be congratulated upon the excel
lency of its recent tire advertising
first, because it gets absolutely away
from time-honored ideas in this class
of publicity; second, because of the
originality shown in the design and
plan of using space, and third, be-
cause of the fact that the advertis-
ing renders very beneficial cooper
ative service to dealers handling the
product. While we have commented
favorably upon the improvement be-

ing constantly made in auto adver-
tising, we feel that the latest effort
by the Goodrich people overtops all
such publicity as has appeared so far
in the dailies."
VIM. H. Rankin has steadily and
consistently advocated the use of
newspapers both as a national as well
as local advertising medium, since he
started in the agency business in
1908. In an interview recently he
stated: "Much of the success that
has come to our organization both in
New York and Chicago, has been due
to the fact that years ago we recog-
nized the value of daily newspapers
for national advertising. In 1914
our daily newspaper volume was less
than five hundred thousand dollars
and this year it will exceed two mil
ion and a half, or more than our en-
tire volume of business for 1916.

advertising in newspapers, which we
have handled during the past year,
just like the Goodrich newspaper
campaign, has been one of the most
successful. demonstrations of the
value of national newspaper adver-
tising I have ever known. Needless
to say, Mr.. Kellogg has renewed his
contract with us for another year
and will use more newspaper space
in 1920 than he did in 1919, because
he got results and fine cooperation
and service from newspapers.

75 NOTES

A healthy herd of cattle is the farm
er's working capital.
There is money in good sheep and
very little in any other breed.
Sheep raising does not require ex-
pensive equipment or heavy labor.
Sheep are the sworn enemies of
weeds. Do you keep weeds or sheep?
y
It's mistake to sell the brood SOW
just because she happens to be grown
up.
The amount Of grain to feed hogs
on pasture is about per cent of their
weight.
Look after the brood sow when she
farrows. A little attention will save a
few pigs.
Velvet beans and peanut meal are
used in cattle-feeding tests at the uni
versity of Florida.
Pigs narrowed in January and Febru-
airy should be ready for the October
and November markets.
Feeding and developing pigs after
weaving is a subject in which all pig
club members are interested.
If the calf is to be dehorned the
operation should be performed when
the youngster is between week and
two weeks of age.
Feeding cattle for certain market
will not always pay out; but by stick
ing to it the feeder will come out
ahead in the long run.
In this era of cheap, woven-wire
fences there is no excuse for nasty,
ill-smelling hogyard near the house,
where disease is bred, and the best
fertilizers dissipated into the air.

and the same habit has been recorded
for it in this country. 1t has been
known to deposit eggs on the soiled
rumps of calves as well as sheep, fol-
lowing diarrhea, and occasionally it
infestS wounds on animals.
1t is usually slightly smaller than
the black blowfly and the screw-worm
fly. It's color ranges from brilliant
blush green to dark metallic bronze
green. 1t is without stripes or other
markings.
The adult flies usually appear during
the first warm days of spring and are
present throughout the summer, though
they seldom become as numerous as
the screw-worm fly or black blowfly.
The length of time required for devel-
opment is about the same as that re-
CURED by the black blowfiy. The mag
gets breed exclusively in animal mat
ter.
There are two or more species of
flies of this group which occasionally
breed in living animals, apparently at
lacking only old fostering wounds.
They are Of comparatively little i'm
fortance, and since there are great
number of different kinds of flies Of
this group some of which are not at
all injurious, it is hardly necessary
that the stockmen learn to recognize
them. Their size varies considerably
from a little larger than the common
housefly to somewhat larger than the
black blowf1y. The color is usually uni
formly gray, with black stripes on the
back.
Many of the members of this group.
of flies retain the eggs in the abdo-
men until they hatch, and thus bring
forth living maggots. Those species
which attack living animals breed in
decaying animal matter, and their life
history is almost the same as that of
the screw-worm fly. The flies seldom
become very numerous, and in most of
the cases in which they are found in
living animals they are located in old
fostering wounds or the young are
deposited after sore has become in
tested by screw worms. These flies
seem to be able to withstand the hot,
dry weather Of midsummer in the
Southwest and probably are respon-
sible for many of the cases of infes-
tation of animals during such periods,
