HENDRICKS

From the Pioneer:
Chris. o. Olson returned the latter
part of last week from a potato buying
trip over in a number of South Dakota
towns. The Hendricks Produce Co.
shipped about $4,000 bushels of spuds
and could have had as much more but
as the price has been on the decline
the risk was great enough with the
shipment which they made.

SPECIAL STOCK PREMIUMS AT
STATE FAIR

To encourage the exhibition of
horses and cattle at the 1913 State
Fair, the Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture announces that an addi-
tional premium of 80 per cent Of that
won (where there is competition) will
be given for animals owned in South
Dakota. This should be an induce
ment for u breeders to fit something
for the fair. With this arrangement
it would be a great honor to win even
a third prize, when We consider the
class Of horses and cattle that have
been shown in recent years at Huron.
1t is not too early to plan now on TAX
ing stock to the state fair. The ad.
vertising received by exhibiting will
more than compensate the breeder for
the extra expense and trouble. BY
Prof. J. w. Wilson.

WHIPPED CREAM

According to experiments that have
been carried on by different expert
ment stations, cream testing 20 per
cent or better, and held at a tempera-
ture between 40 and SO degrees
Fahrenheit long enough will seldom
fail to whip. Cream taken directly
from the separator and cooled down
imediately and used, will seldom whip.
IL 1t is allowed to stand 40 minutes at

readily. About 33 per cent or IS per

conform to the new constitutional amend
ment providing for the direct election Of
senators, was debated for upward of an
hour in the Senate today. The bill, it is

where the elections are to be held there
is no prospect for a meeting of the state
legislature to pass the necessary laws
for the direct election of senator's prior
to the next general election.
