O. N. HILE. Rensselaer, Ind. Set the eggs while fresh. Keep dirt out of the dairy. It always pays to treat the cow with gentleness. It is an error to feed a horse once only in 24 hours. •' Both horses and mules should be given daily exercise. One of the most common mistakes is underfeeding the dairy cow. The age for working colts varies, with size, strength and maturity. The life of a standard separator depends upon its care to a great extent. Rye hay, properly cured, makes an excellent hay for horses, mules and cows. • Going to the shop over icy roads with smooth shoes may ruin your best horse. Shorthorns bred with good judgment today are the great all-purpose cattle. The best time to cut the tails as well as castrdte is when the lamb is a week old. Perhaps a banking of the cow barn around the foundation would help keep out the cold. Any man who strikes a horse in the head should never be allowed to touch one again. The dairyman who puts a low value on his skim-milk admits his Inability in his profession. A regular time for salting the cows summer and winter will keep you from . forgetting this chore. The farmer who makes an effort to t fill the corn crib and smokehouse each 1 year generally succeeds. A properly trained horse will stop as soon as anything goes wrong with the harness or his shoes, v ' .

Wild strawberries have the most delicious flavor. They are easily transplanted to the garden. There Is no better place for growing pigs Intended either for breeding br fattening, than the pasture. Clean up the yard and farmstead generally. Plan to set out Ab few more ornamentals next spring. 9 The development of the young horse requires the exercise of the best judgment in handling him. The cheapest ration for the (Jairy cow is a combination of corn silage, alfalfa hay and cotton seed meal. ;'■ ' ; 011-meal, properly fed, isl considered by our best stockmen to be one of the most nourishing foods that can be fed. . . A plump young turkey, dresslngfrom eight to fifteen pounds, finds a market at almost any season of the year. Good sheep require good care to maintain their excellence. Poor sheep are always a burden upon the rest of the flock. .■ i • Burnt or caustic lime Is made by burning limestone, oyster shells and ; other such materials as are high Ip liming elements.

c advertising H w DIGNITY IN ADVERTISING. People Asked to Purchase Are Erw titled to Respectful Consideration—Some Modern Methods. All advertising should be dignified in its way, whether it be exploiting a two-cent article or a thousand-dollar one. You are asking people to buy, •and they are entitled to respectful language and a polite manner. Levity is all very well in its way, at times, but ii should not be indulged in at the expense of dignity. The advertiser should have respect for himself and his repiitation, as well as for the people ho is making his appeal to. The < li. aper, commoner articles of everyday Use 1 by the great masses, of the people have been advertised hon estly.. straightforwardly and with dig nity for a great many years.* They are, perhaps, the kind of goods that might he advertised in a less dignified way without any consequent injury to tlie spies. Sonie> imes, an advert Iser of some popular art ide will indulge In slang that "eayhes" a certain class of people. Somel lines he stoops to systems and met hods t hat are decidedly “infill dig." but. because of the nature of the article, the public overleeks the indiscretion. . v . But when the manufacturers or deal- - ers In articles that appeal only to the intelligent and wealthy classes—articles the cost of which runs up into the hundreds of dollars—lose their self-respect and abuse that of the public by adopting circus methods to advertise their products, we be pardonfed for feeling surprised, and we cannot but agree heartily with the authorities who have endeavored to stop this style of publicity when It has overstepped the bounds of reason. The postofflce authorities, and the stress of public opinion, have recently ended the so-called ‘‘puzzle T propositions" of many , of the popular piano houses, and a few of them have taken refuge in a new scheme, which is even more reprehensible than the "rebus" and puzzle plans. The leading idea is to sell pianos on time payments, anyone firm with many branches throughout the country recently offered cash prizes of SIOO and $lO bills for the best “slogans” or catch phrases that would advertise their particular piano. So far as is known, the prizes were duly awarded, but the unsuccessful contestants were far more fortunate than the winners, according to the statement of the firm alluded to. Outside of the chief prize winner, the other ten received, respectively, ten dollars each, while those who tried but failed to win a prize, were rewarded by the firm with an order for sß7—to apply on the payment of any piano purchased from the firm within a given time. An accompanying circular states that these orders are "as good as gold coin" to any one wishing to purchase a piano, and that the “order is as good as so much cash.” J The winning slogans were therefore only entitled to ten dollars each, while the unfortunate rejected ones each received the equivalent of nearly vine times as much as the winners got. j This appeared very curious logic ex- , cept on the supposition that the order for SB7 was really worth about the value of the paper it was printed onThe trick was so palpable that it la reasonable to suppose the indefatigable authorities will soon be “after” the offending firm again, and with a probable indictment to follow. While it Is scarcely likely that any person really needing a piano could be hoodwinked into such a scheme aa the above, it Is nevertheless high ' time that all reputable piano concerns , got together and made some deternaln- , ed effort, to stop such tricky advertlsi Ing in connection with their really digI nlfied and very reputable business.—Fame. J* Advertising is teaching the § £ consumer to know what he fi *♦ wants. He is more apt tp pur- 8 chase goods he is familiar with g g than those of which he has no 3 £ knowledge. £ Will Fight Program Advertising. ! The Lansing (Mich.) Clothiers* association has appointed a committee to consult with business men engaged In other lines of trade and secure , their co-operation In the elimination ' of all advertising, except insert,ed in publications which appear at regular intervals. It is estimated that more than SIO,OOO was spent last year In Lansing for advertising in programs for church and fraternal organizations, from which no benefit j was derived. —— , - ■ Churches Must Advertise.
