He Took No Chances.

A friend who was by way of becoming a sociologist, went to Cleveland to look over that city’s model farm and infirmary, and Fred C. Kelly took him out there. They were shown all over the place, including the insane ward. Just as they were leaving that ward a man carrying a big razor in his hand came out of a door and started for them. Both Kelly and,hie friend ran. They stopped when they reached the office, panting, and the superintendent. who is a fat mah. came lumbering after them. “What’s the matter with you?” asked the superintendent. “Did he cut anybody’s throat?” chorused Kelly and his friend. “Who?” “That big patient with the razor.” “Oh,” said the superintendent, “that was just an attendant who had been shaving some of the inmates. Come on back.” “Not on your life!” said Kelly. “He may only be imagining that he’s an attendant.” —Saturday Evening Post.

Working From a Model.

“It is doubtful,” said the author of entertaining sea stories, “whether a man ought to attempt to write things outside of his personal observation.” “But take your own case. You are writing of pirates, yet you never saw one.” “No i never saw one. Bat wnen I want to write a good description of k pirate, I shut my eyes and think of my publisher."

Advertising Talks

TALK ON RETAIL AD PROBLEMS Seek for Cheerfulness, Avoid Superlatives and Write Intelligent, j Careful Copy.

A practical talk on advertising was given at a noon luncheon of the Publicity Club of Springfield, Mass., the other day by Willard E. Freeland, assistant secretary of the Worcester board of trade and secretary of the Worcester Publicity Association. His subject was "A Plea for More Efficient Retail Advertising." i- “In my own mind,” said Mr. Freeland, “I have alvfays divided the advertiser’s problem into five grand divisions: Appropriation, media, copy and cuts, layout, cooperation. The appropriation, the first —and with many advertisers the last and the middle —is a real problem. I remember one big shoe manufacturing firm that was saved from failure by the insistence of one of the partners that all costs should be figured on the basis of the largest production not only when the factory was running at capacity but at all other seasons. I thoroughly believe that the retailer should absorb some of this idea and should plan his appropriation for the year on the business of his best sear son.

“When you see a cut or display line that is likely to be associated with the reader’s former experience,” said Mr. Freeland in discussing the question of copy, “you have established a bond that will make him read further. Why then waste time and money on pretty cuts and pretty sayings that are not in some way linked up to your story? W’hy make the mistake of placing an attractive and catchy cut below your legend so that the eye will jump down to it and then go on to the next fellow’s ad? Why not cater to that sense of pleasure in every human being by properly dividing the proportions of your advertisement instead of offending the eye and creating an unconscious state of rebellion in the reader’s mind?

“I decry the use of the superlative. There is something wrong with a man’s mental process when he thinks to Impress people with the use of such words as greatest, stupendous, extraordinary, gigantic and the host of other extravagant words that meet our eye in every newspaper of the land. I am not a believer in the use of comparative prices. Many of the strongest retail concerns have dropped the use of this feature of the usual retail copy and I have yet to hear of the concern which has gone back to such use.

“If you have occasion to make sweeping reductions be sure and Include in your copy a full statement of the reason for such reduction, couched in such truthful and sensible terms that the reader will be able to -see a logical reason therefor. If your buyer has made an error of judgment and overloaded some department, say so; .it won’t hurt you. People will be impressed with the fact that you are frank and truthful and that you are only human like themselves. Be sure and state prices always. Give adequate description of the goods you offer. Do not by direct statement or by innuendo mention your competitors or competing lines. It serves only to distract attention. the one thing that you are most desirous of retaining. Study the wonderful power of habit. Make all use possible of this universal habit Keep your business always before the people by continuity in advertising Haye some one thing in your advertisements, some special name cut, some rbecial face or type, some general arrangement of copy that will bring you and business to the reader’s mind at even a cursory glance. \

“A word about cooperation. Note the methci of national and technical magazines and endeavor to get on the same page with your competitors, that you may all share in the assured result of cumulative advertising. When you boost your competi tors’ game you are boosting your own. Be honest in your copy and be honest in your goods and selling methods. Make sure that every clerk knows precisely what you are advertising for the day. Change your windows to agree with your ads.' Employ cheerful ads and cheerful clerks. Use every means to create an air of confidence and good will and optimism. Thus will you create trade for yourself and your community, strengthen the faith of the public in the printed word and make of advertising what it should be—your most successful salesman”' '

POULTRY

Give salt regularly. Cows should be kept out of the cold. Rhubarb forcing may begin at any time. Egg production isnt made with a one-grain diet. w . A hen can’t lay unless it has an abundance of feed. The horse is the only animal which every farmer must have. When you go into town, invest in a good thermometer for the dairy. Keep the ensilage covered. Frozen ensilage is no advantage to stock. A good horseman never trots a draft horse, even when he has no load. , Sometimes size in sheep is secured at the expense of activity and vitality.' It is a mistake to feed the pigs sour milk when they are learning to eat. , x When at all indisposed, a turkey should be separated from the rest of the flock. A lamb that is large and strong will stand weaning better, and also winter better. Hogs are great lovers of warmth and must have it for their most economical growth. Size, vigor and activity of both cockerels and pullets are essential to good breeding of fowls. The most beautiful horse ia not worth much unless he has good, sound limbs and feet. Sunshine is life to all animals and all farm buildings should be so planned as to afford it. Wheat middlings can nearly always be used to advantage in connection with corn in fattening hogs. Rubbing the inside churn with dry salt after washing and wiping it helps in keepin b it sweet When from any cause a horse is let stand idle in the stable his rations should be cut down to one-half. We should let-the heifers have what mixed hay they will Consume and some of the cornstalks to pick over. The individuality of each horse should be studied, and the feeds supplied to meet individual requirements.

The churn should be thoroughly scalded and cooled with clean, cold water before the cream is put into it

While growing colts should be allowed to run out as long as the weather will permit them to be exposed Ho the storm.

If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with wafer, and it will save the horse much annoyance, but better not feed it at all.

Do not feed the cows corn meal if you are feeding corn silage for there is as much corn in the silage as the cows should have.

Be sure there are no narrow doors for -the ewes to crowd through. One jam may cause the lose of a lamb, or both ewe and lamb.

If the milker and cow are co-work-ers in the milking business the milker will have a larger pail full of good milk when he has finished.

An orchard that is poorly planted and carelessly managed the first year is often an irregular, unprofitable orchard for its entire existence.

The cow that has a liberal appetite and at the same time turns a large share of her feed into dairy products is the cow that brings the greatest profit

Kindness is one of the cheapest and best rations you can feed to your stock. They relish it more than the most succulent thing you can put before them.
