Mr.. Dean through his years Of
experience in the past on q farm
and his natural progressive turn
of mind, has been led to believe
that an agricultural state like
South Dakota, with its millions
of acres of rich soil, has a great
future if the right methods of
farming are adopted. When a
crop of Feterita of SO to8O BUSH
els per acre can be raised in
countries that are known to be
very dry during the growing
season. we in South Dakota need
not be worrying about filling the
silo in the very driest of years.
All of the above named varieties
were raised without irrigation or
much cultivation. and can be
seen at the home of Mr.. Dean.
Samples will be shown at our
next Farmers Institute at Gro.
ton. These experiments are a
unique way of developing and
bringing to the front any COM
munity, as we'll as keeping us
from getting into that self-satis-
fed complacency which so often
hinders in bringing out what is
in s.-The Groton, Is. d., In
depent.

Railroads Combat
Travellers Demand
Thirty Officials Fight Appeal
For Lower Baggage Rates
Before Commission

More than thirty officials of
Minnesota railroads appeared
before the railroad and warehoue
commission to-day to combat a
demand Of the United CONNER
cial Travellers for an increase in
the limit on baggage carried
free and a decrease in the rates
on excess baggage. The hearing
which is expected will last two
days, took the shape Of detailed
comparison Of baggage regula-
tons of Minnesota and other
states.
The travellers are represented
by A. p; Fleckenstein OF the
supreme council, j. M. Dresser.
grand secretary for Minnesota
and J. c. Doncaster, a member
of the grand council.
Railway representatives pre-
sent included A. H. Wilde, as
sistant general passenger agent,
Great Northern road; A. B.
Cults, general passenger agent,
Minneapolis & st. Louis; j. c.
Poore, assistant general passeng-
er agent, Northern Pacific;
Ebene E. Macleod, chairman
Western Passenger association;
A. J. McDougall, district pass
enger agent, Illinois Central; H.
NJ. Lewis, 500 line: H. T.

D.. Calrick of the Milwaukee
road; Guy Warner of the Rock
Island; A. P. Briggs, general
council. and K. R. Reynolds and
A. l.. Craig of the Chicago Great
Western. and 7. A. McGrath Of
the St. Paul Association of Com
merce.
Mr.. Fleckenstein told the
the commission that a travelling
man representing a Montreal
house could leave Vancouver and
go by way of Seattle, Minnea-
polls, Detroit, Buffalo and back
into Canada and carry 300 pounds
of baggage free, but an Ameri-
can. starting at Seattle and 60
ing over the same route, would
be limited to $50 pounds.

are cheap, easy to construct,
silage will not freeze in them.
and are within the reach of every
mans purse the only cash out
lay being for the cement used in
plastering the wall. The pit
silo is adapted only to those Sec
tons of land wherein the water
does not come within 80 feet Of
the surface.
The concrete silos built either
with blocks, concrete slaves or
solid walls, are giving splendid
service, and are undoubtedly the
most durable ofall siIos. If men
will build their own. there is no
necessity of their being any
more expensive than the various
wooden types of silos.
Sand and gravel are not always
convenient and hence the wood
en- silo. They are easy to con-
struct from the fact that the
timber is cut to fit and full in
structioDs are always sent, so
that the farmer will have no
difficulty in erecting them.
Wooden silos should be strongly
reinforced with iron rods and
safely anchored to some SUBJ
stantial building to prevent their
spreading apart and blowing
down. They should also be kept
oiled and painted to preserve the
wood. There is no reason why
a good wooden silo should not
stand twenty-five to thirty years
With the many types and forms
available and the pit silo so easy
to construct. there is really no
excuse for every farmer who is
keeping live stock not having
one.

