WILL Be RUSH FOR
LANDS IN MELLETTE
EXPECTED THEY WILL SOON
SELL FOR $4,000 TO $500 o AN
ACRE, WHICH WILL AT
TRACT SETTLERS.

Chamberlain, S. D.-The fovern-
ment appraisers appointed to make
an appraisement of the surplus land
of the Rosebud Indian reservation in
Mellette county, after having aban-
doned. work during the winter, have
again resumed operations and will
push the work of bringing the ap-
praisement to a conclusion as speedi-
.ly as possible.
The members of the %appraising
crew state hat they expect to COM
plete their work about Aug. i, next,
when about 1,OO0,0 900 acres OF the
surplus land will be ready to be
opened to white settlers as soon as
officials at Washington can make the
necessary arrangements. 1t is ex-
pected the Washington end of the
arrangements can be completed in
time to have the immense tract
thrown upon the market early in Oc-
tober
1t presumed that we'll before the
date of the opening a railroad will
have been constructed to the border
of the tract to be opened, giving
homesteaders every opportunity to
reach the land, without difficulty. The
terminus of the railroad now is at
Winner, county seat of Trfpp coun-
ty. Directly west of Winner is the
town of Carter, which is situated on
the border of the millionaire tract
which is to be thrown open for white
homesteaders. BY extending west
ward from Winner to Carter the
homesteaders who occupy the lands
will be given railroad facilities to the
very edge of the promised land.
It is certain that one of the great
est land rushes in the history of the
state will be witnessed when the sur
plus Indian lands in Mellette county
are thrown open to settlement. In
formation from that part Of the state
is to the effect that numerous persons
who have decided to attempt to Sc
cure homesteads in Mellette county
already have taken up their residence
in the region near the bounary of
the tract which is to be opened, and
will remain there until the tract is
formally opened and they have the
right to occupy homesteads.

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
s s s 8 8 8 8 8 8 s 8 s 8 ssssss

If one desires to improve his seed
corn for another year, the time to do
1t is before the present crop is gather
ed. When person follows the COM
mon practice of securing his seed from
the barn, large ears are invariably
selected, and 1t cannot be told at that
time whether the ears are large due to
breeding, or whether they have been
produced on stalks which have been
favored with an undue amount of fer
tilizer or distance. If seed are select
ed which have been grown under the
latter conditions, they are not apt to
produce large ears another year un-
less given rather heavy application
OF fertilizer or more distance than
necessary. Therefore, the seed ears
should be selected from stalks which
have grown under average conditions.
To make this selection properly. it
must first be decided which portion
of the field represents as near as pos
sible the average soil conditions of
the farm Then from blocky and heal
thy stalks which have not been fa-
vored with any undue amount of dis
tance or richness in the soil, the seed
ears should be gathered Before
breaking the ears from the stalks,
one should ascertain their size as near
as possible. This can be done by
carefully examining them with the
hand, and If they seem to be of good
size and well filled out at the tip they
should be pulled. If the corn should
be a prolific variety it does not mat
ter whether the top Or bottom ear is
selected so long as a good one Is Sc
cured
After having selected about twice as
many ears as will be necessary for
seed all of them should be stored in
a place free from mice and weevils.
few days prior to planting time, all
of the ears should be shucked and
only the best ones should be retained
for planting. 1t is well to bear in mind
that all seed ears should be free from
mixture, heavy, of good size, have deep
grains. well filled butts and tips, un-
form kernels, and narrow spaces be-
tween the rows Of grains, as the above
points are conducive to larger yields
and have a tendency to be reproduced
when planted.

DOG TORE CHLD'S FACE.
Left TO Watch Dinner Pail, Attacks
Baby Girl.

Last week one of the most hor-
rible scenes that ever could be wit
messed, was that of a dog viciously
tearing a child's face to shreds. It
appears some men had left a din
ner pail on the ground near where
the child was playing. They told
the animal to watch the pail, and,
faithful to its charge and instinct,
did so, but with a most terrible
ending. The child, a sweet little
baby girl, but two years old, took
a notion to toddle over to the bright
looking pail and ''doggie." She had
no sooner placed her tiny hands on
the utensil than the dog sprang at
her, knocked her down and bit her
tender little face until it was almost
an unacceptable mass of blood
and acerated flesh. The child was
quickly rescued and placed under
medical attendance. Soon after the
tragedy the dog was shot. The lit
tie girl is the daughter of Ira Jones,
a homesteader near Mt. Ida

GOING HOME, But
WHAT'S THE Use?
Freedom Means Little TO Aged Ar
kansas Farmer, Who Has Gone
Totally Blind In Federal
Penitentiary.

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov. 49,
Cropping and fumbling about in
enternal darkness, broken in body
and spirit, an old man left the fed
eral penitentiary on parole today.
He was John White, a farmer of
Harrison, Ark, who had completed
one year of two-year sentence
for retailing liquor without gov
'ernment license. He was Ga years
old.
The old mans eyesight was de-
fective when he entered the peni-
tentiary October IS, 1910. Now he
is totally blind and finds his way
about with cane.
Whats the use? What's the
use?' moaned the old man as he
was led from the penitentiary walls.
II won't be able to see my friends
again. | couldn't recognize anyone
if he were within arms length.
The plight of the wretched old
man moved the penitentiary Off
cials to pity. They dressed him in
a suit of discharged prisoners
and gave him a few things
to cheer his lonely journey to Har-
ris0n. They crowded around to bid
him goodbye, for the old man had
been a model prisoner. He was
taken to the railroad station in a
carriage and telegram sent to rel
atives telling them to meet him at
Harrison.
Then the guard, who had been
delegated to escort White to the
station, waited until the train ar
rived and fixed him up as comfort
ably as possible.
Goodbye, dad" he said in fare
well.
But the old man did not hear him.
His head had fallen YEARLY upon
his breast,
I'm going home," he muttered,
I'm going home, but what's the
use? What's the use?"
