ATTEMPT TO
WRECK TRAIN
Dynamite Placed on Milwaukee
Track.

Redfeld. S. D.. Jan. ll.--What
was evidently an attempt to wreck
passenger train No. l04 on the Mil
wsukee was made a little over a
mile west of Redfeld, as the train
twas pulling~out of here.
Two large sticks of dynamite and
a heavy crowbar were found on tire
track at a point where, had the en-
gIne been derailed while going at a
fair rate of speed. the entire train
would have toppled off a twenty FIVE
foot embankment. That the wreck
was averted was due tn a warning
sent to the operator at the depot a
few minutes before the train las
due to leave. The warning was
given by a farmer living near the
scene of the proposed outrage. who
telephoned that a suspicious looking
fellow was seen near the track just
a. darkness Was coming on, and that
it would be well to keep a sharp
look out.
Conductor Fargo. in charge of the
train, accompanied by other mem
bers of the crew went forward to
investigate about 400 feet beyond
where the train stopped they found
the obstruction on the track. The
crowbar was wired to the rails and
the dynamite placed against it in
such a manner that the engine would
surely have exploded it by the slight
est contact.

THE DAIRY COW
AND HER PRODUCT
Growth of the Industry in Hand County in
Later Years

Above is the record of cream ship
ments from Miller during 1912. as
furnished the Press by the four
dealers engaged in the business,
Messrs- Stockton. Clifford, Dunn and
Cloudy. This report shows a record
of growth that will surprise many
people. because they have considered
the dairy businets rather an unim-
portant resource.
The Review reports that Rec
Heights shipped cream during 1912
to a value of $lS,0 600, which brings
the total close to $4,000 for these
two points alone. Other shipping
points for Hand county would be
st. Lawrence, Vayland, Washington.
Tulare, Zell. Rockham and Orient.
The Press has no figures from these
towns, but it is safe to estimate the
total shipment Of cream from Hand
county during 1912 at a Total of
500. 900.
This value brings the dairy bust
less into the limelight as one of
considerable Importance, especially
when the butter made in the county
is added to it. a a...
Great changes are noted in this
product during this county's deYel-
opment. In the early days there
were very few cows in the county
and almost no ~dairying. The AVER
age farmer had one COW for his own
milk and butter, and town people
shipped in creamery butter. Later.
as the natural growth of calves
brought more milk cows, there was
little lnducement to engage in dairy
ing, because the price of butter was
only s and 10 cents. The shipping
of cream was an unknown industry.
In still later wears of development
the creamery supply men t1ocked
into the state and established many
creameries. They were a good
thing for most communities, but as
soon as the big central plants OBJ
tanned express rates for their e
cans, the small cooperative cream-
cries could not compete with them.
and the present method of cream
shipments began to grow. 1t will
continue to grow as the dairy indus
try develops, unit! some better
method of disposing of the product
is established. Today these cream
cans ian be seen lined up on the
platforms of every station in this
part of the state-proving beyond a
doubt that the bossy cow is an i'm
portant factor among the resources
of this locality.

PRIZES FOR CORN
AND
Farmers Institute Attractive to
Producers

The annual institute to discuss
matters Of interest to farmers will
be held at Miller Thursday and Fri
day, January 30-31. These institutes
are for the purpose of bringing the
work Of the agricultural colleges to
the farmers, because comparatively
few of the farmers 70 to the col
leges or experiment stations TO OBJ
serve the work being carried on
there.
There is a best way to everything
in life, and it is the purpose and in
tention of the state-supported agri-
cultural colleges to find what is best
to raise on the farm. and the best
way to do it. The people of the
state are paying for this knowledge,
and the people of the state
should have the benefit thereof.
Hence these institutes held annually
throughout the state to spread this
knowledge among producers.
AS we are an agricultural country,
all cities and towns are equally in
terested with the farmer. because
all business is based upon returns
from the farm. So it is but natural
that all business men should wish
for any progress which will increase
quantity and quality Of farm pro-
ducts. That the knowledge impart-
ed by experts who are paid to secure
it through study and practical ex-
periments will do this. rs amply
proved by the records of other states
and other countries.
To make the coming institute at
tractlve and more interesting, if pos
sible. Miller business men. through
their commercial club, will endeavor
TO assist the state institute people
by offering prizes for the best ex-
hibits of various products of the
farm which may be displayed OF this
season of the year; such as corn, po-
tatoes. poultry, butter, bread and
women's cooking.
The Press believes that il would
be time proitably spent for every
farmer and wife and their older
children to attend this two days
meeting, and secure the experience
and knowledge they are helping to
pay for at the experimental stations.
