"A Washington special in the Sioux

are that II he is dropped, Lieuten-
ant Governor Shober, of Highmore,
will get the place. The particular
reason that Mr.. Pearsons is to be
dropped Is because he was a strong
supporter Of Nh. Kittredge, and the
same reason applies to the possible
appointment OF Mr.. Shober-because
he was a strong supporter of Senator
Crawford. That is playing the po-
litical patronage game real strong
and It appears that Dick Richards

STARTED THREE new LINES
Reported That the Milwaukee Has
Started Construction on Three
Lines.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad company has been not
ed in times past of starting railroad
extensions without taking thu pub
lie into its confidence, and accord
ing to a report received in this city
it has already undertaken the con-
%struction of three lines of railroad
leading into new territory.
While j. H. TAFT, a division freight
and passenger agent for the COM
pany, was in the city Wednesday he
gave the statement that the Milwau-
, kee company now has three lines
under extension and that. they had
men at work throwing dirt for the
roadbed. One line, and the most inn
of the Rapid City line from Belvi-
dere northwest to Bowman, n. d.,
on the Pacific coast line. The pos
sibility of this line has been spoken
of several times and two weeks ago
President Earring, Mr.. McKenna,
(, with several other officials, made a
drive over this route. The suppos-
ition is that they started the graders
to work. The construction of this
line means that coast line business
from Chicago will be sent around
through Mason City, Sanborn and
Mitchell, on through Chamberlain
and thence up the new road to on
meet with the coast line.
The other two lines are projected
from Wakpala, the first station
across the Missouri river. From that
point a line being built to Dickinson,
Wakpala directly west to the Yellow
! stone park. Mr.. Taft made the above
| statements without any reservation
and stated emphatically hal the
graders were already at work on
these three projected lines.

This comparison, exact and com.
plete for three years, and including
the record of both milk and feed,
means a great deal more than a single

it is necessary to introduce an esti

1t would be gratifying, indeed, if it
could be truthfully said that these two
records are extreme and exceptional,
and therefore do not stand for any
general condition of the dairy bust
ness. But the very opposite is true.
These cows were both cared for in
the same way; they were given the
same kinds of feed and allowed to eat
all they wanted. Gold ate one-half
more than Gilt, but produced nearly
three times as much milk.

one case 1873 pounds of butter fat and
in the other 100 pounds. The one COW

VAST DIFFERENCE IN cows
Interesting Records of Two Animals
Of Same Herd at Illinois College
of Agriculture.

by William J. Fraser, Illinois College of
Agriculture)
At the agricultural experiment sta
ton are two cows, the story of whose
work is well worth telling They
were brought up alike on a farm near
Elgin, ILL.,, and obtained their early ed
ucation in the same herd of 100 cows.
Here at the university, with the very
same surroundings and equal oppor-
tunities they have drifted apart in
character, and their progress has been
in opposite directions. 1t is not a diff
ference of hide, or horns, or temper;
it is not that one is wild and the other
a pet. 1t is not difference of beauty
or intelligence, but solely difference
in the way they have worked, n diff
ference in the money they have
earned for the owner.

per pound, and taking out the exact
cost of feed in each case, the one COW

TIME FOR BUILDING A SILO
Fore-Sighted Farmers Will Not Put
Off the Construction Until the
Last Minute.

(By Joseph Newman, Illinois Dairymen's
ASsociation)
SilOs should be built in time to take
care of the crops before frost comes,
and the thrifty farmer will build as
early as possible.
l built a round silo, 16 feet four
inches in diameter by 80 feet high,
and placed in it about seven acres of
drilled corn will cared, and three acres
of hill corn from the shock, all cut
and blown into the silo, mixed as it
went in and wet down well.
This made 1875 tons of the best win
ter feed for dairy cows that I ever
saw
We started feeding it to so COWS and
ten head of young stock on December
1, and it was sufficient to last them I'm.
til March TO-
The corn put in in this way fur
nished not only the roughage. but
concentrates, and all needed to bal.
ance the ration was four pounds of
gluten meal and four pounds of wheat
bran per day for each COW.
Following this stock in the barn
yard were about 80 hogs, shotes and
sows, and with practically no other
feed l never saw stock look any better
on March 1.
We found the best way to feed was
to feed the bran and gluten meal be.
fore and during milking time. and the
ensilage after milking. The milk was
bought by one of the large milk COM
panies which supply Chicago with bot
tied milk and was pronounced by them
a fine article, testing on the average
about 81 per cent. butter fat by the
Babcock test.
For a dairy of so cows, two round
silos, each is feet in diameter by SO
feet high, should furnish enough fol
the winters feeding and to carry the
stock through the dry time the next
fall.
In providing plenty of succulent
food of this nature for the dairy milk
can be made better and cleaper and
more cows can be kept on the same
number of acres.
I do not put anything on top of
the silage after filling and did not lose
six inches on top, and the pigs took
care of that when it was thrown into
the barHyard.

There are many different kinds of

are comparatively free from objec-

RETURN TO FORMER STYLE
II Seems Now to Be Decreed That
the Bang Shall Be Restored
to Favor.

Although much protest was made
last winter about the temperance of
the "bang" across the forehead it
seems to be rather firmly intrenched
now
The majority of women will wear it
this winter. In large measure 1t will
be becoming. 1t will compel women
to lift from their foreheads that low
hanging mass of hair now the fashion
and substitute it with a tiny, wavy
fringe.
1t is absurd to cut the hair to make
this bang. One can buy it by the
piece in any hair shop and attach it
under ones own hair by an invisible
hairpin.
One should be extra careful not to
get it thick or straight.
The poodle bang, once so fashion
able in the SOS of the nineteenth CEN
fury, also promises to return. 1t has
already done so in Paris, but there

glossy white papers, and the quaint
ties of swiss for sash curtains are
practically numberless. That paper
having a satiny surface or an invisible
pattern will prove less monotonous
and the drapery of the dressing bu
reau should match the curtains.
Now, the introduction into this
"colorless" scheme of the occasional
picture or the bit of delicate pottery
or metal ware will break what may
prove monotony, but an excess OF
ornamentation is to be decried, since
the main object and purpose of this
purity coloring is the accomplishment
of an entirely sanitary room.
Yes, it may need repapering and re.
enameling sooner than darker color,
which is to be anticipated, for our

look clean, but to be clean
