FARM COLLEGE
Discussion of the Subject at the
Mitchell Grain Show

Mitchell, Jan. 16.-The combined
opening sessi oDs of the South Dakota
Corn and Grain Growers association
and Live Stock Breeders association,
was addressed by A. E. Hitchcock,
mayor Of Mitchell and president of the
regents of education.
Mr.. Hitchcock said one of the
greatest needs of South Dakota, to
aid toward better farming, is a
stronger agricultural college and ex-
pertinent station. He said the college
and station should do more work,
and that this increased work should
be extended to the farms of the state
by mean of demonstrations. At
present he says the work of the farm
ers' school Is much restricted. due to
the present lack of coordination in the
state schools of South Dakota. Ex-
p%erience in older states, as well as our
own, has demonstrated that too many
schools, all with duplicated courses
of study, leaves tCo little money for
the best work in agriculture.
He believes the farmers of South Da
kots should demand of the board of
regents of education the prevention CT
waste of funds by duplication, thus
making it possible to do more and
better work in agriculture.

and nobody ever succeeded in roping
her.
About a year ago Chuck Hall. a
butcher at Faith. S d., Ed Carr and
Phil Ellison QUILTED and started after
the COW They got sight of her in a
day or two. and gradually drew closer
TO where she was grazing Carr stalked
her from behind a bill when the wind
was favorable. Peeiing over the ridge,
Carr saw the COW not more than a hun
dred yards distant. His 6Ist sho.
merely wounded her. and she charged
viciously upon him. A second shot
bTought her down. Hall has her head
mounted in his butcher shop at Faith.
ION this same hunt. and in the
same locality where the buffalo COW
was found, these hunters made an
other kill that added a trophy TO
their expedition.
For niue years there had been an
outlaw steer Of giant size ranging
the country. His color was solid
white, and he could be seen for miles
on a bright. sunshiny day. His horns
were of phenomenal size and breadth.
He carried the bTsnd of the old Tur-
key Track ranch, Once one of the most
widely known outfits in the West. and
whose headquarters were far down in
the Texas Panhandle. in the neigh
borhood Of Dolby Walls, where the
battle between buffalo hunters and a
big war party Of Comsnche Indians
took place in the early 7Os.
The most persistent effort extending
through a period of years failed to get
this old steer to the railroad when
cattle shipments were made. He wonla
drift in for miles, but seemed to have
a kind of uncanDy intuition Of final
danger, and at night would sneak
away from the herd and return to his
old freedom. Usually a steer will
stay with the herd to the end
Hall and his companions shot the
old fellow, and his horns are hanging
in the butcher shop at Faith. He
bad been a moving landmark for years
in that part of South Dakota, and, like
the buffalo COW, was perhaps the last
of his kind, as the old Turkey Track
ranch is gone, and cattle no longer
are brought up the trail from the
Panhandle country to the north"

At PIERRE.


Pierre, Jan. 16.-The question of
appropriations Is early coming to the
front. Berg. of M~innehaha, started
the movement in the house this after
noon by the introduction Of a Joint
resolution requiring the appropriations
committee Of both houses to report the
general bill not later than the forty
fifth day OF the session. and further.
that nothing should be allowed in the
general bill for the maintenance Of
any beard or commission created by
the present session. This is intended
to stop such a deadlock as closed the
last session in regard to the immigrs-
ton department.
Bankers will be interested in the
introduction by Youngquis It Of the
uniform negotiable instrument law
which is in force in many states, and
is desired by the banking fraternity in
this state.

resolution for a constitutional amend

ARTES|AN WELL
Edgmont Viii Soon Posses a
Hot Water Gusher

Edgemont, Jan. l6.-In the heal fu-
ture Edgemont will be the possessor of
a hot water gusher, one of the few such
artesian wells in the United States.
In addition TO this unique feature the
well also will be one Of the deepest
artesian wells in the country. The
enormous depth of 1886 feet already
has been reached. and it is planned to
drill The we'll about 100 feet deeper to
the stratum which contains the supply
of hot water. The drilling Of the well
has been id progress many weeks, and
as the drill sinks deep,r into the
bowels of the earth the progress be
comes slower. Just at present the
work is being delayed because the
constant hammerinS of the drill caused
the boom joint Of the casing TO fall to
the bottom of the we'll. This loosened
Joint now is gripped by a cable running
to surface, bat In order to recover il
the entire casing now in the well must
be raised by clamping the top each time
it is raised. n joint and a section IN
screwed. The task is made all the
harder by the fact that the cable
must be kept taut to the bottom and
at the same time all the cable above
ground must be drawn through every
section Of the casing to release the
latter. The deep well has a very good
flow of water. but ii is expected a
much stronger flow will be struck
when the well is sunk deeper.
