The Black Hills region is an ir-
regular dome shaped uplift, EN-.
oracing an oval area about one
hundred twenty five miles long
and sixty miles wide. The long
est dimension is in a nearly
northwest-southeast direction. The
major portion of the region is
in the state Of South Dakota
but some lies in Wyoming.
To scientists the Black Hills
presents wonderful opportunities
for interesting study and re
search. The geologist will find
here a nearly complete geologic

Cambrian rocks in the Cen

BLOAT IN CATTLE
ON ALFALFA OR
CLOVER PASTURE

10 guard against bloat when
turning cattle into alfalfa or
dover pasture, the following
precautions should be observed
during the first few days, says
DR.. G. G. Lipp of South Dakota
State college: Do not put cat
tie into such pasture if wet with
dew or rain, since this seems to
cause bloating more quickly
than dry pasture. 1t is not
good plan to turn cattle into al
'falfa or clover pasture in the
morning when they are hungry
and likely to eat too much. AL
low them to fill up at least par
ti'lly first on old hay or straw
or bluegrass pasture.
The Kentucky experiment sta
ton has found the following
treatment for bloat satisfactory
if given in time: Give as a drench
as soon as signs of bloat appear
three tablespoonfuls of formalin
IN . quart of water, followed by
moderate exercise.
In advanced cases of bloating
when there is danger of suffo-
cation, the foregoing treatment
does not act with sufficient pro-
mrtness. Then the trocar is the
only means Of immediate relief.
Thoroly wash and sterilize the
instrument by boiling if time
nermits. Plung it into the left
flank in the middle of the tri-
angular depression in front Of
the left hip bone. The point of
the trocar should be thrust in
ward, downward and slightly for
ward.
The prompt use Of either the
fcrmalin solution or the trocar
will be the means of saving
many animals during the remain
ing summer months.

good advantage.
Those people in South Da-
kota fortunate enough to own a
car should by all means spend a
week or two in the Hills
The roads are good. The Black
and Yellow Trail is we'll travel
ed and is being improved each
year. For the benefit of those
who may be contemplating
such a trip, but who are unac-
quainted with the Hills, a sum-
mary ofplaces of particular in
terest that might be visited
follows. It is, Of course, practi-
cal to visit nearly all the places
mentioned by railroad and stage
but travelling by auto is more
satisfactory. When travelling by
auto camping outfit may be
carried along, thus reducing ex-
penses and allowing stops to be
made whenever desired.
The first stop upon reaching
the Hills is Rapid City. Here
one will find the State School
of Mines, with it's interesting
laboratories and museum. Among
other things of interest in Rapid
are the U. S. Indian School and
the largest saw-mill in the Hills.
Going north from Rapid City
the next stop is Sturgis, unless
it is desired to visit Crystal Gave
near Piedmont. East of Sturgis
is Ft. Meade. Bear Butte is
easily seen for many miles.
At Belle Fourche the princi-
pal attraction is the huge dam

therefore, keep the wounds

gots cannot possibly heal. If

wounds may be coated with

like most other human institutions,
will be handicapped by certain linn
itations. There is no doubt that the
squad would be very efficient in
bringing down criminals caught in
the act on a big, open field or prairie.
can easily imagine a poor hold
up man or bank robber fleeing with
his loot on big prairie with Chief
Schuettler's squad of expert marks
men, armed with a speedy auto and
modern rifles, in hot pursuit He
would find himself in a bad fix and
would soon have to throw up his
hands in despair Unfortunately,
however, most criminals are in the
pernicious habit of choosing towns
and cities as their field of operation.
And in towns and cities there are
buildings, alleys, narrow passage
corners and crevices to run and
hide in. Of course, if a hold-up man
or bank robber, after having pulled
off a job, would run straight ahead
along the street or sidewalk, like a
citizen running to catch a train, said
criminal could certainly be laid low
in an instant, provided a member of
the squad happened to be present.
Or if a band of robbers would run in
a straight line, like wild geese are
flying, all of them could probably be
disposed of with one well-aimed bull
let from a modern rifle.
But such are not the ways of rob-
beers and criminals. They will insist |
most tenaciously on taking the most
roundabout and crooked ways mag
Unable. And a rife bullet is in the |
habit of travelling straight ahead, or
almost so. To make a city hold-up |
man harmless, a person must there
fore run after him, try to grab him |
with the hands, hit him with a club |
or shoot him with almost the same |
kind\of a gun that he himself uses.
An assembled automobile will not |
