Adv ertising for Farmers.

Whlle waiting at a country station | be-
came acquainted with quite an intelligent.
nicely dressed gentlemen who belonged to
that class which, according to the funny
newspaper, is the natural mark for the
confidence man. During our conversation
he learned that | was connected with the
advertising department of the press.
Il believe in advertising" he remark
ed, land practice it, as also do several of
my neighbors.
The possibility of a farmer advertising
had never occurred to me, and upon ex-
pressing curiosity to know in what man.
ner farmers could advertise, he said:
81 live in one of the best counties in
Michigan, where | own and till large
farm. In addition to growing all kinds of
grain | raise both cattle and hogs. | live
within convenient distance of four rail
road stations, each having number of
grain buyers and stock dealers. When |
conclude that am ready to sell my stuff,
| insert local in three or four local
papers published at those villages stating
the amount and quality and, if stock,
when it will be ready to 90. Then, in,
stead of being compelled to go from one
dealer to another in order to receive fair
price, they come to me, and by mail and
personally put price on it, The buyers
know my methods, and also know that
other dealers are after me, and as con-
sequence they bid the highest price they
can afford. always get the best prices
going, and my little outlay in advertising
pays me. Then another thing: If | want
to buy milk COW, what is the use of my
riding all over the country, inquiring from
Tom, Dick and Harry for the desired arti-
Gle, and spending four OF five dollars
worth of valuable time when fifty cents
invested in an advertisement in the local
paper will bring such throng of eager
sellers as to give my premises the appear
ance of county fair ground?'' Printers

SOCIALISM. socialism and Christianity
agree in two respects: They both desire
reorganization of society, and they both
aim at reorganization of society which

second. Christianity does the reverse
