RAILROAD ADVERTISING.

"The advertising campaign carried on

AN AWAKENING.
Experienced By Many local Merchants

The ad-man is happy to notice that
some OF the merchants who carry a
good stock in their respective lines are
more and more beginning to realize that
successful advertising must be backed
up by good windows and telling show
cards. Since F. r. Collins came to this
city short time ago, a number of firms
have become his clients for attractive
window display cards and ideas.
1t is not surprising that B. F. Allen
& Son, the local wall paper dealers, are
interested in his work Dan Allen knows
a good thing when he sees it and prom.
pity took advantage Of this new factor
in advertisinR So did Peterson and
Brown, the shOemen, who have always
succeeded TO do well with their win
dOws. Their East window has exper-
fenced the touch of Mr.. Collins artis-
tN manu- ivI lHt H-L LliIle LnlS week.
Their ad in today's paper corresponds
with the goods in the window referred
to. Both B. +. Allen & Son and Peter.
son & Brown show good judgement.
Herman Wise, the clothier, is also
reported TO have closed an agreement
with +. R. Collins Wise, as usual, is
onto a good thing and is wise enough
to see it well enough to spend little
money on it. Mr.. Allen, Jr, who is in
the tailoring business, has also arranged
for the Collins service--push it along
gentlemen. It's a good thing. Some firms
have a man especially for their window
dressing and showcard writing Here p.
A. Stokes and S. Danziger & Co do that
Others can certainly afford to hire Mr.
Collins for the good they get out OF
his work.

enthusiastic worker in the cause, he be-
ing secretary of the Pacific Coast Ad'

to his efforts that so many representa-

there were men from California, Oregon

ever assembled in the reception rooms

enthusiastically applauded by the mer'

If properly established the first season. either kind is profitable, provided 1t Is given fair treatment.
 Fifth-Take the trouble to inoculate land that has never grown alfalfa. though it may not be necessary. Bet
 ter bear some expense In this case
 than take chances
 Sixth-There Is no fixed depth at
 which to cover the seed. It Is a good general rule to cover the same as for turnip seed planted on similar soils. The land should be in perfect seed-bed condition if possible. Extra harrow ings pay.
 Seventh--Plant twenty pounds of seed to the acre. If all conditions are just right, one-half of this, will give full stand. but 1t does not pay to take chances in this case.
 >Eighth-It is better that all land should have been winter plowed deep and lightly rebroke just before seed ling. If this has not been looked after break now only moderately deep. har- row twice or let rain fall before planting the seed. This settles the land and the young plants take hold
 of the dirt much better. Ninth--No oats or other small grain
 crops should be planted with alfalfa
 seed in this latitude. Such crops are
 a great source of danger to the young alfalfa when the grain Is cut in late spring because the land Is drained of
 moisture by the grain crop and the
 shaded alfalfa Is suddenly exposed to hot sun, in many cases, and dies. Plant alfalfa with alfalfa.-Farm and Ranch,

Favorable to Longevity.
Equitable Record.


 Most writers, ancient and modern. agree on the following circumstances
 as favorable to longevity: 1. TO be born of healthy, long-lived parents. 9 To live in the temperate zones. 8. TO live in the country and much In the open air. f. To be accustomed to daily labor. 5. To be temperate in eating and drinking. To which may be added these ten
 commandments of hygiene from a
 French medical review: l. Rise early. retire early. fill your day with work. g. Water and bread maintain life. pure air and sunshine are necessary to life. 3. Cleanliness prevents rust; the best cared-for machine lasts the longest. 4. Practice frugality and soberiety. 5. Enough sleep repairs waste and strengthens; too much softens and en- feebles. 6. To be sensibly dressed, with free-
 dem of movement and sufficient
 warmth. '. A clean and cheerful house makes a happy home. B. The mind is refreshed and invigor-
 ated by distractions and amusements,
 but abuse of them leads to dissipa-
 ton. and dissipation to vice. g. Cheerfulness makes love of life. and love of life is half of health. Sad ness and Encouragement hasten ohi age. To- Do you gain your living by your intellect? Then do not allow your arms
 and legs to grow stiff. Do you earn

nrices- In either event the man with reduced acreage is safe. If his neigh bors insist on growing all the cotton they can plant, let them do so and reap their reward in low pxices and have
 nothing else to sell or live on. If thousands of these neisnOors nave tae good judgment to reduce acreage cotton prices will be good and other crops grown are good assets.
 Two million bales carried over for spinning next fall means that there is no risk incurred in reducing cotton acreage this season by any individual Thirty bales will cost less than forty and will probably yield more clear profit this year. On the other hand, the man with full acreage in cotton is carrying a double risk. First, the cost 1 of production Is great; second, the price | of cotton will probably be low. The farmer with his small cotton acreage will profit by a general reduction of the
 acreage as urged by all farm organi- ga tions, because the price will be im- proved. He profits by his small acre. age in case the acreage should not be generally reduced, because the less cot | ton he has the better of he is. There seems no excuse for the farmer going lit blind" this season In cotton plant ling.-Farm and Ranch. ( | Planting Alfalfa.
 The spring season for planting al- | lfalfa Is now beginning. This valuable
 crop can be grown by those who will
 study their soils and the habits of the
 plant. Some of the difficulties met with | in planting during the spring are here
 mentioned for the protection of those who may sow these delicate seeds this spring for the first time.
 l First-Late planting Is dangerous
 because the sun of May often kills the young plants before the roots reach a depth of twelve inches On the other
 hand, frosts may kill the young crop If
 planted too early. Therefore, plant as
 soon as danger from frost is safely ipast. Select land that Is not foul with
 weeds or grass.
 | Secondhand rich enough to give
 young plants a strong start during the first sixty days is best-especially for lsprng planting. Ordinarily the land
 should be rich enough to grow thirty
 bushels of corn per acre during fair
 sea sons Manure can be used success
 makes a good top dressing in such
 cases. Apply about 200 pounds per lacre.
 Third-The surface soil should be
 some ten or twelve inches deep Land
 with its sub-soil very near the surface
 is likely to prove drouthy. If well
 plowed the fall before. thin land may
 grow alfalfa well If rains are favor able.
 Fourth--In very dry regions the Tur- kestan alfalfa is generally preferred
 by planters, but this does not yet seem
 to be based on thorough investigation

 Respectfully,
 R. I. Smith,
 Assistant State Entomologist of Geor-
 gia in Southern Cultivator. Growing Stock Cattle in the South.
 FrOIeSSOr DuESdT OI tnS AldUdHift Experiment Station at Auburn has demonstrated the feasibility of making 8 a considerable profit on the growing of cattle for meat under southern condi- tions. Three calves were grown on sucn foods as the South affords, in- cluding pasture, up to the age of 25 months They were then sold at cents per pound. live weight. The first of these. an Aberdeen Angus grade at the age mentioned, was worth SITS more than he cost. The second steer Red-Poll grade, was worth S5.46 more than he cost and a Holstein short-horn grade was worth S9.52 in excess of the cost of producing him.
 In the face of such demonstrations it is absolutely clear that beef making ought to be made to pay handsome return in the South. These animals were not grown nearly so rapidly as they are sometimes grown in the North as the weights at the time of selling were $50 pounds, S4S pounds and S65 pounds, respectively. If such steers were fattened they should bring five cents rather than cents per pound and the process of fattening them would in consequence be made profit able without including the value of the manure made. It has often how. ever been surprise to us why farm CTS. living in areas where large sums are paid out from year to year for artificial fertilizers do not give more attention to securing fertilizers through the growing and the fattening of live stock.-The Farmer (Minne- sota).
