SUCCESSFUL FARMING
j. l.. Briner, Near Montrose, Secures
Large Income.

Montrose, Sept. 30.-What can be
accomplished on the average South
Dakota farm by intelligently directed
efforts is shown by the experience OF
j. l.. Briner and members of his fam
lily, living on a farm twelve miles
northeast of Montrose. The Briners
located on the farm three years ago,
and at that time had an Indebtedness
of $4,000. They paid up in full last
year and have since made numerous
improvements TO their farm buildings
and have purchased necessary farm
machinery, fancy stock, etc. They
sold $1,000 worth of hogs last year,
and their sales of hogs this year will
bring them an additional $1,000 or
more. Their farm swarms with poul-
try of all kinds and from this source
they also derive a good income. This
year they threshed 1000 bushels Of

POLITICAL ADDRESS OF CON
GRESSMAN ANDERSON TUES
DAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3.

Republican County Chairman III.
II. Holdridge has been advised that
Congressman Sydney Anderson, of
Minnesota. will be unable to reach
Madison Monday, as first announced
and his political address has been
postponed until Tuesday evening, DC
tober 3, at 8 o'clock, in the court
room of the county courthouse.
Congressman Anderson Is not only
one of the leading congressman of
his state. but he is recognized as a
leader in the halls of congress and
an orator of merit. Political speak
ers in the present South Dakota cam
paign are not plentiful and the peo-
pie of Madison and Lake county are
fortunate in having Congressman
Anderson assigned 10 them.
Chairman Holdridge is giving the
meeting as much publicity as posi-
BILE, and il is expected that a large
number of people from county towns
and farmers will be in attendance.

T.. L.. PECK ENTERTAINED
LAST EVENING.

one of the most novel social par
ties was given last evening by Mrs.
ID. A. Richards and Mrs. +. l.. Peck
at the home of the former. Sixty
guests were i'm attendance. The
rooms of the home were very appro-
priately decorated for the occasion.

wore gypsy costumes and entertain
ment of the guests was along gypsy
lines. Little Marie Habeger and
Pauline Peck. i'm gypsy costumes,
met the guests at the door. At the
hour of refreshments. the guests

home where they were provided with
plates of porridge by a band of gypsy
girls-Misses Beulah DeGood, Helen
and Ruth MeKibbin, Gladys Crabs,
Genevieye Holdridge, Ruth Regain,
Ruth HabeGer-the guests ascending
by the outside door of the basement
to the rooms above, where they par

AUDITORS TO HUSTLE
NEW LAW FAILED TO PROVIDE
WAY TO GET MAILING LISTS
FOR SAMPLE BALLOTS.

Pierre, Sept. 29.-The enactment
of Chapter ISL of the laws of 1915,
relating to elections, has caused a
conflict in a previous statute on tbs
subject of county auditors mailing
out a sample ballot TO each elector be-
fore the fall election. The old stat
ute provided that a list of the regis
tered voters be sent TO the county
auditor It least three days prior to
the election. The new statute, among
other details. provides that the u
ty auditor shall mail to each elector
of his county a sample ballot at least
ten days before the election. but the
new statute does not provide a way
for the auditor to obtain such list of
voters.
In consequence of this conflict, the
attorney general rules that as the
new statute does not specify from
what source the county auditor shall
get the names of electors, and as
there is no reference to the registra-
ton list provided for in the old stat
ute, that the county auditors shall do
as the new law orders. namely: Send
out the sample ballots at least ten
days before the election, and that
they shall secure the names and ad-
dresses of electors from any source
that might be available" to them.
The opinion suggests that the re-
turns of the previous general cleo
ton, assessors returns, registration
lists of cities, towns and townships,
supplemented by such other informa-
ton as the auditor can obtain, will be
undoubtedly sufficient for this pur-
pose.

TWO GOVERNORS DIG ROADS
IN OVERALLS

Farm and Fireside, in discussing
good roads, relates how Governor
Major, of Missouri, and Governor
Hodges, of Kansas, put on working
clothes and helped to build good roads.
1t says:
"1n working clothes and with prop
er equipment, Governor Major and
Governor Hodges were foremost
among the laborers, helping to make
bad dirt roads into good dirt roads.
1T was at banquet in Kansas City
shortly before Missouri's first good
roads days that Governor Major ban
tered Governor George H. Hodges, of
Kansas, and Governor Lee Cruce, of
Oklahoma, to come to Missouri to see
good roads built. Governor Hodges
agreed to come if Governor Major
would furnish the overalls. Major &C.
cepted the offer on condition that
Hodges work after he put on the over
alls. Governor Hodges not only came
and worked, but he started good roads
days in Kansas, which have been con-
tinued since his term of office expired
81 would rather" Hodges declared,
see more money go into the perman-
ent construction Of roads and less into
battleships and things of that sort.
Let's bring it right back to Kansas.
Let us begin the construction of a
great permanent system of rock roads
all over the United States, uniting
every capital and every city of conse-
Quence in these United States Of
Ours.''

