upon alfalfa, which 1 hope will prove OF
interest. To supplement the alfalfa
crop which you can certainly grow
upon your land, if you will study the

extent. These two crops combined,
with very little corn, will place your
hogs upon the market in the very best

draft, and in 80 doing increase the
furrow which takes perhaps one-ffth
of the strength of the team exerted.

after Manage Business.

The following from the Dies Moines
Leader tells of changes in big firm
that moved to Des Moines from OF
tumwa, and in which many Ottumwa
people are interested:
"A deal was consummated yesterday
bv which the management of the Dies

change hands after September /, w.
9. Jordan retiring and the manage
mept devolving upon NJ. +. Sherman

been with the company since it succeed

dent of the company and its largest in
dividual stakeholder, and who retired
from the presidency, first in favor Of

Spencer, that he might give his entire
time TO the details of the business in
managerial capacity, has sold his
present president of the company and
head OF the Spencer Grocery company
of Oskaloosa. The deal has been on
for week and was only finally con-
summated yesterday. 1t makes MIR.
Spencer the largest stakeholder in the
company and with the stock held by
his son-in-law, NJ. L. Sherman,
places him in control of the business.
The exact proportion of Mr.. Jordan
holdings was not made known, the par
ties to the deal prefering not to give
out this information or TO discuss the
consideration. All they would say was
that the transfer had been made. that
the deal was satisfactory to all con
5cerned and was made on an amicable
basis and with the understanding that
Mr.. Jordan should remain in charge
until September as manager.
1T is not probable that the change in
ownership of the stock will result in
any new departures in the manner OF
carrying on the business further than
that more capital will be employed, a
larger stock carried and preparations
made to extend the business into the
new territory that will be brought di.

church. the walls and ceilings, will be
frescoed. The woodwork will be re-
