DEMAND FOR PORK
STEADILY INCREASING
Farmers Will Find That Hog
Raising Will Prove t1ighIy
Profitable

Just now the price of hogs and hog
products is very high, and this if con-
tinued, means money in the pockets
of the men that produce them.
We may consider what are the CHI
ances that hog produts will be high
er than the products of all other farm
animals. Just now we find the hog
highest in price, with cattle e next,
an! s.leep at the lowest point.
IN une markets of the world the hog
has certain advantage over CATTLE
sheep rpoultry. The flesh of the hog
preserved in way that makes it keep
indefinitely. Or at least for a very
long time. Also it is fact that the
method Of preservation makes it more
palatable than in fresh and unpre-
served state.
BY smoking or by treating with GER
tain liquids We create nam and bacon.
We use not only the hind quarters
for hams, but we also make hams out
of the forequarters. These hams are in
demand in all parts Of the world. The
sides OF the hog are made into bacon
OF the first quality and the bellies into
bacon OF q poorer quality, but both
kinds have q large place in the market
of the world.
The taste Of the race for ham and
bacon is increasing, and the price only
limits the demand for them. 1t there
fore comes about that not very large
part need be sold feesh. The fact that
ham and bacon can be kept for very
long time makes them useful for
ocean-going ships, and the navies of
the world are drawing on this kind
Of provisions.
So we may take it for granted that
the foreign demaud Of the present day
for ham and bacon, great as it is, will
be constantly exceeded by the demand
of the future. At home the demand
for good bacon and hams is growing at
a speed that makes it possible for the
local dealer to put a good round
frice on his product without seriously
curtailing the sale. In the light of
the retail demand for these two
products today there seems to be
no reason why hogs should not
remain permanently at a high price
though not necessarily SO high as to-
day.
Another product of the hog is
lard, and that, too, has a worldwide
yield for it's sale. 1t is put up in her.
metically y-sealed tins and not exposed
to outside germs. 1t is used wherever
man is found. and the demand for lard
is on the increase. At home it has
increasing sale. The total
number of hogs in the country can
be slowly increased as the hog
raisers learn better how to deal with
the raising and fattening of hogs.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD
AROUND BELLE FOURCHE
armers on Government lrri-
gated Lands Will Harvest
Large Crops

Washington, ID. c., June IA state
ment issued by the reclamation service
says the indications are that farmers
on the Belle Fourche irrigation project
in South Dakota will harvest large
crops this season. Most of the grain
is looking fine. Water has been used
to some extent on hay and alfalfa but
as the country is new comparatively
little alfalfa has been started and de-
mands on the canals will not be great
until gain irrigation starts.
Water right with applications are be
ing filed at rate Of five a day. About
thirty of the farms in the unit recently
opened are still subject to entry. The
new townsites under the project are
Fruitdale, which is being laid out by
private individuals: Nisland, the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad town,
Newell, located on government land
and known as the government townsite.
these towns have not been
formally opened, considerable building
has been done around them and at the
present end of the railroad there have
been constructed about 25 buildings
and others are being started every day.
Twenty-nine thousand cubic yards of
material were placed on the dam last
month: 1,5O0 cubic yards of trimming
Il Ia, Il &l t., i
800 cubic yards of the screened gravel
placed on the water slope which COM
plete the revetment up an elevation
Of .947. Water has been turned into
the reservoir and covers about 1000
acres.

Says Church is Not Declining.

The church, in the liberal sense, is
not dying and its power is not declining.
a community Of any size can not be
maintained without It's church, says
a contributor in the Delineator.
The people who seek the amusements
of the athletic fields and the parks on
Sunday may, ofcourse not go to church
on that day, but great hordes of them
are church members and expend good
ly amounts each year to help support
the churches to which they belong.
They want the churches in their COM
munity. They are proud to have it
there and be members of it, and to
maintain it in credible if not fairly
luxurious fashion.
They like to feel that they can go
there if they care to-, and that they
have personal interest in it, and that,
like the traditional birch in the corner
OF the SchOolroOm, it is always whole
some reminder that it keeps them
from the extremes to which they are
attracted by the eXigencies of the
present-day commercial life and the
attractions of modern sensational
amuSementS.
l believe that even the attendance
Of the churches own members could
be bettered if the church service and
general church activities were brought
into closer touch with the peculiar ten
dency of the times.
Let there be ladies' aids and sewing
societies and ladies clubs for the study
Of things Of church and secular in
Let there be kindergartens and sew
ing and cooking classes and similar
practical attractions. Let the men
have church clubs and brOtherhoods
and suppers where they can enjoy
, themselves and incidentally discuss
matters of church and community in

The Small College in South
Dakota.

