The artesion outfit on the Lennon
farm struck a fine flow Wednesday.
The well is a II inch and throws a
large stream of water. The well is
about 1880 feet deep but it is thought

The season for local thunder showers
is at hand. Protect your property by
lightning rods. The results of one
storm will cost many times the amount
it will cost to rod all your buildings, to
say nothing of the satisfaction one feels
in being secure. Russell 81 Russell have
had years of experience putting up rods
and put them up right and reasonable.
Better be safe than sorry! Order at
once. f. H. & Van Cleve Russell.
Frank Jones was up from Waubay
Saturday and in conversation said, that
institute movement you are agitating in
the Reporter and Farmer is one of the
best things for farmers that can happen,
and as a farmer / am heartily in SYM
pathy with the movement. The time
has arrived when o farmer in Day
county must be progressive and take
hold of and use new practical methods
to be successful, the old idea of one
branch of farming, wheat raising exciu-
sively, is about played out, to be sue
cessful we must dersify, raise corn, feed
stuff, stock and do some dairying. The
best way to get at the most immediate
and successful methods of making this
change is by cooperation, getting
together discussing our experiences and
each profiting by the others success and
failures, and the only way to do this is
by getting together at regular stated
meetings and do our W teaching. A
regular monthly farmers institute will
be one of the best and most profitable
organizations for the farming community
and stock men that could be conceived
or and should, and / think will, meet
with the approval and hearty cooper
alton of every thorough up-to-date
farmer in the county. By all mean
let us keep the institute going.
