THE GLORY OF THE GARDEN.

1T IS not always the largest enterprise
that gives the greatest profit On the
farm it is often a small side line that
gives better returns than the regular lines OF
effort. A few side lines--and in every farm
scheme there ought to be several-will help
out wonderfully in the yearly profit. A few
dollars from this few from that, and
few from one or more others means a good
deal in the course Of year. They often pay
outright for the luxury you have had in
mind at least they plan the way and set
the pace, and that done the end is not far
to reach.
The well-regulated farm is never without
it's garden. The man who lives in the city
appreciates the meaning and value OF the
garden. You need only to 60 from country
to city in order to become stanch advocate
of a large, well-kept garden. Fresh vegetables
add much to the attractiveness of country
life. They are an asset of country living.
They are full Of health and vitality. They
stand for the broad outlook of life-energy,
enthusiasm, red blood and joy. They are
constant benediction to right dieting.
But the farm garden includes more than
vegetables. Small fruits belong in its
dominion; they add to its profit and
contribute to its health giving benefits. Give
the garden little attention and you get an
attractive income from the surplus. Not only
do you have for your own use vegetables and
small fruits, but little extra money, and
you save on other articles for the table that
otherwise Would be purchased.
Therefore, during the year of 1915 let's
get more from the garden. Let US permit it
to add to the income Of the farm and to the
comforts Of the home. Let it do its share in
the enlargement Of life, character and right
living.

THE FARMER WHO ADvERTIsEs.

DRRO OBA ABB LY no ether class of manu-
facturers do so little advertising as the
farmers. The fact that there is such
a wide difference between the price you get
for your manufactured product, the produce
Of your farm, and the price which the con-
sumer pays for that product is good evidence
that advertising Of the right kind placed in
the right sort of papers would be profitable
investment
A number of the foundation principles OF
advertising are well understood to every
body. For instance: Advertise where the
buyer is. II you have milk to sell you
wouldn't advertise it where everybody who
reads has milk to spare. You would adyer-
tise it in your nearest home paper.
If you have high-class pure-bred bulls to
sell you would advertise them in a paper
that is read by great many thousand people
who are interested in building up their dairy
herds.
The average reader is going to say, "But
it costs money TO advertise" Advertising
properly done doesn't cost a cent. 1t is a
money-maker. 1t will make money grow
where there wasn't any. Take those pure
bred bulls as an example again. You put
price on them which reflects very naturally
the local demand for your stock. Very often
your stock is not fully appreciated locally
In fact this is the great stumbling block in
the way Of the young breeder "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own country

and in his own house," and your neighbors
are not likely to pay you anything like the
price you ought to be able to get for your
pure-bred stock.
What 8 the next move?
Advertise them.
By advertising you tap the wider market.
You get next to the real average demand and
you can put price on your purebred bulls
and get it, which will not only pay your
advertising bill, but show you an additional
profit over what you could have gotten had
you sold the animal at home.
One of our editors was asked one time
what to do with the surplus young bulls and
he replied: "Let somebody else feed them. "
He meant reach out for the larger market.
Sell them at profit and let somebody else
buy the grain and use the bull who needs
him.
This talk about the pure-bred animal is
just way of illustrating the point; that you
have surplus goods which are Of little use
to you, which cannot bring you any profit
and that there are within reach of you, il
you use the right advertising methods, very
many people who need those very things and
who would be glad to know you have them
for SALE
Advertising, real advertising, is telling the
truth about the things You have for sale in
such a way as to reach and convince the
people who want to buy those things.
Look over your surplus produce, whatever
it is, that isn't bringing you the profit it
ought to bring, and advertise it. Let some
body know about it that wants it.
Start in easy. Tell the facts in the fewest
possible words and watch results.

THE PLACE FOR FIELD PEAS.

HH Il s will be year of breadth in field
i crops; not only to cereals, but cgumes,
afalfas and grasses. Long established
in the affections Of Canadian farmers, and
less known on this side the line, field peas
are each season given little more consid-
Grafton. For centuries favored crop in
Northern Europe, and long since introduced
in this country from Virginia to the st.
Lawrence River this splendid legume, high
in protein, has much to commend it to
American farmers. Ordinarily used as a
livestock ration, field peas are also to some
extent utilized by Gamers for the cheaper
trade. 1t is a question whether this is wise.
The business in canned goods should be so
fostered and protected that their use will be
doubled Consumers want the best, and
there would seem to be sufficiently wide
outlet in other directions for field peas.

