A Delightful Change in the Weather

The humid and uncomfortable tenn
perature which had prevailed for several
DAYS passed away before the sun set yes
terday, and the cooler condition which
set in afforded a great relief to sweltering
humanity. The atmosphere up to four
O'Clock yesterday evening was very OPP
pressive, and the slightest exertion
caused beads of perspiration to stand out
on the body. A dark cloud formed in
the northwest and there was slight
rain. Later cool wind set in which
finally scattered the clouds. The tenn
perature continued to drop and before
midnight the heavens had cleared and
the moon was shedding her beams upon
the pleasant conditions prevailing. The
weather today has been pleasant.

ADVERTISING DEFINED.
An Interesting Lecture by John Lee Mahip
Before Chicago students.

John Lee Mahin, President of the
Mahn Advertising Company, recently
addressed the students of the College
of Commerce end Administration at the
University of Chicago on the subject
of The Commercial Value of Advertls.
ing" Mr.. Mahins lecture was an expo.
sition of the science of commercial
publicity, touching upon the theories
and the technique of advertising.
Mr.. Mahin defined advertising as fol.
lows:
influencing the minds of people.
1t is making others think as you de.
sire. 1t means utilizing all those forces
which produce impressions and crys.
tallize opinions. 1t is the creating of
prestige-that quality which causes
others To accept statement without
question.
The merchant who. through his
idea of what will please the popular
taste makes his calculations. giving
orders TO manufacturers for six months
TO year in advance, requires great
foresight and intimate knowledge of
the fickleness of taste
yet he does not yet possess the posi-.
tive force that advertising. when stud
led and skilfully employed, will give
him i'm his business. lie only deals
with conditions as he finds them.
There is no effort to create conditions
but simply a shrewd adaptation To ex-
isting circumstances.
advertising rests on the suprem-
acy of commerce. Ii requires stable
business conditions for its existence
and development. Ii is. therefore. a
higher form of mental activity than
the successful exercise of ordinary
commercial transactions because II
goes farther. in demanding not only
the power to cope successfully with
commercial problems. but an added
ability to influence the human mind.
Advertising will produce active de
sire where none. or. at least, only that

tising. 10y employing the powerful men

among the people which an alert COM

and foster a business"

FOMla For Free Range.

The best breeds of fowls for free
range are the non-sitters. All non
sitters lay eggs with white shells, and
viii not become broOdy unless made
excessively fat. They are active and
N the summer season, when grass and
insects can be obtained, are nearly
self-supporting. Among the favorites
may be mentioned the Leghorns, which
are divided into the brown. black,
white, buff and Dominique varieties,
differing olly in color, and they are
hardy ana vigorous. They also make
good winter layers If given warm
quarters, and, being small in size,
more OF them can be kept on given
space than of the large breeds.

The Enterprising Cow.

The enterprising cow is the one that
always wishes to be somewhere be-
sides where she is If she is in clover,
she is greatly impressed with the straw
stack just over the fence; she longs
70 burrow in II, 10 climb il. and jump
Off il. and the intervening wires and
rails she usually treats with great
contempt she is nuisance and may
be an expense. as she is likely 10
spread the plague OF discomfort
throughout the whole herd. Fences
should be- stock proof under all cir
cumstanccs, but financial conditions
sometimes prevent our keeping them
In the best order. and in such cases II
Is wise 70 get rid of the enterprising
cow. If IL requires the time OF the
hired man to keep the herd out of the
grain field. her effective lessons will
soon tear tie profits To tatters
1t is economy to have good fences IL
we can possibly build them. On the
Epuumist Experimental farm we had
much trouble at first in this direction.
We had one OF those businesslike cows
that liked TO push her nose through
the broken rails. then lay down the
gap with her horns. SO that the herd
might have a change OF pasture. But
we now have long stretches Of woven
wire fastened To cedar posts. painted

paint.-The Agricultural Epitomist.
