HOME MERCHANT WILL
GIVE you A SQUARE DEAL
Obliged to Live Up 60 Statements In
Home Paper-MaII Order Houses
That Do Not.

Proof that the home tradesman In
whatever line will give you fair treat
ment Is found in the fact that he does
not dare go behind his announcements
In the local paper. while many of the
mail order concerns circulate adver-
tisements of marvellous bargains
which are nothing of the sort The
home merchant simply has to make
good" what he advertses, while the
tricky mail order house in a city miles
away practices imposition because 1t
knows that its victims whose eyes
have been opened will be replaced by
others who have yet to undergo that
painful operation
OF course the home merchant who
does not advertise in his local newspa-
per loses the greatest business opportu-
nifty of these enlightened times. which
ena bles him to talk to people who 9TH
erwise might never visit his store. This
is a progressive generation, and a guard
against business failure is talking
about what you have to sell No better
way of doing this has been discovered
than by means of advertising.
The home merchant Is not ashamed
to advertise what he wants you to
tended to apply to fraudulent mail or
der houses. They are shameless and
advertise to make big profits which
they do not deserve. In other words,
as has been said, they count on getting
new victims to replace the old.
And so your advertising home mer-
chant means what he says. and when
you are convinced of it and are suspi-
cious of the mail order bargains" why
not give him your support, which
means your patronage?
Surely the merchant who lives in
your midst and at the same time has
faith enough in his goods to advertise
them and then to look you in the eye
is not going to practice extortion and
cheap fraud Help the progressive
home merchant to get along. He de-
serves it.

.'One morning a gentleman was sit

dressed young ladies got in and began
to look about them for seats together
There was one entirely vacant seat, the
next in front of the gentleman men,
toned. One of the girls, who seemed
to be taking the lead, stopped before
these seats, turned over the back OF the
forward one and looked hard at the
gentleman sitting in the other, plainly
saying by her manner: We three girls
can have a nice little party of our own
in these seats if you will take one with
some one else. Haven't you the pol1te-
ness to do so?'
But the gentleman sat still In his
seat Evidently there was no polite
ness in him. The leader of the trio
took the seat next the window, facing
the impolite man; one of her party sat
beside her, while the third dropped into
the seat beside the man. They were
evidently chums and kept up a clatter
with their tongues. The man sat
among them like a black crow among
white doves, paying no attention to
them nor they to him. He was young
and bore the stamp of a gentleman
Surely it was surprising that he should
not have given them the whole of the
two seats and chosen another for him

front of him, not even glancing out of
the window or reading a newspaper

HOW TO TELL A GOOD cow.
Scales and Babcoek Test Best Way to
Determine Value of Animal.

Scales and Babcoek Test Best Way to
Determine Value of Animal.
Professor Dean, in charge of the
dairy department at the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, says a good COW is
one which gives 600 gallons of milk
year, or $50 pounds of butter in the
same length of time. He values COW
testing highly. as it is the only means
of telling whether or not n COW will
produce this much during the year. He
writes:
How are you to know good COW !?
You can tell by the notches in its back
bone You can tell by the length of her
tail whether she will milk for a long
time. The scales and Babcock tests
are the best tests. By these you weigh
the milk once a month and multiply
the pounds of milk given by the test
After dividing by 100 and adding one
sixth you have the number of pounds
Of butter the COW has given that
month. No other reliable way has been
discovered. The man who keeps pure
bred cows and Is not testing them is
making a serious mistake"

Pertaining to the Farm
PROPER FOOD FOR SOWS
AND THEIR OFFSPRING.
Mixture Of Common Farm Products
Better For Brood Stock Than Diet
Confined to Any One Grain.

Breeding pork stock should be kept
as possible during the year. Pasture
runs alone will not suffice. but should
be supplemented by foods especially
adapted to bone and muscle develop
ment. The feed for the brood sow
should be nutritious and bulky. Sliced
roots, clover or alfalfa hay, either fed
dry or as a chop feed, is very palata-
BILE Some corn may be fed, but
ground oats, crushed peas or white
middlings supply more nutriment for
muscle and bone development Scat
tering grains Of corn over large areas
will force activity and cause needed
exercise. If animals are confined to
pens walking the sows short distances
each day will prove beneficial
After narrowing as the pigs develop
greater appetites the sow should re-
ceive an increased amount of succu-
lent feed. Byproducts from the dairy,
such as skimmilk or buttermilk, sup
plemented with a grain mixture made
up of four pounds of middlings, two
pounds of ground oats, four pounds of
cornmeal, two pounds of ground barley
and one-half pound of oil meal, fed in
a thick slop in quantities SUFFICIENT to
keep the milking mothers in a vigor-
Gus, not f1eshy, appearance. will prove
useful. A mixture of the common
products found on the farm is always
preferable to any one grain, as grind
ing, cooking or soaking the feed, espe-
cially corn. is a waste of time and
money. Barley, wheat or oats should
be crushed. Alfalfa hay fed in Stat
racks is nourishing and keeps the d.
gestive system active.
A small low trough accessible only to
the young pigs should be provided and
a little feed, preferably skimmilk or
thin middlings, with a little oil meal
added, supplied. This mixture will
tempt the youngsters appetites. After
the young pigs are weaned they should
be well fed, provided with grassy
pasture or have access to a lot where
they can obtain fresh green forage.
This will tend to keep their digestive
tracts in good condition, and later,
when ready for fattening, their diges-
tive apparatus will be sufficiently de-
veloped to enable heavy feeding and
thus insure rapid and economical
gains.-Circular, Live Stock Commits

HAY FARMING.

Hay farming is not a poor in
dustry If one knows how to raise
it and then how to market it to
the best advantage So many
have gone into other kinds Of
farming. and SO many diaries
now using up all the hay raised
in their neighborhood, that the
competition is far less in the city
markets than formerly. says the
Farm and Fireside.
The idea that hay raising is ex-
hausting the soil and quickly
runs down a farm is an exploded
fallacy. Nothing robs the soil so
quickly as continual cropping Of
timothy hay. but when the land
is sown to clover every alternate
or third season, with the second
crop under, the soil is not robbed,
but actually benefited. Taking a
second crop of clover from the
same field in one season gener-
ally runs down the soil, espe-
cially If repeated more than one
season.
