The Successful Advertiser !

Is the man who writes something the
people will read, and reading, believe. In
this age of education and enlightenment,
when men read and think for themselves,
all that stuff about "selling goods cheaper
than your competitors buy them," being
tue "only competent dealers in the line,"
''handling better stuff than anybody
else," &c, is mc'e clap trap. and subjects
the writer and the firm back of it to the
contempt of all right-thinking people. The
man who has something to offer, and then
tells the folks about in plain, business
way, is the man who "gets there" and
getting there, stands.
Lots of people handle Paint. Some
handle one kind, some another, but they
all realize, if they have any business sense
at all, that in order to make that business
permanent success it is absolutely neces-
sary to give the people the very best ma
terial. This we have tried to do, and at
price that puts it in the reach of all.
In this connection we call attention to
the fact that crops are about laid by, time
is plentiful, and little paint not only
freshens and beauties, but improves won
derfully the sanitary condition OF the
premises. If your house is all right may
be the fence needs coas. A little Paint
would keep that old buggy from falling
down, aud the wagon might last year or
two longer by spending seventy.fve cents
or a dollar in Paint on it.
Remember this, the longer you put 1t
off the more it takes and the less good it
does. Remember another thing, it costs
Just as much, and tal-s just as much time,
to have cheap paint put r as it does good
Paint. Always buy the est, even if you
pay more for it.

you ever treed by a snake 2 Well,
you needn't want to be. That's the
funniest feeling I ever had in my life,
and that's why / hate a snake worse
than I hate a mad dog. Itwas several
years before I left Campbell county.
I was crossing an old straw field one
day, and I wasn't looking before me,
when all of sudden I was about to
step on big blacksnakc stretched o1t
in the path. I turned about to get a
rock to kill it, but the snake was
watching me, and his head was raised
about six inches out of the grass.
When I started for the snake it start
ed for me. I thought it was best to
get out of the way, but it was a black
snake, and you know what that means.
I lit out down the path the other way,
and that snake was right behind me.
I saw it was gaining on me, and |
made up my mind to get out OF the
way. | struck persimmon tree and
went up it in jiffy. But that blast
ed creature had it in for me. | thought
I was all right and looked down. The
snake crawled around the bottom Of
the tree once or twice. Then it rest
ed for while and caught it's breath
After while it began to crawl up the
tree. 1t wrapped itself about the
bark and coiled higher and higher.

then I got out on limb and dropped
to the ground [ was so scared that
could scarcely walk, but [ made my
way home and got my gun. Th'
snake was coiled about the tree still
when I got back. Ishot it into atoms
Since that time, gentlemen, the sigh
of snake makes me weak.

half of what .hey cost few years ago,
many of them less than one-half.
Until very recently food and all other
supplies were bought on year 5 credit
at very large profits to the merchant.
With SO much Of the cost of living as
is represented by the cost Of corn and
meat, and the amount represented by
decreased prices of all other family
supplies, the planter should have at
the end of the year an amount of cash
in hand that will enable him to buy a
portion at least Of his store goods for
cash-he thereby improves his credit
with the merchant, who will sell him
any goods he finds 1t necessary to buy
on credit at much lower price than
he charged him when the whole year s
supplies were bought on credit.
Through the improved quality of
fertilizer the planter now gets double
the amount Of plant food for the per-
centage Of his crop that he got twenty
years ago. He can now buy the fer
tilizer for an acre for the same proper
tion Of the crop as he has ever been
able to buy it, hence is getting plant
food at half the cost he got it twenty
years ago. he BOW buys his store
goods at one half the price he paid a
few years ago. He now need pay out
nothing for corn and meat for his
family or his hands, consequently will
pay out less for wages than ever
before, So that at the end Of the
year larger percentage than ever be-
fore of the proceeds of his crop will
be left as cash in hand. A careful
study Of tho situation leads to the
opinion thai the planter is as we'll
even better able, to buy fertilizers
than ever before, provided, Of course
that he raises his corn and meat
Also, that il present low prices hole
the competition Of foreign cottor
growers may decrease and disappear
While the planter may not formulate
the above facts in the same way the.
are presented here, he is conversan
with most of them and is laying ou
his business for the year, and vii
| plant as much cotton as he can, an'
use fertilizer upon it, after havin
arranged to raise his years supply o

