women; make no ridiculous claims, but
get her confidence by sincere state
ment of facts. If your goods are what
she expects, you get all of her trade.
Anybody can fool all of the people
once, but the penalty is distrust in the
future and the sun begins to set on
what might have been successful
business.
The publisher of this paper is as
much interested in your business as he
is in his own. The paper of every
mans town continually shouts for your
home town and boosts it, even in the
face of the most trying conditions. It's
the papers mission to do it and the re-
suit never benefits the paper as much
as it does the towns merchants. So
let's all get away from thinking that
we are doing the paper favor by adj
vertising in it; just stop and think
what it would cost to send letters con-
tanning the same information your adj
vertisement gives to as many people
as this paper reaches.
A few months ago / offered a good
size advertisement for the Pianos of
the largest Music House in Western
Michigan to the publisher of small
paper; he said: "No, can't take it;

Germ handling pianos and while they

seldom advertise and never veryyarge,
it wouldn't be fair to them. We'heed
the business, but i must be lonl to
my own people! Now, | wonder how
many who read this would have turned
down cash business like that and ]
wonder if many ever think of how
many times your paper stands be-
tween you and competition.
What is good for your paper is good
for your town and what is good Tor
your town is good for you merchants
and W, IT is good for you is good for
your community and so on. Now give
all of this some serious thought and
the next time you write an advertise
ment feel that your success depended
entirely upon it. 1t is conservative to
say that at least 796 of your gross in
come should be spent in advertising.
Do this and you get results. A great
merchant who started business in lit
tie country store, once said that the
only bill he enjoyed paying was his
advertising bill. There are many who
do not take this view, but the time is
coming when the small as well as the
large merchant will realize that the
greatest force in the world for in
creasing business is intelligent adver-
Using.

VALUE AND PRESERVATION OF
HEN MANURE.

A recent bulletin of the Maine Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station shows
that the poultryman or farmer can
materially add to the profits of his
business by properly caring for the
droppings of his fowls. For exam
Pile, it is shown that the droppings
from 1000 fowls if preserved without
needless loss are worth at least 5000
per annum, and this estimate is based
on the assumption that less than half
of the droppings, or only 30 pounds
per hen per year, can be collected.
According to the Maine station, the
droppings should be collected daily and
mixed with substances which will az
prevent loss of nitrogen, (2) add suf-
ficient potash and phosphoric acid to
make a better-b balanced fertilizer, and
(3) improve the mechanical condition
of the manure so that it can be ap-
piled to the land with a manure
spreader
This can be done as follows: To
each 80 pounds of the manure add 10
pounds of sawdust, good dried loan,
or peat, 16 pounds of acid phosphate,
and pounds of kainit. Such a mix
ture will contain about 1.25 per cent
of nitrogen, As per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent of potash, which,
used at the rate of tons per acre
would furnish 80 pounds of nitrogen,
1876 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 80
pounds of potash, and at the present
price of fertilizing ingredients is
worth about so per ton. The mixture
would furnish a well-balanced stable
fertilizer, which, although not fine
enough to work well in drills, can be
successfully applied with a manure
spreader. The treated manure should
be we'll sheltered until time to apply
to the land-that is, shortly before
blowing.

"CULL" OR MOULDY BEANS PRO
HIBITED IN CANNED
BAKED BEANS.

Washington, d. C.-The Department
of Agriculture, through the Bureau of
Chemistry, has given notice to mann
facturers of canned baked beans or
pork and beans that it regards the
practice of using "cull" or other beans
which are mouldy, musty or otherwise
decomposed in these products as man
ifestly contrary to Section z, para
graph of the Food and Drugs Act.
Notice is also given that the use
of tomato sauce or pulp which is pre-
pared from decomposed tomato at
trimming stock, in the preparationstI
baked beans or other food products
with tomato sauce is also considered
a violation of the law.
The section of the Food and Drugs
Act referred to provides that an ar
ticle shall be deemed to be aduItered
in the case of food III
it consists in whole or in part of a
filthy, decomposed, or putrid aniRyA
or vegetable substance, or any portion
of an animal unfit for food. whether
manufactured or not, or if il is the
product of a diseased animal, or one
that has died otherwise than by

Ex-Governor w. ID. Hoard, in an
address to Illinois Farmers Institute,
said:
al have been something of build

what | could to build up knowledge
in the hearts of men concerning dairy
ing. / have seen about forty years of
steady service in that field. | have
seen men, through the inspiration and
teaching concerning the COW, changed
from dotish, unthinking exploiters OF
soil and cattle, to wideawake, earnest
students of the mysteries of this true
and real form of goodness. | have
seen farms transformed from shabbl-
ness to beauty, from abodes of indif-
ference and ignorance Of the laws of
God in animal and plant life, to living
exponents of fairer, sweeter and no
bier civilization.

another thing | noticed was a
growth in honesty, plain, old-fash-
Toned, simple honesty. AS dairy far

necessity of being honest with his
soil. He must recognize its claims. He
must be honest with his cows. They,
zoo, have claims. He must be honest
with his mind He must respect

required to obtain comprehension.

