Whales Off Virginia Coast.

A big school of whales off the Vir-
ginia capes was an unusual sight en-
joyed by the passengers and crew of
the Merchants and Miners liner Merri-
mack. which arrived at Baltimore yes
terday from Savannah. When the Mer-
rimack passed the whales they were
playing, diving and spouting streams
of water high into the air in a most
amusing manner. There were six OF
eight of them in the school. 1t is said
that the sight of whales off the Fir-
ginia coast at this season of the year is
out of the ordinary, though in summer
they are frequently seen by passing
ships.

BIG INCREASE Of
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In.
crease of Over 20 Millions,

Figures Just compiled by the public
ity branch of the provincial depart
ment show that last year. notwith-
standing that quite a third of the PROV
ince was affected by the drought to
a very serious extent, the total value
Of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease Of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year. AL.
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced a period of great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gem
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop.
without taking into consideration the
value Of the butter, milk, cheese. poul-
try, vegetables, and other ~by-products
Of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1.l4T,3S2 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 3O.15 to
the acre. Sold at an average of soc
per oushel, these yielded a revenue Of
$l7,l9S,55S. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing a little short Of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,0 83 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age of $1.35 per bushel, the value Of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$2O,387 ,S12. The total production Of
barley was 7,S47,64O bushels, which, at
Csc per bushel, yielded a revenue Of
S4,31G,202.
Otner productions were as follows:
Flax, 207.115 bushels, $310,672. 90; rye,
1884 bushels, $196. 1872. 90; speltz, A.
TOT bushels, $50, O30.00; hay, 20O.O 600
tons, $4,000, 600; potatoes, -four million
bushels, $4,000, 900; turnips, three mill
lion bushels, $3.50 900; carrots, 800, 900
bushels, $1S0,000; mangolds, $4,000
bushels, $4,000 animals slaughtered
and sold, 500, 000, 600; butter and
cheese, $1,500,000; milk, $4,000, 600;
wool clip, 1900, 600 pounds, 500, 600;
fish, 1885, 600; game and furs, $780,
600; horticultural products, %$150,000;
poultry and products, $2,650,000.
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $7S,516,S91, as com
pared with SIS, 09S, 0S4 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value Of the live stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,-
$50, this being an increase of $7,762,-
S45 over the previous ear. There
were 609 ,125 horses, 750,7S9 swine,
5O1, 1SS sheep, 1872 sos dairy cows, 1885,
OBS other COWS, 190,923 beef cattle and

Girls Camps.


The American girl. while she does
not aspire to large muscles, or the
athletic records of boys, is coming for
ward in these days to demand as her
right physical training that will send
her out into life with an endowment
of health sufficient to meet its de.
mands.
DR.. d. A. Sargent, director OK the
Harvard gymnasium. tell us that
some twenty or thirty years ago he
had occasion to make a physical ex,
animation of professional athletes
Nearly every II of these men" he
says, who had become especially dis
tinguished, attributed his ability to his
mothers fine physique" Without com,
ment upon this unanswerable argu
ment for the health education of WON,
en-, he adds another: Although women
constitute one-half Of the human race
and are largely responsible for its up,
building, they have a right to a health
education for their own sakes."
The camp has opened the way for
others to follow.-Outing.

Warrior Victim of Mistake.

Rapid City.-Because of the coinci-
dence in his taking the same train for
Rapid City upon which an Indian wom-
an named Mrs. Bareback travelled,
Clement Whirlwind Soldier. a Sioux
warrior belonging on the Rosebud res
ervation, was arrested as ne stepped
from the train here on a complaint
from the reservation that he was elop-
ing from the reservation with the In
dian woman. 1t developed that the
Indian woman was accompanied by her
little girl and was provided with a
ticket for Rushville, Neb., while Whirl-
wind Soldier had a ticket to Deadwood.
Thus their arrival in Rapid City on
the same train was a coincidence. and
the authorities, after securing the facts
set forth, had no other u than
to release the Sioux warrior.

Swaney was jealous of his wife, and

BORE RUSHED TO HIS FATE
Doctor Johnson's Scathing Rejoinder
to Social Pest Who Asked Him
lmpertinent Questions.