history OF cotton growing when Ter
tilizer could be used at better per-
centage of profit to the planter than
now. Upon the ordinary impoverish-
ed soil 100 pounds of cotton is fair
average yield. This means starvation
to the planter, hence for years the
planter has felt it prime necessity to
pay for his supply Of fertilizer, as
without that he could not farm. With
200 pounds of fertilizer per acre 250
pounds of lint is fair average crop.
This shows a net gain of 100 pounds
Of lint per acre from fertilizer costing
so pounds of cotton or 200 per cent.
Without fertilizer the planter will
make nothing over cost Of cultivation,
or would show a positive loss. Using
fertilizer it returns its cost in cotton,
also profit Of double it's cost. Of
course the price at which the cotton
is sold makes a great difference TO the
planter, but his percentage of profit
remains the same. If cotton is at 4
cents pound, but 81 profit per acre
is made by the use of fertilizer, but
this is net profit. Enough cotton
having been raised to pay for the fer
tilizer leaves the price of the 100
pounds as a clear profit from the use
of fertilizer, which is 200 per cent
on its cost.
"There are dominating advantages
in favor of the planter in the present
situation that should be considered.
They need pay out nothing for corn
and meat ell groceries, clothing,
tools, etc., cost not more than one

CAMP ROAOHE.

The Farmers Camp of Instruction and
Summer School of Economics and Hus-
bandry which is to be formally opened on
Saturday at Camp Roache, near Wright's,
on the Santa Cruz Mountains, promises to
be one of the notable enterprises of the
year. Important in itself it is still more
so when considered as the inauguration of
a scheme of instruction that may grow to
be one of the greatest annual undertake
ings to which the wide extended order of
the Grange directs it's energies.
The objects of the movement are well de-
fined in the title which has been adopted.
The camp will afford an opportunity to all
interested in the cultivation of the soil and
in rural life to take up mere thoroughly
than is possible in farmers institutes the
study of subjects connected with rural in
dustries, and also a serious and systematic
study of such phases of the broad science
of economies as affect the politics of the
country and the conditions of the farming
population This scheme of instruction is
wide, but none too wide for the needs OF
the time or the intelligence of the men
who are likely to gather at the camp.
While the camp is to he opened on
Saturday with an address by the Hon. A.
P Roache, worthy master of the State
Grange, the lectures of the course of in
struction will not begin until the following
Monday They are to be broadly divided
into the two departments of agriculture
and economics, the college of agriculture
of the University of California having
charge of the first department and the
faculty of economics at Stanford's having
charge of the other. Lectures in both
courses will be delivered every day except
Saturdays, for two weeks, and at the close
of the session at Camp Roache there is to
be a three days. picnic and camp-meeting
at Capitola.
1t will be conceded that the programme
is attractive, and there can be no doubt it
will be successfully carried out. Thus
there viii be fairly instituted another
educational force in the State, likely to in
crease with the years and become one of
the great factors in the advancemento of the
material and intellectual welfare of the
people. 1t will not be the farming popula-
zion only that will profit by the work ac-
complished, though, of course, that class
will derive the more direct benefits. The
whole State will be the gamer in the long
run, and every intelligent citizen may we'll
take an interest and feel concerned in the
enterprise which is to be launched ana
located amid the beautiful scenery and
healthful surroundings of Camp Roache.

FRESNO FRUIT-GROWERs.

