about our ice.

GGentlemen:
Replying to your inquiry of May 5th we
are pleased to advise that we have one of the
ice plants sold to us by the DeI,oach Quick
Ice Machine Company, same having now
been in operation for several months, and
we find everything very satisfactory.
We are manufacturing ice at about 15c
per 100 pounds and the plant is giving per-
feet satisfaction. We believe that the cost
of manufacturing would be reduced some
If the plant was run to its full capacity.
Judging from the increasing demand and
the number of new customers that we are
adding to our list each day, and informa-
tion obtained from our patrons, we can say
that the ice that we are manufacturing is
very favorable to our customers.
If there is any further information that
we can give you concerning this plant and
its efficiency we will be pleased to hear
from you further.
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen:
In regard to the small Ice Plant that YOU
Sold us and erected four weeks ago we wish
10 state that we are still making ice in
eight to nine hours, and that everything is
working nicely. With this hot spell on for
October we have had a chance TO test out our
machine, while you only sold it to us for a
four ton plant we must admit that we are
pulling five to five and half tons ice daily;
same is frozen good and hard.
Several farmers in this community have
arranged with us to furnish them with ice
tins fall and winter to cure their meat And
1T would seem that the time is not far dis
tant when each community will have chcap
cold storage, enabling farmers to have fresh
meat at all times regardless Of weather con-
dltlonS. We have on two occasions run the
temperature down to zero and close down
Tor the night, next morning starting up
again the temperature would be around
eight to ten degrees, we then commence
pulling our ice and rciillng the cans. Same
are frozen and ready to pull in eight to nine
hours. We cannot say exactly what our
cost is per ton, but am satisfied that it will
not exceed $500 per ton. We are satisfied
that your method of freezing, cutting the
time about thirty to forty hours puts YOU
IN a class where there are no competitors
with all good wishes for the success Of the
enterprise, we are,

100000 More Pounds
Butterfat From Same Cows

Brookings, S. d., April 12.-"By the
practice of good feeding and wise sell
ection it is possible to increase the
average production of each COW as
much as fifty per cent said Horace
Jones, dairy production expert at
the recent meeting of the South Da-
kota Dairy association.
Thinking in terms OF value TO the
state" he continued, this means an
annual increase Of about thirty mil
lion pounds of butteriat per year from
the same number of cows that we have
at present. The dairy farmer who
uses a guesswork system of feeding
and selecting his cows is in no better
circumstances than a ship without a
compass. The facts which enable one
to feed and breed intelligently can be
gsined only by the keeping of reliable
records Of feed and of production."

Upper Floor Post Office
To Become Hospital

Doctors McWhorter and Wheelock
are ~remodeling their Office in the Com
mercial Club building, by p~artitioning
CT a portion of the Don for separate
offices. The two doctors have formed
a partnership, and except for the eye
and ex-ray work. which will be carried
on by DR.. McWhorter, they will carry
on their practice together.
The upper floor of the p~ostofice has
been rented by the doctors, and as
O as possession can be obtained,
they will start a private hospital. The
hospital will consist of six rooms. n
of which will be fitted up as an operat-
ing room. Two rooms will be given
over to the regular hospital nurse,
leaving three rooms for the use of
patients.
This hospital will prove a valuable
asset to the county, and may lay the
foundation for a county hospital to be
built here in the near. future.

Production Cost Records
Popular in South Dakota

Brookings. s D., April 12.-Pro-
gressive farmers in various sections
Of the state will keep accurate re-
cords of their production costs this
season, the extension division of State
college cooperating. The records will
be supervised by M. II. Benedict, ex-
tension specialist, and these farmers
will secure valuable data thru the use
CT which they will determine which
farm enterprises to increase and which
to cut down or eliminate. Nearly al
ways, some departments Of the farm
business yield considerably better pro-
fits than others. These differences
show up clearly when costs are fig
ured. South Dakota farmers, with
their large present-day capitalization,
ere showing much more interest in
these matts:s than they formerly did.

