New York, Aug. THE open breach
between Mrs. Mary Baker @. Eddy.
founder Of the Christian Science
church and Mrs Augusta E. Stetson,
dominating influence in the First
Church OF Christian Science, New
York, has apparently been widened by
an order issued by Mrs. Eddy, forcing
Mrs. Stetson and fifteen other Chris
tian Science practitioners to leave their
comfortable Office in the church build
ing.
This was effected by the passage OF
new bylaw which declares that no
practitioner or teacher may have Of
flee in a Christian Science building.
Mrs. Stetson has moved her offices
into the palatial residence given her by
her students, next door to the church.
AS the home and the church are con-
nected by covered passageway, many
doubt that Mrs. Eddy will accept this
as moving out of the church, and Mrs.
Stetson may be forced to move her
offices out OF her home.
Many believe Mrs. Stetson will sue
ceed Mrs. Eddy as the head OF the
church, and as the new bylaw hits
particularly at Mrs. Stetson's church.
some believe 1t was arranged to hit

SUCCESS IN BREED
CARE MUST BE EXERCISED IN Sc
LEcTING STOCK.
Farmer to Be Prosperous In Growing
Livestock Must Exercise Good
judgment and General In
teIigence in Caring for
Animals,

To become highly successful in
breeding and growing farm animals
one must love the animals he works
with. He must have an Unborn or &C
qaired sympathy for them and ever
be on the alert to make them comfort
able and happy with feed, shelter and
other necessary things for healthy
growth and perfect maturity.
The man who is not content day or
night till he knows that his farm
stock is cared for in the best possible
manner is sure to succeed with them.
AS the man thinks and works, so will
his results be. Even when all things
are right he will light the lantern aft
er supper on winter evenings and go
to the barn and other buildings to see
the animals and know positively that
they are warm and comfortable for
the cold night. He will do this, not
because he suspects neglect in some
line, but because his heart is with
them, and because he cannot help do
ing it. Going the rounds Of the stalls
and stables he talks to each animal
as to a human being, and each animal
seems to appreciate the human SYM
pathy extended. 1t is a good way to
make friends with the animals and
gain their complete confidence. The
men who do this from right motives
and kindness are good stockmen.
The successful growing of live stock
on the general farm requires good
judgment and general intelligence on
the part of the farmer. The animals
require good shelter, proper amounts
of right kinds of nutritious feeds and
their physical structure must be I'M
derstood in order to handle them in
breeding and maternity. The grower

A Prize Winner,

should be able to determine diseases
and other ailments, their cause and
cure. To make profitable gains he
should thoroughly understand feeds,
with their composition and nutritive
value and balanced rations. He should
know what feeds will produce the
highest returns with each kind of ami
mails kept, and know what feeds to
buy in order to get the best results
from the feeds grown on his own
farm. With judicious management
and correct knowledge of farm stock
and feeds the general farmer can buy
feeds and use them with profit, be-
sides adding extra amounts of manure
to his land, which represents part
of the net gains. 1t is better farm
practice to buy feeds than to sell
them, and the farmer who keeps
much live stock is able to do this to
advantage.
With the growing demand for pure
bred animals of all kinds, the gener-
al farmer can make extra money on
IA0 odmO duOuAL VI AdAu NY hSGpAu5
pure bred animals only and selling
part of them for breeding purposes.
Of course, there is some extra ex-
pense in doing this, but the returns
will justify the extra expense, and the
pleasure in growing them is compen-
sation in itself, an important point
overlooked by many. 1t is a pleasure
to keep animals that one Is not
ashamed of and which others are al
ways eager to buy.

