EVERY WISCONSIN
FARMER ADVERTISES

Every Wisconsin farmer is an adver-
tiser, good or bad.
His personality; his power to meet
people pleasantly, and to make friend
Of every neighbor; his reputation for
honesty and square dealing, are valu-
able advertisements.
A well-kept farm is standing adj
vertisement that appears in every IS
sue of the neighborhood life. The rel
atively small amount of labor and
money required to keep a lawn sod
ded, hedge trimmed, or to care for a
grove of shade trees bring returns not
only in advertising, but in pleasure to
the farm family. A whitewashed
chicken house advertises the poultry
and the farm; well-painted barn,
with few trees about it, is an adver-
tisement for the live stock. A trim
farmhouse advertises the farm and
farmer.
Aside from this, advertising in farm
papers, by circulars, On letterheads,
and in local newspapers will often
bring profit. On one farm the produce
for sale may be few bushels of seed
corn;' on another, a purebred calf
Other farms may have an oversupply
of canned fruit, fresh vegetables, or

less regularly. A few locals in the
home paper will move the produce
from others.
The letterhead carrying the farm
name, and catchy picture Of the farm
specially, with a short statement of
what is for sale, is another form of ad-
vertising that will bring good returns
for the money spent. Farmers can get
such letterheads, with envelopes,
from their local newspaper men at sur
prisingly low prices.
Circulars, or dodgers" are also very
inexpensive and are easily distributed
at a farmers meeting, or in town.
The local newspaper offers an op-
portunity for running two or three line
ads among the locals, or low-priced
display advertising that will fall into
the hands of people who are most con-
veniently located, and most likely to
become the farmers permanent GUS
toners.
Advertising can find customers; the
secret of holding them is having the
goods to deliver Only selected stock
should be sold as such. Farmers, as
we'll as manufacturers, need to obey
the pure food law If culls are to be
sold label them plainly "culls." Smooth
potatoes are the only ones that have
a right to leave the farm under the
name of potatoes. Eggs should mean
fresh eggs. Fruit, only such fruit as
is up to high standard. Deliver the
brand on them.

Chicago.-A series of exhaustive ex-

While DR.. Fowzer's claim pertains
only to the chemical properties of the
bomb, the method of loading and shoot

ever, seems to have already been solved
by the government. The containers

annual butterfat production of the
dairy cow is but about one hundred
and fifty pounds. And it has been
said that one-third of all the cows in
Wisconsin are kept at an actual loss
to their owners; one-third just pay
for their keep, and the remaining
third must pay the profits for the
whole immense industry.
A continued drain on it's dairy cat
tie resources has not depleted Wis
consin's breeding herds. Badger
breeders enjoyed a splendid tradei
in dairy cattle from neighboring
states. The demand within Wiscon-
sin has grown to enormous proper
tions, too. Through it all stockmen
have aimed to keep pace with the
calls. With such foundation animals
as are to be found in very large
number of herds throughout the state
there is little danger of depletion.

A HEN AND A HALF.

The Questions and Answers Dept.
of the Times-Picayune solves the
famous old problem, "If a hen and a
half lay an egg and half in day and
a half, how many eggs would six hens
lay in seven days?"
There are two solutions to this prob
lem, proportional solution and logi-
cal solution as follows:
Since IL hens lay / 10 eggs in
l IL days; l IL hens will lay / IL
eggs divided by 1.2 in one day, thus:
! 1-2 divided by IL equals ! egg. II
l IL hens lay one egg in one day, one
hen will lay l divided by 1 1-2 egg,
thus, divided by IL equals 2-3 egg.
If one hen lays 2-3 Of an egg in one
day, 6 hens will lay times as many,
thus: % multiplied by equals 4 eggs.
If 6 hens lay eggs in one day they
will lay seven times as many in seven
days, namely, 2S eggs.
The logical solution is as follows.
Since ! ~ hens lay. 1-2 eggs In l 10
days, the period for laying is SO hours.
In seven days there are 1913 hours,
therefore, 1853 divided by SO equals 4
periods and "a hours over, and as 10
hens lay 1-2 eggs in each period, one
hen will lay / egg. Then If / hen lay
/ egg a period, 6 hens will lay eggs,
and four times as many in four periods,
"a eggs.
In the logical solution, So hours being
the laying period, it is presumed that
the hens do not lay any eggs during
the "a hours over.

Flies Of Importance to Stock Raisers

There are some artificial remedies
that can be provided for by man that
will aid in freeing work animals Of the
pests. The following are few rene
dies that have proved beneficial.
The use Of fly nets and burlaps are
good mechanical means of keeping
flies from bothering stock while at
work.
Horsehies have the habit Of flying
over bodies of water and dipping down
to take sip of water Large numbers
have been killed by applying kerosene
to ponds. The oil kills them.
The method most generally used is
the application to the stock of some
oily or ill-smelling substance for the
purpose of repelling the flies. There
are some good prepared mixtures on

MISTAKES" oFTHE FATHERS.
With what a sense Of shame and
must the militarists look
upon the founders Of this government,
when they view TIE three.thousand-
mile boundary between the United
States and Canada. Not fort along
the whole line; not battleship on the
Great Lakes; and here we sit supinely,
a nation of mollycoddles, not knowing
what moment the Canadians may rush
in upon us. And what stimulus to
business it would have been, had the
frontier, like that between France and
Germany, been fortified. We could have
spent billions of dollars in forts and
battleships, and employed hundreds of
thousands of men. All these blessings
are denied us simply because the
Fathers of the Republic cravenly agreed
with the British to leave the inter
national boundary unfortifed.

happily. ut will be loads Of fun!"
"Son, you are old enough to decide
for yourself, and l won't say you may

the decision entirely with you"
But you don't want me to go?" said
the boy reluctantly.
you've heard my objections, but, as
you say, it's not wrong, and you are to
decide for yourself"
81 wish you would not put it that
way. want to go so much; it will be
such jolly crowd and they will have
a splendid time. Please say you think
it will be all right"
"Son, don't want to preach at you,
and don't want to prejudice you in
your decision, but l want to remind
you of one thing. This is not ques-
tion of good or bad; it is a question be-
tween good and best. If it was the
question of right or wrong, know you
wouldn't hesitate; in fact, think there
would only be a little temptation for
you. 1t Is In choosing the best that
the test comes.
$50 many Of us are satisfied If we
just crawl out Of the muck of wrong,
and don't try to climb up to the hills of
better and best. The world, as rule,
Is satisfied with the merely good. So
the sacriflce-for in choosing the best
we usually have to make some sacrifice
seems to be unnecessary. But every
time you have chance to choose, and
you choose the best, your character
grows little stronger, purer, and
higher. And when you decide that the
merely good is sufficient, your charac-
ter softens a little.
sometimes men are made famous
in a moment by the hard choice of the
best; famous men have been ruined by
failing to take the highest way. The
law may make you choose the good,
but only with the help of God can you
choose the best"
There was silence in the room for a
few minutes; then the boy heard the
shrill whistle of his chum, and hurried
out to answer It,
The man sat and wondered; but the
boy did not go.
