If advertising doesn't pay,
Why is it that the most sue
cessfuI merchants of every
town, large and small, are
the heaviest advertisers? If
It does not pay, why do the
largest business firms in the
world spend millions in that
way? Is it because they
want to donate those mil
Iiors to the newspapers and
magazine publishers, or be-
cause they don't know as
much about business as the
six for : a-doIIar merchant
who says money spent in
advertising is thrown away
or donated to the man to
, whom it is paid? Such talk
is simply ridiculous and it
requires more than the av-
erage patience to discuss
the proposition of whether
advertising pays or not with
that kind of a man.

fall, when they are again fed grain
and hay.
We always stable all of our colts at
night, but they have a roomy yard or
field to run in in the day time, so
that they get plenty of exercise.
We always break our colts to har-
mes before they are three years old.
Get them used to the harness before
spring work begins. Work them only
half day at time to commence
with, and see that their collars and
harness fit them well.
When the weather gets warm clip
your colts. By SO doing you may avoid
sore shoulders. If a colt gets a sore
shoulder, let MIN rest a few days
and heal it up. If you continue to
work him and the sore keeps getting
worse, you may have shoulder that
will always bother you when he is put
to hard work
before they are seven years old. When
you intend to sell your horses see that
they are in proper shape. They should
be fat, as that is what the market de-
mands. Feed them on good wholesome
food; corn can be fed to quite an ex-
tent at this time, with bran and

Along with the pessimistic fore
casts of a hard winter published by

comes a recent note of hopefulness
from Rev. w. e. Rice of Fergus

seasons during his IS years residence
in this state-all have been followed
by seasons of abundant crops. This

drying up of vegetation rests the

nor grain drew on the supply the
year before.

believe that majority of the Amer
