HOME INDUSTRY DAY
ONE METHOD OF STIMULATING
INTEREST
In THE LOCAL MANUFACTURES
Education of the People to sPatronize
Home Products and Better Appre-
ciate the Importance of Their
Residence Place.

During late years numerous days
have been set aside for celebrating
certain events. Years ago Arbor day
was inaugurated. One of the latest
days to be inaugurated is Mothers
day. 1t would seem that it is only
fitting that there should be a Home
Industry day.
Des Moines, Ia, has inaugurated
what is called Factory day. On this
day schools and retail business houses
are closed and the populace go from
factory to factory and view the vari-
Gus processes of manufacturing goods
and learn much of the industry of the
city. In Omaha recently, members Of
the Commercial club have been de-
voting one day in the month to Wis.,
ting manufacturing plants.
These plans are most excellent for
educating the people as to the re-
sources of their communities. A Home
Industry day would no doubt be the
means of better acquainting the peo-
pie of each town with the resources
Of each particular place and would
open up avenues little considered and
terprises. The most good perhaps
would result from the fact that the
people of each community would learn
of the products of their home place
and better realize how great the ad-
vantage would be to utilize those prod
ucts instead of using manufactures
from other places. A Home Industry
day should not be for the business or
the professional people, but should
be day in which all residents. men,
women and children, could participate
and all become acquainted with the
varied resources of the place. The
school children would find visit to
the different factories helpful to them,
give them a practical idea of how diff
ferent articles are made and broaden
their views as to business methods.
Home Industry day can be inau-
gurated in any town by the citizens
making a united effort. In fact, each
state could by legislative enactment
set aside such a day with great bene-
fit to the state and its people, and the
establishment of Home Industry day
might mean the saving of millions of
dollars annually to the state. This day
could be made one of real pleasure,
as well as day of education and uni
versal profit Refreshments could be
served by enterprsing manufacturers,
and other entertainment in the way of
music, etc, could be utilized in ma
king it day long to be remembered.

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.
J. N. Shepherd in Southern Farm
Journal.

Journal
Too heavy loads make balky horse.
Thorough grooming cleanses the
hide as we'll as the hair.
Irregular feeding makes thin horses,
no matter what quantity is given.
A COW in any way worried will not
do her best at milk production.
Good care and keep are as essential
as proper selection and breeding.
With all kinds of stock mixing
breeds promiscuously does not work
we'll.
No animal, however well bred,
should be used for breeding purposes
unless it has individual merit.
By reducing the amount of food we
reduce very little and always in less
ratio the food of support.
In the growing of first-class pork
the degree of cleanliness practiced,
largely governs the quality of the
product.
With all stock intended for market
the profitable line of production is to
maintain good health with early ma
turity.
The value of any kind of farm stock
is very largely determined by it's feed
ing and care the first year of it's life.
The man who cannot advance above
scrub conditions had better let pure
bred animals alone. If he must be a
scrub stock raiser, he had better re-
main a scrub stock breeder.
At no time in the life OF the animal
is the influence of liberal or scant
feeding so great as when the animal
is young.
The cheapest way to produce pork
IL to push the pigs from the start and
have them ready for market at from
seven to ten months old, never older
The pigs to be castrated should be
attended to as soon as large enough
to handle. This will prevent a set.
back in growth and allow them to
be all right before weaving.
Anything less than full feeding at
any period is a sacrifice of net profit.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
THE BIOLOGICAL ORCHESTRA.

IKE turkey piled the drumsticks, while
The puppy took the bones;
The bullfrog played an instrument
That gave the lowest tones.
The elephant could trumpet, and
The fiddler was a crab
The Katy-did a song and dance
Upon a graveyard slab.
The inch-worm counted measures,
while
The woodwind turned the leaves;
The quail, he had to whistle, for
These mocking-bird are thieves.
The yellow-jacket's organ point
Was rather sharp and thin;
The kitten brought an article
To string the violin.
The cow tossed off solo, for
No one could low so we'll;
Her horn was blew and tipped with
brass;
She also rang the bell.
The bee could play upon the comb;
They wished he hadn't come,
For all the music that he knew
Was Hum, Sweet Hum"

IN ADVERTISING A CITY
Up-to-Oate Methods Must Be EN-
poyed to Bring Capital.

