When trade is dull, or just after some special season of activity, some businessmen stop advertising, or nearly so. In that respect they are as foolish as would be the farmer who should refuse to Ifertllize his soil until the ground improved in quality. The farmer fertilizes his farm that it may be more productive and the shrewd businessman advertises liberally in dull times to make his business mare productive. In truth, the businessman who thus advertises does not know what slack times are as compared with the merchant that advertises only when times are good.

Hog cholera is being placarded in Benspn county. Any farm where the cholera has broken out is marked with a flaming red placard which -reads: “Hog Cholera! Keep Out! When necessary to drive or walk through these yards you paust clean your shoes, the horses’ feet and the wheels of vehicles by washing them with a 2 per cent water solution M a reliable disinfectant.” A number of cases of hog cholera have been discovered in the southern part of Benton county within the past few days. J. W. McFarland, the county agent, is working hard to eradicate the disease. He estimates that there are fully twenty infected herds in the county. It is probable that a bill making it compulsory to placard all cholera farms will be presented to the state legislature when it convenes in January.
