"DoEs advertising pay, is no longer

are too many wealthy and prosperous

says the Waco Examiner. "who trace
their success directly to this means, to
render any argument necessary to es-
iablish our claim that it does pay, and
that with very wide margins of profits

open question is how 1t shall be done to
the best advantage. In the first place
the local press stands head and should
ers above all papers in value as me-
dunn. The true philosophy is to select
those papers having the largest circula-
tion among the people from whom you
expect patronage. Generally those
papers having the largest circulation
have the most influence. The one quail
ity is but the corollary Of the other.
After the medium has been selected
comes the question of how 1t shall look
in the columns of the paper, how its at
tractiye and catching qualities may be
enhanced. From long experience and
careful study Of this subject we have
deduced the following plans, and we be-
lieve they will be found about as efiec-

lne Care Of Farm Implements.

Every farmer who employs transient
laborers learns the Importance of hav-
ing every farm implement nut in it's
proper place every night, or before, if
the job be finished before night. If a
tool be left where last used BY one who
is not constantly employed, when
wanted. the n who used it last
not being present, it will be very diff
cult to find it. 1t is important that the
farmer himself should be careful to
keep all farm implements in their
proper places. for if he is.careless, it is
very certain that his hired help will
initiate him. and in this way the i'm
plements of the farm will be so scat
tered that it will be very difficult to
find them. unless it is remembered
where they were last used.
When tools are left scattered over the
farm, there is not only a great loss of
time in looking after them, but often
when found they are'not in condition to
do good work easily, even if they are
not decayed SO as to break when put to
uss. AS we ride through the
country we see many costly farm
implements that have been left
in the field, to be housed at
the farmers convenience, which
evidently does not come until months
after. This is not economy, for most
of farm implements that are now in use
are of q character to be seriously in
iured by being exposed to either rain
or sunshine, and when exposed to bot1
it requires but a short time to render
them nearly worthless.
Few buildings on the farm'are more
important than a Toulouse: this
should be large enough to hold all OF
the tools, and if there be room enough
in addition to make the simple repairs
on the implements it will be a great
convenience.
There are portions of almost every
farm implement that should be kept
well-painted, and other portions that
should be well-oiled; there are things
that every farmer can do when the
weather is not suitable to work, out in
the field. MANY implements will last
twice as long if kept well-oiled and
painted, and yet the cost of doing i
is so %tritiing that it is not worth consid
ering.
The introduction of improved farm
implements has so largely increased the
value of the tools that are necessary to
run o moderate size farm chat it is ar
important question as to how to take
care. of them so as to make them last
thelOngest.-M0ss achMseWs POuqhmUn.

VentilatiOn.

1t two persons are to occupy a Sleep
ing-room together for a night, let them
be weighed upon retiring, and then
again in the morning, and they will
find that the actual weight is at least
one pound less in the morning. Ere
quently there will be a loss of two or
more pounds, and the average loss
throughout the year will be more than
q pound That is, during the night
there is a loss of a pound of matter
which has gone off from the body, par
ly through Che lungs and partly through
the pores Of the skin. The escapedma-
terial is carbonic acid gas and decayed
animal matter, or poisonous, exhala
tons. This is diffused through the air
in part, and in part absorbed by the
bedclothes. If a single ounce. of wood
or cotton be burned in q room, it will
so completely sarurate the air with
smoke that n can hardly breathe,
though there can be but an. ounce of
foreign matter in the air. If an ounce
of cotton be burned every half hour
during the night, the air will be con-
tinuously saturated with smoke, unless
there is an outlet for it. Now the six
teen ounces Of smoke thus formed are
far less dangerous or poisonous than
the sixteen ouncas of exhalations from
the lungs and bodies of two persons
who have lost a pound in weight dur
ing the eight hours of sleeping, for
while the dry smoke is mainly taken
into the lungs, the damp odors from
the body are absorbed both into the
lungs and into the pores of the entire
body.
Nothing stronger can be said to prove
the necessity for ventilation in bed
rooms. and of thoroughly airing the
sheets, ~coverlets. and mattresses in the
morning before putting them into the
form Of a neatly-made bed. Children
more than any others suffer from bad
air. The restless tossing and mutter-
ing, the. disturbed sleep. all give
ST. ongest evidence of the effects of bad
air. This is further confirmed by the
dull eye, stupid expression, lanquid
movements, and unrefreshed feeling
which are visible in the morning.
Every house should be well ventilated.
