We publish this week the annual
report of the Marshall County Skan-
dinaviske Fire Insurance Co. This
successful insurance company man
aged exclusively by farmers and for
farmers, has done a greatly increased
business this year, and is, as the re-
port shows, in very fourishing- con-
idtion. 1t is the means of saving
the farmers who belong to it large
sums that otherwise would be paid
to the old line companies with their
excessive rates. During the past six
years the company has paid out
S2657 for losses, and has never yethad
to levy an assessment upon it's mem
beers, the annual dues OFFS cts a
hundred being sufficient to meet all
demands. There can be no cheaper
insurance than that, and it would
seem that no farmer can afford to
insure in any other company.
Don't plant fruit trees too close.
Leave room for growth and for the
requisite amount of sunshine.
Plan the vegetable garden now and
make 1T larger and better than that
of last year. Your surplus product
can be sold.
Keep the drinking troughs clean.
This applies to those used by all
classes of live stock, even down to
the poultry.
