AN ANNOUNCEMENT
To 4ha P,,hI;c

The officers and directors of the
Madison Mill & Grain Company OF
this city. believing that a statement
concerning the organization, control
and condition of that company would
be of interest to the people of this
community. have requested and auth
orized me to submit the following:
Shortly after the failure of the
firm of Larkin & Metcalf, a syndi-
cate, comprised of II. r. Dennis, OF
Sioux Falls, s. D., John W. Walden
and W. /. Thompson, of this city,
and James F. Toy, of Sioux City,
Iowa. purchased from the referee in
bankruptcy the Madison mill and all
elevators of the former firm, for a con
sideration of $22, 050.
About the same time the Madison
Mill & Grain Company, a corporation.
was Incorporated. with a paid up CAPT
tai of $50, 900, with the following
directors: FL. R. Dennis, Sioux Falls,
$. D.. james F. Toy, Sioux City,
Iowa, John w. Walden, Madison, s.
D.. D. A. Mccullough, Howard, s.
D., and W. 1. Thompson, Madison,
s. ID. This corporation took over from
the syndicate all of the Larkin & Met
calf property at the original purchase
price.
Soon after this, the elevators al
Winfred and Waubay were disposed
of, and the company's property now
consists of the Madison mill and ele-
vators at Madison, Colman. Viles.
Ramona and Lily, South Dakota.
The company's first zeal was a very
satisfactory one. After making ex.
~tepsive improvements, including new
machinery in the mill, amounting to
in the neighborhood of "a, 500 (paid
out of the surplus fund of the com,
pany,) a cash dividend of ten pei
cent ON the capital stock was de-
clared at the annual meeting last
August.
The demands for the products of the
company has increased steadily to such
an extent that beginning January
first, the mill will be operated eight.
teen hours each day.
At different seasons of the year ad
ditional capital is necessary to carry
on the business. and this is obtained
entirely from the Sioux Falls Saving,
bank, Sioux Falls. South Dakota. and
the P. B. Mann Company. of Min.
neapolis, Minnesota.
The company. since its orRaniza
t1on, has not made any loans. or re
ceived any financial sssi stance of any
nature from any of the Madisor
banks, but has preferred to obtair
this in Minneapolis and Sioux Falls
where better and more liberal accom-
modations have been secured.
The Madison Mill q Grain Com
pany wishes to be considered a strict
ly home institution, and az such will
always be found ready to generously
assist in the promotion of any loca
interest.
The officers and directors of th,
company wish me to assure the pub
lie of their sincere appreciation o
their good will and patronage, and t,
invite a continuance of the same.
By w. /. Thompson,
Secretary.

PLAN TO SAVE THE. HAY CROP
farmers Cannot Afford to Allow Vaiu-
able Alfalfa and Glover to Be
Ruined by Showers.

Many farmers will be aggravated
by frequent showers during alfalfa and
clover haying. What are you going to
to about it? Are you going to let hay
worth to you as feed from So to SIS
per ton be spoiled by rain?
One cannot always wait for the
weather to get settled. In many locali-
les it does not settle till after haying
Is over. Overripe hay Is very little
good. 1t must be cut in season, re
sardless Of the weather We suggest
hat you get hundred hay caps for
the field and some stack covers il you
stack outdoors. The caps will not cost
very much and II cared for will last
many years, Then you can cover the
hay cocks and let them cure longer
than you would dare If they were left
exposed to rain.
We've got to look more carefully to
saving what we grow, as we'll as grow.

the cause Of the disease perpetuates
Itself in the soil and each year Injuries
the cabbage which is planted there.
The disease is spread from field to
field by being carried on cultivators
and the feet Of horses, soil erosion,
and by throwing diseased cabbages to
stock on pasture. Guard carefully
against introducing any material into
a field which may carry the germs Of
the club root from diseased fields, and
especially against diseased soil and
diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will
allow at least three years between
crops of cabbage, rutabagas or tur-
pips Apply stable manure to- the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to
the cabbage crop. If acid phosphate
Is used the same rule would hold,
Lime will more successfully counteract
the club root disease than other sub
stances. Apply 1t at the rate OF 100
bushels OF more per acre, one or two
years previous to planting the cab
bage.
