DAIRY AND ALFALFA SPECIAL

There was large crowd at the pas
senger station to meet the dairy special
train from the State Agricultural Col
lege at Brookings, which arrived here
on Tuesday. and some splendid talks by
various experts with the train were
heard. Exhibits were shown in sever
al of the cars, and the COW exhibit was
shown on the lecture car of the train.
The special is one of the most credita-
BILE things of its kind ever attempted
anywhere, and will work much good.
At Pierre the crowd to meet it was ex-
oeptionally large, but everywhere that
the train has made stops there have
been many farmers to hear the talks
and look over the displays.
The address by DR.. Taylor Of Chi
cago and Prof. Shaw of ST. Paul were
good. People in this section of the
state have never had before such an
opportunity to hear the leading men in
agricultural work speak on their spec
ial subjects, and much interest was
manifested in the remarks of these gem
tlemen, Both are men who are widely
known and recognized authorities along
the lines in which they are working.
DR.. Taylor is among the greatest soil
experts OF the country. He maintains
several experimental stations and is
better fitted to discuss soil conditions
than any man appearing in this city be-
fore. His talk was easily understood
and practical, although based on scien-
tlfic investigation, and his address was
every word of it of value to the farmer.
He explained soil elements, their value,
how the soil is robbed of them by the
wrong kind of farming and how the nec-
essary constituents may be put back
into the ground by the growth of legu-
minous plants. DIR, Taylor's theory is
that the wealth Of a country is in the
soil and that the only successful coun-
try will be the one which conserves
that wealth.
Prof. Shaw is another able speaker
and man we'll fitted for the work he
ls doing. His speciality is corn and
alfalfa, the two really important
crops for this section of the west. he
claims. He pointed out the necessity
of raising these two crops, the value
to the land, the profit to the farmer,
and the saving when they are proper
~ raised and properly fed. not only
to the individual but to a whole sec.
tion of country Every farmer IN the
state of South Dakota ought to hear
Prof. Shaw's talk.

HITCHCOCK FOR AGRICULTURE

A. E. Hitchcock of Mitchell, presi-
dent of the State Board of Regents,
gave the address at the dedication
of the auditorium in the new agri-
cultural hall of the State college.
His remarks were pointedly directed
toward the great agricultural needs
of South Dakota. He said, in part:
"The graduates of the State college
must demonstrate that great careers
may be made in farming as we'll as in
law, banking, teaching and other pro-
fessions. They must show that scien-
tific farming is most profitable busi-
ness in spite Of the high price of
land. They must introduce modern
business methods into agricultural
operations. All these things are
vitality important because agricul-
ture is At the top, the bottom and in
the center of all that South Dakota
can give to the world"
Regent Hitchcock emphasized the
point that the farm home ought to be
as pleasant and convenient as the
city home. 1t should be we'll arrang-
ed, well lighted, equipped with fur.
mace and bath room, and everything
necessary to make it delightful
place in which to live. The country
schools, also, should be we'll housed
and equipped for giving as good
training as that afforded by the town
and city schools. "All of these
things must be done in the future, y
he said "and their speedy accom-
plishment form part of the vision
of modern students of agriculture.
You students at the South Dakota
State college must keep this vision
before you, repeat it to others, work
for it constantly, and in time it Will
come to pass"
Mr.. Hitchcock pointed out that
graduates Of agricultural colleges
had in the past looked after their
individual interests in carving out
careers not always closely connected
with farming, the graduates of today
must look to making moral and civic
careers that will directly aid the up
lifting of rural life. EVERY depart
ment of the South Dakota State Col
lege," he said SHOULD cooperate in
training students for not only carry
Ing on scientific farming but also for
taking an active part in local and
state problems of social. economic
and political nature"

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS

Thousands of republican voters of
South Dakota failed to register their
names during the period ending Oc-
tober 81, as required by the provi-
sions of the Richards primary cleo
tion law, and prospects now are that
q very short vote will be cast at the
primary elections in March. While
no definite figures yet are at hand, it
10 estimated that not more than 40
600 republican votes will be cast in
March. Should this prove to be the
case, it is estimated that in cases
where there are several candidates
for the same Office the SUCCESSFUL
candidate can win 9 victory by secur-
ing from 1900 to q, 600 votes.

THE DAIRY COW

Abstract of Professor G. Larsen's
address on The Dairy Cow AMI Her
Use on South Dakota Farms
The Dairy Cow is living machine.
Her chief work is to change field crops
into human food. If she is the right
kind of a COW and has the right kind Of
man back of her, she will double the
income from the crops grown.
The dairy COW must have:
/. A strong constitution, Indicated
by large lung capacity, large fresh air
inlets. full and deep heart girth, bright
eyes, mellow loose skin and clean cut
feminine, calm, yet resolute appear
ance.
2. Large, efficient capacity to hold
and digest food. This is chiefly indi-
Gated by deep, wide and long barrel
and loose, mellow, soft skin.
3. Good blood circulation. This is
chiefly indicated by the COW having
large branching and long milk veins.
large and numerous milk wells, long
and well elldeveloped escutcheon or milk
mirror and loose mellow skin.
q. A good strong nervous system.
This if indicated by her healthy, lean,
bright appearance: by prominent
straight open jeinted back bone and a
wide forehead. The nervous system
controls the operation of all the vital
organs.
5. Large udder capacity. This is
chiefly indicated by the fore udder ex-
tending well forward and the hind, I'D
der attached high between the thighs.
The udder should also be wide and level.
The thighs of a COW should be high and
well apart and she should have great
breadth over hips, pin bones and.
rump.
In addition to these factors, q dairy
COW should have symmetry and beauty
of form. A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link; the dairy COW is no
better as producer than her weakest
part.

sands of people in the past two weeks
have come down town nights to see
the ghost" in the portico of the First
Baptist church of this city, which was
discovered only two weeks ago, though
1t has been present just as visibly for
fifteen years or more and never NO
ticed before.
The discovery was accidental. Il
young lady stepped into the entrance
of the church in the heart of the bust
ness section of the city one evening
after dark to tie her shoe lace.a She
fed screaming 10 the sidewalk and her
explanation was that she had seen
ghost. Investigation proved that the
apparition was no Pigment of an hys-
terical imagination On the side step
entering the main auditorium of the
church was the figure of a woman
draped in white yelling like bride
shrouded ip her wedding garments, a
tall woman she is, holding her vel
and white flowers with one hand and
lifting the trailing nebulous train be-
hind her. One foot is in the attitude
of stepping off the first step down to
the entrance space. Every fold of the
white garments, the bend of the ell
bow, every graceful draping of the
white shroud-veil is clear.
