SiIage Substitute for Farms

| On smaller farms, or where ther,
is no silo, root crops, such a.
mangels, rutabagas and stock
carrots, may be used with profit a:

almost entirely with machine labor
Roots require a good deal of hand
labor, but entail little or no extra
expenses for machinery.
Ten tons of roots per acre
about the amount that can be
grown on land that will yield fifty
bushels of corn to the acre is not a
profitable crop, but 20, or even Is,
tons may easily be secured under
good management, and will pay
well.
Experience shows that a definite
system of cropping should be ar
ranged so that one may be prepar-
ing for his root crop a year or more
ahead. Heavy manuring, followed
by crop of potatoes that can be
cultivated with horse labor, will
result in good crop of potatoes,
will enrich the soil, destroy weeds,
and leave the soil in good shape
tor a root crop.
Mangels, as rule, are the best
roots to grow. They should be
planted in rows from 2 feet to 80
inches apart, to allow for cultiva-
tion with horse. From 8 to IL
pounds of seed will be required for
an acre. The seed should be
planted about complaining time,
or very soon after, on deep -plowed,
thoroughly disked and pulverized
soil. The cultivation at first can
be done with a wheel hand hoe,
later with a horse and fine tooth |
cultivator. When the plants are
from to 3 inches high, they
should be thinned by chopping
of the row with good
sharp hoe, leaving little punches of
plants from six to 10 inches apart.
These punches should then by hand

EFFICIENT PUBLICITY

The idea is entertained by som
of the older type of merchants tha
the good repute of their firm i
spread from mouth to mouth il
conversation, and that they do no
need to advertise in the newspapers
That condition may have pre-
vailed many years ago when people
had nothing else to do but gossip
about their neighbors. In those
times everyone discussed all of his
home purchases with all his neigh
bors.
Today man who depends upon
conversation and gossip to spread
the news of his store will not find
that his place of business is much
frequented. People do not ex-
change information about their
domestic habits as they used to.
You have little idea whether your
neighbors buy their goods of Smith,
Jones or Brown. The world is full
of wide interests and the bargains
one may find in a certain store are
ordinarily known only to those
who find them.
The newspaper is the only
efficient means of acquainting the
public with the business news of
the town. For one person that
will learn something about given
store by word or mouth, a hundred
learn about it through newspaper
notices.
The advertising columns of a |
newspaper are read just as atten-
lively as any sensation that may
appear in the news columns.
The results of the two policies
are obvious. In one case mer-
chant drags along, with only a
small part of the community know
ing anything about what is happen
ing in his store.
In the other case, practically
everybody knows when that mer-
chant has special bargains, and
what can be done in his store at
any given time.
Can there be the least question
as to what kind of merchants get
the business?

Two Very Poor Reasons

cream Of tartar.
There is no longer any reason
for Lack Of knowledge, since the

shows in plain English just what
1t contains. If the label on
your can names alum as one Of the

about its ealthfulness, your
doctor can enlight en- you.
AS to the lower cost, there is
very little difference in prac-
