ADVERTISER SHOULD PUT
HIMSELF IN READERS PLACE
an Ad. That 10 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 de-
sire to buy aud 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 overstatemcnt.
They are not like every other adj, 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
n market. builds desire for goods,
educates the public up to want. 1t
helps the town, for 1t brings trade
from n distance. | am now talking of n
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 Il com.
mercial traveller does. 1t will not be
denied or overlooked. 1t compels at
tention, respect and patronage. One
of the most important elements in the
education Of 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 ms 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, ncighborly feeling, reci-
procity in business, qdckness of deliv-
cry, opportunity to inspect goods, alb
sence of transportation charges, cheap
or 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.

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 cultivates his grain fields after
every rain from the time they are well
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 1t until

In 1868 l was detailed on court mar
tial to sit at Nashville for the purpose
of trying cases of delinquency that had
occurred in the Army of the Cumber-
land. One young fellow, Sergeant Mil.
ton Troop who was brought before us,
engaged my attention the moment |
saw him. His bearing was soldierly,
and his countenance bore the stamp OF
with desertion to the enemy.
His disappearance occurred while his
regiment was in proximity TO the Con-
federates. Later on the command at

~ was that on the evening Of his dis
appearance he had pointed out to his
captain that the command was liable
to be surrounded by the enemy. The
captain had declared that there was no
enemy near. Troop offered TO ride out
and reconnoter. The captain gave his
consent. Troop had not gone far be-
fore he was called upon from the rear
to surrender. He had ridden between
the enemy's vedettcs.
The captain. Croker, being called.
fatty denied the whole story, declared
that he had had 10 such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission
or orders to scout. The matter rested
on a question of veracity between the
two men. The scale was turned against
the accused by the producing Of IL
, scrap Of paper found in his knapsack
on which was written, Meet me to-.

ern." 1t was not signed. and as the
handwriting was manifestly disguised
it was impossible to tell whether the
writer was man or woman. At the
time the message was written the loca-
ton described was within the enemy's
lines. When asked to explain this pa
per the prisoner ut first refused to do
so. but afterward said that he had
formed the acquaintance Of q young
country girl, who had appointed the
meeting.
The captains evidence was so direct
and the accused's explanation so lame
that he was found guilty and sentenced
to be shot. AS he was led away he
made an exclamation which convinced
me of his innocence:

SAVING the Asparagus.

says that he has got the best OF the, as
paragls beetle by Keeping flock Of
guinea fowls. They are very fond OF
the beetles and will get most Of their
living from them if given the chance.
Some other gardeners outwit the bee
ties By keeping the asparagus so close

shoots for the insects TO live on. and

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 II the

The advantage of this precautlon Is

In the east rolling winter wheat as

red to narrowing. If clover Is planted
with the wheat 1t 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-