"There is only one road to this con-
summation. The farmer must take
hold of this problem of building up the
country school, his school, the only
school % per cent of all the farmers
of the land have ever had. They are
today what the school has made them.
AS basis for the broadcast of educa-
ton, agriculture stands without a
peer.
eff we do anything to conserve the
resources of our country, we must
work with the farm boys, the farmer

then usually added, which is
IL ,ughly mixed with the clay, either
by 6raffic or by means of plows and
disk Ior tooth harrows.
The best results have been obtained
by thoroughly mixing or pulling the
materials when wet. Forthis reason,
it is desirable that the mixing be done
in wet weather. The mixing can be
left to the traffic after the materials
have been properly placed, but this
involves whole winter and spring of
bad road, and even then the mixing
is not always satisfactory. In all
cases, it is advisable to dress the road
with road machine or split-log drag
after the materials have been thor
oughly mixed, and to give it crown
of not more than II inch or less than
q inch to the foot from the center to
the sides. A light coating of sand
may then be added. The use of the
road machine or drag should be con-
tinued at frequent intervals until the
surface is smooth and firm.
If the road to be treated is composed
of clay, it should first be brought to
a rough grade with road machine
The surface should then be plOwed
and thoroughly pulverized by harrow
ing to depth of about inches, after
which it is given crown or slope of
about = inch to the foot from the CEN
ter to the sides. 1t is then covered
with 9 to inches of clean, sharp sand,
which is spread thicker in the center
than at the sides. The materials
should then be mixed with plows and
harroWs, while they are comparatively
dry, after which they are finally pud-

the road becomes sticky. more sand
should be added.
and dltched in the usual manner with
a road machine. This should be done
when the surface is soft, vet stiff
enough to pack we'll under the roller
or the traffic. Wide but shallow
bitches should be provided on both
sides of the road and culverts or
crossdrains should be placed wherever
water flows across the road, for it is
exceedingly important that the sand
on clay" roads be we'll drained.
After the, clay on sand or the sand
on clay, road is completed, it should
be carefully maintained until the SUP
face becomes firm and smooth. The
construction of this type of road is bv
no means quick operation. If soft.
sticky places appear, more sand should
be added land if loose, sandy places are
found, more clay is needed. 1t is lust
as important to attend to these small
details as to any other part of the
work, for, if they are neglected, the
road is liable to fail.
1t requires approximately 1 cubic
yard of clay to surface IL running
yards of road II feet in width, or
about 1,l75 cubic yards to the mile.
From q to l cubic yard will make a
load for two horses on a dry clay
road. The cost of the road will theA-

being from $500 to 81 900 per mile.
A road built under the direction of
the Office of Public Roads at Gaines
vile, Florida, one mile long, ID feet

surface, cost 1881 per mile, or ten
cents per square yard. Another sand
clay road built by the Office at Talla-
hassee, Florida, Is feet wide, 7 inches
thick, cost $470 per mile, or about five
cents per square yard.

the Catholics? Or shall the field be divided among the various denominations, that the secular may be as widely divided regarding the teachings of Jesus the denominational press has always been? When the wel-meaning missionaries go forth to instruct the men and of the secular press, there must have been some agreement among the missionaries the matters concerning which they intend to impart instruction what the great Nazarene actually taught.
 That there is ground at present is apparent from the widely differing construction placed upon those teachings by the many Christian sects. Otherwise universal horn book, other than the New Testament scriptures cannot be provided for the theological training of newspaper writers
 In proposing this home missionary move- men there is ignored the fact that by far the great majority of newspaper editorial writers have, as reporters, had wide experience in the field of porting sermons and have become familiar with all the varying denominatonal views regarding the teachings of Jesus Indeed necessary is accuracy in sermon reporting that the who is taking notes for publication gives greater attention to doctrinal sermon than does the average nearer And his vocation brings him technical knowledge of the views of the different denominations ex- pounded from the pulpit and enrncated at confer and conventions.
 It would appear from the attitude of the Kan professor that he is under the impression that the scripural of the teachings of the Cali lean and the Sermon the Mount have yet to be brought the attention of professional newspaper writers who have served an apprenticeship as ser reporters. And it must not be forgotten that familiarity with the technique of reporting and editorial comment gives opportunities for view ing these teachings of the Master Teacher through many and widely varying denomnational spectacles

 They are off, and business in the vicinity pends.
 "I trade with you Pelty,' says Chet calmly quite calmly Let me look it over."
 He walks carefully around the car, opens the hood and looks in. Funny engine isn't it? I one like that at the worlds fair
