditors who are touchy
enough by instinct and by training
to resent idle inquisitions of the kind.
There is no resenting the keen, clear
cut analyses of the master of great
business and of its almost infinitesi-
NAL details.
! Inere is story eXtant In which
just one man did resent the Armour
finding
He was the cashier of the Boston
branch Of the business, and he drew
one OF the big salaries on the Ar
mour rolls. One day, Unexpectedly
as usual, Armour entered the Boston
office quarter of an hour ahead of
the cashier.
Most men will admit that it isn't
pleasant experience to go to ones
office expecting to find an employee
there and who for any reason has not
yet shown up. In the height OF the
baseball season it requires an unusu.

kind of excuse for the absence.
But when man who never had any
time for society himself finds himself
