economy to make the best use Of the
skim milk available. Experiments
have proved conclusively that where
sufficient skim milk is available to
furnish the protein content Of the
ration to balance up corn, It IL not

any kind of high protein concentrates
to growing pigs.
The proper proportion In which to
feed skim milk and corn for the best
results, is from one to three pounds
of the skim milk to one pound Of corn
meal, using the larger proportion of
milk when the pigs are young, and
gradually increasing the amount OF
corn meal in proportion to milk used.
For young pigs. the ration win be

In some country of the spirit, in some
Arden of the west;
But when troubles cloud my sunshine
and the cares are storming round,
I'd be glad for old Virginia, just tc
touch her holy ground.
Oh, Virginia, are you singing in your

The other day a merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his home
newspaper. II the mans view were
not distorted, he would see that he
couldn't afford not to advertise. Re-
fusing to advertise is his most expen-
sive extravaganza. That same mer,
chant will spend hours telling Of the
unfair" competition of the mail-order
houses who are his most aggressive and
dangerous competitors, yet the methods
employed by the mail-order houses
which succeed are the very ones which
the merchant refuses to use. The
mail order-house first of all is an AD-
VERTISER. Advertising is the life
of its business. Every magazine that
enters the small town and rural home
carries the ad of the mail-order house.
Expensive catalogs are printed showing
the illustrations of the actual articles.
Occasionally sheets are scattered broad
cast over the country as a special
come on for the bargain hunter.
Instead of doing these things in q
smaller way through the columns of his
local paper, the merchant who can't
afford to advertise sits down and t'cus-
ses" his tough luck and wonders why
he can't get the business. He never
thinks he has better opportunity to
reach the people in his neighburhood
than the mail order house has. 1t
doesn't cost him as much as it does the
outsider; he can draw the people to his
store and show them the actual article
he is advertising, and, when they buy,
they can take their purchase home with
them instead of having to wait for
several weeks for it. Advertising is
an investment. 1t should be charged
to your selling cost. Figure what per.
centage you have to pay to advertise,
then base fifty-two weeks campaign
on the computation. You can't lose.
