LAMBS NEED SOME EXERCISE
Bunshine and Open Air Will Prove of
Qreat Benefit to th? Youngster,
snd Also to His Mother!
The man who has a grassy lot on
the southern slope of a hill should
turn all his young lambs and their
mothers Into this lnclosure during
their first weeks. The lambs should
have a chance to stretch their young
limbs. They will do' far better, and so
Wool and Mutton Breed.
will the ewes If turned into the open
during the hours of daylight
There are many farmers who keep
their lambs and ewes housed up until
the pasture Is long enough to turn
them in permanently, says an Indiana
writer In the Farm Progress. Even
though the lambs are very young, a
long sun bath daily will work wonders
with them. It will be good for the
ewes, and still better for the lambs.
If possible, the southern side of the
sheep barn should be utilized for this
purpose, as it will keep the young
sters out of the wind most of the
time.
Play Is the very blood of the young
lamb, an! when he ia playing he is
growing. If he lies down In the wind
he will chill easily, so the southern
hillslope for the pasture lot In the lee
of the barn will make an Ideal place
for him to spend the days while he Is
waiting to be turned Into the summer
pasture.
Toung life needs exercise if it is to
do well. The lambs that are kept In
the shed from the time they are
dropped until they are a few weeks
old will get a bad start It is mistaken
kindness to house them in close Quar
ters when their young legs are aching
to be out in the open. They will be
far more thrifty if allowed to spend
hours in the sunshine. Of course,
they must be sheltered on rainy, chilly
days, and in long periods of cool
da sop weather when the wind is high.
It takes some time and a good deal
of trouble to shift the ewes and lambs
from their quarters In the shed to
the lota and back again dally. In
freedom from diseases, quick growth
and general vigor it will be worth all
that it costs the shepherd. V)
FEED MAKES PIG PROFITABLE
Good Feeder Keeps Improving Hla
Herd In Quality and Individuality i
—Good Ration Counts.
There are too many fanners and
even breeders who seem to hold the
Idea that a pic can feed himself and
that their whole duty ends when they
have supplied the food. A good feed
er can keep improving his herd m
quality and Individuality and is there
fore progressive and successful, while
the poor feeder may take the beet to
be had, and In five generations be back
to scrubs. This Is the difference be- I
tween good feeding and poor feeding.
This is where the feeder has more
influence than the feed.
It Is a clean waste to give the pig
SO or 90 per cent of his feed In corn
or meal when perhaps not more than
one-half that amount Is needed In
bolldlng-the various structures of his
body. The balanced ration Is what
counts. That Is Intended to be com
posed of such materials as are needed
by the pig to build all of his growth, I
to furnish the bone and the muscle,
and all parts in proper proportion, it
la shown time and again that two val
uable feeds, when combined, make a
better feed than either one separately,
because It comes nearer balancing tbe
ration.
It Is only of late that the opinion
la spreading among fanners fat general
that the feeder Is one of the Important
factors, both in the success of a breed
er and also that of a pork raiser. The
modern hog Is an artificial product,
and Is mors readily responsive to good
treatment, or the reverse, than any
other farm anlmaL Ho matter bow
msch yon may pay lor pedigree or
individuality. If yon do not know bow
to feed your bogs will be bet little bet
tar than scrubs.
Uncomfortable Sheep.
If the sheep Is warm and uncomfort
able, It does aot eat well. And If It
does not eat well It produces neither
Seah nor a good loose. Many people i
wonder why their sheep do not pro- |
duoesuch beery isscs as they aeed to
produce. The bousing will enable one
to answer that question In many casss,
though of coarse the method of bow
ing cannot account for it an.

