STEAM FLOWING
BOON TO FARMERS
ONE OUTFIT CAN TURN OVER
THIRTY-SiX ACRES OF SOD
DAY.

A DAY.
Watertown, S. D., April 25.-"Steam
blowing appears to be the golden text
among the farmers of the northern
portion of South Dakota.
The demand for plows that may be
propelled by steam power, with steam
lifts, has increased amazingly the
past year, This is particularly true
with regard to that section of the
state between Waterfowl and Aber-
deem and in the region of the Missouri
river VALLEY from Chamberlain to
the northern line of the state
Not a few steam plows have also
gone into the country west of the
river to be operated in the four coun-
ties formerly known as Butte county.
between Belle Fourche and Lennon.
Others will be operated in the terri
tory embraced within the Standing
Rock and Cheyenne reservations as
to settlement, which will probably be
6lIiiPI NIe ColHIhS IAN Ol early III the
spring of 1910.
The number Of ploWs drawn by a
steam engine varies from six to
twelve, with now and then a gang OF
sixteen bottoms For the most part
the preference seems to be for eight
or Ten bottoms, drawn by an engine Of
from % to 35-horsepower, although
feN engines of 4S-horsepoWer have
been purchased for blowing purposes.
TO which are usually attached a gang
Of tWeye plows.
On ground comparatively smooth
and reasonably free from stone, it is
figured that with an engine Of ade-
quate power, these gang ploWs are ca
pable Of breaking three acres to each
pillow bottom, so that a gang of twelve
turns over about thirty-siX acres a
day. The average price for breaking
wild prairie is $3.50 an acre. The
actual cost with steam plows, under
favorable conditions, is about 80 cents
an acre, depending somewhat upon
the distance water and coal for the
engines have TO be hauled. Those
who are engaging in the steam pow
ing business are counting on profit
of about So an acre for breaking.

THE ANIMALS FRIEND.

Boston Herald.-An occasional a
CUE but unconventional judge from
abroad has passed by Boston's in
stitutions for improving humanity,
and has seen the highest proof of
the city's refinement and civilization
in its advanced public sentiment fay
orable to the humane treatment of
animals, and in the friendly rela-
tons between humanity and the an
imal kind displayed in the standard
of appraisal. Man may do much for
himself from egotistic motives; but
the protection of animal life from
abuse and cruelty implies unmixed
altruism. If this test of Boston is

Dandruff is a contagious disease

brush belonging to someone else. No
matter how clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
| 1t Is far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke of an infected comb or
brush often produces the cause of
badness. Never try on anybody eIse's

ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING.
Stranger Takes Racine Boy but Gives
Up When Pursued.


Racine, Wis, April 25.-An attempt
to kidnap Kenneth, the 212 year old
adopted son of Mr.. and Mrs. Perry
Adams, 1921 Wisconsin street, has
caused a stir here. The boy is a son
of the twin sister of Mrs. Adams.
Mr.. Adams has offered a reward of
$25 for the apprehension of the man
supposed to have attempted to steal
the boy.
According to the story of Mrs.
Adams, the boy was playing on the
walk adjoining her home. She missed
him, and upon making search was
told that a man had coaxed him away
and was then leading him north on
College avenue.
The woman, almost distracted
raised an alarm, and gave chase. A
stranger hearing her cries ran after
the man who had picked the child up
and was running with him. Seeing
that he could not get away, the kid
naper dropped the boy and succeeded
liz Guiding his pursuers.

Then Harry Herne spoke.

And If you take my advice, Miss
| Darracourt" he said, his voice ringing
low and clear, and, as it seemed with
the dignity of a prince, after the harsh
tones of the other; "if you will take
my advice Miss arracourt, you will
never place your life in the hands of
| a coward, who has neither knowledge
nor courage to drive a couple of harm
ess ponies"
It was an awful retort from a man to
a marquis, awful in its cold hauteur,
the voice backed by the stern dark
eyes which fixed themselves on the
marQuis's face like an accusing gods.
"Insolent!" Kissed the marquis.
Stand away, get out of my sight, or
-" he seized the whip and raised it
The threatened man could have
avoided it, but he must have left the
ponies which he would not DO.
Down came the Lash, wound itself
round the arm appraised to ward 1t OF,
and with its tail end cut a livid line
across the still bleeding face.
Lucille, with a cry of horror, flung
herself before the insulted man.
"Oh! OH" she gasped, as If the lash
had cut her. ooh, shame, .shame!"
and she covered her face with her
hands.
The marquis stood for second APP
paled by what he had done, not by the
Injustice of it, but the effect 1t would
have upon her.
Forgive me, forgive me, Miss Oar
racourt!" he said horasely. 1.-THE fell
low tried me beyond endurance! He
has had no more than he deserves! He
has almost lost you your life, and has
added insult"
you insulted him first!" gasped Luz
ellie, coloring and painting. Go,
please go!"
The marquis bent his head, took up
his hat, and turned but once more he
paused.
"Wtll you not let me accompany you
to the house and plead for forgive
ness? I have been hardly tried; |
have made myself hateful to you"
"Only go!" said Lucille, and at that
he turned and went slowly and reluct-
antIy through the trees.
Lucille stood and sobbed. 1t was
the only sound that broke the silence
for a moment, then his voice said,
softly, sorrowfully:
"Will you forgive me, Miss?"
She opened her eyes upon him, then
averted them with shudder at the
blood-stained, whip-stained face.
NO! noI'' she said; then all in a
breath: ooh, your face!-and the
cruel whip! Oh, go home at once
at once!" and she stamped her feet.
Let US go at once" and she made
toward the carriage step.
''Wait-please," he said, in a low
whisper; Il must take the ponies
home, but you-you had better walk.
We might be met, and-and-ques-
tons asked! I can reach the yard by
side way. The ponies have run
away with me, and I've got my face
cut--that is reasonable enough
The thought flashed upon Lucille
that even at that moment he could
think Of her.
Without a word, but with a quick,
shuddering glance at him, she turned.
Harry Herne stood and looked up at
the sky. 1t seemed spinning like
huge top. There was something going
like a mad machine in his brain. But
through it all-the pain, the shame,
the torture of whipped mamie
stopped and found the glove she had
worn, and hid it away in his breast.
He got into the phaeton and spoke
to the ponies. Cowed, ashamed of
themselves, and utterly sick of the
whole business, they trotted off like
cows.

Indeed. there was unusual animation
in the public galleries. which were
crowded with peeresses. members Of

calm prevailed.
Nearly fifteen minutes was occupied
