The PUBLIC NOT MIND READERS

NY dear Mr. Merchant: 1t is
propably true. as yon say, that
you have been resident of this
town for twenty-five years. and
that every body in the country
knows you are in business here.
What of it? For thousands of
years a goodly share of the people
of this world have claimed to know
that there is a better and more
glorious world in the great beyond.
but it has ,aken heap of adver.
tising, persistent advertising. to
get them to point their tracts that
way. During yonr Sunday school
days you probably heard the song.
Tell me the old, old story. of un.
seen things abo.e.' Well. that
song will apply to your deplorable
condition on this mundane sphere.
You oug''t to tell, through the col
umls of'tbe great family journal
every week. the old, old story of
unseen things in yonr store. Not
MANY people are mind readers
You may know what you have, but
other people don't. Now is the
day Of salvation. 1t always pays
to advertise.

PROXY EARMlNG.

One of the greatest curses Of present day American agriculture Is the all too prevalent system of proxy farming. or absentee landIordism. Go into any sec tiop one will and the most rundown places are almost without exception those owned by men who live in town and have turned the virtual manage ment of the farm over to cash or share renter. who in all too many cases. being on a short lease. thinks he does best for himself by skinning the land to the limit Very likely the own er came Into possession Of the property when land was got for a song or in- herited it from some thrifty parent. and lt Ia natural enough If he receives fair interest return on what he con siders Is invested that be should mol he as alert along the line of seeing thai its fertility Is kept in repair as he ought to he sResr results are obtained an rhe farm management when the owner works ii himself If he has an, bueineas head af all.

cekAEAP BLOWING.

A eortb Iowa gasoline engine manu- factory. the largest of it's kind in the world. some little time ago established an experimental farm on which during the season. closing all of the blowing. disking and seeding operations have hs.en done with traction engines. In the matter of comparative crop y'eios the figures have not been fully worked out. but in the blowing operations II was found that the cost In labor. OH. etc. Of blowing an acre was 3' cents. While the large areas on which s'eain or gasoline tractors would give masi effective and economical results are ID way iracomsatible with the wide spread tendency toward division CT thess. large areas and the following CT a more intensive type Of thiase, the fact remains that there are suii q good many sections where the small tractor might be used with decided advantage as substitute for horses in blowing and other farming opera lions.

BETTER yiLLAeE DID IT.

What can be accomplished by the mere fact of a thorough cultivation of fbe soil has been brought to the writ CTS attention very forcibiy during the past few weeks. A fifty or sixty acre field belonging to farm which has been share rented for the past twenty years and hence gradually robbed of its fertiity-for It has not been manur- ed or replenished with clover-was given a deep blowing and this year pIanted to corn. Prior to this year the field had been sort of an agricultural bywerd. little being expected of it and as little being realized from it This season. however. different tactics were followed. The field was put in good filth as a seed bed. good seed planted and good stand of corn secured. During the growing season it was cul- tiyafed thoroughly five times. The result was an eye opener. Not only did this handling result in a good growth of stalks which were well ear ed but so mellow was the surface kent that the crop was able to with. stand protracted dry weather in much better shape than richer and heavier land which WAS not so well titled. not withstanding it had coarse gravel suhsoil A lot of farmers who have driven past this field have been won dering what magic was used on it. It was just matter of cultivation of the soil which unlocked it's possibilities. in spite of the fact that it's fertility was badly depleted. The same cultivation. coupled with manure and clover. would accomplish even better results These three things ought to be tried on thou sands of farms through the cotton. corn and small grain belts.
