Slow. Stephan

They all laughed At Stephan with
the careless unh1ndnsss of youth and
the burden OF thslr laughter was that
he was SO slow. He even was slow
at resenting their fun at his expense.
Like most big perSons. stephan moved
ponderously and his speech was heavy
and slow. Something in his mild blue
eyes seemed to question. but that
was all the notice he took OF the
others taunts.
The reason that he had SO little
time to devote 70 worrying over his
countrymen's opinion Of him was that
Stephan's mind was taken up with
Rosa to the exclusion Of all else He
pert little smiling face and charming
ways. Rosa dasesd across the line Of
stephan's visioa and left him gasp
ing. fguratively speaking Sometimes
he gasped In reality-that was when
Rosa turned the batteries of her
quick wit upon him and left his mind
whirling because Of his inability to
reply to one speech before she at
tackled him again. She laughed at
him along with the others. yet she
did not seem laspleased at his de-
votion.
Stephan was good looking. although
this fact had nsvsr occurred to him.
He was modest and allowed himself
to be elbowed out Of the way by
others more audacious If less worthy.
Rosa was always surrounded by ad-
mirers and Stephan lurked dismaliy
in the background. patiently waiting
for a glance In his direction. Rosas
glances came his way at times.
Stella, who was Rosa's most inti-
mate friend. 5esred Rosa for being

him on, but that was merely girlish

thing more. OF late Josef had
wearied her.

a sudden. Il suppose you think you'll

Josef and paraded him before Stella
and the others. Perhaps this unusual
leniency on her part really pleased
him, for he seemed more natural and
sincere Rosa even thought she had
misjudged him. There seemed more
to Josef than she had surmised-per-
haps he was not such a shallow man
after all.
Before she knew how 1t happened

FLOWING BY

Farming with dynamite, says a
writer in the June Strand, has grasp
ed the United States and is spreading
throughout Canada and Mexico like a
prairie fire. The farmers who have
tried it swear by it. and are upheld
by the leading authorities in agricul-
tural science. 1t cen a strange way
OF making the ground bring forth its
produce in plenty. but there is no get
ting way from the fact that it acts.
The explosive force OF dynamite
when it is fred is expended for the
most part downward. If a pound of
this explosive is laid upon the ground
and detonated it will tear a big hole
on the spot where it was lying. In
every case where a huge charge of
dynamite has gone off Unexpectedly,
a huge pit is dug. Consequently,
when dynamite cartridges are sunk

into the soil and the hole above the
stick is filed with rammed earth or
"tamped," as 1t is called, so that the
shot cannot blow out harmlessly, the
force Of the explosion is exerted
downwards, disintegrating the earth
in all directions to a depth of five or
six feet, the gases eventually finding
a vent into the air through the ere
vices the blast has made through the
subsoil.
When news of this method OF
breaking up the ground first leaked
out it was received with considerable
derision among the sc%eptical, but the
agricultural specialist realized that
there was a method in the backwoods-
mans apparent madness. The exper-
mental farmers tested the matter for
themselves and found that there was
a decided difference in a plot OF
ground, one half OF. which had been
Blasted and the other ploughed in the
usual manner when sown with seed
from one harvest. The blasted
ground was found to produce crops
running from ffty per cent upwards
In superiority and yield.
This clinched the argument In favor
Of dynamite farming. but then an

other difficulty arose. Dynamite is a
peculiar tool with which to pursue
agricultural operations. 1t must be
handled in a certain manner, must
not be subjected to violent extremes
of temperature, freezes quickly; in
fact, was just the implement which
the average farmer would not use

up.

mite which the ordinary blaster used
for removing rocks to admit of the
building of railways, harbors, and
other works were all very well but it
demanded the services of an accom-
plished hand. Accordingly the chem
lists sought to prepare q special dyna-
mite, suited to- farm use. and which
would be far safer to handle.

of the school fund, to the different
counties over the state, the total
amount going out being $361,524 as
common school apportionment. This
is at the rate of 1882 for each pupil of
the public schools of the state, and Is
40 cents for each pupil in excess OF any
other June apportionment made. This
heavy apportionment for June is large
ly on account of the changes in the
manner of fixing. lease valuations ON
lands of the state, and which has run
the lease receipts to a higher figure
than for former years. The agricul-
tural leases have not come up to the
expectation of the promoters Of that
plan of handling state lands. The total
receipts for this year from agricultural
leases only amounting to $17.630. In
addition to the common school APP
portionment, the department will also
send out an apportionment of $1S,S9S
to the different endowed educational
institutions of the state. The amount
of $362,033 Of permanent school will
be supplied to the counties which are
waiting for this fund for loaning pur-
poses.

THE CROP

State immigration Commissioner
Deets has sent out a letter to the
banks over the state, asking as to
crop conditions In the vicinity of the
locations where the queries have been
made. lie has been receiving replies
from all sections of the state, and the
general report Is a condition ranging
from 80 per cent up to 100 per cent.
Not only is the condition at the best,
but a large increase in crop acreage
Is reported.
The territory east OF the Jim river
shows but small increase of acreage
OF small grain crops, but heavy in
crease in corn acreage. West of the
Jim river an increase in wheat is
noted, but the heaviest increase ap-
pears to be in fax, oats, corn and al
falfa, this increase in some localities
being placed as high as 800 per cent
for the locality reporting. Every Sec
tion reports the crop condition as
good as could be asked, and most of
them put their estimate at "the best
ever"
These reports are from men who
are interested in crop conditions, and
who take note OF the true situation
and certainly make n good showing
for the state up to this stage of the
game.

A TRIP WHICH PAID

The editor took a trip east of Pierre
along the Missouri river last Monday
and came back with a thorough be-
lief that every acre of bottom land
on both sides of the river will, in a
short time be worth several hundred
dollars per acre. Messrs. Vandercook
and Roberts of this city, have a farm
of over three hundred acres which
will be placed under irrigation as fast
as the work can be done. The plant
Is being installed and they have twen-
~ or thirty acres in cultivation now.
All their land is first class bottom
land and can easily be irrigated.
Just below them is the farm of the
House Brothers. They have about
seven hundred acres, OF which some
four hundred is bottom land. Last
yea twenty acres of alfalfa brought
over one hundred dollars an acre in
seed, besides securing three cuttings
Of hay. This year they have in over
one hundred acres OF alfalfa and ex-
pect to put in an irrigation plant in
the near future. They were making
the first cutting of alfalfa the day we
were UP there and 1t sure was a sight
worth seeing.
There are several hundred more
acres which will be put under irriga-

GOLD AND REAL ESTATE

The Free Press has several times in
vited attention to the effect of the
great output Of gold upon real estate
values as well as values Of other
kinds. Gold is falling in value and
real estate is going mp. 1t therefore
pays better to have real estate than
gold. The National City bank of New
York has Just issued a circular in
which 1t shows that the worlds sup
ply of gold Is increasing the cost of
living, as the gold, and all money
based on the gold unit, buys less and
less.
The gold output OF the mines OF the
world for this year is estimated at
$i50,000, 900, or $4,000, 900 more than
the total for last year. At the present
rate Of increase, and there Is r.
reason to believe it will fall off, the
annual production will be 100000, 00C
in 1912. The total gold output of the
worlds mines from the time Columbus
discovered America in 1892 up TO 1880,
inclusive, was approximately $6,S05,
e22,0 00. The total since 1850 has been
5000, 935 900, or nearly as much In
the last twenty-eight years as during
the previous 4SS years. At present
