Even Kicks Help

So we are led to believe that even criticisms about
us in the columns of newspapers is good advertising, and
so with the retail merchant, the minute he starts figuring
on selling merchandise, he has got to start figuring on the
advertising that is going to do it.
Advertising certainly has many sides. 1t can scream,
talk or whisper, it can attract the eye or befuddle it; 1t
can be an interesting story or undressing piff1e. There
are Just as many kinds Of advertising as there are things
to advertise. There is the sincere kind that breathes
honesty and truthfulness, and which carries the reader
right through to the end, and then again-there is the
kind of advertising that says, Beware, Pm just trying to
attract attention: | don't mean what | say, and | don't IN
tend to make good on the extravaganza claims | am talk
ing about"
Newspapers, however, are not in the habit Of pub
fishing misleading advertising, and for that reason the
public has unlimited confidence in newspaper advertis-
ing.
The retail merchant who will figure on spending two
per cent Of his gross receipts for newspaper advertising
and one half of one per cent for direct mail advertising
such as letters, post cards, ETC., and prepare his advertis-
ing the same as if he were talking to his customers when

Proper Fall and Winter Poultry
Management Will Increase
Your Profits
by ]. w. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert
lasp ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The fall is the time to prepare for
winter. There is much to do. Broken
window lights, cracks or knotholes
in the walls or roof of the poultry
house did not make so much differ
ence in the summer time, but all
these together with any similar de-
fects, must now be remedied at
once. Colds and roup are the result
of drafts and dampness during cool
weather.
Fall Management
The poultry house should always
be thoroughly renovated and cleaned
out Just before cold weather sets in.
Remove all the old litter and also
three or four inches of the top OF an
earth floor, and replace this with
fresh, untainted material. This is
very desirable in keeping the poultry
house fresh and sanitary, and pre-
vents disease germs from lurking
around from year to year. Burn all
the old nesting material as well as
litter. Take the roosts and nests TO
the outside OF the building and give
them a good scalding and scrubbing
with boiling hot water to which has
been added a good disinfectant. This
will not only cleanse them from dirt
and filth. but will also kill vermin
and disease germs. If the house is
10 be whitewashed, now is the time
to do it.
Poultry House Must Be Clean
Light, clean and CHEEKY quarters
will have good effect on your
poultry 1t will have a sanitary and
antiseptic effect as well.
The breeders and roOsting coops
that were used during the past
summer should now be thoroughly
| cleaned and disinfected and stored
away indoors for use next season
! Being exposed to the weather they
! will warp, crack and lose much OF
heir value.
The trees are row shedding their
foliage and the practical poultry
keeper viii find good use for the
lean crisp leaves, and viii store
away as many as he can use during
Tue winter as bedding fer the poultry
louse. They also provide excellent
litter for the fowls to scratch in.
Lay in a supply Of dirt before win
Ter sets in. This can be used tr
make dust baths for the Birds during
i he winter, and also used under the
,erches. 1t forms an excellent alb
,orbent and deodorizer, and wher
,prjnkled over the dropping boards
;revents the droppings from stickin'

Take good care OF the early
