Getting Attention,

The primary object of every adver
tiser is to secure attention for his an
nouncement. We learn from an EN-
inent authority on the psychology OF
advertising, who writes in a current
magazine, that there are four ways
in which attention may be effected,
as follows:
ID BY increased relative intensity
Of the stimulus.
(2) BY intrinsic interest OF the slim
illus.
go By accommodation OF the sense
organ involved.
"a BY preperception-anti
preparation from within of ideational
centers to be concerned.
This information will no doubt be
of great value to all practical pub.
licity-seekers, and we commend 1t to
their earnest consideration. At the
same time WeaNenture to add the ad.
viqR Lille they keep an eye on
tfse AtfVe intensity of the stimulus, .
the sense organ and the "ideational
centers" whatever they are) they
keep the other eye trained upon the

EFFICIENCY IN ADVERTISING
Can Only Be Obtained Through Good
Craftsmanship and Good Busi-
ness Methods.

Byron w. Orr at the last meeting
of the Toledo AID club delivered an en-
tertaining talk on Advertising Sue
cesses and Their Reason" He said
among other things:
Advertising successes mean what?
Profit making.
Merchants are in business to make
money-profits. Statistics show that
a large percentage of merchants en-
gagged in business make a fizzle of 1t.
The maximum of legitimate proht
comes through the efficiency of adyer-
Using, salesmanship and correct bust
ness methods. Many merchants are
wasting fully 80 per cent of their ad-
vertising expenditure through ineffi-
cient store service. 1t is only when
each employe is giving the business
his best thought and efforts that your
advertising will be placed on 100
per cent basis"
Mr.. Orr, who was advertising man
ager for big New York store, several
years ago, told of the preliminary
work done by his department before
IuC ne Va bhO e-P
preparation made for advance adVer-
Using was $4,000, one-half of which
Mr.. Orr spent in newspaper publicity.
The other half was used in the publ.
cation of 100000 booklets and $4,000
souvenirs for distribution on the
opening day.
The ads were prepared with great
care after many interviews with the
buyers and heads of departments. No
prices were named and no special
items of merchandise were mention
ed, the space being employed to tell OF
the policy of the new store, its meth
DDS, the character of the goods Of
fered, and the advantages of trading
with the firm.
The store opened on Saturday,
the public merely being invited to
come and inspect the store and its
goods The crowd was so great that
an extra detail of police was sent to
the store to handle the people. The
opening WIS a great success, and on
Monday, the first sales day, the store
was thronged with buyers.
Mr.. Orr was the first to use col
ored page IN the Herald for advertis-
ing department store.

A good egg is a rare production.
The breeding season will be upon
us now before we have had time to
think.
The Indian Runner duck is not In
clined to fatten so readily as other
varieties.
1t is estimated that it requires the
feathers from about ten ducks to
make pound.
Full fed hens, having well bal
anced ration, will lay larger eggs than
hens on stinted feed.
A warm house does not mean that
1t be alright. Laying hens must have
fresh air at all times Of the year.
By this time you should have your
spring breeders and the cockerel with
which they are to be mated selected.
The Indian Runner duck is not a
new variety, although it is not as old
as some of the other varieties of
ducks.
Duck eggs are in demand by confec-
TONERS, as they impart glaze to
their icing, which cannot be had with
hen eggs.
The critical period of the turkey is
the first eight weeks of its life.
About AZ eggs is the average yearly
record of the hen.
With many flocks, the addition OF
an ample supply of meat to the ra-
ton will cause a marked increase In
the size of the egg.
1t takes lots of scheming and coax.
ing to get the hens to lay eggs this
cold weather, but they are worth the
price after you do get them.
Hens with plenty of exercise and
comfortable surroundings lay heavier
eggs than those in restricted quar-.
tiers; often eggs 10 per cent heavier

When the manager of the store in
serted the ad he stated: You bet
we want cats; the kind we want are
the strong and heroic kind, that will
tackle rat as big as themselves. The
rats are about to carry off the store.
and we want some good ratters and

RAISING POULTRY FOR EGGS
Maine Agricultural Experiment Station
Issues Bulletin Giving Results
With Plymouth Rocks.

Under the above title the Maine
agricultural experiment station has Is
sued Bulletin 1872, which summarizes
all Of the results Of the experiments
which have been carried on at the sta
ton during the last 13 years in at
tempting to improve by breeding the
average egg production of strain of
Barred Plymouth Rock poultry. An
account is given of the results of the
earlier experiments in selecting the
highest producers as breeders without
regard to any other qualities than
their trap nest records. 1t is shown
that this plan of breeding failed to OBJ
tain any distinct improvement in flock
production. The experiments of the
station to find out whether continued
artificial incubation and brooding has
a harmful effect on egg production are
described. The effect Of inbreeding on
egg production is discussed on the
basis of extensive experimental rec
ords. This Is followed by a clear and
simple explanation of a new plan of
breeding which has been tried during
the past five years, and which is based
upon the conception that high egg pro-
ductiveness is inherited in certain
blood lines" and not in others, and
that by proper system Of pedigree
selection it is possible to isolate the
high producing lines. The last section
of the bulletin is devoted to an exposi-
ton of the gratifying success which
has attended the application of this
new plan of breeding to the station
flock. Strains which have high egg
productiveness fixed as a definite
character have now been obtained and
are being propagated at the station.

FOR FEEDING TURKEYS ONLY
Small V-Shaped Trough Elevated to
Height to Allow Big Birds to
Pick From ls Useful.

Often on a farm where turkeys are
raised right along with the chickens
and other poultry, it is desirable to
feed them heavier than the other poul-
try, yet suitable means of doing so are
not available without a fenced yard
to separate them, writes P. c. Gross
of Ohio in the Prairie Farmer. In
such cases the following continuance
serves admirably:
A small V-shaped trough, of imma-
terial length, is elevated by means of
supports to a height that will allow
the turkeys to stand on the floor and
pick from it, yet be too high to per-
NIT the chickens and small fowls do
ing likewise. Three or four inches
above the top of the trough board, as
wide as the trough, is attached fiat
wise. This prevents the chickens from
