WINTER DAIRYIH q.

In many sections most of the cows
freshen in the spring. The more OBJ
serving and careful dairymen, however,
having found that winter dairying has
many advantages, are breeding their
cows to drop the calves in the fall. The
following are some Of the advantages Of
winter dairying:
First, higher prices are obtained for
milk and cream. AS the usual season
for COWS to freshen is the spring, milk
has always been plentiful during the
early summer and scarce and higher
during the winter.
Second, milk and cream can be hand
led in cold weather with less danger Of
souring, so there is little loss on account
of milk returned from the creamery.
Third, the amount of labor on the
farm is better distributed throughout
the year. If the cows freshen in the
spring, they are in full flow of milk and
need the best care when work in the
fields is most pressing. On the other
hand, if the COWS calve in the fall and
are MIXED during the winter, the far
mer can give them close attention, has
more time to study the problem Of feed.
ing, and can give his men employment
all the year and in that way get better
help.
Fourth, the lactation period is length
ened and the amount of milk given dur
ing the year increased. Cows that
freshen in the spring milk heavily while
grass is good, but as the pastures dry up
the flow of milk falls off and with the
approach of winter the cows are nearly
dry. If they freshen in the fall, they
should at once be started on a good win
ter ration, and when they have been
MIXED six months it is time to turn
them to pasture and for time the flow
of milk will be nearly as great as that
from fresh cows Recent investigations
by experiment stations verify this OBJ,
l servation.
| Fifth, fall calves can be raised better
than those born in the spring. Young
calves should be fed on milk for severa
months, after which they must be wean
ed and fed on solid food. If they are
born in the spring, they will be tor
mented by flies all summer, they may
be neglected because Of the farm work
and when it is time to wean them theI
must be put on a dry winter ration
Fall calves come at time when th,

CAN,T AFEORD 1T.

The other day a merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his home
newspaper If the mans views were
not distorted, be would see that he
couldn't afford not TO advertise. Refus.
ing to advertise is his most expensive
extravaganza. That same merchant will
spend hours telling Of the unfair" COM
petition Of the mail order houses who
are his most aggressive and dangerous
competitors, yet the methods employed
by the mail order houses which succeed
are the very ones which the merchant
refuses to use. The mail order house
first of all is an Advertiser Advertising
is the life of its business Every maya
zine that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad of the mail
order house. Expensive catalogues are
printed showing the illustrations of the
actual articles. Occasionally sheets are
scattered broadcast over the country as
a special "come-on" for the bargain hun
ter. Instead Of doing these things in
smaller way through the columns of his
local paper, the merchant who can't
afford to advertise sits down and ''cuss-
es" his tough luck and wonders why he
can't get the business. He never thinks
he has better opportunity to reach the
people in his neighborhood than the
mail order house has. II doesn't cost
him as much as it does the outsider; he
can draw the people to his store and
show them the actual article be is ad-
vertising, and, when they Duy, they can
take their purchase home with them in
stead Of having to wait for several weeks
far It. Advertising is an investment.
1t should be charged to your selling cost
Figure what percentage you have to pay
to advertise, then base a fifty-two weeks
campaign on the computation. You
can't lose. You can't afford not to adj
vertise!

40th ANNIVERSARY
OF the Organization of the City of Custer
Organized August Tenth, Eigh-
teen Ssventy-fve.

During the week past Custer passed
her fortieth birthday. 1t was on August
10th, 1875, that mass meeting of nearly
all the miners in the Black Hills who
had gathered in compliance with an or
der of General Crook organized town
site company. The meeting was held
on the present townsite near the con
huence of Laughing Water and French
Creek, close to where Jack Chilson's
residence now stands. At this mass
meeting board of trustees was elected
of which DR.. Flick was made chairman,
and Tom Hooper elected clerk. On this
day site one mile square was surveyed,
laid out and plated, and by unanimous
choice, christened Custer in honor of
Gen. Custer, who led the first military
expedition to penetrate the Black Hills.
On August llth the townsite was divid.
ed into lots, numbering from l to 1900
and those present, numbering about 200
miners, drew for possession of the yari-
Gus lots.
The survey of the site was made with
a small pocket compass, the lines laid
by means of picket ropes and the plat
drawn on piece Of birch bark twelve
inches square, which was stripped from
tree growing on the borders Of French
Creek The plat was drawn by Tom
Hooper Unfortunately it has since
been lost.
1t was reliably reported that as early
as July, 1875, a townsite company was
organized at tho present site Of Custer.
The township company proposed to call
the town Stonewall, in honor of General
Stonewall Jackson, but the organizers of
the company came of the opinion that
they could not individually hold the site
against the Indians, therefore they in
vited all the miners within the Hills to
participate in the organization and loca-
ton of this town. II Was therefore on
August 10th, 1875, that the first perman-
ent organization was established.
The miners who were present and
participated in this organization were
however not allowed to remain within
the Hills for the reason that the terri
tory was as yet Indian land. Soon after
they were ordered to leave the Hills by
United States soldiers, who suggested
that they leave in very strong parties,
since the Indians surrounding the Hills
were becoming very much enraged over
the fact that the white men were intrud-
ing upon their territory.
1t was but short time however until
q treaty with the Indians permitting the
occupancy Of the Black Hills by the
whites. was made Early in 1876 a
large number OF prospectors and miners
returned In March, 1875, on the town
site of Custer, another mass meeting Of
the people in the Hills was held at which
all necessary city officers were chosen.
Thus Custer has been city for forty
years, during which time she has seen
many ups and downs. Who will pre-
dict her history for the next forty
wears?