WORK STARTED ON
STORE BUILDING
Expect 10 Complete Building In 80
Days-AnOther Deal Pending

Miller's Main street will o o have
a more attractive appearance by the
erection of two business blocks. The
Miller Mercantile Building CO.,
is building a fifty foot front store
building on the Sutphen lots and ]. r.
Hewitt contemplates a twenty-five foot
front bakery on the s. v. Christ lot
to the north.
Work was started Tuesday on the
excavation of a basement on the SUIT
phen lots, where the ]. w. Johnson
Department Store was located before
II was destroyed by fire a year ago
last February.
The building to be erected will be a
enc story brick structure 50x100 feet,
with a 14-foot ceiling, and will have a
full basement s IT. deep. The cost of
the building will be approximately
SEE, 900, and will be occupied by the J.
w. Johnson Department Store.
There has been some talk of adding
another story to provide more Office
room in the city, but at this time
nothing definite has been done by the
stock company which is financing the
proposition.
The contract for the construction Of
the building has been let to Van
Etten and Il Is expected to have il
ready for occupancy in ninety days.
The building contemplated by Mr..
Isewitt Is twenty-five by seventy-five
feet, one story high with a sixty foot
basement. It will be built expressly
for a bakery and will house one of the
most up-to-date bakeries in the state.

SO. OAK. LAND
BRINGS $1,000 ACRE
Farm Near CentervilIe Sets a Record
For the State

The record price of 81, 900 an acre
was paid recently for a farm near
Centerville, S. ID. 1t was bought by
g farmer who owned IT, 'joining pro-
perty and was well tinted with
its value.
Reports # sales from over the state
show that land values are continually
rising and that in the course Of a
few years that cheap quarter" will
he OFF the market.
The Centerville Journal makes the
following comment on the $1,000 land
sale:
Land is still souring in South OAK
ota, and again Centerville has the
distinction of having the highest
priced land in the state. When it
became known Saturday that Mr.. e.
e. Holmquist had sold his farm only
halt a mile from the city for $1,000. 90
an acre, few could believe ii. Lasl
year when Mr.. Holmquist paid $500
On acre for this land some OF our
people thought he was a little batty,
perhaps, but Ed. knew the desirable
ness of the place and the land, as
well as the city near which it is To-
Gated, and had no fear for the con
sequences When he recently purchas
cd the Broadway Theatre and dance
PAVILION, a neighbor. Mr.. Rufus Munsil
who owned IL acres in the city limits.
an 20 acres of land between the city
and the Holmquist farm, began MAX
ing inquiries of Ed. as to whether he
would sell the farm. The latter had
no intention of selling but finally plac~
Cd a price of 10000 0 an acre on his
property, and found he had sold it.
Mr., Munsil retired from the farm
ever in Lincoln county a year or so
ago, but found his 33 acres would
hardly keep him as busy as he wanted
to be kept, hence his desire to own
this adjaoining land. It's a good buy.
too, and Mr.. Munsil is not going to
lose a cent on it. Land so close to
a good live town like Centerville is
worth more than in any other part
of the state. And you don't want To
FORGET that this is the record price
~ - 80 49, HALM
for land in South Dakota. We jus.
can't help patting ourself on the back,
for it's some distinction to live in this
Centerville community, where we have
the highest priced land. and farmers
who top the market every e or SO
with their cattle, ETC., etc.

BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS MAY IS
Roy Patterson, Former Minneapolis
Pitcher May Lead Miller
Team

The Miller baseball orgs nization was
somewhat disappointed last week when
word was received hat the man who
had signed up as manager for the
season could not go through with the
deal.
Sec'y F e. Weir is in communica-
ton with four or five other players
and 1t is expected that a manager will
be signed this week. The one most
favored at the present time is Roy
Patterson of st. Croix Falls, Wis, who
was a leading pitcher with Chicago
and Minneapolis for a number of
years. Another applicant for manager
o former Omaha, st. Louis and Louis
vile player, is being considered.
Several players have already been
signed and the club has leased grounds
for a ball park. At a recent meeting
a change was made in the financing
of the team. 1t was decided to in
corporate and issue stock instead Of
subscriptions.
The schedule of the season has not
been announced yet, but playing will
start about the 18th Of May.
A letter recently received from Mike
Cantillion. president of the South Da-
kota League, says that the league has
been admitted to organized baseball
and from now on will be under the
control of the nationaI commission.
With the South Dakota league in
organized baseball, baseball in this
state will now be somewhat different
than it has been in the past, from
now on everything connected with
b baseball will be run with a system,
there being no more slipping in at the
gate as the home club car furnish a
certain amount of passes an no more,
there will be no more setting on the
players benches during a game, as nm
one will be allowed inside of the play
certain amount of passes and no more,
there will be no more sitting on the
players benches during a game, as no
the umpire has authority to reject
players from the field and fine them, in
fact he will have complete charge OF
the game and anything he say goes.
