Preservation of Birds in Black Hills.

L. A. Cooper of Washington, d. c.,
who is connected with the department
for the preservation of game in the Ma
tional Forest of the United States, and
who has been a sojourner in the Black
Hills for some days, has secured from
County Superintendent of Schools Flor
ence Glenn the names of all the teach
ers in the county schools of Lawrence
county and will have sent to them, from
Washington, literature bearing upon
the subject of the protection and preser-
vation of the song birds in the National
Forest.
The teachers in the rural schools have
frequent occasion to observe the destruc-
ton of birds through other means than
by the depredations of men and boys,
and it is realized that the teachers will
be better informed as to why and how
the Government desires to have the
song birds in the forests protected if
the literature of the Government upon
that subject is placed in their hands for
study.

South Dakota Right Now.

South Dakota right now is living in
the dawn of beautiful day. Many new
railroads have been built to open up
the heretofore thinly settled parts, and
to bring together sections that have long
been strangers because of the lack OF
them. Farming methods are just being
developed, aud new grains and other
forage crops brought out that promise to
more than double our safe farming area.
The vast possibilities of intensive farm
ing, fruit growing, dairying, ETC., in the
great tracts being brought under irriga-
tion and dry farming methods, are fast
beginning to dawn upon our people.
All along the line the Dakotas are ad-
yancing as never before, and with more
money than ever before to do business
with, more experience, and far safer
places in which to spend the next few
years that will not only astonish the en-
tire world, but will surprise, and most
agreeably, our farmers themselves

The 18th annual convention of the
American National Live Stock Associa-
ton, will be held in Denver, Colorado,
on December 18th and 18th, 1911. The
county is facing serious shortage in
both cattle and sheep, and this question
is one of the greatest importance to all
engaged in growing live stock. Every
stock man in the Black Hills should
make an effort to attend the sessions Of
this Association. The coming conven-
ton of this Association promises to
over-shadow all former annual meetings,
both in attendance and in the import
ance of the work to be undertaken.

For the past four years, letters ad-
dressed to Santa Claus have been deliv-
cred by postmasters to charity organiza-
tions but this practice has been stopped
by an order from the postofice depart
ment. One naturally would wonder
why, but the reason is that ingenious
grafters used the opportunity to get
something for nothing, and it was neces-
sary to put stop to the rather pretty
practice that had prevailed. 1t is a pity
that the sweet myths of Christmas
should be invaded by graft, but the
department officials are face to face with
a condition. n.-Argus-Leader.

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER
DISCOVERS ANCIENT WATERWAY

DIsCoVERS ANCIENT WATERWAY
Workmen at the sulphur mine thii
week discovered cave or ancient wa
terway the dimensions of which are al
yet undetermined. Alta depth of little
over hundred feet in the miners un
covered an opening of about four feet in
width which widens to hundred feet
or more within short distance. The
mysterious cavern has been explored
back four or five hundred feet running
in the direction of Thermopolis without
coming to the end. The heighth is
about ten feet and the walls, ceiling and
floors are composed of q hard crystal
substance. In the floor are number OF
bottom1ess pits arising out of which is a
sulphurous vapor which keeps the cave
at temperature of about 1S0 degrees
and prevents anyone from remaining in
the cave more than few minutes at q
time. s
Branching off from the main or larger
cave are two smaller ones, one leading
to the northeast and the other to the
south. These have not yet been ex-
plored to any depth because of the ex-
cessive heat.
Superintendent Corfield tells US that
in this cave they have also discovered
vein of sulphur ore surprising in purity
any that has ever been taken out of the
mine. They have as yet been unable to
determine the extent of this vein as the
miners can work in it only few NOM
ents at time until their clothes are wet
with steam and heat However should
this vein prove to be large deposit the
find will be valuable one as the ore is
almost pure sulphur, running a little
better than IS per cent.
The find is an interesting one and may
lead to the discovery of the source four
springs. Undoubtedly in ages
long ago this passage was filed with a
great stream of water possibly flowing
from one great lake to another. No one
knows where or when.-Thermopolis

and they are selling freely around $500

would sell up to $500 or better and the
tone to the market is decidedly strong.
Cows and heifers show as much advance
as fat cattle and sell largely at a range
of $500 O. $500, the bulk of the butcher
stock around $3.s5 a. $3.50. Veal

KEEP SEED POTATOES COOL
Farmers Should EndeaVor to Have
Temperature for Tubers at
About SO Degrees.
(By WIN. H. UNDERWOOD. IIllnois.)

(By WIN. H. UNDERWOOD. Illlnois.)
Potatoes intended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter, and this can be done only by
keeping them 80 cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part Of the starch that is stored up
in them and manufacture It into living
cells. This energy is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled OF.
Some farmers make 1t a point to
"sprout" their potatoes once or twice
during the winter, this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
Of energy thus lost Is considerable
and the oss-increases as the winter
draws to q close.
/ raise potatoes In large quantities,
and each year place them in cold
storage. ] prefer to pay the expense
OF the storage and be sure that they
are kept in a perfectly plump state,
rather than to keep them in a room
with q high temperature. as is done
by some.
In the spring the potatoes come out
Of the cold storage house In perfect
condition, and 1t takes but a few
weeks for them to develop strong
sprouts that rise out Of the soil and
develop strong stalks and leaves.
Many farmers have not the opportu-
nifty to put their potatoes in cold
storage houses, but they should en-
deavor to keep their potatoes at q
very low temperature. The nearer
80 degrees potatoes are kept, the
better.