This is the commencement season in
South Dakota, and in addition to the
high schools, colleges and universities
are holding exercises commemorative
Of the closing of the school year.
South Dakota is especially blessed
with normal schools and small COL
leges. In addition to the university
Of South Dakota, the state has a
School of Mines at Rapid City, the
State College at Brookings, a school
for the blind, a school for the deaf,
and normal schools at Aberdeen, Mad
ison, Springfield and Speartish, all in
most tlourishing condition. And then
there are many colleges, including
Dakota Wesleyan University at Nit
chell, Sioux Falls college, Redtield
college, Yankton college, Angustana
college at Canton, and several others,
all of which are doing excellent work
and turning out young men and wo-
men who are credit to the state and
to the institutions responsible for
their education.
The News believes the small COL
lege is an excellent asset for any state
to have. The graduate of such an in
stitution may not enter the business
or professional world with the pres
tige that comes to tho man who grad
uates from one of the great universi-
ties, but he has something which is
perhaps better, the advantage Of a
closer friendship and understanding
with the noble men and women who
are devotlng their lives to the work
Of instruction. and he is apt, there
fore, to have higher ideals of life and
it's responsibilities than the graduate
Of the big university.
While the young person who is for
tunate enough to be able to secure a
higher education at one of the great
universities is to be congratulated
over his good fortune, the man or wo.
man who, perforce, must content him.

The State Herd Law.

Bixby, June Following the ex-

the newer counties in western half Of
the state, the homesteaders of this
Perkins) county are circulating petit
tions in accordance with the herd law.
with the object of having submitted
to the voters Of the county at the
election in November the question as
to whether or not the provisions of
the state herd law shall apply to Per.
kins county. If it is decided that the
herd law shall apply, the stockmen OF
the county will be compelled to ''close

FATAL DYNAMITE EX.
PL0Sl0N NEAR PIEDMONT
Two Lives Lost as a Result
of Careless Handling of
the Explosive

Piedmont, June IA serious and
fatal accident occurred yesterday after
noon about three o'clock at Tom Pol
gers camp about four miles from this
place on the narrow gauge railroad
which is being constructed from this
place to Lead.
Some blasting was being done on the
proposed line by the constitution gang.
The charge had been placed and set
off. Some of the shots were not dis
charged, and were being investi-
gated by John Ehl and Peter Dely,
two Finlanders, when the delayed ex-
posion occurred, both men receiving
the full force of the concussion. One
had the side Of his face torn off, at
the same time losing an arm and leg.
The other man was literally decapi-
tated, the head hanging by shreds to
the body. After they were picked
up it was found that life was not ex-
tinct, and they were hurriedly brought
to this place and placed on the Pierre
train for Deadwood, to receive care in
a hospital there.
AS a result of their serious injuries
they both died before reaching Dead
wood.
1t is not whether the two unfortun-
ate men have relatives residing in this
section or not. The funeral will
take place in Deadwood today.

Sheepmen Report the Lamb
Crop To Be Good.

w. ii. Ridgway, sheepman from
the Camp Crook country north Of
Belle Fourche, states that this years
lamb crop will be good, despite the
heavy losses reported among sheep
men Of his section. 1t was feared that
the rigor Of the winter had caused
the ewes to lose their lam bS but this
has proved not true in many cases and
as an unusual number have given
birth to two lambs, the losses will be
fully made up by the increase. The
wool clip is now in progress and a
good crop is expected and with the
present high prices on wool, it is
thought that the sheepmen will get
through the season in good shape.

BURLINGTON MAY EXTEND
ITS LINE TO THE NORTH
Indications That Road Will Be
Extended From Piedmont

1t has been known for some time
that the Burlington is seeking to get
a connection with the Great North
ern, with which it is now closely al
lied, in order to secure the large
amount of business that is certain to
come with the rapid settling up and
development of the new lands in
Meade, Butte, Harding, and Perkins
counties.
The Burlington is doing extensive
work on its line near Piedmonl and it
is presumed that the road will be eX-
tended north from that place Re
garding the extension it is stated:
"The object Of the rumored extern
sion is to reach the country north and
east Of Belle Fourche, which is now
in the public eye as district that is
attracting more immigrants than
probably any other part of the United
States. The feature Of the PROPOSE
tion which is open to speculation, is
the route by which the Burlington is
to reach it's goal. 1t is understood
that it will follow route which will
connect with the Great Northern at
at some point close to the north line
of South Dakota but whether extern
sion from the Black Hills will be by
way of Piedmont or from Spearfish, is
not yet clear. 1t is reported that en-
gineers of the company have lately
been examining possible routes, but
there has been no public intimation
that any one has been definitely set
tied upon"

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.
1t may have struck you that most
tropical fruits have thick or hard or
nauseOus rinds, which need to be torn
off before the monkeys or birds for
whose use they are intended can get
at them and eat them. Our northern.
Strawberries, raspberries, currants and,
whortleberries, developed with a sin
gle eye to the pretty robins and finchcs
of temperate chimes, can be popped
into the mouth whole and eaten as
they stand. They are meant for small
birds to devour and to dispense the
tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return
for the bride Of the soft pulp that sur
rounds them. But it is quite otherwise
with oranges, shaddocks, bananas.
plantains, mangoes and pineapples.
Those great tropical fruits can only be
eaten properly after stripping off the
hard and often acrid rind that guards
and preserves them. They lay them
selves out for dispersion by monkeys,
toucans and other relatively large and
powerful fruit eaters, and the rind is
put there as a barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp
but be absolutely incapable of carry
ing away and dispensing the large and
richly stored seeds ii covers.-COrnhill
