FAMILY GETS GOOD RETURN FROM IIEflS Af.D COWS Or! FARM Arpu-LMder News Bureau at icrrs Pierre, Jan. 11. While the cow and the hen are being extolled as one of the paths of financial salvation to the South Dakota farmer, very few can tell Just what these- two features of farm life mean to them from the financial end. Mr. and Mrs.

E. L. Gilland, of Mellette county, announce their record for last year on these by-products of farm life, outside of any return from ordinary farm operations. Their books show that for 1921 their flock of lions brought them a cash return or 1138.82, besides all the eggs and chickens which were wanted by the family to help reduce the cost of living. In addition, six cows brought a return of $183.36 for cream, besides all the milk and cream and butter wanted for the family use, along with the skim milk, which was fed to pigs.

A little over $300 cash from these sources may not appear to be large, but the amount of such products used by the family could not likely have been purchased for as much more, and this, added to the rent of the farm Income, helps to make the farm more self-supporting and gives the farmer and his family a better living.

(By The Associated Press) Twenty-eight thousand, three hundred and thirty-six persons visited Wind Cave national park during the three-month tourist season of 1921. ac cording to the annual report of the secretary of the interior. Wind cave is the only park maintained by the federal government in South Dakota. It is 'located 16 miles north of Hot Springs, has an area of 17 square miles, and contains a cavern having many miles of galleries and numerous chambers containing many peculiar for mations.

It was made a national park January 9, 1903. Summarizing the last season at all national parks Secretary Albert B. Fall says that train travel amounted only about 40 per cent of the total number of visitors, the balance coming in their own motor cars.

It may be predicted with assurance, therefore, that as soon as railroad transportation charges are lowered even this year's large travel figures to the parks will be considerably enlarged."
