A striking difference between our
manners and those of our English
cousins was shown one day at a gar
den party. The hostess. an American,
was speaking to one Of her guests, an
Englishwoman OF rank.
"Dear Lady b." she said. here are
some sandwiches which | made with
my own hands, particularly for you
You know I've often told you about
our American sandwiches and how
good they are. Here are different
sorts, lettuce and cucumbers. II you

pimentoes I've some sweet ones. too.

She held plate in each hand, a
plate filed with dainty looking sand
witches. and they were extended irvit-
ingiy toward her guest. who looked at
them critically. then said IN the clear.
high pitched voice of the well bred
Englishwoman:

each day of the year. and this pro-
vides some exercise for the horse.
which keeps him in good physical con-
dition.
There is an unlimited market for
high class draft horses, just the kind
that dairy farmer could raise if he
would breed the right kind of animals.
The people who use draft horses in the
city are willing to pay long prices for
them If they can only get the kind
they want. The horse weighing 1000
pounds, out of ordinary stock, sells at
a comparatively low price, but team
well matched, sound and with good
action and weighing from 5000 to
1000 pounds sells quickly and at an ex-
ceptionally high price.
1t seems to us that most dairymen
are so situated that they could raise
at least one good team of drafters
each year and would scarcely feel the
time and money spent in producing
them, says Hoards Dairyman.
What is needed Is team or two of
well bred mares, not necessarily pure
bred, but animals of good size, strong
bones and well matched. If they be
grade Percherons, breed them to the
best Percheron stallion within reach;
IL they are Clydes, use a Clyde sire.
Do not crossbreed, for it is just as
ruinous practice in the breeding of
good horses as 1t is in the breeding
of good cows. Aim to get well
matched teams, strong bones. sound
and with good action, and q ready
market will always be found at good
prices for such kind of horses.

The
Dairynlar,

Dairy farming is increasing in AZ
most every section of the couAtrT,
largely because 1t is recognized as onr
of the most economical forms of agri
culture where preservation of soil fer
tility is considered. Opportunities fer
dairying are found everywhere In the
United States. The different sections
Of the country have characteristic Pc
culiarities, but all need milk and its
products. Success awaits the dairy
man who fits his work to the con
1itions of the place in which he lives.
He should know the vaiue of good
dairy COW and how to treat her. He
should recognize the necessity of
cleanliness from the time the milk
leaves the udder until the finished
product is I'm the hands of the con-
sumner He should know and meet the
needs of his market.
Horses on the Dairy Farm.
On every dairy farm there are sew
eral horses kept to do the necessary
farm work and hauling stuff to and
from the city. During most of the
year work is rather light on a dairy
farm as compared with other kinds of
work that the horse is called upon to

NOT ELECTRIFYING

Pursuant to it's set purpose to win
by deception the "reform" press
bureau is now working overtime
sending out exaggerated accounts oil
Governor Crawford's political meet.
ings. The fact is Mr.. Crawford is
drawing fair crowds, but that the
country is going wild over him or
that unbounded enthusiasm is Gre
ated by his speeches is sheer non.
sense. In fact the lack of enthus.
iasm is conspicuous and altogether
disappointing to his followers. The
bureau had it, for instance, that the
governor electrified the people OF
Stanley county in recent meeting
at Fort Pierre. OF this meeting the
Pierre Capital-Journal says;
Governor Coe l. Crawford talked
in Waldron's barn in Ft. Pierre last
night to about 100 people. The
meeting was presided over by John
+. Hughes. The room was very
chilly and the women and children
present were not very enthusiastic,
neither were the few men. In fact
a barn is rather poor place to get
up much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Crawford confined his speech
to Mr.. Kittredge and the railroad,
but he failed to explain why bank
stock was reduced, although he did
acknowledge that Jim Elliott, one OF
the present high priests of insur-
gentism, was in the unholy contract
Of 1897.
Admit that the Capital-Journal
is strongly anti Crawford, and admit
for the sake of argument that its
report OF the Fort Pierre meeting
may not be altogether unbiased;
then dip literally into mathematics,
multiply the Capital Journals report
of the attendance by two and
decrease the chilliness 80 per cent
The result brings out very o-di-
nary meeting with very ordinary
crowd, and that in all probability is
what the Fort Pierre meeting
amounted to.
Mr.. Crawford is not electrifying
anybody any more. The people are
getting onto his curves. This
expression sounds harsh, but there is
no temper behind it, nothing but
intimate knowledge Of the man and
his ways: Mr.. Crawford is the big
gest fraud that ever entered public
life in South Dakota. He is trying
to gain public place by fraud and
deceit 20 palpable to those who know
him that they are aghast at the mans
temerity. Aberdeen News.