CHURCH SHOULD ADVERT'St
Clergymen Should Adopt Modsrs
Method* to Fill Empty Pev»s,
Declarsa Preacher.
By REV. FRANK E. EBRIGHT,
[Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Whlteetpne, L. I)
If any one has common sense he
ought to use 4t. This is just as Im
portant In the ministry as In busi
ness, finance, politics or war.
People who are In a rut make no
progress. Those who are stupidly
following prejudices, sentiment or
the exploded notions of their grand
fathers are not progressive.
If a clergyman finds his audience
Is small it Is .his duty to find ways
and means to fill the empty pews. If
a department store can fill Its aisles
by announcements In the press. If doc
tors can spread the teachings of clean
liness and hygiene through the col
umns of newspapers and If theaters
can be filled by billboard announce
ments—then we bave a set of facts
which a minister of the gospel may
well consider.
If there Is a lesson for him to learn
from this he IS stupid not to learn It.
.This is an age of the printing press
and the dissemination of knowledge
through type and white paper. Is
there any sound reason why a pro
gressive clergyman Bhould not' resort
to these modern instruments of pub
licity to fill the empty pews In his
church?
If then, we are agreed that the pub
licity of the printing press Is legiti
mate and effective, why should clergy
men not make use of it? I can see
nothing but a purely sentimental ob
jection. The medical profession,
bound by ancient traditions, has felt
it "unethical" to advertise —but this
stupid superstition Is being broken
down by the really Intelligent men of
the profession. The day will come
when all progressive clergymen will
feel as I do that every legitimate In
strument must be used to draw the
attention of mankind to the greatest
and most profound business of all—
the saving of men's souls.
When I took charge of the Epworth
Methodist Episcopal church at White
stone, Long Island, I found the audi
ence smaller than they should be. I
reasoned that It was my duty to In
crease these congregations by attract
ing attention to the church. The first
advertisement that I published In
creased the attendance in my church
one-third; and I feel that my convlo
tlons have been amply Justified.
WANAMAKER ON DAILY ADS
Advises Merchants to Us* Newspa
pers as Beat Means of Reach
ing the Public.
John Wanamaker gave frank and
earnest counsel, the result of his life
time of experience In successful mer
chandising, at the opening of the pur*
food exposition in Philadelphia recent
ly. Mr. Wanamaker urged especially
the absolute necessity of newspaper
advertising for an expanding trade and
told of the remarkable results that
can be accomplished by proper pub
licity.
"The first necessity to success In re
tall trade," Mr. Wanamaker said, "ts,
of course, good merchandise. Quite as'
much a necessity to a business that Is
to keep up a healthy growth Is good
advertising. If you have in your shop
exactly what 600,000 people In this city
want, but only 600 of them know that
you have It, the care and energy you
have expended In maintaining a stock
of high quality do little good either to
your customers or to your own busi
ness.
"The satisfaction of knowing that
your name standa for good merchan
dise Is a great thing certainly, but It Is
not apt to be greatly profitable unless
the public at large knows It also. And
the profit of Judicious and well-Justi
fied advertising does not exist merely
for the large merchant A large news
paper advertisement undoubtedly at
tracts attention, and If It Is attractive
ly put K holds attention.
"But there are hundreds of small
dealers throughout the.city who would
find upon experiment that newspaper
advertising Is the most powerful of all
means for Increasing their trade.
"A business association as such can
make use of newspaper advertising to
Increase the trade of Its individual
members and the Increase Is such as
would surprise you. Business men
should mark each other up. Instead of
marking each other down."
Ths force of good edvertlslng