THE GLAMoR OF THE EAST.

VIZ H Y is it that since the beginning OF
w the West, the people of this great
country have always regarded the
East as that section from which comes the
best Of everything' Why is it that the
pioneer idea, that only from the East comes
the superior article, prevails today!
The East has been fetch for too long
Because for many years the West was the
frontier of the Nation, because primitive
conditions prevailed here perhaps longer
than in any other section OF the United
States, is no logical reason for suppOsing that
in the present day it remains behind the East
in progress and in accomplishment. While
the East neither retrogrades nor progresses,
the West is steadily forging ahead, and the
day is not far distant when the East, scorn-
fully called the "effete East" by sectional
Westerners, will be forced to admit herself
outstripped by the virile West
Because the East is forced by the high
price of lumber to advertise the use of con-
crete and steel for many building purposes
where lumber would serve as WE'LL is no
reason why we of the West should succumb
to the wiles of steel interests publicity, with
unlimited forests at our very doors. We are
not denying the superiority Of concrete and
steel construction over wood for permanence
in many instances, but very often wood may
serve the same purpose in constructive work
at a cost far less than steel
Because stump -pullers of many kinds are
manufactured and have been in use in the
East for many years is no reason why they
cannot be made as well, and even better
adapted to local conditions and problems, in
the Northwest
Because we have been buying nationally
advertised breakfast foods manufactured in
Eastern milling cities, does not mean that as
good and even better cereal foods are not
produced in the West. For instance, Pearls
of Wheat, Farina Wheat Eats, Albers
Rolled Oats and other foods placed on the
market in the Northwest are fully as good
as, if not superior to, Cream of Wheat,
Quaker Oats and other widely heralded
breakfast dishes mlled in states to the east.
From building material to breakfast foods
is long call, but it merely illustrates the
wide range of articles in which the North
west can compete with the East. If only the
idea Of Eastern superiority can be eradicated,
the era of Western prosperity is at hand.

Certainly the request for information
Of affairs in Jefferson was reasonable
enough, but it became somewhat I'M
reasonable when taken in connection
with the records of Colonel Pleasant
himself and those made by other at
torney generals who have gone out
and secured themselves the informa.
ton they needed.
But Ruffin Pleasant has always been
cautious. He was so cautious In the
ballot box cases that the decision In
them was not secured for nearly q
year. He was so cautious in the
Tensas case that it became a farce.
He was SO cautious in prosecuting JEFF
ferson malcontents that when some
little underling ordered him from the
grand jury room he went at once and
abandoned the work of securing justice.
1t is unfortunate that Ruffin Pleasant
is constituted as he is. Had he been
a vigorous prosecuting officer, had he
been energetic in the performance and
execution of the duties of his office,
had he been quick to gather evidence
and present it in workmanlike, con-
vincing manner, it is more than likely
that there would have been no neces-
sity for troops in Jefferson Parish, for
with an attorney general who could
prosecute the duties of his Office, it Is
probable that law and order could
have been forced to Jefferson Parish
despite the opposition of the parish
clique.
Yet so far from taking active meas
ures to help the Governor, a member
of whose cabinet he was, Mr.. Pleasant
has chosen for himself the role Of
dallier. Consequently he has been &C
corded the signal honor of having a
reproduction of his features hung up

SUNDAY LAW IN NEW ORLEANS.

day law cannot be enforced in New
Orleans" Mr. Barrett said in his New
Orleans speech rs the influence of

tigers as strong as that?" He said the
Sunday law was enforced in other
cities, and could be enforced in New
Orleans, and the right of men who
labor to one day of rest each week
demanded recognition.
The drink bill of the state was
$45,000,OO0 last year, Mr.. Barrett said
adding that this would have paid the
state debt and taken care Of the
municipal debt of New Orleans. He
said the Gay-Shattuck law was violated
in many ways in New Orleans.
Twenty years ago, when entered
the state senate, you had one saloon
for every forty electors" he said. NOW
you have one for every twenty-seven
or twenty-eight, and there are not so
many voters as there were four years
ago either, from what can hear Why,
you ought to be a rich city For 112
years you have had saloons ad lib. The
only effort ever made to curb them,
the Gay-Shattuck law, has had little
effect. The only reform it has worked
seems to be on the Irish. Now of the
