THE HEART OF
ADVERTISING
BY GEORGE s. BANTA.

II is an error into which
many merchants have fallen to
think that to advertise is mere
ly to subscribe for a certain
amount Of space In the news
paper. or some other medium.
which costs them money. This
Is not advertising: 1t Is only
the evidence Of advertising.
When your favorite Plymouth
Rock has placed an egg to her
credit she isn't slow in letting
you know of the fact, but the
noise she makes over the event
Is no more the egg than the ad-
vertising space in the newspa-
per is the advertising II should
represent.
The heart OF advertising con-
sists in good and important
news to the public. 1t Is eff
fective insofar as the public
knows and recognizes that It
is genuine. truthful and timely.
The more We know about ad-
vertising, the more sharply we
discriminate in its favor. Ad-
vertising men refuse to class as
advertising standing cards and
unchanged advertisements. So
called. In the newspapers.
This is not the fault Of the
newspapers. nor of advertising,
as such. What would you think
IL II came to you day after
day. and week after week, with
just exactly the same stories
and news items? or course, II
, would be uninteresting and the
editor would not only have an
angry lot of subscribers, but
every advertiser would be com
Ing In with a big complaint.
Yet many advertisers entirely
overlook the fact that people
take a newspaper for news. The
readers do not care where they
find that news, whether in the
N"S Vi thC duNcI tibluS CUT
umns, but wherever II is they
read it and act upon 1t. A real
live newspaper is the greatest
action-producing force in the
community.
The merchant who wants his
advertising to pay will not for
get to put into II big. throb-
bling heart. He will have some
thing new-he will have some
thing Of especial interest at his
store. This will be the heart
of his advertising end he will
put 1t into the space he uses In
his home newspaper. Other
mediums. like calendars and
signs, will hold forth his name
to the public, but they cannot,
from their very nature. be en-
dowed with the real heart of
advertising. The advertiser
must depend upon the newspa-
per to carry to the public the
news of his store and by intel
ligently using It's columns he
can turn dull days into bright
and busy ones.

The Cow Needs Rest.

Most farmers seen to breed the COW
with no concrn as to her resourcefulness
or enduring qualities. She Is bred at an
early age; bred again just as soon as she
will come in heat after her fret calving
held right to her milk as nearly as pos,
sible to the next calviDg- time, and
handled thus until she Is worn out and
no longer useful.
With such management, her unborn
calf will have much of its sustenancs
taken from ii, on account Of the nOurish
meut going toward keeping up the COW
which results in q weakened offspring
and this influence gradually wields
most deteriorating effect on the grade
of the herd In general, since each sue
ceeding calf will be still more undesir
able than the one before 1t.
We have seen cows whose nature re
belled against such treatment, and in
yariably these animals positively refused
10 come in sufficient heat to be gotteI
with calf. This shows, conclusively
that the COW requires and deserves
short period of rest from her labor
every season.
We aim to give the COW abouta three o
four months rest out of every season

intensive dairying the remainder OF tn
