I Second Annual Report of the Fowl and Dairy Comalssleiiers of $• D.

This report by Commissioner C. P. I Sherwood, of 124 pages contains a vast amount of.intresting and timely information. The report contains *hn-

[alyses of samples of 140 different brands of food articles, being mostly

I catsups, vinegar, preserves, syrupsand lard. The articles are anal ized by Prof. Jas. II. Shepard of the Agucultural college, and the brand and manufac-| turer's name are given in each case.

A list of creameries by counties is I given with names of officers, date of organization and equipment. Also detailed monthly reports from the creameries giving the number of pa­trons and amounts paid out each month. Also the number of pounds of milk and butter fat with average test each month. A list appears of 194 licensed buttermakers, giving name and location. We are informed by this report that there are 153 li­censed creameries and ten licensed chese factories in the state; It ap­pears^ that there are over 8,000 patrons of creameries in the state and that the amount paid out to them during

I the year exceeds $2,000,000. Copies of this report can likely be

I obtained by writing to the commis­sioner, C. P. Sherwood, DeSmet, South Dakota, rsvf? - '

FREDERICK ITEMS,

To'do justice to this number, which for beauty and utility touches the highest mark, it would be necessary to print the entire list of contents. ItissuiBcienttostate that in it the best modern writers aud artists are generously represented. The book con­tains over 230 pages, with 34 illustrat­ions, of which. 20 are in two or more colors. The magnitude of this Decem­ber number, for which 728 tons of pa-

.per and six tons of ink have been used, valentine Bros, are getting along I may be understood from the fact that

THE 0IDEST BAPTIST CHVBCfl.

TfeeOKatVcoUlIlM bOMcst ExIstM Or^uilzatlM li the Stat*.

T. M. Shanafelt D. D. of Huron in his annual report of the Condition of the Baptist missions in South Dakota gives an interesting bit of history con­cerning the early missions. He says The fiist Baptist church organized in Dakota Territory was at Yankton in May 1864. Indian hostilities scattered the few people in the two or three lit­tle settlements along the Missouri riv­er, and the first orgasis ation passed out of existence. A later organization was effected at Yankton, February 3. 1867. The church at Vermillion was organized, a year later, February 19, 1868. The chnrch at Yankton having become extinct, the one atVerfaillion is the oldest of existing organizations, and may properly be regarded as "the mother of us all."

Scotland. He has about 2000 sheep on his place now.

The writer was fortunate in having an opportunity to make inquiry of Mr. Mitchell as to some interesting experiments he is conducting. He planted a quarter section to corn from which he raised a fair crop for this year of the Squaw variety. He sowed the ground between the rows to rape, just ahead of the cultivators as they went through the corn for the last time. With Mr. Mitchell, the rape has come to stay, being re-gardea by him as an indispensible supplement to the native grass pas­tures. Upon eighty acres of this rape and corn land, 1200 lambs have been fattening since the early fall and the feed thereon not yet exhausted. In a week or so he will turn the sheep onto the other eighty, letting them do the corn picking.

Mr. Mitchell is an extensive.tree planter and looks forward to the time when his flocks can have the benefit of the shelter of ample groves. He has planted several thousand of the rapid growingvarieties, such as cotton-wood and willow. In the evergreen line, he is trying the Scotch fir and the Arbor Vite. He has only been on his place five years and his tree planting has been done quite recently.

But Mr. Mitchell's most important experiment is with alfalfa Last spring be ordered 40 pounds of seed of the Turkestan variety and sowed it on two acres of ground. Although he did not sow It until July 3rd, the catch was remarkably good, being as thick and even as could be desired. It made a growth above groufld of about eighteen inches, and a root growth extending very close to three feet downward. He has. drawn manure from the stables and given it a gooc top dressing. He expects to make much more extended experiment in alfalfa another year, i';1 • 4j

The future may have"in?itore great posBsihUlties for this sandy land of North-east Brown county. This land appears to possess alt the requisites of the ldeal adfalfa land. The surface

I soil, though sandy, is deep aud rich, ' while the subsoil is either sandy or soft moist clay offering no obstruction to ,the downward passages of the water seeking roots, Throughout this whole region the never-failing Sweet­water lies at varying depths from eight to twenty-feet from thesurface. There is no crop so profitable as al­falfa, and if this can once become al­falfa meadows, fifty dollars per acre would be no extravagant valuation to | put on it. It is good tree land; now S

let ib be proven to be good clover land | and quarter sections offered five years ago for $200 will top the market,

. MACARONI FLOUR. gvT*

Its Test Proved Very Satisfactory ^ in Every Way. fip|||k

The tests made by the many house-wives who received ten pound pack­ages of macaroni flour from Isaac Lin-^|S c o i n g o t o e s t a b l i s h t h e f a c t t h a t t h i s 3 wheat will answer many other pur-.^fcl-Si poses than that of making macaroni. There was only one point scored against bread made from this flour in comparison with bread made of-best patent and that was as to color. In­stead of white it has a slightly creamy •. . color, a fanciful objection at best, In two respects it is said to have the advantage in the comparison. It is said to "retain its freshness much longer and also to rise about an hour sooner.

An idea seems to be quite generally" entertained that their is a difficulty in grinding it, but Mr. Lincoln says that it can be ground just as other wheat is, no different process or ma­chinery required. The general adop­tion of this grain may yet result very advantageously to the wheat growers^; of the Dakotas.
