CATCHY ADVERTISING.
suggestions for Farmers and Breed
ers Who Have Learned to Value
Publicity.

Farmers and breeders are rapidly be-
coming advertisers on the same scale
as merchants and manufacturers. They
are learning that where they have sur
plus products to throw upon the mar
ket the best way to get the right GUS
toner is through the use Of advertising
space in reputable papers that circulate
among the people they wish to reach.
In fact, the farmer and stock raiser is
as much of a manufacturer as the
builder OF self-binders and as much of
merchant as the storeleeper who
sells him his clothes. The same ele-
ments of success enter into agriculture
as In commerce, although possibly in
varying degrees. and one of these ele-
ments is advertising.
The farmer and breeder, however. are
still new at advertising. They have vet
to learl by experience that the best adj
vertising is that which produces the best
results, and that results are gagged.
first, by the circulation of the pa
per, and, se>ond, by the attractive
character of til advertisement. The
farmer who is placing advertising should
insist on knowing what he Is paying
for-how many copies of his advertis-
ment are to be distributed. He should.
furthermore, follow the example of the
merchant In the makeup of his an
nouncement. He should have some
thing to sell, and tell what it is In un-
mistakable language He should picture
how his advertisement will look In
print, SO as to make 1t attractive in
every way, and write the copy just as
he wants 1t printed. The publishers
are always eager to help their patrons
make their announcements attractive
and effective, both for the sake of the
advertiser and for the improvement of
the paper. Farmers who are adver-
dsers will do we'll to remember

Buying hay is the problem these days
and those who are hauling now are
having all kinds of experiences. A
stack on the David Butler place sold
recently for $40 and will probably net
the buyer about eight or ten tons.
New arrivals have already begun to

DAIRY CATTLE

The worlds fair committee Of the
Holstein-F riesian Association of Amer
lea is sending out an address to breed
ers and exhibitors of Holstein-F riesian
cattle relative to an especial effort to-
ward an exceptional display of that
breed at st. Louis next September.
The committee is composed Of six prom
inent breeders, with w. ]. Gillett Of
Rosendale, Wis, as chairman.
The address makes the following ref
erence to the worlds fair prizes Of
fered by the Holstein- Friesian -associa-
ton:
"Public esteem and the merits of the
Holstein-F riesian breed demand that a
most creditable show Of our cattle be
present at this great exposition. Real
iZing the Importance Of a representative
exhibit of Holstein-F riesians at st. LOU
is, the Holstein- Friesian Association of
America has offered special prizes for
exhibits Of its cattle, which, together
with the regular prizes offered by the
exposition. make sum to be competed
for in amount never before offered at
any live stock show. 1t will be seen
from the arrangement of prizes offered
that the large and the small breeder
have an equal chance of winning some
thing and that It would be hardly pos
sible for any herd of ordinary merit to
show at st. Louis and win nothing.
Great things are expected Of US, and
the Holstein-F riesian association ap-
peals to its breeders with an urgent re-
quest that the display Of our cattle
shall far surpass any previous exhibit
ton"

William Krohn is something of a
good fiddle player. especially when you
take his size into consideration.
What is the matter with Otto Carson
as the champion step dancer of this
locality: He certainly is all right.
James Kltchin has done the best of
anyone that we know of this winter in
shooting rabbits and is the crack shot
of the neighborhood.
Its none of our business but We
would throw out the hint that it isn't
always those who do the most blowing
who put up the best fight.
We saw H. Bartle the other day. He
has been keeping pretty much to home
all winter and we are glad to be able to
note that he is still alive.
Mr.. Whitman was seen passing
through here one day last week going
to Rosehill to haul home some hay
which he had bought from John Wall.
J. Penner has good reason to feel
proud of the new we'll that ne has put

stock to go short of water from now on.

conviction that we shall have a good

The bowling alley operated by Will

along with his shooting gallery will
prove quite an attraction. Both are
models of artistic arrangement and pro-
mise to be popular with the people of
Wales and vicinity.
The election Tuesday passed off
without causing any great amount of
excitement and the changes in the Of
ticers of the township are few if any
from last year. However. we do notice
that Joseph Sehenltries is successor to
A. E. Montgomery as peace officer and
now wears the star. The vancancy was
caused by the resignation Of Mont
gomery. The boys will have to look out
now when Joe is in sight.

Fattened For the Vulgar Crowd ana
Deprived of His Fine Flavor.
The oyster in his glory is rich, dark
colored, shapely inhabitant of salt wa
ter. He is plump, but not swelled up,
and has delicious, Incompatible salty
favor which nobody who really knows
him and has the taste to appreciate
him would ever dream of spelling with
crude condiments. But rarely will the
oysterman send such an exquisite crea-
ture to market. 1t is not fat enough or
white enough for the vulgar crowd. So
he puts it in fresh, or nearly fresh, wa
ter to "fatten"-that is, he draws off
the fine natural juices by process Of
osmosis and substitutes therefor a
quantity OF water which distends It
like balloon and makes 1t just as
tasteless. But It looks fat like a
scrawny Christmas turkey judiciously
fed by an air pump. Then it is put
before the American as an oyster, and
the American, who judges his food and
drink largely by labels, pours over 1t
salt, pepper, tabasco, Worcestershire,
horseradish or what not and thinks it
is all right. He might as well have
any sort of sea urchin that was soft
and puffy and wet as a vehicle for the
connections which he used to make
himself believe that an oyster tastes
like something.-New York Tribune.
