non Herald, referring to a Washington
dispatch stating 1000, 900 acres Of dry
farming land in Harding. Perkins and
Corson counties Is to be opened for set

The dispatch gives the impression
that there are now in the above men
toned counties 1000, 900 acres Of land

about 100000 acres hat are vacant.
The cause Of this error is the designa =
ton OF the land In this country is avail
able for additional entry. The 1000. 900
acres includes all the land that has
been subject to homestead entry in this
district and a good share Of this land
Is already proved up and nearly all of
IL has been flied on. A rush at the land
office has already commenced, and IL

through a buffalo's body. Remarkable
as. this archery was. 1t did not equal
that reached by the archers of ancient
times. II is OF record that the Mac
Raes OF Gairlock, Scotland. were such
skilled archers that they could hit q
man at the distance OF 500 yards. In

PROFESSIONAL STOCK SNOWMAN
BARRED FROM STATE EXHIBITS

Brookings, 8. D., July 31.-"Begin

Of condition for exhibition at the state
fair" say j. w. Wilson, professor OF
animal ~husbandry at the South Da-,
kota state college. But do not get
your stock so fat that 1t will destroy
their breeding qualities" Concerning
this subject, Professor Wilson offers
the following valuable suggestions:
The exhibits OF live stock at the
several years have included some OF
the choicest representatives OF the
popular breeds found in the United
States. For numbers and quality, / do
not believe they have been excelled
anywhere in the country. These ani-
mails were owned, to a large extent,
not by practical farmers or breeders,
but by men OF wealth who begin about
one year ahead of the shows to make
selections. They employ Scotch or Eng
lish boys who were raised with the
animals and these boys put the stock
shows. These herds begin their show
circuit usually at Des Moines. Ia, In
August and WING up at the interna-
tional in the fall. / am told that this
show, as a business enterprise, pays

ment for his herd or flock gratis.
This year we will have a different
show at Huron. These professional
showmen will not be permitted to show

the show will be confined to stock
owned In South Dakota. 1t will be a
real breeders show. We expect to find
the exhibits presented In the pink OF

whether they would ever reproduce