Dean Swift long ago analysed some
or the ways in which people tire each
other In conversation, says the Boston
Herald. The man who talks constant
" and exclusively about his business.
his ailings, his family, his books, his
misfortunes, who always wants to pre-
scribe for his acquaintances or advise
them soon condemns himself to soli-
tude even in the midst of numbers.
Labeled onee with the pregnant mono
syllable, his way clears before him as
by magic, for others cultivate the
little strategies which keep them out
Of range.
Yet any man may become a bore at
times. A good deal depends upon
moods and circumstances. Poetic jus
tice indeed would require that hores
be extinguished by enforced associa.
ton with their own kind. The most
severe social punishment inflicted
upon one of the species by a great
man who had not acquired the fatal
facility which tolerates fools, was ad.
ministered by Doctor Johnson. Said
the bore:
MY dear doctor, what would you
give to be as young and sprightly as
/ am?"
Thundered the photographer in re-
ply:
Why, sir, l would almost be con.
tent to be as foolish"

Recover Eiaht Missing Horses.

Philip.-Sheriff Root has returned
here from a prolonged chase after I'M
known persons who a few days ago
stole IL head Of valuable horses from
the Christensen ranch in Meade coun-
ty. Eight of the missing horses were
recovered. Sheriff Root was accom-
panied by Sheriff Shut, of Meade
county, and one or two deputies. The
pursuit of the officers extended into
Trip and Gregory counties and it was
in those counties that eight of the IL
stolen horses were found. The thieves
had sold them to homesteaders in a
territory extending over about 100
miles. From descriptions given by the
homesteaders of the man who had sold
them the horses the authorities are
confident they will soon locate the
thief, whom they believe to be a for
mer resident OF the northwestern sec
ton Of Stanley county. The theft of
the II horses was the boldest crime
of the kind committed in western
South Dakota for some time. and indi-
Gates that horse "~rustlers" again are
becoming active in this part of the
state.

CREAM BRINGS WEALTH.
Midland Country in Haakcn County Is
Becoming Great Dairy Center.

Midland.--Tbe town of Midland, To-
Gated OF the p. r. & N. w. railroad
in Haakon county was at one time the
center Of the great stock range OF Stan
ley county; but the great rush of peo-
pie to this part of the state during the
years 1900, 1901 up to 1905, drove the
stockmen off the free range and this
section during the years 1906 up to
1909 became a fertile farming country.
Then came the drouth of 191o-11-12-13.
During these four years the people
placed mortgages on their homesteads
and left the country in vast number,
thus reducing the population from 25,-
900 to about 5000.
For the past year this country has
greatly improved. The ranchers
learned an easier and more profitable
manne in which to make a success of
this country. They have now gone in
70 the dairy business, which is the
most successful enterprise adapted
since the closing of the free range
here. In the month of June there
was shipped from this station 1902
cans of cream, averaging 50 per can,
or $11,71S. From Philip in this same
county there was shipped 1868 cans,
amounting iii the sum OF Sl1,347. There
are two other stations, Powell and
Nowlin, which are shipping much
cream. There was shipped to this sta.
ton during the months of March, April
and May, II cars of COWS. This, with
several cars of young stock for the
past two years means a large number
Of dairy cows here. The same is true
of Powell, Nowlin and Philip. so much
so. that this country has again put on
the appearance of prosperity.
At an auction sale at Pheba on June
29th the Midland State bank checked
the sale, which amounted in the sum
of $4,000. OF this sum So, ZOO was cash,
with the balance at six months time.
This is a good showing for this sea-
o of the year in this or any other
country. The p~rairies are covered with
grass, and there is more feed than
ever.

Determined 10 Med Indian.

Wagner.-Because an Indian boy did
not reciprocate her affection. and be-
cause her parents opposed her idea
of marrying an Indian. Miss Agnes
Chytka, the 1s-ycar-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Chytka, living on
a Charles Mix county farm, attempted
to commit suicide after making a des-
perate attempt to kill the Indian boy
with whom she was in love. She fol-
lowed the Indian boy into a field where
he was working in proximity to the
Chytka farm. and, when he again re-
jected her attentions, she drew a re-
volver and fired at him three times.
Fortunately none Of the bullets took
effect. Then in desperation she rushed
to her home. seized a bottle contain;
ing an ounce of carbolic acid and swal-
lowed the liquid. She suffered ter.
ribly. but by hard work on the part of
members Of the family and a physician
who was summoned. her life was
saved. 1t is understood that she now
regrets her action and realizes that a
Sioux Indian boy would not make the
proper kind of a husband for her.
