BAILEY

While Paul Gebhardt left his team
standing at the postoffice door, they
became frightened for some cause,
and started on a lively jump, and
before they were captured they sue
ceeded in making kindling wood of
the buggy, but luckily doing no
other damage. 1t is a very handy
team to have on the farm, for when
they are not moving down fence
posts with new moving machine,
they are making fire wood of his
6uggies.
Mr. George Moon recently killed &
large rattle snake here. He was or
his way from his ranch to visit his
parents. when he came across hi;

work with him.

STATELANDSSELL
AT GOOD PRICES

Pierre, S. D.May 20.-The sales of
the state building lands which have
been conducted the past week in the
counties of Hyde. Hand, Faux and
Potter resulted in the disposal of
four thousand acres of the land at a
price little better than SO per acre
The sales for next week will be in
the counties of Edmundss Nc Pier
son and Sully, and it is expected that
they will result in a greater number
of sales than did those of last week.
With fair sales next week the avail
able fund will be near a quarter of a
million dollars, and with sales con-
tinuing through the summer at the
appraisal price, the sum will be very
greatly increased.

Crop Situation

Notwithstanding late spring that
has no parallel in weather records
for fifty years, the planting of crops
in Hand county is progressing better
than could have been expected.
All of the early small grains are
sown, perhaps not so large an acre
age as was intended, but fairly
representative crop. The grain is
up in many fields, and appears to be
strong and healthy, due to deep root
ing.
The work of corn planting is now
being pushed vigorously, and the
acreage promises to be as large as
that of last year. If, as anticipated,
warm weather comes on more sud-
denly than usual, the crop will re-
spond accordingly and show rapid
growth.
The seasons backwardness tends
more to the planting of feed stuffs,
and an increase in acreage of speltz,
millet, etc.
An unusual amount of new ground
is being broken UP this spring, by
both steam power and horse power,
which is to be sown to flax.
With favorable season from now
on there is no reason why Hand
county may not turn out a very sat
isfactory crop.

CEMENT BLOCKS
FOR BUILDING
Factories at Work on this New
Material

L. M. Dunn has begun the manu-
facture of cement blocks in Miller,
having two men now engaged in the
work with a good start of blocks on
hand.
1t has been generally predicted
that cement would be largely used
as substitute for both lumber and
and brick, but for some reasons
there is hesitancy upon the part of
builders to use it. Perhaps this is
due to the usual prejudice against
new things. to the lack of men famil-
lar with cement, to the cost of it, or
to fear that it is not permanent.
These things will be overcome in
time, because there is little doubt
that cement is about as permanent
as stone if properly made.
The use of cement for building
purposes is an experiment here. and
people nave watched ltWlth interest.
Perhaps the oldest building is the
James Loomis blacksmith shop, put
up last year in st. Lawrence. 1t APP
pears to stand the test, and Mr.
LOOMS expresses entire satisfaction
with his building.
Pitzer & Magness have erected a
real estate office on the west side of
main street in st. Lawrence. of
cement blocks. The foundation is
also being put in for another cement
block building adjoining for the
First State bank.
These cement block factories are
springing up all over the state, and
promise to cut quite a figure in flu.
ture building operations.
