That disagreeabie Joke about 81. Nwith-
ms day has had "a great run in the
newspapers this year. ST. Swithin'> day
is June -. and the old rhyme says:
II. >within'- day, if then do-t rain
For forty days 1t will remain.
-. swithin's day, il then be fair,
For forty days shall rain ma nair.
The rhyme was constructed to suit the
climate of England, where we are taught
to believe that month of rainy days in
midsummer makes no very great differ
ence. 1t has no true application to any
part of the climate of the United States.
This year it has been logged into use to
account for the miserable and persistent
sloppiness of the latter part of July. To
have it rain day after day, hopelessly
and gloomlly, as though the plug were
out of the celestial reservoir. is bad
enough in town, where it gives people
low spirits. But in the country, dear,
dear what calamity To be farmer,
and to have wheatfleld where the grain
stands cut and in sheaves under leaden
skies, which drizzle on it for the better
part of a fortnight, is desperate mis-
chance.-Harper's Weekly.

Here and There.

From it's adaptability to so many soils,
Its value as conserver Of fertility, its
permanence when once established, its
heavy yields and its richness as a fodder
the New York station is confident that
alfalfa is well worth trial where the
climate is not too severe.
At the New Jersey station the expert
ments last year with both Irish and
sweet potatoes suggest a combination Of
sulphur and kainit, about 300 pounds of
each placed in the open row, as a sub
stantial remedy for both the scab and
soil rot.
There is no part of the country better
suited to growing crimson clover than
the peninsula embracing Delaware and
the eastern shore of Maryland.
If cut early before the bulk of the
oxeye daisies are in bloom, grass and
daisies make hay that is closely eaten
by stock, but if the daisies are matured
cattle will refuse much of the hay.

A Wisconsin stock grower, writing to
the Iowa Homestead, says;
We believe, if you could educate the
breeders and feeders how to feed and
take care Of their hogs, there would be
very little hog cholera in the country.
We believe hog cholera can be prevent
ed. We have raised hogs for 80 years
and have had cholera but once during
that time. There is too much corn fed
to pigs. a variety of feed should be fed
Young pigs should get very little corn
until they are months old. If they
are fed for health and growth the first
six months of their lives with proper
care, the chances are they never will
have cholera Afterward they should
have the run of a good grass pasture
and all the salt and ashes they will eat
plenty of mill feed, good water, and
above all a good place TO sleep in. Their
pens should be cleaned out every day,
and their bedding twice a week. If
farmers would grow more root crops
and less corn and feed their hogs a good
supply during the winter, there would
be less cholera i'll the country.

MlLLET FOR HAY AND SEED.
Directions For Curing How to Handle
the Seed Crop.

Directions For Curing How to Handle
the Seed Crop.
"What is the best and cheapest way
to cure Hungarian grass and common
millet for hay? How should the seed
crop be handled" The foregoing was
recently answered in Rural New York
er. From Storr's Agricultural college
came the following:
Millet, when grown for hay, should
be cured as quickly as possible. Owing
to the coarseness of the stems, the hay
will keep well if not dried till the stems
are brittle There is general tendency
among farmers to dry all hay too much.
One days thorough drying, followed
by few hours airing the second day,
is sufficient for nearly all hay except
clover If millet is to be grown for
seed, it should be mown when the seeds
are beginning to harden, and after one
days drying should be cured in the
heap for two or three days. After stor
ing on loft or scaffOld for one month
or more the seed will thrash easily and
can be preserved the same as rye or any
other grain.
A New York farmer writing from
Chautauqua county said: Hungarian and
millet, when intended for hay, should
be handled very much the same as clio
yer, as they do not cure SO quickly as
timothy They should be cut with
moving machine just as they are COM
ing into bloom, in the afternoon, late
enough so they will not cure much the
same day The next day rake with a
steel toothed rake into windows; then
cock up nicely not making the cocks
too large, and cure in the shade. The
hay should only be nicely wilted in the
sun and cured in the cock. No matter
how favorable the weather, one should
not attempt to cure with sun and air
alone if the best quality is desired.
There is no kind of hay injured so little
if caught out in a rain Any observing
farmer very well knows how greedily
stock will eat hay that has been cured
in the cock, while the same hay, if ex-
posed to the burning sun and hot wind
until it is overdried, is not much more
relished by stock than good, bright
straw.
If intended for seed, the millets may
be left to stand until ripened, when
they may be cut with a binder, bound
into small bundles and set up like other
grain until cured sufficient to keep in
the NOW without heating, or they may
be cut with "a drop reaper and either
bound by hand or taken up loose with
a barley fork and put into the NOW
the same as hay. The latter method
does not require as much time to cure
as when the millet is bound into bun
dies.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

How Merchant Made Advertising Pay
In Town of One Thousand People.
One of the most striking instances to
show that advertising pays, even in
small towns, may be found in the de.
partment store of y. II. Sammet, of
Quincy, Ohio Quincy is a small town
of less than 1000 inhabitants, and one
would hardly expect to find any one
who even thought Of advertising in so
small place, for unfortunately for
them, the small town storekeepers, as a
rule, are in ignorance of the benefits of
advertising.
Mr. Sammet has been in Quincy about
a year and has turned the town COM
pletely upside down by his method of
conducting business. He is great
believer in printers ink and uses it
lavishly. When asked for his plan of
conducting an advertising campaign,
Mr.. Sammett said:
I'VE opened our store for business
September 3, 1896, with three clerks.
Before opening we made contracts with
both local papers for one column one
year and advertised our opening day for
one month in advance, changing our
copy every week. Before the opening
| drove to twenty-seven towns and got
the names of every one who received
mail-a total of 5000 families,
The first twenty days our sales av-
eraged about so a day. on October
we mailed 1900 circulars to the names |
had secured in the surrounding towns,
and in a short time our trade had in
creased to 5000 a day. We added four
more statesmen so we could handle the
people. We continued to mail circulars
every sixty days and business kept up
right along"
(Which is the better method to reach
the people, Mr.. Sammet, newspapers or
circulars"
Both should be USED. he responded
promptly. IL send the circulars regu-
larly to my list of names, and they have
begun to expect them and are anxious
to know what bargains we have to offer. sc
"What are you doing in newspaper ad
vertsng:"
ION May l of this year we contracted
with ten of the leading papers in radius
of twenty-five miles for three columns
of space in each, the ads to be changed
every week
"Our three. column ad came out May
:. and on Monday. May TO- our sales
were 5000 cash, and our daily average
since has been about $500. The mer-
chants here say we can't last long-we
sell goods too cheap aud reckless. But
we are willing to take risk" and Mr..
Sammet smiled amiably.
"lIow far do your customers come"
"Our trade extends oyer four counties.
We had a customer drive thirty.five miles
to-day. lie bought of Mr.. +. l.. Dunn.
who has charge of the dress goods and
silks and sell, all over the store. This
mans bill in general merchandise
amounted to Sl33 %. We often sell bills
to farmers amounting from $50 to SO.
The country folks are Just as eager for
bargains as their city cousins. and they
grasp the opportunity presented by us"
Mr.. Sammet is making him self felt by the
merchants in the neghboring towns, and
while they predict all sorts of calamities.
he goes serenely along, selling the goods
and making new friends among the peo'
pie every day. He has appropriated
$4,000 for advertising this year and vii
use more if he thinks necessary.
