II IS easy to see why the doctrine
should be promulgated and followed
that advertising Is the soul OF h,lSl-
ness; that the man who cannot use ad-
vertislng in his business has no right
to be in business; that, aS Macaulay
once said. advertising Is to business
what steam IS to machinery, the grand
propelling power. The story Is told OF
man who once came to merchant
to buy remnant OF cloth louy ont OF

be able to satisfy the new customer
and asked, How do you happen to

N. c. Nash, Pioneer Newspaper
Man, Dies at His Home
i'm Canton.

Canton dispatch. s. Colonel N. c..

columns of the News.
N. c. Nash was for many years one

A Few Things to Think About
and Discuss at Lake County
Institute.

Make preparations to attend the
farmers institute If you are one oi
those who think you know all about
farming come and see if you are think
ing right This is a world of progress.
You will be asking yourself several
questions during the next few months
something like the following:
Do you know how to feed your brood
SOW, SO as not to make lard barrel out
of her, and still give her a liberal ra'
tion; a iatlon that will make her large,
strong and active, that she may farIow
litter of pigs every one able TO be-
come a show hog
Is corn a paying CROP Can you get
40 cents per bushel fed to hogs sold at
cents? Will it pay to buy steers and
bay corn to feed them?
Should we plow in fall or spring.
Should we plow deep or shallow
Shall we cultivate much or little2
Why and hcw does cultivation make
crops grow? When should it be done
and what depth?
What class of horses shall we raise
Have your cattle got scabY
Have you an abundance of fruit on
your farm and can your wife put uI
the surplus for winter use?
These and hundred other question:
the farmer must be ready to answer
during the coming season. The ordi
nary farmer is able to answer major
ity but to 6e successful his success de
pends upon the number he is capable oi
answering as put to him under climate,
market and possible conditions, during
the season. If you are able to answer
these questions let your light shine.

Brookings is a territory comprising
parts Of BrookIngs, lake and Moody
counties which is in about the same con-
dition as regar Is railroad facilities as
was Cotton before the building OF the
South Dakota Central This territory
comprises some of the best farm land In
the state and some of the most progress
siye farmers and they are always look
ing out for the main chance to improve
their market facilities.
Recently these farmers held very
enthusiastic meeting and selected del
egation to come to Sioux Falls and wait
on President Sherman, of the South
Dakota Central, with view TO induc-
ing him to extend his line through their
territory, thus giving them closer
market. 1t is understood that the farm
ers are willing to go down into their
pockets for a substantial bonus if they
can secure the extension of the Cotton
line.
If the line extends into the above
territory it VIII pass Madison to the
east and probably cross the Milwaukee
at or near Wentworth. If the Madison
people are not forehanded with the
proper inducements for the extension to
come their way, there is a good field
for the road in the direction indicated.
The farmers have selected their com
mittee and are willing to back up their
proposals with assistance in the matter
of right of way.

The grape furnishes also important

produced from the pomace, also acetic

pomace and fed to stock the same as
grain. Ground up, they are used as a
substitute for coffee A high grade oil
similar to olive oil is also produced
from the seeds, which, among other
thiogs, make superior soap. They also
yield tannin.

to estimate that the farmers of the

find themselves to the good by not less
than $300,000,000, and possibly $780,

inexpensive, reliable power Or the
farm and around the home is becom
ing more and more desirable these
days when unskilled labor is so high
and hard to procure. Gasoline engines,
which when started practically take
care Of themselves, are rapidly sup
planting steam engines and horse pow
er, the operation of which requires con-
slant attention. The difference in the
cost of operating and the advantage of
starting at a moments notice has ad-
vanced the popularity of gasoline en-
gines where comparatively small power
is required in contrast with other
power devices.
A few years ago we heard but little
about gasoline engines for use on the
farms, while to-day we find many of
them on up-to-date farms and small
business plants. This growing inter
est has been brought about largely
through the Improvements that have