In this day Of progress and of ad
vertising, not alone do business firms
realize the Importance of publicity,
but municipalities find it essential to
tell the world Of advantages they
possess for the homeseeker and those
seeking business locations.
few years ago, the city of st.
of 100000 for the purpose of ad-
vertising in the newspapers and maya
zines, by pamphlet and otherwise, the
growing Importance of st. Louis. Den
yer, Col, raised a fund of 100000
which was employed in general adver
Using and the paying of lecturers to
visit various parts Of the country
with stereopticon views showing pic
torially the industries of Colorado.
The business men of Kansas City re-
Gently inaugurated campaign to call
the attention of the world to the great
resources of that town and the triD.
utary country. In Kansas City sign
boards are used freely to tell of the
many things that Kansas City posses
SEES and which are not possessed by
other cities. The visitor to the town
is impressed by the information con-
veyed to him from these sign boards.
Such striking statements as do you
know that beans are cheaper in Kan
sas City than in Boston? They are"
1t is fact Flour is cheaper in Kan
sas City than in Minneapolis Other
sign boards tell by comparison that
taxes per thousand dollars of valua-
ton are lower in Kansas City than in
numerous other cities, and attention
is called to the number of miles OF
fine boulevards in the city.
Another means employed is the use
of full page advertisements in the
daily papers of the leading citizens.
These advertisements are carefully
prepared presenting various maps,
showing the advantage the country
possesses over other cities in differ
ent industrial lines.
1t appears that this plan of adver-
Using can be most successfully fol-
lowed out by the enterprising men Of
any city. In the smaller towns where
there are not great opportunities for
manufacturing, advertising to the peo-
pie showing the benefits to be derived
from patronage of home institutions
could be profitably carried on. There
is no town so small but that it can be
helped by judicious advertising.
Every town wherein a weekly paper
is published there Is means Of Civ
ing publicity to the advantages pos
sessed by the place. The home paper
is one of the most telling and force
full advertisements any town can have.
Every advertisement of a home insti
tuition speaks fer the enterprise Of
the place, and to strangers illustrates
the spirit and enterprise that is pos
sessed by the people. 1t is always
well to bear in mind that seekers for
homes and for business locations never
pick out the dead towns. A small
town where the people are enterpris-
ing often holds forth to the prospec-
tive settler greater opportunities than
do the larger cities.

Clinton. Miss.-Sir Roger, large

sensation.
Roger is black and white. He has
large horns and well-cultivated
bunch of chin whiskers, which wave in
the breeze when he starts to do but

not credited with being at all amiable

Keen the Store Clean.

1t Is a well-known fact that in manu-
featuring concerns clean surroundings
tend to a higher standard Of workman
ship among the employees. If this is
true of a factory which is usually
hidden away from the public gaze,
what must be the moral effect Of
clean surroundings in a retail store
which has to depend upon the public
for its welfare? If neatness in the
tive, elegance must be decidedly allur;
ing That this latter is fact is
proven by the elegant stores of many
twentieth century dealers who have
taken advantage of the popular de-
mand for cheerful surroundings to In
corporate into their places of business
a tone of elegance which would have
been the wonder of tradesmen of 80
years ago, the majority of whom be-
lieved that store should consist Of a
few counters and shelves and stock
of goods. The growing tendency of
the time, especially in the cities, is
one that demands modern methods.
And in adopting these methods it is
but natural that the window should
receive the first share of attention, as
it is a magnet. having power to con-
vert the Indifferent public into inter
ested customers. What holds good in
the cities as to neatness and cleanli-
ness, also holds good in the small
town. The storekeeper whose place
is untidy cannot expect to make a
great success. Country people abhor
dirt and slovenly habits about store
as do the city folk

Sells Rat Tail as Rare Flower.

Warsaw, Ind.-A tramp went to
the home of Arthur A. Saunders, in
the south part of Kosciusko county,
and, in the absence of the head of the
family, sold Mrs. Saunders what he
represented to be rare plant, but
which subsequently developed to be a
rat with it's caudal appendage pro-
truding from the earth in pot in
which it had been placed by the man.
The tail of the rat had been cleverly
attached to stick with thread. Mrs.
Saunders, desiring to place the plant"
in more presentable receptacle, was
about to transplant it when she dis
covered that she had been swindled
to the extent of so cents.

What Women can Do for the Schools.
One of the very best means for inn
proving the school-house and grounds
is to be found in the Woman's Better
inent Association. This is an organi-
zation of patriotic women for the pur-
pose of aiding and improving public
school-houses and grounds. In addi-
ton to the State organization, there
are county organizations and town.
ships and district organizations. Such
an organization can be easily formed
in any school district with the assist
ance of the county superintendent and
the officers of the State and county
organizations, or even without such
assistance. Through the efforts of
few philosophical women in any COM
munity, the women of that community
could be organized into an association
to cooperate with the county and
State organizations for the purpose of
improving their schoolhouse and
grounds. By identifying the interiors
of the school-rooms, painting the
houses, having stumps, brush and I'M
dergTowth removed from the grounds,
planting trees, vines, and flowers, ETC..
wonderful transformations have been
wrought, through the efforts of a few
earnest women in many rural school
houses and grounds during the past
two years.-Hon. J. Y. Joyner.
