Docs Advertising Pay?

He is slow man indeed who afirms
that julicious advertising does not pay.
Let the skeptic look around him. in any
city or business center, and note the
most successful business men there.
Who are they? The careful and judi
cious advertisers invariably.
Some raise the objection that every.
thing is now sold at SO small margin OF
profit that they cannot afford to adver-
tise. This is just why they should adj
vertise. Where is the advantage Of &C.
lccting particularly cheap or offering
especially great bargains if the people
are not made aware Of them:
There is no questioning the fact that
there is an immense amount OF money
wasted, positively thrown away, in sc
called advertising schemes that are abso
lutely worthless, and that fail utterly Il
bring the investor in them any return
whatever for the money expended. AL
the experienced advertisers avoid them
using only tho standard, long tried. reli
able mediums--the newspapers. the hes
and the cheapest.
As it ia known that the most success
full business men are the greatest adver
Users, SO is it fact that all successful
advertisers are firm believers in the news
paper-bclievers not only IN It's effective
uess, but it's cheapness.

A Matter Of Memory.

As n rule. it is best for the advertiser
to confine each announcement to few
leading articles The average reader re-
members one or two facts. briefly and
thoroughly impressed. with greater ease
than larger number running through a
somewhat extended announcement. In
the case of u merchant. the first thing to
be done is to attract the buyers to his
store. When the buyers come there. 1t
the merchant cannot sell them 1t Is his
fault. ana not the fault Of the newspaper
or of the advertisement. The tendency
of the time is towards brief. pointed,
'meaty" matter. whether it lie of lit
erary, newsy or business nature. The
object sought by every advertiser is to
induce people to bread his announcements
An attractive advertisement. containing
not too much matter. and calling atten
ton to few specialties or leaders. is. al

The Natural Advertising Medium.


The local weekly is the natural medi-
un for reachin; the vast number OF peo-
pie who live in the small towns and vii
lagos. Advertisers who wish to reach
this class of people should not make the
mistake of supposing that the ground Is
thoroughly covered by the big daily and
weekly publications of the cities. While
it is true that the metropolitan dailies
are being more generally taken than for
merly among country people. it is also
true that they do not receive the careful
reading that i, accorded the home paper.

Strawberry Leaf Blight,

1t is known that this disease usually
causes the greatest injury by attack ing
the new growth which appears directly
after the new fruit. is harves ted. At
this period the old leaves contain in
Vulnerable spores, and it is these that
infect the young leaves. To prevent
this the practice of burning over the
plants just after the fruit is gathered
has been followed with success, the
young plants usually starting up and
growing thriftily after the treatment
The complete destruction of the old
leaves is usually effected by first now
ing the plants, allowing the foliage to
dry for day or two and then burning
Last year an experiment was made by
Colonel Pearson, with a view to deter
mine the effect of spraying the foliage
with a strong solution of sulphuric acid.
Several rows of strawberry plants, bad
ly infested with Headlight, were
sprayed with solution made by mixing
one pint of sulphuric acid with six gal
Ions of water, the application being
made soon after the fruit was harvested.
AS Il result of this spraying the old
leaves were as effectually destroyed as
If they had been burnt with fire, and
two weeks later the plants had started
up fresh and green. On the 10th of
September the difference between the
treated and lntreated points was quite
striking. The sprayed rows were fresh
and green. while adjoining unsprayed
plants left for control were badly
blighted. Where one has suitable
spraying pump it would doubtless be
economy to adopt this method of de-
stroying the old plants rather than the
plan of moving and burning with fire.

SKILLED WOMEN WORKERS.
In the Future They Will Join Combina-
lions to Raise the Price of Labor.

