AdverfisinU.

We said. the other day, that 1.-THE man
who dosen't ADVERTISE his business, ad-
yertises that no hoe """e I" "dV"rt'ee''
This wasn't said for the mere sake Of
epigralnmatic point, but because it is to
a very great extent true and is generally
received as truth by the community. A
person who wishes to purchase articles
gees W here they are advertised IL for
sale: lie doesn't think it worth his while
TO hunt around for them at random
among dealers, who, from not advcrtis-
ing them, are presumed not to have
them. In al! such eases, the newspa-
per is justly regarded rs the best bust
ness guide-book.
Those who don't advertise at all, or
only to very limited extent, have fail
ed to profit by the uniform experience of
men of business in all countries and in
all times since the newspaper became
an institution. The great lesson which
experience teaches is evident from the
fact that the amount of advertising in
creases not only with every generation
but with every decade and every year,
You will never hear man complain OF
having advertised too much, but thou
sands daily confess their regret at having
neglected so sure and obvious a means
of profit. OF all the numerous person.
in the United States, who, during oul
editorial life, have distinguished them
selves by the large extent of their adver
Using, we don't know of even one that
has failed to amass princely fortune
No doubt ii required considerable nerve
at first to venture upon the expenditures
necessary to advertising largely, but the
wisdom of the policy isso we'll establish
cd now that precious little nerve, ifany
is called into requisition.
With all our Partially for Wheeling
we are constrained to say that her bust
ness men seem to have less enlightened
comprehension of the policy of adver.
Using than those of cities in general
We don't know of any city of her size
North or South, where there isn't twice
as much advertising done as is done
here. In cities of half or even quarter
of her size, there is more advertising
than here. As a consequence, our peo-
pie suffer in their business, and our city
is retarded in her prosperity. People
abroad judge MS by the standard of the
advertising columns of our papers more
than by any other. And thus it mnst
and will ever continue to be. Occasion
ally you will find a man, a candidate
for business, who will tell you that he
dosen't advertise because he isn't max
ing any money! What a strangely alb
surd reason! If man isn't making
money, let him, by advertising, draw to
himself the business whereby he can
make it: and, if he is makinga small or
large amount of money, let him adver-
tise for the business whereby he can
make more. OF all the thousands who
advertise, we don't believe that any fail
to profit by it.
And we have had far better means of
Judging than most people.

OyER-rEEDrNG SrocK.-The Farmers
Gc.efte, of Europe, says: sit is we'll
known that the evils of the system OF
overlooking show stock OF all kinds
have been frequently deplored, and
strong representations made on the SUB
iect Gy breeders, and by the agricultu--
raj press. Yet, up to the latest show OF
breeding stock that was held, there was
not the slightest symptom of improve
ment. 1t seems strange that the parties
most interested in the matter should be
so much opposed to it,and yet that moth
ing is done TO remedy the evil. The
reason is simply this, Overlooking has
become q fashion, and breeders know
very well that unless they yield TO IL,
they may keep their stock at home, Tor
if they ventured to show their cattle
or sheep in the State these would be
kept for breeding, no one would look
at them.

SrEAMING FoDDER.-COarse fodder
may be made to go great way, with
little art. Cattle and horses refuse
,cornstalks, not because they are not
good feed, bat because they are hard to
chew, and they choose not to chew
them. Cut up by good stalk enter
that either cuts them i'll half-inch
pieces, or slices them very diagonally,
and soaked twenty-four hours, wet with
hot water, meal, and the hardest salt
being added, will almost all be eaten
Still, steaming is better, for it does not
necessitate keeping twenty-four hours
stock of prepared feed on hand all the
time. The most convenient steaming
apparatus is probably hogshead hung
on trunnions, the steam being passed to
the bottom through rubber hose from
n boiler. With such an arrangement
all kinds of fodder, straw, stalk, hay
root, etc, may be cooked for cittle OF
swine, and the greatest possible eeono-
my in fodder attained.

FRUIT GROWING FOR SroCK FEEDING.
If apples are abundant, and you have
not help sufficient to gather them for
market, or To make them into cider, it
will of course pay to feed them to hogs,
especially if they are sweet ones. Good,
rich, early Winter or late fall apples of
high-toned yet subacid favor, make the
best cider, though q large adnixture of
sweet apples is no disadvantage, rs it
adds strength. So mach for the general
policy of raising apples TO feed hogs
the least profitable way Of disposing Of
them, provided you can do anything
else with them. ,
