Pierre.-The milk business In this
part of the state is growing, many of
the old-timers who have persistently
refrained from milking for years final
iy arriving at the conclusion that they
had better get into line The cream
cries west of the Missouri are all
prospecting, and are paying good
prices for cream, the average being
about % cents a pound for butter
fat. The Sansarc creamery, located at
a little inland point OF the railroad,
last week sent in for shipment 1000
pounds of butter as its weeks out
put. which at the prevailing prices
means a good income to the farmers
who milk in that vicinity. And that Is
the trend not only in one section, the
whole of the western central part of
the state taking up that feature Of
farming to greater or less extent.
The shipments of cream to eastern
creameries mean a lot of cash income
to farmers who make the shipments,
and thousands of dollars are coming
into the country from that source.

SOLVING tho Old Problem.

When Sir Thomas Upton was q
small boy in Scotland. he dropped into
a church one Sunday morning and
was put by himself in a pew directly
in front of tho minister. who preach.
ed a sermon on the text. Am my
brothers keeper"
The parson, who was unusually elo-
quent. talked on this theme for about
forty minutes. and finally worked up
to the climax of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little
Upton, who began to fidget and look
very self-conscious. At last, after an
overwhelming outpouring Of long
words, the minister, his eyes blaz-
ing, made a quick gesture and shouted
at the boy:

Upton could stand the strain nc
longer, and replied. in meek voice:

Pierre.-Rain to the extent Of 1.S1
inches has fallen at Pierre since July
l, and as much more has fallen
throughout the whole western coun
try, changing the rather dubious pros
pect for any crop to the practical as
surance of big things for corn. forage
and potatoes, and large Increase for
small grain. The extent of the rain
is evidenced by the fact that Bad riv-
err, ordinarily quiet as a mill pond. is
running like a mill race-in fact,
power boats are unable to make any
progress against it, and it is falling
at least IL inches into the Missouri,
something that has not happened
since the famous flood of 1904, when it
was four feet higher than the larger
river.

$239.05 for the month. During May
1884 10-gallon cans of cream, or a to

distinction of being the largest cream