In the Future They Will Join Combine
lions to Raise the Price of Labor.
Combination among skilled women
workers is increasing every day, though
slowly, for women are naturally con-
sentative, and they do not readily ac-
cept the principle of unionism. They
have, many of them, suffered sorely
from the effect of strikes, and though
they realize that prolonged combina-
ton, if carried out consistently, must
improve their position and in the long
run raise their wages, never lose sight
of the long period during which their
employment must cease till their ulti-
mate demands are conceded. Added to
which they do not forget the bitter feel
ings aroused-the breach between en-
ployer and servant, and above all, that
in struggle such as long strike must
always be it is only the strong who WIN;
the weak ones go to the wall.
All these things make women shy and
slow to join trade union, while the in
PRODUCTION of foreign labor in England
and the increasing demand on account
of their cheapness, for foreign goods
have made much deeper impression
on their minds than is generally adj
mitted. The skilled woman worker has,
however, the security of knowing that
she can take up her stand with greater
chance of success, for with the best
women workers, as with the men. the
supply is rarely in excess of the de-
mand. And were technical instruction
Nil, To cd no1 nf hlh nf
class work they can not do would BE
carried out in England, instead of being
executed by French women, who are
trained for it in many technical schools
which exist for women in France.
In Scotland the question has been
warmly espoused by the women who
work in Glasgow and Dundee, and the
prospect of combining for the unskilled
as we'll as the skilled workers is very
much more promising than in England
Scotch women are more independent
and self-reliant, added to which, though
the pay is bad, their surroundings are
less deteriorating than those of the Lon
don women, and their dwellings are bet
ter and rents are lower.
The rapid increase of the population
and the influx of people from the coun-
try to the large towns makes the prob
lem of how to deal with our unskilled
female labor every year more difficult.
The education hitherto given to women
in England is purely intellectual, and
when girl has passed the standard she
at once goes into the ranks of the I'M
skilled. If she can give time she may
be apprenticed and learn a trade, but
the number of girls who can afford to do
that is getting fewer every day. The
few shillings a girl can earn at once is
too important an addition to the family
income to be rejected, and as the major
ity of them marry while practically
children, neither the necessity of being
apprenticed nor of joining union APP
peals to them. English Illustrated Mag

FARI AND GARDEN.
BARN PLAN.

the Average Farmer Wants.

tt should Come Pretty Near Being What
the Average Farmer Wants.
AS will be seen by the illustration,
this plan will give good light and VEN
tilation and enable us to use the barn
floor for a feed-room, and will bring the
slices convenient to both stables. The
two silo pits are each 20 feet square
with depth of "a feet, and when full
will hold over $4,000 cubic feet of ensi-
lage, or enough to feed forty COWS one
and half cubic feet each day for 800
days. believe it is conceded that it is
best to feed some dry food with ensilage,
and that one cubic foot day is enough
for COW, but even if two feet per day
was fed to each of forty cows these
slices would hold enough for 24O days
feed. do not fully show in the draw
ing the arrangement of doors and
windows, as the farmer who builds will
know pest where he wants them.
should locate the barnyards at the
right, and they can be covered or pro.
tected as desired. If wheat or other
grain is grown on the farm it can be
stored either in the silo rits-one at
least of which would probably not be in
use at that season-or over the horse
stable where there would be a large
space for storage, and the loft above the
COW stable at the end of the barn floor
can be filled with straw.
1t will be seen that this is not base
nent barn. The main barn is 40x60
feet, and each wing is 24X60. A A rep
resents the two silo pits, each 20 feet
square. b b and b b B are the box
stalls for COWS, or three or four calves can
be wintered in each of them. g G are the
COW stables, each with stalls for 20 cows,
and the manure ditch and walk behind
the cows and the wide manger between
them. The feed boxes for grain are
spiked to the partitions between the
cows, and are foot above the floor of
the manger and project half their width
over the manager and half over the stall
floor. d is the barn floor or driveway,
which is also used as feed room. Z is
the horse stable made like the COW
stable with wide manger for both
rows of horses to eat from; it contains
six single stalls, each 5 feet wide in the
clear, and two box stalls each feet

wide from Manager b ack to wall.
