STATE EXPERIMENTAL FARM.

President R. l.. Slagle, of the
Brookings Agricultural college, and
Prof. c. Willis of the same institu-
tion, Wee in Eureka yesterday to in
which Prof. Willis is the guiding
genius. A number Of Eureka citizens
We're invited to discuss the menu
with them at Hotel Knickerbocker
at the noon hour, after which an in
spection of the farm was made and
some of the detail work explained.
While this is only the second year of
work on the experimental farm at
Eureka, already a number of things
interesting to the farmer have been
demonstrated and we are pleased to
say that we have arranged for the
publication of series of letters per-
tanning to the work being done here
which, If turned to practical use, will
be of inestimable benefit to the farm
ers of Mcpherson and surrounding
counties. While the appropriation
for maintaining and running the
farm is far to little to accomplish the
best results, still it is a matter of
congratulation to farmers hereabouts
to have proven to them without per-
sonal expense what varieties of the
different kinds of grain grow the best
in this section. produce the best yield
and quality, how to handle the soil
by crop ro'ation to produce the best
results, etc. FOR instance, Prof Will
! lis has secured variety of oats
which in actual tests at the Brook
ings farm for a period of seven years
has annually produced twelve bushels
more per acre than any other variety
sown. Certainly If farmer can raise
twelve bushels more of an oats, equal
ly as good in ever other respect, he
would be foolish not to provide him
self with that kind of seed. And what
is true of oats will be equally proven
in the other kinds of grain. Next
year the many different kinds of alfal-
ia will be experimental with and we
are told that there will be 10000 in
dividual plants set out This will be
Of great Importance because the time
is near at hand when our farmers will
have to raise their hay and fodder
and alfalfa is considered the very best
forage plant where it can be raised
successfully.
1t is expected to build a seed house
on the farm this summer and as soon
barn, horses and more machinery will
be provided for.-Eureka Northwest

THE FIRST WHITE CHILD.

For a long time Ole o. Deity Of
Meckling has claimed, and been award
ed, -the distinction of having been the
first white child born within the pres
ent limits of the present state Of
South Dakota He is the son of pio-
neer settlers among the earliest to To-
cate in the southeastern corner of Da-
kota territory his birth date being
March g 1860. Since going to Wash
ing, Senator Crawford has been delv-
ing into early South Dakota history,
as shown by the records of the war
department for the frontier posts along
the Missouri river, and has secured a
record which will bring down Ole from
his pedestal of distinction, and give it
to a woman now resident of Chi
cago She was the daughter of Ed
ward Graham Atkinson, a sutler with
the United States troops located at
Ft. Pierre, and the date of her birth is
given as January 2, 1857, or more than
three years before the birth of Detley
in the southeastern corner of the state.
The girl, Mary Huston Atkinson. is
now mother superior of the Sacred
Heart convent in Chicago. The record
appears to be authentic in every way,
and gives Fort Pierre another distinc-
ton besides that of being the location

CARLISLE RESIGNS.

E. H. Carlisle has rendered his re-
signation as manager of the Grand
opera house, but so far the board OF
directors have not acted upon it. Mr..
Carlisle has more than made good at
the work during the past year. but his
duties in the bank will not allow him
to give the time necessary to the
proper discharge of the duties as man
ager. However, he may be induced
to remain by appointing an assistant
to look after some OF the detail work.

PLEASED WITH
BROOkINGS
Is THE REPORT FROM TYLER,
MINNESOTA.
THE FARMERS EXCURSION
FROM THERE WAS A PLEASANT
AND PROFITABLE ONE.

The Tyler, MINI. Journal has the
following to say of the visit of the
farmers Of that vicinity to Brookings
and the State college a couple of
weeks ago:
One of the most pleasant and profit
able outings the farmers Of this VIC
Unity have ever experienced was trip
in their own special train to the state
agricultural farm and college at Brook
ings, s. d., last Saturday.
The weather was as II it had been
made to order, and early in the morn
ing farmers with their families were
seen driving into town in their car
riages from every direction. Their
special train was at the station await
ing for the merry crowd, and 173 tick
cts were disposed of, and about nine
o'clock the iron horse was put into
motion which pulled the train load of
humanity safely to it's destination.
Upon arrival the farmers were heart
lily greeted by the citizens of Brook
ings, and number Of automobile were
put into service to carry the visitors
to and from the college. The crowd
was soon on the ground where the
day was to be spent. Benches and
tables had been placed in the grove
and at noon the ladies got out their
baskets which weighed heavily with
delicious eatables, and the hospitable
people of Brookings furnished hot cof-
fee, cream and sugar, and the mid
day meal was enjoyed by all under the
shady and balmy trees.
After dinner had been served ada
dresses were delivered by Professors
Hansen and Larsen Of the college fac
ulty and r. ]. Martensen and Chr.
Hansen of Tyler, also delivered short
addresses In the interest of the farm
ers, and to be sure Banker Kelson
didn't leave his talking machine at
home. The talks were based on "Hints
and Helps for the Farmer" and the
tillers of the soil were greatly bene-
fitted thereby.
The college buildings were opened
and the system Of instruction was
briefly explained The visitors were
also shown all of the experiments car
ried on and taken through the agri-
cultural and horticultural departments
which were very pleasing as we'll as
instructive to them.
After supper the delegation was TAX.
en- back to the city and the sights Of
the pretty and prosperous town were
taken in, and from the appearance Of
the city the impression was impaired
that Brookings contains some hustling
and progressive business men and cit.
izens and that it is clean city both
morally and physically and that ii Is
a safe place to send the young men
to college to become better and more
intelligent farmers.
Throughout the trip was a decided
success and all considered that it was
time and money well invested. The
farmers around Tyler are to be COM
plimented for always being wide
awake and at all times having their
eyes and ears open to anything that
throws more light on their avocation.
The farmers were especially elated
over the courtesy and hospitality ex-
tended by the good people of Brook
ings which added greatly to the COM
fort and pleasure of the occasion.

many cases of female ills, such as in
