ADVERTISING ON FARMS. Every Man Who Han liver Tried II Be lieve* Firmly In lit. Pecu niary Value. In nearly every locality, much may be accomplished by advertising what ever we have for sale. Proof of this w ill be found in your own desire to see what others advertise for sale. Per sonally, I am read}- to admit that the advertising columns of any paper al ways have a strong fascination for me, and if 1 see what others offer for tale, others will see what I may have. The local newspapers judiciously used will nearly always bring ample re turns. Neat circulars stating what you have for sale and how it may be obtained, mailed to your customers or to prospective ones, will usually meet a response. A very convenient way, and also one which has brought us very satisfactory results, is the sim ple device of a bulletin board. Re ferring to the illustration, we have "For Sale" and "Wanted" columns, - \ r j THE FARM BLACKBOARD. which words may be lettered perma nently with white paint, or printed with chalk as occasion may require. A very cheaply constructed board (any desired size), may be made as follows: L'se only the best quality of soft-wood lumber, free from pitch and knots. The boards should be evenly cut the desired length (a convenient size is 2'/2 bj' 3 feet), and fastened tightly and firmly together with cleats and screws. The screws should be driven from the back of the board, and should be one quarter-inch shorter than the com bined thickness of the cleat and board, go that they shall not reach through to, and interfere with the surface of the board. The outside cleats should be put on flush, or nearly so, with the ends of the boards; and the center cleat should be cut long enough to ex tend two or three inches above and below the board. A post should be firmly set in the ground to which the board may be fastened by driving screws through the projecting ends of the center cleat into the post any desired height from the ground. This leaves the entire surface of the board free from screws or nails, and it may be put up or taken down at will. To prepare the blackboard for use, take the best grain alcohol and shel lac in the proportion of two parts of the former to one part of the latter; one pint of alcohol to one-half pint I of shellac would doubtless be sufficient. | To this mixture add sufficient of the I best black drop (powder), to give the desired color, whi#h should be a dead black, and one tablespoonful of finely powdered pumice stone. This latter is added to give the mixture sufficient grit to take the chalk freely when thoroughly hardened. Apply with an ordinary paint brush, three or four coats, allowing each application to dry thoroughly before the next is made. This formula has been sold at high prices, but was furnished me by an experienced decorator, and 'pro nounced the best blackboard dressing in the market. Try it on your school blackboards, and save exorbitant charges by one hired to do the work.— Rural New Yorker. Some Unprejudiced Advice. If you have a bright, ambitious, healthy boy who rebels at sticking to i the farm, there is but one word of ad vice to give should you ask what to do to keep him there. Do nothing. Let him go where he wishes or can. Let him battle with the world and find that the old farm has privileges and attractions not found elsewhere. He will come back if he has any business on the farm. If he hasn't he will stand the chances of drifting into the right corner, and at least will not become the worst of all failures—a failure on the farm.—Farm Journal. KillinK Wild Moi-niiiK-Olory. Ihe wild perennial morning-glories or bindweeds are often troublesome pests, very difficult to eradicate. They can be killed out only by persistent cutting as fust as they appear above ground. The main thing is not to al low a leaf to expand, and the roots will become exhausted in time. They pen etrate so deeply that .salt and other weed-killers have little effect, and are able to send up shoots through a very thick covering. Clean and persistent culture is the only practical means of exterminating such plants. Dentroy tlie Vines Now. The best possible disposition that can be made of the melons, squash and cucumber vines is to pull them up, and, when sufficiently dry, pile and burti them. Left upon the ground they be come the shelter and breeding place of the next year's crop of beetle®, and their value for manur# will in no way compensate for the damage accruing If left upon the ground. Better at tend to it at once. —Rural New Yurkif, RENAMING THE BIRDS. Knsllali Nuiucn tiring lilven Some Amrrlran Specif# by 4lie Miil(b*olllau ■ UMltllttOll. "The Birds of North and Middle America," by Robert Ridgvvay, chief ornithologist of the Smithsonian in stitution, is tin' name of one of the most remarkable publications of the new century, says a Washington spe cial t-o the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Some eight months ago, Prof. Bidg way, to employ his own words, realiz | ing the fact that English is fast be j coming the language of commerce all I over the world, and that the demand ! for plain English terms in all walks of life is growing stronger day by j day, decided, that of all sciences, or j nithology ■was one in which English j could be employed to the best advan i tage. He was then preparing the i work above mentioned, which gives a j summary of the birds of North Amer ! ica as far south as Ecuador, and, find | ing that there were some 5,000 spe i cies of birds on this continent, known ! only by their scientific names, of | Greek and Latin derivation, he de | cided in view of the fact that very I few people, aside from ornithologists, are acquainted with birds by their technical names, which are, as a rule, difficult to pronounce, and impossible to remember, to undertake the task of giving English names to all of the aforesaid 5,000 or more species of American birds, popularizing a sci ence that, for this reason alone, has long remained dull and unattractive. The book just published is a monu ment to his forethought, and a thing altogether new in science. In it the North American birds are given by their English names, such as "canvas back duck," "blue jay," "wren," "crow," etc. Prof. Kidgway had to invent English names for the 5,000 birds above mentioned, but so far there have been no criticisms passed on his taste in the matter, a result, no doubt, of his having striven to in vent for each bird a name that would be short, easy to remember, and at the same time appropriate and de scriptive. This is the first, time such a thing was ever undertaken in sci ence, and had it occurred as late even as 50 years ago, it is safe to say that the Latin-worshiping savants of that day and time would have thrown up their hands in horror over such an innovation. The scientific men of this city are, however, rapidly reaching the con clusion that the best way to interest the masses in science is to strip it of its mediaevalism. The result of Prof. Ridgway's work will be watched with interest by Washington scientists, many of whom are in favor ot apply ing the same general principle to zoology, palaeontology and geology and of using English in place of the long Latin names, which very few people care to learn or to remember.