WATCH FOR HOG CHOLERA NOW


This is the time of the year when
hog cholera is most common. Look
over your herd regularly that any sick
hogs may be promptly discovered.
If any hogs are found "off feed" or
appear in any way sick, separate them
Immediately from the other hogs
Watch them and the main herd care
fully. If the disease spreads the trou-
BILE is probably hog cholera. A change
of feed and especially with swill-fed
hogs, may sometimes bring relief in
case it is merely a digestive trouble.
When hog cholera is suspected treat
the hogs with protective serum at once.
Better kill any real sick hogs and burn
them at once.
Keep posted in regard to the health
Of hogs on the neighboring farms.
Sick hogs on farms nearby are dan
ger, as the germs of hog cholera are
carried on the feet of men and many
animals, such as sparrows, chickens
and dogs.
When in doubt in regard to the dis
ease, one or more dead pigs, properly
packed, may be shipped to the veter-
mary department, Agricultural college,
Fargo, for postmortem examination.
Always ship by express, prepaid, and
avoid starting the shipment at such a
time that the package remains in an
express office over Sunday or holiday.

Local banks may be employed, and
doubtless will be, to carry out the pro-

al land bank.

ROMANCE OF BINDER TWiNE

Farm and Fireside says that al
though binder Irvine is used extensive.
ly by farmers throughout the United
States, few know anything about sisal
hemp from which the binder twine is
manufactured.
Practically the whole supply comes
from Yucatan, Mexico, where the grow
ing and shipping of the hemp is the
main industry. The plant needs no IT.
rigation or cultivation of any sort, and
only twice a year do the fields have to
be cleared Of weeds, To offset this,
however, is the fact that it takes six or
seven years before the plant is ready
to be cut and yield fiber. There is no
fixed harvesting season, as this is de-
termined by the degree of maturity OF
the plant. The average productive
life is about Is years.

AN UNUSUAL PASTURE SEASON
(Farm Information Service, Mort

(Farm Information Service, North
Dakota Experiment Station.)
The present season is indeed an I'm.
usually favorable one for the continu-
Gus growth of grass. Pastures by Aug.
are in good condition and except for
the ripening up of a few seeds, the
grass is as green and fresh as it was in
June.
The frequent rains and warm wealth
er have, however, produced an abund-
ance of flies and mosquitoes. These
pests, along with the excessive heat,
have made life miserable for horses
and cattle in spite Of the abundance of
feed. The need of shade in the pas
lures is being forcibly demonstrated
these days. Fortunate is the stockman
his pastures. Those who have neither
trees nor running water will find it
highly profitable to provide shade in
the form of an open shed and to at
least provide an ample supply Of good
fresh water in some way.
It is a pretty difficult matter to pro-
tect cattle on pastures from flies and
mosquitoes, but shade and fresh water
can be supplied and will do a great
deal toward providing comfort and
consequent larger gains in the cattle.
The present season cannot be taken
as an average one so far as the pas
lures are concerned. If the grass is
closely eaten off this year, one may be
sure that he has his pastures over
stocked for an ordinary year and will
do well to cut down a little on the
amount of stock kept unless the past
ure area is to be increased another
year.
From now on, care should be exer.
cised to not allow the pastures to be
eaten off too close or next spring
they will be late in starting.-W. H,

FOUR PER CENT MONEY
GETTING SCARCE

Farm and Firesiae, the national
farm paper published at Springfield
Ohio, in a recent issue, says:
General investors in farm loans
would be justified in worrying about
the future of that business; fearful
that investments made with the ex'
pectation of running a long period
might be taken up shortly with the
cheaper land-bank funds. The last
state under this scheme might be
worse than the first. The real ques-
ton is whether there is any great sup
ply of four per cent money in the
country; whether there is likely to be
any considerable supply of it in the
world for good many years after the
war. The whole world is going to
want capital to get back on it's feet"

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

There is lot of truth in the follow.
ing editorial from the Vesta Censor:
"One trouble with a lot of people is
that they think of bank as place to
get money out of rather than a place
to put money in. We all spend too
much money for luxuries and never
think that maybe sometime we will
need assistance. Rather save a few
dollars each week and put them in the
bank; keep this up as long as you are
able to earn money, and when a dark
day rolls around you can say: well,
I've got a few hundred in the bank
that will help out nicely until things
get better; money that would have
been foolishly spent had l not placed
it in a bank"