Axtell and passed entirely thru
his left arm about Z inches from
the shoulder, the third sho,
fired by Winnegar was directed
at Officer Schlong, the bullet
entered his coat on the right
side, was probably DETECTED
in its course by a large bundle
Of papers carried on the inside
OF his coat pocket, entered the
right side of his vest just under
the second button from the tor
and then out inflicting a slight
but painful wound in the left
arm about 3 inches above the
elbow. In the meantime AxtelI
hao brought his revolver into
action and the third shot from
the bandits gun and the first
shot from that of Axtell's were
almost simultaneous. 1t is
thought that the first bullet
from Axtell's revolver struck
the bandit in the right shoulder
thus disabling him, however,
owing to the darkness of the car
Winnegar could not be seen dis
tinctly and both officers fired
several shots at their assailant,
most Of which took effect and
when the firing ceased, bandit
Winaogar was dead and the two
officers wounded. 1t seems that
Smith, who was occupying the
car with Winnegar, had taken
no part in the assault on the
officers, and during the exchange
of shots had secreted himself
as we'll as possible behind some
porch columns on the north side
of the car. He ca lied out to the
officers not to fire on him as he
was unarmed and wanted no
trouble.
Doctors were at once sum-
moned to care for the wounded
officers and the dead bandit was
taken out Of the car and placed
in the freight depot, where
it was later viewed by the coro-
ner's jury.
There was scarsely anything
on the body to identify it anu
from the published descriptions
sent out of Harry Mathews, it
was first thought to be him, but
later Developments seem to
establish the identity as that of
J. w. Winnegar, of Butte, Mont,
a professional criminal, who is
wanted at Butte for highway
robbery. The authorities of that
place have been notified and an
officer from there is expected
here within a few days.
Roy Smith, the companion of
Winnegar in the car, maintains
that he knows nothing of the
man other than that he got into
the car while the train was at
Harlowton and states that
Winnegar said very little Of
himself, where he was from or
where he was going and that he
did not think he was a particular
ly dangerous fellow until the
gun play came up at Bowman,
and later when Winnegar want
ed him to take one of his guns
to use in case they were molested
on the way, and which he,
Smith, refused to do; that while
the car was being opened here,
and while the officers were
climbing into it he did not
know that Winnegar intended
to shoot until he opened fire on
them. Smith is being held pend
ing further investigation.

HghWayllan j W.
Wllnegd Is Killed
Meets Death in Pistol Battle With Officers
Axtell and Schlong At Lennon, on
"A
Monday Evening

While resisting arrest by De-
putty Sheriff Axtell and Special
Railroad Officer George Schlong.
J. w. Winnegar, of Butte, Mont,
and wanted there for highway
robbery, was shot and instantly
killed Monday evening about
z o'clock, in a box car loaded
with lumber. while the train was
standing in the Milwaukee
yards at this place.
1t appears that a man named
Roy Smith and Winnegar togeth-
er with three other parties had
been beating their way on
freight train No. IA, east bound.
They were discovered in a car
loaded with lumber at Bowman,
N. D., by Conductor Streibel,
who demanded that they get off
the train. 1t seems that Smith
and the three other fellows were
about to comply when Winnegar
pulled a 38 Colts revolver on the
conductor and said, I'VE have
been riding in here for a long
time and l don't think we will
get out now.", and the conduc-
tor very sensibly concurred in
this opinion. However, he no.
titled the officers at Hettinger to
be on hand and arrest the
bandit, but the sheriff of Adams
county was not in Hettinger and
the deputy decided not to tackle
the job alone. So the train and
it's unwelcome passengers con-
tinued the journey to Lennon,
where Special Officer Schlong
was waiting with Deputy Axtell.
The car in which Smith and
Winnegar were riding was
stopped opposite the east end Of
the depot and Axtell and Schlong
at once opened the door and
prepared to enter. Being loaded
with lumber, flush to the door,
it was about 9 or 10 feet from
the platform to the top of the
lumber and a space varying
from 2 to 5 feet between the
lumber and car roof provided
the quarters in which the men
were located.
After the door had been OPEN
ed Schlong assisted Axtell to
the floor of the car where he
could find barely room to stand
by holding to the edge of the
car door and the lumber, then
Schlong was assisted to a posi-
tion beside Axtell. Axtell then
crawled to the top Of the lumber
and seated himself near the
west side of the open door, he
then assisted Schlong to a
similar position on top of the
lumber and on his left, at this |
point Schlong flashed a light in
the car and revealed the bandit,
Winnegar, sitting about six feet
from them on the south side Of |
the car about 2 feet from the
east side of the car door. AS
soon as the light was flashed on
him the officers observed that
he held a revolver pointed dir
ectly at them. Axtell COM
manded him to drop the gun and
almost simultaneous with the
command, Winnegar fired point
blank at the breast Of Officer
Axtell, firing from slight angle
the ball entered the lapel OF
Axtell's coat, plowed thru his
vest, cut off the top of a lead
pencil in his vest pocket and
passed out the side of his coat,
a second shot was also fired at |

