Stock Raising in South Dakota.

mHILE the principal industry of South Dakota is
1H1 the tillage of the soil, the live stock interests are
rapidly assuming a rank Of equal Importance
with respect to the amount of capital invested and the
revenue derived therefrom.
The immense yield of the grain crops OF South Da-
kota has been heralded far and wide and deservedly,
too; yet one must not lose sight of the fact that The live
stock interests have contributed a large share in build
ing up it's present wealth and prosperity.
1t is wish a feeling O. great satisfaction that one
observes the rapid enlargement of the live stock indus
try. There is no %aisputing the fact that there is no
state in the sunion better adapted for stock raising
either on a large or small scale than South Dakota
Nowhere n the world do the native grasses grow with
more luxuriance and richness than in South Dakota,
and the crop is h never Ealing one. The prairie is coy
cred everywhere with a luxuriant growtho of grass equal
for hay and grazing to the tame varieties of the eastern
states. These inativJ grasses cure to hay upon fhe
ground. and stock will fatten on the prairie almost as
rapidly as they do in the cast Eeeding ON grain.
There never $ been a time in the history # the
state that the prairie did not furnish an abundant sup
ply of fodder for stock. The dryer the season the better
the quality of the native grasses is the universal verdict
of all experienced stockmen.
What is known as the South Dakota range includes
all that portion west of the Missouri river and is the
section given over to the largs ranches, while the terri
tory east of the Missouri is especially adapted to- stock
ranches on a somewhat smaller scale though there are a
few large ranches in the northeastern portion of the
state.
With an abundance of good hay that can be cut and
stacked at a cost of 81. so to- $2. 90 per ton, it costs very
little for a farmer to keep a small herd of milch cows
and the growing interest among farmers in stock raising
and their appreciation of the profits to be derived from
a herd of cows has led to the establishment of a large
number of creameries and cheese factories throughout
this section of the northwest.
1t is not many yeas ago. there were literally no
hockso of sheep in this section of the country. It is true
the state was not'settled up as it is today, but there
were q number of counties along the north and north
east that were we'll settled, and although the uniform
weather and dry winter atmosphere were known to be
favorable to sheep raising and wool growing little or no
effort was made to introduce sheep. Today we have
more than q million Of sheep in the state.
"A droughty spell, a few days Of hot winds, a hail
storm, calamities that will sometimes happen to the
farmer Of any lands, may undo the labor Of a season

Simmons, Well Known
in This City.

Announcement of the death Of Max
w. Simmons, armament foreman Of
the southern district, L. S. army, has
been received by Norwood L. Holland,
resident machinist at Fort Pickens,
Fla The deceased was quite well
known in Pensacola, where he had Wis

visit being just before Christmas.
Mr.. Holland has received the fol-
lowing letter from Col. D. A. Lyle,
lieut. colonel, ordnance department, L.
S. A, who is armament officer in
charge of the southern armament dis
trict, with headquarters in Savannah:
1T is with deep regret that the arm
ament officers, southern armament dis

Ga, at 2:30 p. m. on Jan. Z. 1907, from
Bright's disease, of Max w Simmons,
ordnance department at large, drma-
ment foreman of the southern district.
Mr.. Simmons entered the service
of the ordnance department, U S

I, 1901, as ordnance machinist. He
Joined by transfer from the central
district, and passed the last 512 years
of his life in the service of the ord
nance department in this district.
He was placed in charge of all the
ordnance mechanics at work on the
armament at the sea coast fOrtifica-
lions along the South Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, was later made chief in
spector, and then promoted to arma-
ment foreman, which position he held
until his death. He brought to his du-
ties not only a thorough mechanical
training and an excellent knowledge
of gun and carriage construction, but
an extended acquaintance with the
rules, regulations and customs of the
military service which was invaluable
in facilitating the service upon which
he was engaged He was an exception
al man; clear in thought, quick in
action, resOUrceful in emergencies, &C
curate in judgment, conscientious in
all his work His knowledge, indus
try, integrity. zeal tactfulness, made
his loss an irreparable one.
His conSiderate and thoughtful dis
position, his equable temperament, his
courteous manner, his pleasing adj
dress and charming personality, en-
deared him to all who came in contact
with him. Trusted by his superiors,
respected by his comrades, and be-
loved by all honest employees under
few equals and no superiors.
THE writer mourns his loss as that
of loyal friend, who for over five
years had shared in all the hardships
and privations attendant upon ardu-
GUS service along the South Atlantic
and Gulf coasts"

ship and others on board were saved
from destruction.
For his act of heroism the govern
ment subsequently rewarded him with
promotion, and also presented him
with a medal This and several
other medals. won for deeds of hero
ism, were treasured by the deceased.
Mr.. COOney was a modest, unob-
trusive man. He never referred to
the incident on the WinslOw, and If
it were mentioned to him he would
say: oh, that's nothing; l only DID
my duty" All who knew the man
respected, honOred and admired him
for his uprightness, honesty and
moral courage. No higher tribute
could have been paid him than
the presence of his wife's sis
tiers at the funeral and their sincere
words: He was noble man"
