learned is in reference to the treat
ment of the small grains. The eastern
farmer usually considers wheat, oats
and barley as crops which cannot be
cultivated. Consequently no attention
is paid to them from the time they are
sown until they are ready to harvest.
Not so with the up to date dry farmer.
He cuItivates his grain fields after
every rain from the time they are we'll
started in the spring until they are too
high to allow of further cultivation.
The spike tooth harrow is used for the
earlier workings. AS the grain grows
larger the weeder Is substituted. BY
means of the latter implement grain
may be cultivated almost up to the
time when it begins to head.
The advantages of this cultivation
are twofold. In the first place 1t
serves to break the crust which is so
likely to form after the spring rains
and to close the cracks which the frost
has made in the winter grain fields.
This lessons the evaporation of mois-
ture, which is most rapid from crusted
or cracked soil and conserves it until

ADVERTISER SHOULD PUT
HIMSELF IN READERS PLACE
Seat the Mail Qrder Houses by Using
an Ad. That Is Attractive and
Catches the Eye.

The advertiser must put himself in
the readers place. Let him think what
would catch his eye, what would hold
him, what would awaken in him a de-
sire to buy and finally what would
clinch the matter and take him to the
store. There are some ads. one sim
ply cannot help reading. There are
some ads. that convince one of their
honesty and sincerity. They do not
arouse incredulity by overstatement.
They are not like every other ad., but
have an individuality of their own.
They cover only one article or one line
and so do not confuse the reader
They are fresh, not being the same
thing that has stood in the paper
month after month. The ad. is the
merchants salesman on the road. 1t
works while he sleeps. 1t brings in
customers while he waits on others.
1t carries abroad his fame. 1t creates
market, builds a desire for goods,
educates the public up to a want. 1t
helps the town, for it brings trade
from distance I am now talking of a
real advertisement, not the dead-alive
thing that sometimes passes under
that name. A good ad. is of the sort
that hustles for business just as a com
mercial traveller does. 1t will not be
denied or overlooked. 1t compels at
tendon, respect and patronage. One
of the most important elements In the
education of a business man of today
is to know how to write advertising.
For such a man the money he puts
into printers ink is an investment. He
counts on it as much as he does on
cost price or rent or. labor.
This is the way to meet the mail or
der houses. The local merchant has
practically all of the natural advan-
tages on his side. Local sentiment,
acquaintance, neighborly feeling, reci-
procity in business, quickness of deliv-
cry, opportunity to inspect goods, alb
sence of transportation charges, cheap
er ground rents and cheaper labor and
the avenue of the local newspaper, all
these factors are his helpers. With
these weapons he can win. But he
must plan his campaign and fight with
energy and intelligence. And, above
all, he must use printers ink.

Saving the Asparaaus.

Farm Adx'ice and Suggestion

It is most needed by the growing crop.
The advantage of this precaution is
most apparent in the semiarid dis
tricts, but in dry seasons it is noticea
bic anywhere.
In the east rolling winter wheat as
soon as it is safe to go on the ground
in the spring is perhaps to be prefer
red to narrowing. If clover is planted
with the wheat it should be sown be-
fore the rolling is done. The rolling
covers the clover seed and also firms
the soil about the roots of the wheat
plants where it has been loosened by
heaving. The other effect of cultiva-
ton is in the keeping down of weeds,

that which has been sown broadcast
and so lessons the yield. For the same
reason the narrowing should be done
in the direction of the drill rows rather
than across them. Fields on which
grass or clover seed has been sown
should not be narrowed. for the young
plants are as easily killed by this treat
ment as are the weeds None of these
precautions need be observed if the
roller is used on winter grain but the
roller is of little or no use in killing
weeds In the east. except IL the dri-

and for this purpose it is just as use
full and just as necessary in the east
as in the west. Small weeds are very
easily killed with the harrow or weed

the grain will not be injured.
Three precautions are necessary in

termed as scurrllous language In copy

vested by the corrupt practice act with
power to edit all copy for the pam

Lafferty. after reviewing the fight
for the nomination, and attacks made
upon him by Portland papers, demon
mates those who have attacked him
as dirty, insignificant whelps and dir
ty towards. He also dares them to
meet him face to face and say any
thing out Of the way to him. He
claims glory for having started the
land grant litigation, and contends
that II he is not reelected that II will
be forgotten.
