REMEDY FOR
HOG CHOLERA
Expert Gives Out Remedy TO Pre-
uent Disease

Centerville, S. D.. Oct 10. Special
% t. Holmquist, manager of the
yard OF a lumber company in Cen
terville, announces that for some
time his company has had experts at
work investigating the ravages of
hog cholera, which during the past
few weeks have caused heavy losses
to the farmers of South Dakota. As
a result of these Investigations the
company now announces a simple
remedy for the prevention of hog
cholera, it being stated that the pre-
sciiption can be put up for about
fifteen cents. The remedy is com
posed of the following: Fifty
pounds of coal screenings. three and
one-half pounds common salt, two
pounds sulphate of iron; feed scme
of this daily. Tests made with this
remedy by practical men have, it is
said, demonstrated that it IS almost
a sure preventative of the dreaded
cholera.

Income Exceeds Land Value

Spencer, Oct. 13.-The most pro-
fitable 1G acres of land IN South Da-
kota is believed to be in a tract of
this size which belongs to j. I. Cur
ney. living in this vicinity. This
season he planted the l6 r to
potatoes, and now is marketing the
crop, for which he IS receiving Is
cents per bushel. AS the yield was
200 bushels per acre his income from
the crop is $3.50 per acre-several
times the value of the land, The
income from the l6 acres for a SIN
gle season would pay the present
value of the land and leave him a
sufficient sum to purchase and pay
for a number Of additional acres,
should he wish to do so.

Approves Votes Against Tariff

The Dakotan does not take any
stock ii the general assault being
made upon Senator Crawford and
Senator Sterling on their vote on
the tariff bill. While it is true they
assailed the Payne-Aldrich bill and
claimed it was not downward re-
vision, the Underwood bill goes to
the other extreme. We believe they
voted the way the big majority of
their constituents would have had
them vote, although time alone will
demonstrate whether they were
right or not. Had we been in the
senate u vote would have been
cast just as theirs was Pierre Da-
kotan.

Gam Fish Removed

Pierre. Oct. 16.-Game Warden
Hedrick reports that through the
permission of the game commission
to sein In the Jim river and at Lake
kampeska, that all non-game fish
may be removed. the Mennonites and
others IN Hanson and Hutchinson
counties have taken about 1900
pounds of carp and buffalo from the
Jim river. which at a value of five
cents per pound would be nearly
81 900 in value, as the fish are used
as food by the persons taking them.
In Lake Kampeska approximately
1000 pounds of carp and buffalo
have been removed, with a value at
the low estimate of five cents a pound
of $3.50. The SEEMING in these places
IS conducted by special permit and
the work must be done under the
surveillance of a deputy game war
den, and all game fish must be cast
back into the water. The fish taken
out for use have been chiefly carp
and buffalo. Besides the commercial
value thus given those permitted to
do the seinlng. the game fishing
value in the Jim river and Lake
Kampeska will be improved by the
removal of such large numbers of
non.game fish.

KEEP YOUR LAND
1T WILL KEEP YOU
What Has Made Land So VaIu'
able Elsewhere?

A friend handed into this office
several clippings from Illinois papers
giving accounts of the sale of farms
IN that state. One farm of $50 acres
near Shirley, Ill.,, brought S275 per
acre; a Mclean county farm of l5S
acres brought S3l6.45 per acre: an
so acre farm near fremont sold for
$500 per acre These lands have
reached their present high value by
reason of age and surrounding devel-
opment. of course. because the actu-
al production of farm staples on this
land would not cause it to be worth
those prices, Seyenty-five or eighty
years of development, railroad
building and city making has brought
this Illinois land up from S. per
acre. We have at least one aged
citizen of Miller, the writer knows
of, who saw this Illinois land go beg
ging at So per acre. Undoubtedly
many persons in those days sold
their good piece of land for a song.
Also undoubtedly they could have
held that piece of land for them
selves and their children until it be-
came very valuable, If they had not
been discouraged and impatient.
Why didn't they do it? Well, many
did. and they or their children reap
ed the benefit. Others became dis
couraged and let go-like other men
have done from that day to this.
When the first settlers came to
Miller thirty to thirty-two years ago,
they came over So to S. per acre
land in southwestern Minnesota.
Twenty years later this land had
slowly crawled up to $25 to $50 per
acre and stopped there. During the
past six years this same land has
jumped to sos to 500 per acre.
Again undoubtedly many land
owners Of southern Minnesota let go
for a small price during the past
twenty years-and wish now they
had not.
And do you imagine, reader, the
lands above referred to raised a
good big crop in all of those years of
development? You know they did
not. Time and years of occupancy
finally brought a realization of de-
velopment and value and perman-
m IN the lands Of Illinois and
Minnesota, once supposed to be Of
little worth
Some dav this same realization
will come to the people of South
Dakota living east of the Missousi
river, IN regard to their own lands.
which have already obtained the de-
veiopment of one generation. With
out this time development there is
no value to any land. But with
time and development all history
shows that values follow. Does any
one believe that Illinois land will sell
at $500 and Minnesota land remain
at 500? Is it reasonable to believe
that Minnesota land will go to 500
to 5000 and that South Dakota land
will stay down to S25 to $40? Ger
tainly not.
Keep your land-and it will keep
you.

The Press Is authorized by
Attorney Harlan j. Bushfield, of
Miller, to announce his candidacy for
the nomination of Attorney General
before the republican primaries of
South Dakota. He is a pioneer of
Hand county. graduated from the
Miller high school, learned the
printers trade during vacations, at
tended college at Mitchell, and
graduated from the law department
of the Minnesota state university,
class 1904. He served hve years as
city attorney Of Miller, and four
years as states attorney of Hand
county. He has been actively en-
gagged in the practice of law in the
courts of South Dakota for nine
years. His friends believe that his
training and experience qualities
him for the duties of this office, and
he respectfully asks the support of
republican voters at the spring pri-
maries

The above announcement speaks
for itself. 1t Is bit personal for
the Press, but Harlan needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people Of Hand
county, where the Press cIrculates
and where he has spent practically
all the years of his life as boy and
man.-which fact relieves the Press
from the necessity or desire for rer-
sonal comments which it would be
pleased to make Of any other Hand
county boy.
1t has been seldom that the repub-
licans of Hand county have asked
for a place upon the state ticket, and
after considerable encouragement
from prominent republicans both at
home and over the state, Harlan de-
cided to become a candidate for this
Office, largely because ITS duties are
in the line of his chosen profession.
Ii this meets with the approval of
Hand county republicans he will
very greatly appreciate their sup
port in his home county.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
