OLDEST SETTLER
OF Stanley County Is Hale and Hearty
at 80 Years.

Pierre, Aug. 17.-There was an
immense attendance at the Stanley
county old settlers meeting, which
was designated as Pierre day, and
Pierre went over in force to help
make the day a success. Probably
the oldest settler vas Louis LaPlant,
yet hale and vigorous at over 80
years of age. He made several trips
up the Missouri into this country and
into Canada before 1850, and came
up as a representative of the Ameri-
can Fur company in 1855, since
which time he has made his home in
the Dakotas, most of the time about
Fort Pierre up to several years ago,
when he went into the Cheyenne
river section, where he is now operat-
ing an irrigated farm. The celebra-
ton was to celebrate the twenty-ifth
anniversary of the organization of
Fort Pierre as an organized town,
and one of the features was that of
Martin Kennedy, acting on the police
force, and the fact that he was the
whole police force" of Fort Pierre
at the time of it's organization.

this morning brought to The Daily

Russian thistle plant which was on
siderably larger than a bushel bas-
ket. Mr.. Clark plucked the plant
near the grain elevators and without
leaving the sidewalk. The Russian
| thistle plant is said to be becoming
somewhat numerous In this vicinity,
being especially plentiful along the
railroad right of way and upon the
highways. also specimens are begin
ming to be found in the fields. They
are a prolific grower, and 1T is said a

broadcast by the weed rolling before
the wind when it becomes ripe and
is detached from the ground.

JACKET MILK CANS
DAIRY DIVISION OF THE DE-
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
MAKES TESTS.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE dairy
division of the department of agricul-
ture has just completed a series of
tests on the change in temperature of
milk in cans during transportation
from the farm to the consumer. These
tests established the Importance of
jacketing cans of milk with some APP
propriate insulating material.
1t has been found that milk that
has to be sent only short distances or
preserved for only a few hours should
maintain q temperature of less than
so degrees. Even at these tempera-
lures, some bacteria will multiply
and cause the souring of the milk,
but the increase is slow and during
a few hours no SERIOUS results will
occur. A temperature well below so
degrees fahrenheit, however, mate
rally decreases the rate of bacterial
growth.
On the other hand where milk is to
be shipped long distances, the initial
temperature must be lower, assum-
ing that no provision is made for
maintaining the original temperature
during transportation. Where milk
is in transit for several hours it is
necessary to cool it down to near the
freezing point. So soon as the milk
can, however is exposed to air tempe
nature, and especially to the sun, the
temperature of the milk begins to
rise very rapidly and every precau-
ton should be taken to keep ii from
being raised to the outside heat,
A series of experiments was re-
Gently made in shipping milk cooled
TO so degrees. In these cases the cans
were set in an open truck, with no
covering to shield them from the di-
rect a V of the sun. The milk was
hauled a distance of 13 miles and the
average air temperature during the
trip was 82.65 degrees. The expert
ment showed that the cans that were
| hair-quilt jacketed showed a raise OF
only u degrees in three hours in
the temperature of the milk. The
cans that were wrapped with wet bur
lap showed a milk temperature oil
5Sh degrees in the same period or a
| raise of 8R degrees. The milk In
the unjacketed rose in three hours to
l7Sh degrees or a rise OF 2SR
degrees.
1t is obvious from these figures
| that it pays to jacket the cans, in
order to maintain a low temperature
| during transportation.
