ALFALFA PORK.

Davis and Miller, ranchmen, resid
ing in eastern Butte county, neal
the Moreau river, have given mucl
attention to feeding hogs on alfalfa
The writer visited their ranch three
years ago and saw some of the finest
and healthiest porkers we have ever
seen that had never eaten anything
but alfalfa. They pasture them upon
alfalfa in the field and let them run
to alfalfa stacks in the yard. We
saw a big SOW and large litter OF
pigs feeding about a stack of this hay
and eating it heartily but without
waste. In a recent communication
these gentlemen speak of their ex-
perience with one litter of eight pigs
They were farrowed June, 1908.
They were pastured during the re-
mainder of the summer on alfalfa,
having no other food save some wild
artichokes which grew along stream
running through the pasture. From
October until spring they had access
to stacks of alfalfa hay and were put
through the winter without grain. In
the spring they were turned on alfalfa
again and pastured until November.
After that they were put Oh corn for
35 days and finished for market.
When dressed they averaged 300
pounds, and sold for 1915 cents per
pound"
At the Chamberlain ranch in Sully
county we saw spring pigs which in
November were almost ready for the
lutcher that had been fed from the
day of weaving on alfalfa pasture
They weighed 200 pounds. Mr.. Cham
berlain was just then putting them Oh
corn to finish them before Christmas
They were beauties and had cost sim
ply the use of few acres of ground
for the season. Throughout this safe
alfalfa region farmers may be sure o1
profitable alfalfa pork. 1t is one o.
the resources and advantages Of this
region.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

(By Samuel H.. Lea, State Engineer)
Pierre is the capital city Of the
great State of South Dakota. In the
ordinary course Of events, it's rea-
sonable to expect a growth and ex-
pansion of cne city in keeping with
the Ievelopement Of the resources
the increase in wealth and the growth
in population of the common wealth
of which it is the geographical center.
The completion of the new capitol
at Pierre has given this city state
house complete in every respect, mod
ern in construction and equipment.
abuilding Of which the whole state
may well be proud. The grounds sur
rounding the new capitol are being
made into beautiful park that will
be equal in artistic design and beauty
to any park of equal extent in
the country. Now that this splendid
work of the state is an assured real
ity, Pierre, the capital city, should
shape it's future growth in system
attic manner, with view to becom-
ing the city beautiful as a great
and prosperous center of trade and
commerce. Conditions should be stud
ed by an expert builder Of cities and
plans made to be followed for
perhaps the remainder ofthe century.
l would suggest to begin with
l. A civic center preferably Capitol
Park.
2. The blishment of one or more
additional PARIS.
3. parkway Pc connecting the var.
ious parks of the city.
4. A boulevard connecting with
drives entering the city from various
directions.
s. Acivic improvement commission.
a movement looking toward the
contamination of the above and sim.
liar plans would become epochal in
the city q history.

SOUTH DAKOTA
LAND ATTRACTIVE

| Where the corn crop profits vie with
the wheat yield and the farmer is
bewildered as to which to choose it
must be pretty good land. And that
is the truth about the state of South
Dakota and which in the last few
years has been attracting more immi-
grafton than almost any other state
in the union.
Yet, for century almost, the land
has been famous for it's richness.
There are parts of it that the greatest
Indian wars in history were fought
over and the possession of it by the
whites was not secured until many
lives had been lost.
That is what they are beginning to
do now and if one looks back at that
record year, 1906, which is almost
like the Hegria, has come to be the
basis of all farming comparison, it
w LII OO OCCu Ulldu UlO oOboC VI oouVl
Dakota produces more crops per capi-
ia than any other state, which of
course means nothing but that if
South Dakota had happened to have
in it as many people as there are in IL
linois, this garden spot of the world
in all logic would have looked like
the mystic 80 cents when put along
side of South Dakota.
The land is cheap, too, on account
of the fact that the people have been
backward in coming forward, and
those who are getting in ON the
ground floor are laying hold of all the
land they can get because they know
that there is a boom coming very
shortly and will put it out of reach of
all except the wealthy.
Wheat was one of the first crops
raised in South Dakota and what is
the use of talking about it? Every
farmer knows and the grain dealers,
too, that there was time when all
anyone talked about was Kansas
wheat. But now it is, "What are
they doing this year in the Dakotas, .
and if the report is good the shorts
have an awful time of it in the grain
pit for with the Dakotas and the
country across the border on the
wheat job the crop is sure to be up to
| the mark.
But corn is rapidly supplanting
wheat in many parts of South Dakota
for it has been found that it is a Won
derful corn country. 1t is a hardy
crop, dries out in great shape and
grows rapidly. When it is hot in
South Dakota it is very hot and the
soil is just like that in Illinois. The
combination is one that has appealed
to many of the farmers and the re-
ports that come back are all satisfac-
tory.
If one wants to know how much of
oats and how much of corn can be
raised to the acre the easiest way to
find out is to figure his crop here at
home, for the yield in both is almost
| identical. Wheat has varied from Is
bushels to 80 bushels, and much de-
pends on The Judgment of the man

FIVE SOUTH DAKOTA
COUNTIES TO VOTE

Lyman and Stanley Are Points
Where the Proposition Is

Pierre, s. D.. Oct. 22.-While a ma
jority OF the people OF western Stanlcy
county appear to be anxious to have
that big county carved into smaller
counties, the fact that too many am
bilious towns are looking for county
seat honors is likely to leave them for
at least another two years without any
change In boundary lines, and appear
TO be willing to allow the westerners to
cut loose II they can agree on where
they want to be parted. But while d.
vision sentiment appears to be gener-
ally rife In the western half, the sem
timent IL not unanimous, as the Mid
land boomers can not see any POSSIBLE
tiles for themselves In getting into the
county seat game under any division
plan proposed, and have organized tc
fight any division plan. The division
lists In their anxiety to get the kind OF
division they want are working at
cross purposes, and while all claim to
be working for division, they are pull1
to result In disappointment for ALI
The Philip people want the WESTERN
half Of the county cut off and called
Iowa. This would leave Philip nicely
situated in about the center Of the new
county as a live railroad town on the
Northwestern line. and the chances for
county seat honors at the best. Down
not meet with favor, and they want a
county OF their own to be called jack
son, which would put Kadoka in nice
location for county seat honors. Up in
the northwestern corner, without
railroad town, but with numerous am
bilious postoffices they want Sterling
county, and the privilege of being al
lowed to fight the county seat honors

himself and against all the others with

Down in Lyman they appear to have
the division sentiment pretty well