Slos and Silage

!, Wherever cattle are kept,
there should the silo be. Any
dairyman or farmer who con.
siders the cost of feeding will be
!quick to recognize the economy
of silos and silage. do not see
a possibility of his failing if he
will surround himself with a few
dairy cows and erect a silo.
Ddring the long winter months,
the late springs and early falls
the silo will supply his stock
in green food and keep up a
steady flow of milk. When
drouth comes, causing his crops
to wither and dry, the silo will
furnish a place for curing them, -
and feed for his live stock is
thereby saved.
! A few advantages of a silo are
cited here to convince the
"wavering" man to quick action,
to begin to plan for the erection
of some kind Of silo during the
coming season and have it ready
for his corn crop this fall:
% More food can be stored
in a given space in the form of
silage than in the form of fodder
or hay.
(2) There is more food value
in crops cured as silage than
cured for fodder or hay, because
there is no chance for the feed
to become sun-dried, and because
of the succulency and palatability
of the feed.
(3) More stock can be kept in
a given area of land when silage
is the basis of the ration. Many
men of experience claim that a
silo will cut the cost of feeding
right in two.
(4) Silage supplements the
pasture. One acre of ground
producing six tons of silage will
feed one COW 40 pounds a day,
every day for ten months.
Surely this is more economical
than pasture.
% There is less waste in
feeding silage than in feeding
fodder. Corn stalks when con-
verted into silage are all eaten.
and thus the food value of the
entire crop is utilized.
Co. Silage is one of the cheap
est feeds known. 1t will cost
only from $1.5O to $3.50 per ton
to grow corn silage, house it and
put it into the silo.
What kind of a silo shall |
build?''. is the question every
man asks and must answer for
himself. There are some funda-
mental things to- bear in mind in
making decision. 1) Silos
must be air tight; (2) silos must
be strong and durable; (3) silos
should be permanent; (4) silos
should be easy to construct;
90 silos should be cheap as pos
sible, but consistent with good
construction.
To the man who is just begin
ming, VINO has very little capital.
and whose farm is in the dry
area, the pit silo should appeal
very strongly. This is a silo in
the ground, made by digging a
circular hole about fourteen to
sixteen feet in diameter and
twenty to twenty-four feet deep.
These have been constructed in
various parts of South Dakota
and Montana and wherever used
have given splendid satisfaction.
They have several advantages in
that they will not be destroyed.

Thin Blood Causes Backache.

Every muscle in the body needs a
supply of rich. red blood in proportion
to the work it does.
The muscles of the back are under
heavy strain and have but little rest.
When the blood is thin they lack
nourishment and rebel. The result is
a sensation of pain in those muscles.
The best medical authorities agree
that backache seldom or never means
kidney trouble. Real organic kidney
disease may have progressed to crlti-
cal point without developing pain IN
the back Doctors detect its presence
by the excretions of the kidneys them
selves.
Pains in the back should always lead
the sufferer to look to the condition OF
the blood. 1t will be found in most
cases that the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills to build UP the blood will
stop the erumbling of the ill-nour-
ished muscles of the back. How much
better it is to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for the blood than to give way to
unreasonable alarm about your kid
news. If you suspect your kidneys,
any doctor can make tests in ten min
utes that will set your fears at rest or
tell you the worst.
All druggists sell DIR. Williams Pink
Pills. A free book, Building Up the
Blood" will be sent on request by the

Chelsea Town

The warrant for the town meeting
of the town of Chelsea beside the ar
ticles for the election of officers, ap-
propriations and State road, contains
one somewhat uncommon in the gener-
al run of warrants and which may
solve a situation which troubles the
officials of many towns. Article 10
reads as follows:
ITO see if the voters will take some
action in regard to keeping bills back
on an appropriation. We have in some
instances Gills two or three years old.
No doubt the majority of the taxpay-
ers would like to know at the time or
settling up, how much has been ex-
pended of an appropriation. Ard we,
the municipal officers. would advise
the voters to instruct the officer or
officers in charge of an appropriation
thet he must bring all bills excepting
snow bills or something unforseen)
contracted before Feb. 20 of the ensu-
ing year or else be cancelled"