NEWSPAPER HABIT
AN AMERICAN ONE
Press Best Advertising Medium
Because of Its Intimate Re
lations With the Home. '
By TRUMAN A DE WEEBE. ►
"The newspaper habit" Is an Amer
ican habit. In the old world countries
newspaper reading is confined to the
I educated and prosperous tew. If you
I step Into a street car In the average .
American city you wUI see a sight
that cannot be seen in any other coun
j try on the globe—every Individual de
vouring the contenta of a newspaper.
The newspaper Is their only source ot
Information on all the Interests and
activities of life.
| In advertising it Is the constant
pounding that wears away the bar
i rlers ot doubt and Indifference. It Is
1 the frequent repetition ot names and
products that Indelibly Impresses them
| upon human memory and finally cre
ates a favorable attitude toward the
products advertised. The repetition
of selling arguments Is the lite ot ad
vertising. Suppose a manufacturer or
I merchant has an Important announce
| ment to make regarding a commodity.
He very carefully and laboriously
groups the argument In logical se
quence, presenting a compact, com
plete presentation of his proposition.
It Is the result of much study and re
vision. The advertisement is sdrely
a work of art. In order to get In all
the selling arguments he finds he will
need halt a page in the newspaper.
He concludes to make "a complete
job of It," so he runs It one time on
a half page and pays for what he
things Is a big Investment in pub
licity.
Of course he accomplishes nothing.
[ He has followed the example of the
small boy who touched off a wagon
load of fireworks all at onee. He has
> made a "flash." As s display of pub
i llclty pyrotechnics it is dazzling, but
I It Is not advertising. It Is contrary
to the most elementary principles of
advertising.
If he had understood the srt of ad
vertising he would have taken one
selling argument at a time and ham
mered It home from day to day
through, constant Iteration and reiter
ation. One-time advertising or "spas
modic advertising" Is a waste of
money, no matter how large the space
or how compactly It Is filled. It Is
constant repetition that gradually
fixes a trademark or firm name In the
human miqd, and It Is constant repe
tition that associates certain qualities
and uses with that trademark or
name.
I Now, If advertising Is repetition of
I selling arguments, then the newspa
per Is an advertising medium par ex
cellence, for It permits of dally repe
tition In a vehicle that sustain* Inti
mate relation to the home-. It comes
Into- the family circle every morning
or every evening. It knows your
friends and your neighbor's friends.
It chronicles events and activities
that are closely related to their Inter
ests. Its columns pulsate with the
social and Industrial life of the com
munity In which your customers live-
It carries the news of the town Into
the home of the dealer who sells your
goods. Knterprise Is a contagious
thing, and If your dealer sees your
advertisement In his home paper
every day. It awakens In blm a spirit
of cooperation. He finds himself un
consclouiily absorbing your selling
arguments until he can „ talk the
product as well as yon can. The
newspaper has chronicled the do
ings of his family for genera
tions. The files of the paper contain
bis family history, the weddings, the
deaths, the anniversaries. It Is bis
source of Information regarding his
party, bis church, his lodgs. It is be
cause of this Intimate relation to the
home that the newspaper occupies a
field of Its own as a medium. Indis
pensable to the advertiser who must
have a wide distribution for his pro
ducts In order to secure the volume of
business that will yield a profit on his
investment
Secretlvs Advertising.
A prominent store In an eastern city
has found It good business to keep the
dates of its special sales secret until
Its customers ask for them. During
the preparation of these sales, how
ever. there Is plenty of publicity given
them, tbs store's advertising telling
everything except the date. Up-to-the
minute merchandise Is used In tbe win
i dow displays, and with It are placed
cards bearing tbs legend. "Special sale.
Inquire date inside." This method is
found not only to arouse Curiosity sad
to help business at the sales, bat to
encourage buying ou tbe part of cus
tomers who come In only with the In
tention of ssklng the date.
Meeting Competition.
Aa enterprising young florist. In or
der to Increase bis trade, displayed
this sign In his window;
"We give a packet of flower seeds
with every plant."
His competitor across the street
promptly sought to meet tbe competi
tion by placing In hla window the fol
lowing announcement;
"We give tbe earth with every
plant."—Everybody's Magaxlne.

