BEE CULTURE NOT DIFFICULT
No More Skill and intelligence Re-
quired Than TO Keep Poultry
Do Not lHlurs Fruit.

1t requires no more intelligence and
skill to raise bees than to keep poul-
try. 1t requires a certain amount OF
work and at the right time, yet this
in no sense equals the attention given
poultry But for some reason few
farmers have beea. II IT 10 lack OF
knowledge that keeps them from It.,
then the excuse In easily overcome,
for there are many bee journals and
books that would give the desired In
formation. II it be fear Of bee stings,
these may be prevented by certain ap-
pliances. Surely no one should be kept
from the enjoyment Of honey because
of cost The bees and the necessary
equipment need not cost much. Per
haps some have been led to believe
through foolish newspaper reports
that bees are injurious TO fruit. This
is not so. Bees cannot break the akin
OF any fruit. Because they are seen
sucking the juice Of punctursd grapes
they have been falsely accused Of do
ing the puncturtng.

HAVE FAITH IN ADVERTISING
Leading Cause of Big Profits Made by
MaII-order Houses-Example for
Country Merchants.

One of Chicago's big mail-order sup
ply houses cleared, in profits, in 1910
100000, so 1t will be seen that they
are not in business merely for the
accommodation of the public, but
listen:
How do these houses reach the
people?
Isn't it by advertising?
Yes, you will have to admit or en-.
pose your ignorance
Country merchants will frankly
admit that this is the way it is done,
and yet, withhold their advertise
ments from the local paper, which
stands between them and the mail
order house, and allow the big concern
to talk to their customers in print day
in and day out through the magazines
and farm and family journals, and
never say a word in their own defense
or in support of their goods or prices
through their medium. the home pa
per, which is as eagerly read by their
customers as are the magazines car
rying the advertisements Of the mail
order houses-continually
When country merchants wake up
to the fact that every dollars worth
of goods sold by mail-order concerns
Is the direct result of continuous ad-
vertising, then take up the same meth
DDS, systematically and persistently,
they will soon be selling the goods
used by the people in their territory
and the NJ o. concerns will be forced
to quit business for lack OF support.
Country merchants have a system OF
dropping in and out, usually with q
little "two-for-fve" ad., absent OF
prices. often descriptive of goods out
of season at cut prices" while the
mail-order concern will carry liberal
sized advertisement, prices and goods
reasonable; the journal carrying the
advertisement finds its way to the
homes of the local mans customers
and is there compared with the adVer-
tisement in the home paper, II any,
and right there the decision is made Of
whom to buy The NJ. o. house has
new and tempting offer every time
Ju6 JOURNAL is IcCSlNSA, Oub LhO hOAAo
merchant allows the home paper to
enter the same homes and his store
not represented only occasionally.
When business becomes dull the M.
o. house jumps into the journals with
larger and more attractive ads. than
at other times; when business gets
dull the home merchant drops out all
his ads. in the local paper, leaving it
all to the mail-order fellows and his
customers.
Not one man in ten in business in
small towns knows the value of ad-
vertising, or how or when to do 1t,
and why-simply because they do not
give this most important matter any
attention, and just as long as they do
not, just so long will the mail-order
houses prosper and pile up their mil
lions in profits and sell their goods
right under the nose of the retailer,
and 95 per cent of the latter go broke
annually-H. F. Broadbent, in the
McLouth (Kan-) Times.
