In very old towns we hear of very
old business stands; and they are
good. Everybody ought TO like
them. But the case OF an old busl-
ness that continues to be good with
out the help OF Il wise and straight
forward publicity, is almost, if not
wholly, unknown. The very factthat
a business is advertised causes many
people to patroniZc il. They rea-
son that "a merchant who has not
embraced the advantages Of this
latest Of modern business methods
is liable to be behind the times in
his stock and in his methods. II
follows, too, that the clean, crisp,
direct advertisement that bears all
Of the marks of honesty is the best
one. The very appearance of it
often helps it.

Feminine Dniry Wisdom.

Sailing regularly is one very important
matter in the dairy.
When cows have not received an abun-
dance OF salt and then a change to regular
sailing Is practiced, great change. both
in quality and quantity OF milk can Us

where each COW can help herself whenever
she desires.
The best COWS are always the heavy
fcederp.
II tney eat hearth. and are healthy and
do not lay on fat, you may be sure that 1t
going somewhere. and you will always find
it in the milk pail
Breeding and natural capacity are power
less to contribute TO successful stockraislns
unless accompanied by thOughuulness, in
tellgence and regular fare.
Merit is not proof against neglect, starya-
ton and abuse. Give COW Just enough
to Keep her alive and how can che MI the
milk pail?
Too many unobserving men expect this.
and they wonder why they are poor.
How many farmers are preparing to idle
away the winter? Is there any excuse for
such practices. and Is there any other
business that will permit It?
Winter butter production is more profit
able than summer. then why not be win
ter producer?
Every degree you raise the tempera-
ture OF the stable UP TO comfort point saves
food and is one step in the right direction
for prosperity.
Don't lie. the heifers form .he habit OF
drying up early. With plenty OF food and
good care they will milk nearly the year
round.
Be sure that lnseed meal forms a part
OF the grain ration now.
Don't neglect lhe daily brushing and
cleaning OF every COW. There is nothing
hike pure. simple. old fashioned cleanli-
ness.
Get special customers for your butter
and furnish II every week IL Ia worth a
few cents per pound 10 the customers n
know that they are eating pure. clean
butter and not oleo or some other manu-
featured stun. and there is big differ
enee between cash and trading out butter,
