1t is not generally known that bees
are swifter In flight than pigeons that
is, for short distances. Some years
ago pigeon fancier Of Hamme, West
phalla, laid a wager that a dozen bees
liberated three miles from their hives
would reach home in less time than a
dozen pigeons. The competitors were
given wing at Rybern, village nearly
a league from Hamme. and the first bee
reached the hive quarter OF a minute
in advance Of the first pigeon. Three
other bees reached the goal before the
second pigeon. The bees were also
slightly handicapped, having been rolled

PRODUCE FABULOUS WEALTH
Wilson Makes His Annual
Report Showing What the Farm.
crs Have Accomplished.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 16.-The
annual report of the secretary of
agriculture, laid before congress to-
day, covers 1856 closely printed pages
and every line of it is gloat. There
never was such another man as
James Wilson to brag about the
farmers, and this year more thar
ever before he gives all the glory
to the horny handed.
In 1908 the farmers of the United
States have produced an output val
ued on the farm at the colossal total
of $%7,77S,0oO, 900, a gain of $780,
O00,0 over 1907. Since 1896 the
wealth produced on the farms of the
United States has exceeded $50, OOO,-
OO0, 1000.
But the loudest gloat is about
corn. Indian corn. Corn is king,
according to the gospel of the secre-
tary of agriculture. In four months
this summer the farmers of the coun-
try raised 2,643, 900. 900 bushels of
it, valued at no less than $1,G15,-
100000. Enough" says the secre-
tary, "to pay the interest bearing
debt of the United States and to pay
for the Panama canal and fifty battle
ships BESIDES"
Compared with the average value
of the corn crop for the last five
years the crop stands 143 per cent.
That is, this years crop will bring
43 per cent more than the average
price for the past five years, although
the amount of corr raised this year
is only 2 per cent greater than the
average crop of the five-year period.
Corn is up.
Even the gentle COW and clucking
hen are not overlooked in the report.
And while the price of butter and
eggs is not quite all that the secre-
tary would like, he shows that the
COW this ear is earning close to
$SO0.000,00 and the hen over $780,
100000. Eggs and poultry COM
blned bring home as many groceries
as the entire cotton crop of the coun-
try would buy. The aggregate value
of all farm animals sold and OF all
animal products for the year up
proaches the astonishing sum of So
000, 900, more than sufficient to
by a battleship for every member of
congress, and a submarine for Mr..
Lilley of Connecticut.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Mitchell Citizen Can Afford
To Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes

Mrs. Dennis Donovan, 1903 f..
Fourth St., Mitchell. S. D., says:
My experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills has been very satisfactory. i
first began to suffer from kidney
complaint some years ago. There
was a sharp pain in my back and
loins which at times would be fol-
lowed by a dragging ache in my
limbs. Often when doing some slight
work, attacks Of dizziness would
come on me and leave me SO weak
that l would be unable to do any
thing. Finally my heart action be-
came irregular and I began to be
alarmed over my condition. 1 knew
that my kidneys were disOrdered. as
the secretions were unnatural and
caused me much distress. I had heard
SO much about Doan's, Kidney Pills,
that l procured a box. 1 received
lsuch beneficial results from the
use of this box, that l decided to pro-
cure a further supply. When I had
taken the contents of the second box.
