FROM SOUTR DAKOTA.

Britton, So. Dak., April 28. Mr. Editor: Am sending you my subscription to your paper, and also a little letter, as I have located here and we like this country fine. Enclosed you will find a postoffice order for $1.35, as I do not know what your paper is now a year. But send it to me as long as this will pay for. Wishing you success, I remain as ever Yours truly, RALPH SHUMAKER. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Shumaker. Thinking it might be interesting for our many friends in Rensselaer and vicinity to know what we think of South Dakota, we will try and write a short sketch of our new home. South Dakota is not the wild wilderness so many eastern people think it is, but is a beautiful prairie country, with large, well kept farms or ranches, as they are generally called here. It is no longer an experiment since the agricultural population first came into the state the entire portion east of the Missouri is settled, and a great portion west of the river.

The ranches are of course much larger than the eastern farms, and each farmer has all the way from 600 to 2000 acres of land under cultivation. Many of those who came to South Dakota as homesteaders were determined men of worth and merit and these men have made the state one of the greatest of the Unoln. In other words, years of occupation and experience have taught the South Dakotian how to avail himself of the natural conditions, and he has adapted his methods to the best end. And in this age where material results are the measure of all values, South Dakota passes the extreme test for she yields to her people more per capita wealth than any other. Some interesting facts we have learned of the State are that it has two of the largest apple orchards on the continent and also has more than three thousand artesian wells, and many of the farm homes are modern, with bath, electric lights, etc, operated by water power, afforded by artesian wells. Rural telephones are in most all homes, and rural free delivery brings the mail every day to the door. South Dakota has the most extensive natural gas belt on the continent. This gas is used for heat, light and all kinds of power. The gas wells also furnishes large flows of warm, soft water.

The live stock industry vastly exceeds any other in importance, and we find fine cattle that have grazed on these western plains all winter without hay, grain or shelter. Of courst wheat growing is a prominent industry and is pushed with great profit at the present writing. The farmers have nearly completed their wheat sowing and the fields are already green with the new crop. One thing, speaking well for this locality, is that during the recent money panic the banks not once refused payment on checks, showing the prosperous condition of the country in this vicinity. There are several families here from Rensselaer. Mr. r. A. Besse's are prospering here I am afraid this has developed into more of a lecture than a letter, so will close with best wishes.

Kidney complaint kills more people than any other* disease. This is due to the disease being so insidious that it gets a good hold on the system before it is recognized. Foley’s Kidney Cure will prevent the development of fatal disease if taken in time. A. F. LONG. Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup is best for women and children.

COLD STORAGE EXPERIMENT.

In company with a number of north lowa horticulturists the writer recently went to Mason City to witness the final inspection of some twenty-five different varieties of fall and winter apples which have been carried through ths winter in a joint cold storage experiment which has been conducted by the United States department of agriculture in co-operation with the horticultural department of the State Agricultural college at Ames. The apples th question bad been kept in refrigeration at a temperature of about 32 degrees F. since the time of their storage last September and October, some of the fruit being put in storage immediately upon picking, some a week after picklug and the remainder three weeks after it had been taken from the trees. The results of the experiment were summarized briefly by Mr. L. 8. Tenney, specialist in charge of the pomologlcal experiments carried on in connection with the government’s horticultural extension work. Among the valuable points noted in the results of the experiment were the following:

First, it was noticeable that that fruit kept best which was put into storage as soon As possible after picking and which was likewise handled with most care from the tree to the package in which it was stored. Again, It was observed to be true with all varieties, and especially with the tender Wealthy and Jonathan, that those apples were in the best condition of preservation at the end of the experiment which were not picked until they were fully ripe. Underripe fruit of these varieties showed much shriveling during the period of storage. Where apples were wrapped-separate-ly in pieces of paper they kept much better than when put together loose in the box. Wealthies, which are but a fall variety, came through in splendid shape whcn handled in this manner and'were in excellent market condition. ThO-Colorado Orange, Delavan and Northwestern Greening showed up in fine shape. The Malinda scalded badly during the period of storage and was not in a marketable condition. In emphasizing the necessity of a more careful handling of fruit Intended for shipping or storage Mr. Tenney, who had just come from a six weeks’ tour of inspection through the orange districts of California, stated that experiments which had just been concluded by the government seemed to show that virtually all of the loss which has been sustained for years past as a result of the spoiling of lemons and oranges in transit, amounting in some seasons to $3,000,000, has been due to a bruising of the fruit as a result of careless handling, and he stated that what was said with reference to the citrus fruits was equally true of apples. ABOUT IMPORTED CORN. Among the many valuable facts which have been learned as a result of corn growing experiments which have been conducted by experiment stations in various parts of the country one of great importance is that imported seed, no matter of how good a variety or how favorable the conditions under which it has been matured, will not produce so large or so well matured a crop as seed from ears which have grown in the immediate locality. Different conditions of soil and ty some extent of climate seem to place the imported seed at a disadvantage, a handicap which it does not overcome short of several years of acclimatization. During these years it seems to get adjusted to its environment and is in shape to produce the maximum crop of which it is capable. For the reasons above cited it is always advisable for the farmer to se cure his seed just as near home as possible, from his own field or from that of a near neighbor. The disadvantage one is under in sending to a distant bouse for his seed, in addition to that mentioned above, is that the seed is likely to be of a larger variety of corn than will mature well in the locality, in which case an early frost would mean the ruin of the whole crop.

MAKE ’EM SCRATCH.

A method that Is followed by many in the feeding of incubator chicks during tbe first few weeks is to scatter a layer of short cut straw In their feeding place, next several handfuls of prepared dry chick food, then a layer of straw, then more chick food. |nd so on until there is a pile of seven or eight Inches deep. As soon as the little fellows get to stirring around they are given access to this food supply and, following out an Inborn instinct, at once begin to scratch. The grain forms a .complete ration, while the exercise they get In digging it out makes them strong and vigorous. The only feeding care required beyond this Is the supplying of water and skimmilk If the latter is available.

CASH IN KINDNESS.

There Is many a dairyman who understands the science of feeding his cows, has his stables well lighted and ventilated and handles his milk and pream products in tbe most sanitary manner possible who nevertheless does not seem to realize the financial loss be suffers every month In the conduct of the dairy through the impatience, roughness and oftentimes brutality of tbe hired man who milks and has the care of his cows. To do their best cows must be gently and kindly treated. and this Is not only justifiable from tbe humanitarian or ethical point of view, but especially so from the standpoint of dollars and cents.
