WILL ZELLBE WET
ASK 3 COUNTIES
Where Hand, Faulk and Sphinx
Corner Autos 90

Pierre, S. D., April 10. 1913
The.saloon situation in the vicin-
ity of Zell is in apparently more or
less of a complicated situation, with
Jungworth, the saloon man at that
place, somewhat in the best position.
Zell is not Incorporated, and Rock
ham in the same township is incor-
porated. The law of last winter
prohibits a township saloon within
five miles of an incorporated town
which has voted dry. and the matter
so far as Rockham is concerned has
gone to the courts to decide as to
wet or dry. With Rockham dry,
Zell could not have a saloon as it is
just barely within the five mile limit
But Mr. Jungworth anticipated, and
at the township elections in March
he secured a license vote in Zell
township, Faux Co., to allow him to
operate at Zell if the conditions were
favorable; at the same time he Sc
cured a license vo,e in Plato town.
ship, Hand county, the township and
county line being one of the main
streets of Zell. If he is barred from
the town proper he is now in shape
to go a few rods across the line into
Hand county and set up in business
regardless of the taulk county situa-
ton. Incidentally Zell is just six
miles from Redaeld. and 1t is said
that there has been a mighty we'll
worm auto trail established between
Redfeld and Zell since the drouth
set in at Redfeld several years ago,
and as it will continue for at least
another year that trail is likely to be
kept open, with another coming in
from Rockham to help make Zell a
popular resort on warm evenings
with Mr. Jungworth reaping the
benefit of his foresight.

Kids Start a Fire

HiQhmore Herald. About nine
o'clock Monday night, Father Du-
quay discovered fire in the McGlinchy
Hotel and about the same time dis
covered a coun'e of kids beating it"
w the alley. His first thought was
to overtake the kids. find out who
they were and make them return
and assist in putting out the fire. so
he gave chase. but the fleet footed
youngsters were too much for the
Reverend gentleman and he had to
give up the chase. The fire was
soon put out and no great damage
resulted.

ing to take a rise out Of him, sent
over his hired man to ask if he
could have the loan of his ros cut
saw to cut up a turnip so as to get
it into a wagon. He vas not quite
sure, however, that he had the best
of it when he received the following
reply: you could have had the saw
with pleasure. but | have just got it

That MIX Cow

Now that we again turn to the old
tried and sensible plan of milking
cows as an important part of farm
enterprise, it is we'll to do it right.
Its possibilities may be seen from
the experiments at the Brookings
Agricultural College, where Geo. A.
Starring describes the record of one
Holstein COW. called Belle WAYNE"
Her official record last year was the
worlds second highest. Of course
no n expects ordinary farm cows
to do so well, but it shows what is
possible, and encourages efforts to
improve. Here is the report:
The official seven day record show
ed a yield of 824 8 pounds of milk
containing 2S.3 pounds of butter fat,
equalling 353 pounds of butter.
This was nearly fifteen gallons of
milk per day. Her official thirty-day
record was 3.338.l pounds of milk
containing 1865 pounds of fat,
equalling 145.7 pounds of butter.
This was an average of nearly four
teen gallons per day for a month.
But what's more, the College has
other cows which average thirty five
quarts of milk per day. A few of
them are two year old heifers which
give 65 tots pounds of milk per day
after their first calf.
What is the importance of the
foregoing anyway? Why so much
fuss and feathers over a cow or tSo?
Just this: it shows what may be
done by any farmer who will elimin-
ate the star boarders from his herd
and pay proper attention to feeding
daily care and breeding.