STRICT LAWS OF THE SEA
Mariners, Acoordlng to Old Portu
gusss Manual, Sssmed to Have
Little Rights on Shipboard.
- Some remarkable advice to seafar
ers is given In an old Portuguese book,
published for the guidance ot marin
ers. Amongst other things it deals
with the rights of captains to aaaault
sailors, and the methods In which ths
attacks are to be legally met
I The sailor is advised to bear calmly
any verbal abuse that an Irate skip
per may hurl at him, but If words
passed to blows he was to run away
Into the bows and firmly take his
stand beside the anchor chain.
Should an Infuriated master, armed
with a belaying pin or other lethal
weapon, chase him to his stronghold,
the mariner was to slip round to the
farther side of the chain. Bhould he
still be pursued, he was to call his
messmate to witness that the master
had broken the rules by circumvent
ing the chain.
Then, at last, he was to defend
himself—and let us hope he would do
It welll Other little matters of dis
cipline are set out, and they show a
noble effort to make the punishment j
fit the crime.
The ship's clerk, a privileged per
son who acted as bookkeeper, purser,
and cargo-master, was liable to be
branded In tbe forehead, to lose his
right hand, and to forfeit all his prop
erty If he made a wrong entry In the
ship's book, or connived at such an
entr)r.
A seaman who fell asleep on his
wktch was only put on a diet of bread
and water, unless the offense was
committed tn hostile waters. In that
case he must be stripped naked,
flogged by his messmateß, and ducked
thrice In tbe sea.
If he were an officer, however, he
would only lose all food except his
bread, and have a pall of water flung
over htm from the head downwards.
What Bhe Meant
The tocsin had sounded and the
dogs of war had been unleashed. Tho
national guard had been ordered to
ho front, and Colonel Rounder's wife
sat across the breakfast table pensive
ly gazing at her husband.
"Oeorge." she said, "don't you think
you'd better —"
"Resign?" the colonel broke In.
"What nonsense, my dear. Tou should
be made of sterner stuff. Women In
war-time should be heroes, putting
their country's good before the fear
of personal loss."
"That Isn't what I was going to ask,
Oeorge," his wife replied. "I was Just
going to ask I*you hadn't better make
sure that your life Insurance dues are
all paid."
Motions Mlsundsrstood.
An organ grinder had been playing
before the house of an Irascible old
gentleman, who furiously and amid
wild gesticulations ordered him to
move on.
The Italian stolidly stood his ground
and played on, and at last was arrest
ed for causing a disturbance. In tbe
court the magistrate asked him why
he did not leave when be was request
ed.
"Me no understan' mooch Ingelese,"
was the reply. •"
"Well, but you must have under
stood by bis motions that be wanted
you to go." said the magistrate.
"I tlnk he corns to dance," was tbs
rejoinder.

Aa to the age limit of profitable egg
production there are many exception*
to this rule. Some hens are never

may be profitable for years. I have a
three-fourths grade Brown Leghorn
that Is nearly six years old and she
has not stopped laying since early last
spring long enough to hatch a brood
of chickens, says a writer In an ex

was given eggs, but she sat but a few
days until ehe quit her nest and wgf
laying again In a short time. She haf
been almost a continual layer up to
this date, and is still laying. Huch
of the time she laid an egg every
day.

but constantly striving for better re
sults and larger profits. Two and ,
three dollars per fowl Is a possible
profit and Is being attained by some
men In the poultry business today.

INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS
Pulling and Eating of Each Other's
Feathsrs May Be Cured by Al
lowing Them Free Rang*.
Sometimes a flock of hens acquire
the habit of pulling and eating each
other's feathers, in some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
become torn and sore, and the whole
flock Is nearly naked. '
When they first show the signs of
this vice measures should promptly
be taken to cure them.
The trouble Is caused by too closely
confining the fowls and allowing
them to be idle. Where possible they
should be turned on the range where
the fascination of chasing bugs and
eating the green stuff will make them
forget the bad habit.
When they cannot be turned out
they should be made to scratch for j
their grain in deep* litter. Bundles
of wheat or oats, or sunflower beads
may be hung up Just high enough
that they will have to work to get the j
seeds. Give them some turnips or'
mangle beets or cabbage heads to
work at—anything to keep them In
exercise and busy. Teed them plenty
of green food, meat, meal, beef scraps
and green cut bone.
Rub carbolated vaseline on the
trucked fowls where the feathers
have been pulled out.
