to show that horse raising pays. }

bunch to sell every year. He raise,
cattle, sheep, and hoges, also, but
probably there is clean money
in the horses. He estimates that i
costs no more to raise a horse thar

there considerably more clear none,

That man who cannot find a

and we are told by j, l., Van Hook

nominated by petition. j. l.. ought
to know about the latter as he is

Sup't Farmers Institutes.

RECENT press dispatches stated
that at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the G. ~ NV. at Chi
cago the proposition of increasing the
capital stock of the company to $780,
100000 would be voted upon. As the
present captilization is about $780,,
100000 the proposition would mean
a doubling of the capital stock. The
equipment of the G. q n. w. is al
ready the best west of Chicago. Last
year when most of the roads we're in
the midst of a car famine the G.. & n.
w. vas furnishing shippers as good
accommodations as V notwith-
standing the increased demand. This
situation would indicate that the
company does not need the increased
capital for the purpose of adding
equipment. The income has taken
care of that expenditure right along
and caused the stock to go to the
200 mark, The only explanation for
such a move would be to increase
capital stock to keep down interest
rates, or for purposes of large extern
sions of it's mileage, The latter is
probably the reason. In fact, a coast
line will be necessity now that Harri-
man controls the Union Pacific and
last week projected a deal whereby
he secured possession of a controlling
interest in the G. NJ. & st. p, which
is building to Seattle.

show and corn growers convention
for the state Of South Dakota. All
growers of corn are cordially invit d
to be present at this meeting and as
sist in the organization of an associa-
ton which | belive will do more
good to the state than any other
organization that could be worked at
this time. The details Of the orgaL-
ization and the corn show will be
worked out by those present.
The Commercial Club Of Mitchell
has agreed to put up, in cups and
cash, 5000 90 for three years, to be
competed for at the show to be held
by the assocat on. In addition TO
this We expect TO be able to procure
a large number of premiums in the
way of implements from manufactures
aud to present 4 premium list which
list is not excelled by any other state
in the Union.
There is no doubt but what South
Dakota is father behiHd her possibil
tiles in the production of corn than
along any other line and we hope by
the organization of this association
to create more interest in this line of
South Dakota farming.
The date selected for the meeting
is during the Corn Palace week.
when there will be very cheap ex'
cursion rates from all points, and
special trains from d large portion of

COIN FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Amount to be Paid This Year VIII Be
Over Double Tax Levy.-$2O,O31
For BaraBa County.

That the school funds will be large
and even more than double the
amount of taxes paid by the differ
ent counties is apparent from the
following figures. Assuming that
the semi annual apportionment of
school money 10 November will be
on the basis of SO for every child OF
school age on the school census OF
last year, and counting in the 81 per
capita apportioned in May last, the
whole sum distributed this year to
the counties will be $8,175, ,024. The
state tax levied on the counties is
SO, 383, 785. 80, which is less than one
half the amount OF school money
they are paid by the state.
A glance over the funds to be ap-
portioned shows that in the upper
peninsula counties the state tax is
largely exceeded by the amount of
school money to be received. The
figures for the fifteen counties are
given as follows:
