As in other lines of work, the first question asked the girl ap plying for a position as clerk is: "What experience have you had?" Therefore, if you live in a Bmall town and have ambitions toward going to a larger city, I advise you to work in your home shops for a few weeks or , months, so that you may truthfully say you havs had experience. Clerk ing in a small general store is a fine experience, for you are not confined to one counter, but learn many different kinds of goods and prices. In a country store you come into closer touch with your employer, are called into consultation when he deals with buyers, and thus you increase your own knowledge of buying, ordering, judging materials and what a good store needs in the way of variety. Because you have this general knowledge, you may advance more quickly in the city. You can fill a vacancy in any department better than the girl trained to sell just one kind of goods. Your experience will stand you in good stead, too, if the time arrives when you can set up your own little shop. In your own town you come in contact with a different type of customers from those in the large cities. The persons who come to you are not professional shop pers, but friends who have faith in your judgment aid who ask you to decide for them. Thus you learn to "size up" customers and study how to please them. Merchants in smaller towns can not depend on tourists and sur rounding towns to relieve them of old stock, but expect their clerks to sell the old stock before the time comes to lay in a new supply. Now, though it is not generally admitted, a clerk's duty is just as much to get rid of slow sellers as it is to sell out Iresh, desirable goods. The more prac tice and success you have in sell ing the former, the more valuable you will be to your employer. "Anyone can sell a customer the the thing he wishes," said a mer chant. "I expect my clerks to sell him .the things we wish sold." BRUSH CREEK. We are still having genuine win ter weather, with plenty of snow and ice.

The introduction of Gluten Feed to the farmers of this coun ty, as noted in the News a few weeks ago, has led to numerous inquiries as to what it is, and how it may be used. In the first place, Gluten Feed is a by product of the factories that make cornstarch, syrup, glucose,, tc., from corn. After having extracted the starch from the grain, there remains the pro tein, which is, indeed, the flesh producing and milk producing part ot the grain, and this is sold to the farmers for feed. In many respects, this feed is superior to the whole gram, and of course, like bran which is a by-product of the miller in the manufacture of flour, is much cheaper than the whole grain. Unlike bran, how ever, it contains so much more of the element that goes . to make muscle and milk. The carload, consisting ot about 17 tons, that Mr. Brewer and his neighbor George Comerer ordered, costs only $31.50 at the station at Mer cers burg. Since the time that carload was ordered, the Feed has slightly advanced, and yet, it is cheap compared with wheat bran, which costs $30 a ton, and Gluten Feed contains just twice the amount of nourishment as bran. . As to the manner of feeding it, Mr. Brewer says that Gluten Feed may be fed alone. Begin by using one pound up to four; or, yon may feed it with wheat bran or oats chop four pounds of gluten to four pounds ot bran or chop; or, to make a more near ly complete balanced ration, 4 lbs. corn chop, 4 lbs. wheat bran, 4 lbs. gluten feed, and all the hay or cornfodder that they will eat up clean. All feed calculations are made upon the basis of 1000 pounds weight, and should be fed in pro portion. A cow in full flow of milk, should be fed the full ra tion, or according to production. Cows and all other animals should have a fair proportion of protein, or nitrogenous food; and, especi ally, cows and young animals should have it with the same reg ularity that the farmer takes his meals. Gluten Feed is the by-product of the Corn Rafimng Companies, with the sugar and the starch taken out, and contains 24 to 27 per cent; 2 per cent fat, and 8 per cent fiber or indigestible matter. It contains about twice the protein in wheat bran, and about three times as much as corn meal. SALUVIA. Mr. D. S. Mellott has been se riously ill for some time. R. R.
