shook her fist Mt him.

Monarch's Hobby Is Botany.

King Ferdinand of Bulgaria Is said
to have one redeeming virtue. He Is
considered the best botanist In eastern
Europe. At his summer residence
just under Musalla, the highest peak
of the Rhodope range, he has, or used
to have, wonderful rock-garden
where not only Alpine and sub-Alpine
plants are grown, but even representa-
tive specimens from England, as well
as many rare native Bulgarian noun
tain plants. These last have peculiar
scientific interest. for, while some Of
them are mere varieties Of Carpathian
or Alpine types, others correspond
closely to those Of the Caucasus and
Asiatlc highlands-thus dating from
a period before the two continents
were divided by the DardaneDes-
while few others, like the lovely Buls
garian gentian, are indigenous flowers
not found elsewhere. But summer
succeeds so quickly to the time OF
melting SHOWS that the full glory OF
spring flowers on the Rhodope range
is seldom seen except by the shep.
herds Of the mountain pastures.

READ lads" 10 KEEP POSTED
Manufacturers and Dealers Have Much
to Tell the Public, Through the
Newspaper Columns.

Keep posted-for conditions are
changing from day to day and the

Save tlme-for time, your time, the
clerks time, the dealers time, the
manufacturers time, Is the nations
most important asset.
Manufacturers will necessarily have
to curtail their statesmen on the road.
and the only substitute for statesmen
is silent craftsmanship" l. e., printed
advertising. Therefore retailers will
be asked to send their orders for mer-
chandise by mail, and the best way
for manufacturers to make thousands
OF calls on retailers without employ
ing statesmen Is through printed adj
vertlsing.
Advertising, too. must be used to
tell you why you cannot buy certain
goods, and to continue the good will
and trademark value of such manu-
facturcrs In the minds of the con-
sumer and the dealer so that, after
we win the war, the sale of such prod
ucts can he increased and multiplied.
mobiles have been sold or offered for
sale In Great Britain, yet the manu-
facturers OF automobiles have con-
tinued their advertising unabaAd
with the foil approval of the govern
ment, and their good will and stand
ing with the buyers will be 100 per
cent after the war, rather than, say,
10 per cent II they had discontinued
their advertising.
So read advertisements to keep
posted as to what to buy and also to
be informed why you cannot buy GER
tain brands OF goods because their
manufacturers are devoting all OF
their time to building war products to
help win the war, and keep Il warm
spot IN your heart for the goods no
longer available on the dealers
shelves, because they, too. like our
/ boys overseas, will "come back" after
the war and renew old friendships,
and we want to be ready with our vic
tory celebration and say "Welcome
home again. advertised product-your
company did good work for Uncle
Sam and we are going to show our
appreciation by buying even more Of
such products than before the war;"
In that way the advertisers good
will will be maintained and he will
draw dividends In increased sales
after the war to make up for the loss
Of trade during the war.

winterIno Idle Horses,

At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less Idle. Since
Idle horses give no return in labor
performed, the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper care
should be taken Of the animals In or
der that they may be In the best pos
sible condition for work In the early
spring.
Horses should not be confined to the
barn during the winter on a liberal
supply of grain. 1t Is far better to
rough" them through the cold months.
They should be given the run of the
yard or lot during the day. This should
be provided with protected shed. one
that is thoroughly dry and well pro-
vided with bedding. While nature
does her part ana protects the horse
with heavy coat of hair during the
cold months, the shed Is necessary In
order to afford the requisite shelter
and protection against rains, snow,
and cold winds. Winter winds come
mostly from the north and northwest,
and the shed should be so situated
and constructed as to give the proper
protection from this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses high
priced feed should be avoided In order
to keep them in proper condition at
the lowest cost 1t has been found
that idle horses do very well on a win
ter feed consisting of all the hay. oat
straw, cornstalks, or sorghums they
Will consume. SO that little grain is
necessary. Idleness also permits of a
more thorough mnsticatlon of the feed,
thus insuring proper digestion.