The Right Way to Write Letters
Rx1 Clorx1in Oodv r-7

Author Cody System How That Pull

and hard enough, just as the book
agent gets orders from people who
pay to get rid of the agent.
Letters cannot be used to worry
anybody into anything It is too easy
to throw the letter in the wastebas-
ket. The only possible hope is to ex-
cite interest.
The idea that you will get an Or
der if you keep at it long enough is,
therefore, also fallacious. The first
letter may not close an order if the
amount involved is large. One letter
will not sell piano or a threshing
machine. But the first letter is most
likely to excite interest and get re-
ply. If the first letter does not de-
velop interest, one can safely con-
clude that something is the matter
with the letter and better one must
be found. If the first letter does
not do something, none of the ordi-
nary follow-up letters are likely to.
1t happens, however, that the first
letter usually gets some favorable re-
suit if the business amounts to any
thing in itself. The case is stated
fully and fairly in that first letter,
and those who are interested re-
spond.
In planning letters to follow up
good first letter, the first thing that
the average man does is to ask if the
first letter has been received and to
express surprise that nothing has re-
suited.
Nothing could be more foolish. AS
l said at the beginning, people can
not be worried into doing business
through nagging letters.
The only fair way is simply to con-
clude that the first letter made no
impression, and was thrown away and
forgotten. Make the following letter
as complete soliciting letter as the
first one. Try all over again, restat-
ing the entire case, sending circular,
and the like. The second letter should
attack customer from new point
of view, that is all There should be
no direct reference whatever Tin most
cases. to any preceding letter. If
catalogue has been sent, inciose a
small circular in the second letter,
and offer to send another copy of the
catalogue if the first one sent is not
on hand. Never worry or imagine
the first letter has been carefully
laid away. Start fresh each time.
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-07-17
HOW FAR APART IN TIME SHOULD
LETTERS GO?

The time between follow-up letters
is very important. Lists of names will
not stand indefinite continuous work
ing. They wear out and time must be
allowed to lapse before another letter
will pull properly. When time has
passed, letters will begin to pull
again.
At the same time, when a first at
tempt is being made, letters should
usually be very close together, so as
to concentrate the blows and try to
get some advantage from the success
sion, and from taking advantage of in
terest while it is aroused. It often hap
pens that two or three letters coming
right on top of each other will accom-
plish what no one letter alone would
accomplish, but in that case the let
tiers should be very close together, not
over week apart, and sometimes
only three or four days apart.
In other cases more time should be
allowed to elapse, a month being a
common period, and then three
months, or even four months. In the
end one letter year may be all that
will pay.
Usually this is about the proper ar
rangement:
A large list made up from Dun or
Bradstreet's is taken up to be worked
for inquiries. A postal card inquiry
comes back, and the inquiries are fol.
lowed up closely with long, hard let
tiers.
The answer to the inquiry will be as
full letter as can be written. It
should be a long and strong letter.
Within week the inquiry should have
a second letter, and ten days later a
thirds perhaps, with a fourth a month
later, and then follow-up letters at in
tervals of two or three months. Others
require six or eight letters one after
the other in quick succession.
AS the inquiries are cleaned up
through getting some answer they are
checked off, and there will be a GER
tain residuum of names from which it
is impossible to get anything at all.
They are usually dead ones and should
be thrown out altogether.
Those that replied and show they
are alive may be put in a special list
by themselves and given a special
fotlow-up from time to time indefinite
ly. But everything depends on the re-.
turns.

HOW TO MAKE A LETTER SHORT,
YET STRONG.

There is a wide impression on the
Fart of business men that letters must
De very short if they are to be read
instead Of thrown in the wastebasket;
and as consequence they are often
made SO short that the reader does
not know what they are about, and
the important points that should be
impressed on his mind are not made
at all. The short letter may be read
more widely, but still it may convince
fewer in the end than a long letter
that is read by only a very few, but
really conVinces them.
The secret of making letter short,
yet strong, lies in selecting repre-
sentative points-one point that will
give the effect of half a dozen. 1t is
matter of judgment as to what will
have most effect, what is really typi-
cal and representative of the case.
The man who knows his business thor
oughly has a mass of facts from
which he must select. He should take
those which are simplest, most direct,
and most closely related to the or
binary habit of thought of the person
who is to read the letter or adver-
tisement.
For example, man came into my
office the other day with a baking pow
der which he wished to make COM
pete in his own immediate vicinity
with well-known brand. I asked
him if he had any unique features in
the manufacture which he thought
made his powder better than the
other. He mentioned half a dozen
minor technical points in the manufac-
ture, and finally said: "Of course we
deliver baking powder fresh every
day, while the other is made six
months in advance" We immediate
~ recognized simple point which
every one would see, and which would
be sufficient as far as manufacture
was concerned. More would be accom-
plished by emphasizing this point
strongly and letting the others go than
trying to cover all. Stating one typi-
cal point and then referring briefly
to scores of Others" is the right way
to produce conviction. But the one
point must be a good one Some
times two, three, or even four points
may be stated In general, there
should be one point for each feature
or phase of the case.
