An English trade journal once re-
quested a number of its largest
advertisers to give their opiuion con-
corning the best time to stop advertis-
ing, and the following replies were
received:
"When population ceases to multi
ply and the generations that crowd
on after you, and never heard of you,
stop coming on"
"When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower
prices than they can ever get any
where else"
"When You perceive it to be the
rule that men who never advertise
are outstripping their neighbors in
the SAME line of business"
"When men stop making right In
your very sight solely through the
discreet use of this mighty agent"
"When you a forget the words OF
the shrewdest and most successful
business men concerning the main
cause of their prosperity"
when every man has become SC
thoroughly a creature of habit that
he will certainly buy this year whert
he bought last year.
when younger and fresher houses
in your line cease starting up and
using the newspapers IN telling the
people how much better they can dc
for them than you cam
"When you would rather have youl
own way and fail, than take advice
and win"
"When nobody else thinks 1t pay;
to ADVERTISE"

An Odd Number:

A very curious number is 1857,
which. multiplied by l, 2, s, 4. 5, or 6,
gives the same figures i'm the same
order, beginning at adiferent point,
but if multiplied by eve gives all
mines. Multiplied by one, it equals
142,s57, multiplied by two equals
2s5,714. multiplied by three 42s,57l,
multiplied by four equals 1925,
multiplied by five equals 714,2s5,
multiplied by six equals ISL, 142, null
tiplied by seven equals 999,99s. Mul.
tiply 14z,ss7 by eight and you have
1,142,s56. Then add the first figure
to the last and you have 142,s57; the
original number, the figures exactly
the same as at the start:

iateresting Figures Compiied by the
Census Bureau.

According to the census Missouri
has upon her farms 946,191 horses
There are only three States which
hare more4IHino.s, iowa and Texas.
The foals of the past year in Missouri
vert 113,914 horses, 34,553 mules and
GAG asses. Missouri has on her farms
245,l02 mules and GAL asses, taking
precedence in numbers or these
animals not only of any other State,
but the world. Missouri has one
sixth of all the jacks that are in the
country. The percentage Of increase
in horses IN Missouri, from 1880 to
1890, is 44.59, and that of mules a6.66.
The difference in tho increase shows
that the horse is taking precedence of
the mule as a farm animal.

Fish Culture in Vermont.

The average Vermonter generally
has an eye to the main chance. lie Is
never loath to venture into ways though
unexplored, that give promise of mon
ev. Vermont has gained wide repu-
ta;ion for its sheep and horses. 1t has
some of the finest herds Of cattle in the
country. 1t stakes the cake" for ma
ple sugar. and plenty of maple sugar on
cake. 1t now proposes TO turn to a
new industry, that of raising fish. We
see no reason why it may not succeed
in this branch of agriculture as well as
n other branches. Are not the banks
of Vermont as good to pasture salt cod
as the Banks of Newfoundland? If we
understand correctly the people OF Yer
mont do not intend to go into this fish
business bv halves. They propose to
establish a hatchery and introduce
bIooded stock, and when the scheme
has reached a proper stage of develop
ment the suggestion made by distin-
gn;shed son of Vermont at recent
n,,hlic dinner. viii doubtless be adopt
Cd. that of securing cross between
ssb and a hen that the fecundlty OF the
latter may be indefinitely increased.
W. have excellent facilities in this
state for the cultivation of fish. They