An instructive illustration of the inter-
dependence of CALIFORNIA; industries has
been developed at Fresno, and, although it
is only one instance, it is so eloquent and
unexpected as to require careful study of
all its possible bearings. Upon an under
standing OF it's value may depend an
important element of the States prosper
ity.
D. T. Fowler, who served as chairman of
the mass-meeting of fruit-growers held at
Fresno on Saturday in the interest of the
California Fruit Growers and Shippers
Association declared that the future of the
raisin industry is dependent in great de-
gree upon the success of orchardists in
marketing their green fruits, for the reason
that in case an unsuccessful marketing re-
quires growers to dry their products these
articles come into competition with raj
sins, and so both orchardists and vineyard
lists must suffer.
This is an exceedingly interesting and
altogether rational statement, and no
doubt Mr.. Fowler has based it upon facts.
1t has ali the more value in view of the
fact that although in the beginning of the
raisin industry in Fresno County the profits
were excessive, in the last few years they
have fallen to point which entails an ac-
tual loss. This has caused a number of
raisin-growers to dig up their vines and
put their lands into other fruits. Here is
one of the most deplorable things that has
ever happened in this State. The vine, for
whatever purpose planted, stands for one
of the Oldest and finest industries asso-
ciated with the history of mankind. I'm
like ordinary fruits, which. as rule, have
but few years of life, the vine is plan
tation made not only for the present gen.
Grafton but for generations to come, out
living governments, dynasties and even
races of men. The areas in which its finer
varieties can be cultivated are so restricted
that it must forever be essentially mo-
nopoly and must remain a precious posses
sion so long as the human family endures.
There is something lamentably wrong in
the necessity for digging from the soil of
California rare vines, which cannot be
grown on any other spot of this great coun-
try. We may be certain that i. is not the
fault of the vine itself. Only within the
last year have CaIifornians learned that
the whole problem OF profitable pursuit
of the industries which distinguish our
State can be solved by placing the 20, 000, 600
consumers of this country in communica-
ton with our small band Of producers, and
a more recent experience has surprised US
with the discovery that Great Britain
stands eager to buy our products at profit
to our growers. If we can open market
5000 miles away, we hold the world in our
hands.
The time will undoubtedly come when
the raisin-growers of Fresno will regret the
digging up of their vines. Meanwhile, Mr..

TOWARD CHURCH UNITY
Bishop John McKim Favors
Corporate Union With the
Greek Church.
The Rules of the Episcopal Missions
In Japan on That Empires
Progress.

The Right Reverend John McKim,
Bishop of Toxic, preached missionary
sermon at the Church of the Advent yes
terday morning, taking as his subject,
Japan and Its Progress"
The Bishop is the official head Of the
missions of the Protestant Episcopal
church of the United States of America in
Japan, and his visit to this continent at
this time is for the purpose of attending
the triennial conference of that church.
which will be held in Minneapolis during
the first week in October. Each confer
ence appoints committee, whose duty it
is to report on the relations of that church
with foreign churches. There is growing
feeling in favor OF uniting so far as is pos
sible the various sects of Christendom, and,
speaking in that connection after the ser.
vice yesterday, the Bishop said:
Many OF our people and many of those
in the Oriental church--particularIy in the
Russo-Greek church-favor union of the
two bodies. The greatest scandals which
affect Christianity to-day, and the greatest
hindrances we have to contend with in
effective missionary work, are the great
number of divisions which there are in the
Christian church, and particularly among
what are termed the Protestant churches.
For that reason many of US desire unity
and unity with the Oriental church, be-
cause its tenets are nearer ours than those
of any other ecclesiastical body.
There has been, however, no corporate
movement locking toward unity. In our
work there has been the utmost cordiality
existing between the officials of the Greek
church and those of our own. Bishop
Nicolas of the Russian church here and our
Bishop Nichols have often exchanged pull
pit courtesies. Bishop NicoIai, the Rus
sian Bishop in Japan. and myself are on
the most friendly terms. Bishop Nicolai,
in fact, gave me long letter of introduce
ton to the Russian Bishop here urging
him to go with me to the conference, and
urged corporate movement looking to-
ward final unity. Unfortunately, how
ever, Bishop Nicolas is absent from the
City"
Bishop McKim is staying in San Mateo,
where he has brother-ln-law. He comes
to this City only to fulfill his ecclesiastical
duties.
