Stop a Moment.

A great truth is made public by the
Crookston times: Did our merchants
ever stop to think that advertising
not only increased their business, but
benefits the town as well. Instances
are numerous, where farmers and res
idents Of surrounding towns came
many miles out of their way in order
to trade in town where business
men advertise something extra in the
way uf bargains. There is not a mer-
chant, who knows how to advertise
right, but will tell yod that he has
secured customers who were natural
ly tributary to other towns, by first
showing them through the local
papers, and afterwards demonstrating
to them by actual facts, that it would
pay them by travelling the extra dis.
lance to do their trading. A town
that las live advertisers Is the town
which draws its trade from the great.
est distance.

ats and Straw.


An article from the Crookston
times, is going the rounds,suggesting
the economy of feeding oats in the
straw to stock, thereby saving the ex-
pense of threshing. Does it never
occur to these writers, that before a
horse goes out to half days work, he
must be fed,after eating hay or straw
all night, and some horses don't lay
down for several nights in succession.
Then again, working horse gets but
an hour to feed in, at dinner time, and
then go to work again for another
half day. Suppose he gets only what
oats he can pick out of the straw in
an hour, what condition will he be in
at night? He will be rather lank in.
deed. No, if you want some new in
vention, you must try something else
for your novelty; or you will soon
find yourselves out of horses. This is
only slow process of starvation. 1t
wouldn't hurt cows to feed them by
such a system, but even they, would
waste more than half the oats. In
searching for it, they would trample
more than half under foot, Trampl.
ing the straw under foot wouldn t
hurt, for any one who was level head
ed enough to Use the manure. But
the oats would have to go with the

room. Some old clothes saturated
with kerosine, with an uncorked bot
tie of the same fluid, wrapped up
within the said clothes, was on fire.
