THE REASON WHY.

An exchange discourses upon the
subject of advertising as follows:
Ny son, there is nothing on earth
so mysteriously funny as a news
paper advertisement. The prime,
first, last and all the time object OF
an advertisement is to draw Gus
tom. 1t is not, was not and never
will be designed for any other hui
man purpose. So the merchant
waits till the busy season comes
and his store is so full of customers
he can't get his hat of, and then
rushes to the newspapers and puts
in his advertisement. When tie
dull season gets along and there IS
no trade and he wants to sell goods
so bad he can't pay his rent, he
takes out his advertisement. That
is, some of them 60, but occasionally
a level-headed merchant puts in a
bigger one and scoops all the bust
ness, while his neighbOrs are max
ing mortgages to pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't
stop people from buying everything
in the store if you planted a can
non behind the door, and that's
the time the advertisement is sent
out on its holy mission. 1t makes
light work for the advertisement,
for a chalk sign on The sidewalk
could do all that was needed and
have half holiday six days in the
week but who wants to favor an
advertisement They are built to
do hard work, and should be sent
out in the dull days when Gus
toner has to be knocked down with
hard facts, and kicked insenslble
with bankrupt reductions and drag
ged in with irresistible slaughter of
prices before he will spend a cent.
That's the aim and end Of an adver-
tisement, my son, and if you ever
open a store don't try TO get them
to come when they are already
sticking out Of the windows, but
give them your advertisement right
between the eyes during dull sea
son, and you Twill wax rich and own
a fast horse, and, perhaps, be able
to smoke a good cigarOnce or twice
a year. Write this down whereyou
will fall over it every day. The
time to draw business is when you
want business, and not when you
have more business than you can
attend to already.

Grass Seeding.

An exchange says that whether to
seed to grass in spring or autumn
depends on circumstances. On
some lands when the weather is
favorable fall seeding will seem to
do best. But often when the au.
tumn months are dry the grass gets
such a poor start that unless the
winter is very favorable it makes
but a poor showing the following
spring. Crickers and grasshOppers
often do much damage to fall seed
ed land. In dry weather the young
grass starts slow, and makes but
little growth, and at such times
these insects are usually very plen-
". and on the borders Of the new
seeded land they often eat the ten
der grass as fast as it grows until
it is entirely destroyed. BY seed
ing in the spring we avoid these
causes of failure. BY seeding in
spring with grain we save the
ploughing and narrowing of the
land for one crop, as two crops are
sowB together. When grass seed
is sown in spring with grain on
good, well.prepared land it is al
II ost sure TO start and grow well
till the grain ripsns and is harvest
ed. IF the grass fails it is usually
at this time. We have noticed
that when the grain was cut
green for fodder the grass did
much better than when it was left
to ripen.

Marry a Gentleman.

1t was excellent advice l saw
lately given to young ladies urging
them to marry only gentlemen or
not marry at all. The word was
used in its broadcast sense. 1t did
not have reference to those who

merely, to entitle them to the dis
tinction, but to those possessed OF
true, manly and noble qualities,

man may be ever so rustic in his

Orchard Work In June.

American Agriculturist for June.]
Much may be done in the way OF
anticipated pruning by going
among newly-planted trees and rub
brng off all shoots that appear
where branches are not wanted.
, BY doing this now, the trouble OF
saving off large branches some
wears later will be avoided. Crafts
that we're inserted this Spring, and
are beginning to grow, should be
treated as if they were young trees
and brought into proper shape by
judicious pruning. Ifone bud on
a graft takes the lead Of all the
Others, stop it by pinching. In
short, treat a graft as if 1t were a
young tree planted in the soil, in
stead of being planted in another
tree.
If shoots appear upon grape
vines where they are not wanted,
remove them. If an old vine has
been severely pruned, numerous
buds will start upon the old wood.
These are generally not wanted
and should be broken Off as soon as
they appear.
This will be a lively month with
insects. The curculio attacks the
plum soon after the fruit is set.
Earring the trees and catching the
fallen insects upon sheets spread
upon the ground is the only efec.
tive remedy.
Plant-lice often appear in great
numbers at the ends ofthe branches
of cherry, pear, and other fruit
trees. If these can be bent down
and dipped into strong soap-suds,
the insects may be killed. If out
of reach, syringe them with kerO-
sene emulsion. This is so general
~ useful as an insecticide on plants
that we repeat it here :
Stir kerosene with half as much
milk until no oil is visible then
dilute with twelve times its bulk Of
water. This will kill almost all in
sects without injury to the plants.

Farm and Household.
MISTAKES Of FARMERS.

1. To think that any one can
farm, that a man who has starved
as a canvaSser for a patent tooth
pick or has been unsuccessful as a
carpenter, can jump into a bust
ness requiring high intelligence
and perseveriDg efforts utterly IN
familiar with detail, and be able to
make money.
.. The idea that large farm
half stocked and poorly cultivated,
pays better than a few acres well
and carefully titled.
5. What is it but the worst kind
of mistake to pay hundreds Of
dollars for good farm machinery,
and allow it for want Of proper
shelter to rot and become useless
year or so sooner than it should?
4. 1t is a mistake to let year
after year pass by with no attempt
to improve the quality of the farm
stock. Blooded cattle pay. They
make beef, the COWS give more and
richer milk. Better blood in horses
pays. a Norman or part Nor
man colt is a valuable piece of prop
erty.
). To let foolish pride or narrow
minded prejudice prevent the adop-
ton of new methods when they
have been proved by practical men.
6. To get up after the sun, lean
on fork handle, speculate for an
hour or two upon what the wealth
er is going to be, let the weeds get
a good start and then wonder why
farming don't pay.
Z. To leave a lot of unchOpped
wood, wet or half.splt, at the pile,
a lot of old harness hanging in the
kitchen, and muddy tracts IN the
dining. room and expect to see the
women folks good natured.
IS. To have a lot Of half-bred,
emaclated lonesome looking fowls,
roosting dejectedly in some old
cottonwood tree when few good
healty Rock or Brahma chickens,
properly housed, would make the
poultry yard and honor, instead OF
a disgrace.
