The Kadoka Short Course and Farm-
ers’ Institute which was held last
in a three day short courne, was a big
one. The way in which he handled
the work shows that he is not a nov-
ice. He is especially strong in his
com and grain work, while his work
was very creditable in all departments.
He has served entirely without re-
compence in a financial way but the
hearty appreciation and expressions
of good willon every hand willmore
than repay him for his efforts. He
has started a work in this locality
which will in the future be a factor
which willdo much for the prosper-
ity and succeratul ht i aker of this
country.
A movement is air multi >av
to provide for a two wvVs short
course next winter and ovt 1 on-
hundred and fifty dollars has already
been pledged to secure help from
abroad and make a splendid work for
next winter.
Scotty Brown has the matter in
charge and expects to give every
farmer an opportunity to assist in
making the course next winter the
most successful ever held in the state.
The work as given by Mr. llaulman
was an eye opener .to a great many
and many facts were brought out of
which they never had given a thought.
For example two ears ot corn were
selected one with a large cob and
shallow kernels the other with deep
kernels and small cob. The two ears
weighed just alike. Then the corn
was shelled and the corn and cob
week was a success in every sense of
the word. The weather was very au-
spicious until Saturday when a bliz-
zard prevailed most of the day, but
did not keep all at home who were
taking the work and some twenty-
five were present and took the work
on that day.
As first planned it was expected
that only three days would be given
up to the work but the interest was
so great that the corn and grain work
was extended over an extra day at
the request of the class.
The success of the enterprise rests
wholly with Harry *E. Haulmau pres-
ident of the Commercial Club, who
had previously has experience in thin
work and who planned and carried
out the work practically unassisted.
When the work was first talked of
there were those who were rather
in tabard to Mr. Haulmap’s
ability in line but now that the
worn is done, these same persons are
as enthusiastic as they were skeptical.
The Press was from the very start
very much interested in this work
and for that reason has used many
columns of space in boosting the prop-
osition and is very much gratified to
know that there has been such a gen-
eral response on the part of our farm-
ers. The proposition which Mr. Haul-
mail undertook when he proposed to
assume charge and give instructions
This is only one of the numerons
instances which we.e brought out
during the work. Butter—Sweepstakes, Mrs. Jas. A

INTO NEW CAPITOL BY THE
FIRST OF MARCH.
Pierre, S. D., Jan. 26. —While it will 1
be midsummer before the last of the
workmen are out of the new capitol
of this state, many of the state ofii- 1
cials will be located in their new 1
I quarters before the final finishing is ,
' put upon interior work in some parts
:of the building. In fact, the officials
expect to begin moving into the build- '
iug by the first of March and the city '
which purchased the old building, his <
orders to get it off the grounds in ,
April, as it is expected everything
, willbe moved out by that time.
The work yet to bo done is the com- <
| pletion of the marble finishings, the
final closing up of the interior decora-
| tions, and a small amount of carpen- i
ter work. j,
MOST DECORATIVE WORK DONE. (
W. G. Andrews, the contractor of
¦the decorative work, says he has full
1 76 per cent done with that part of the |'
work, and can complete all but the *
mural work in a little more than thir- (
ty days. Mr. Andrews has just re-
turned from a trip east, in which he
found the mural work, which is be-
ing done by E. H. Blanshfield and 1
Edward Himmons, both of New York, 4
and Charles Holloway, of Chicago, is
well along and he thinks iie can have ,
all the paintings in place before the
first of June, but this work will not
not In the least delay the occupancy
of the building. The marble wort; is 4
well along, all the pillars having been «
placed. Most of the wainscoting is ,
in place and the placing the balusters
and stair treads is being pushed.
On account of the demand for room ‘
the commission has added a large ,
amount of space for storage in the
basement, by having the whole of the '
basement floor concreted, thus mak- 1
ing a large amount of storage room. ;
NOT EUNDS ENOUGH FOR GROUNDS. ,
The work on the grounds is also be- j
ing pushed, hut with the present ap- i |
propriatior at the command of the |
commission about all of which can be 1
! done in that way is in the grading
I and leveling. The commission has be-
| gun the preliminary steps toward se-
curing a mumber of lots along the
eastern end of the grounds by con-
demnation, to give the required space
for the lake to located on the east-
ern end of the grounds.
Contractor Olsen lias pushed work
from the start, and will be ready to
turn over u completed building to the
commission under the contract time,
regardless of the fact that numerous
changes,, which would extend his
I time, have been asked for in the pro-
-9 gress of the work. The people are to
I have a fine building, absolutely with- j
I out taxation for that purpose, funds i

lands.
