illustration,  but  this  is  greatly  exceeded 
in  many  cases  in  authentic  official  tests, 
and  when  one  buys  a  sire  from  one  of 
these  great  line-bred  herds  with  high  re¬ 
cords,  one  must  pay  the  price.  When 
one  has  a  sire  carrying  such  great  influ¬ 
ence,  he  should  be  kept  for  years  as  are 
the  siyes  in  these  herds,  and  not  even  ex¬ 
changed,  to  “nick"  the  influence,  as  new 
blood  is  diffusion  of  influence.  A  sire 
near  me  now  over  Id  years  of  age.  has 
headed  the  one  herd  out  of  which  nearly 
a  half  score  of  the  world’s  most  noted 
cows  have  sprung  and  1(X>  pounds  a  day 
and  4%  per  cent,  fat  still  appear.  No, 
not  every  cow  so  bred  will  be  a  great 
cow,  maybe  a  blank,  but  many  will  be 
the  increasing  better  ones,  to  prove  the 
rule.  j.  a.

of  fine  old  barns.  Your  name  and  ad¬ 
dress  may  be  kept  in  small  type,  and 
small  type  used  for  the  text  or  body 
matter  of  the  advertisement.  In  classi¬ 
fied  advertising,  however,  often  no  head¬ 
lines  or  display  other  than  capital  letters 
of  the  text  type  will  be  allowed.  How¬ 
ever,  as  people  are  trained  to  consult 
many  of  the  classified  departments,  dis¬ 
play  is  not  so  necessary  there  as  el.se- 
where.  You  have  often  marveled  at  the 
meaning  that  can  be  put  into  the  10 
words  of  a  telegram.  It  may  not  be 
necessary  to  be  quite  so  brief  in  adver¬ 
tising  as  we  are  in  the  writing  of  tele¬ 
grams,  but  the  idea  is  the  same.  “Money 
back  if  dissatisfied”  means  practically 
the  same  as  “If  you  are  not  entirely 
satisfied  when  you  see  these  goods,  just 
write  us  to  that  effect  and  we  will 
cheerfully  l’pfund  all  the  money  you  have 
paid.”  Every  one  thinking  of  advertis¬ 
ing  should  obtain  and  read  some  of  the 
books  that  are  devoted  to  advertising 
work  and  the  writing  and  printing  of 
advertising  matter.  These  will  give  much 
valuable  general  information. 
Profits  in  Advertising. — It  is  in¬ 
evitable  that  many  advertisements  will 
prove  unprofitable.  No  one  can  predict 
in  advance  exactly  bow  much  return 
there  will  be  from  a  given  form  of  adver¬ 
tisement.  Sometimes  an  advertisement 
that  did  not  seem  particularly  promis¬ 
ing  will  yield  unusual  returns,  while 
another  that  seemed  to  have  much  in  its 
favor  will  pull  poorly.  Sometimes,  too. 
advertisements  that  at  first  brought  few 
returns  will  continue  to  bring  inquiries 
and  to  make  sales  for  a  long  time.  The 
man  who  is  not  persistent  and  who  is  not 
willing  to  make  hi.s  mistakes  teach  him 
something  would  better  not  Start  adver¬ 
tising.  Even  when  an  inquiry  has  been 
received,  it  is  usually  necessary  to  solicit 
the  inquirer  a  number  of  times,  to  “fol¬ 
low  him  up”  as  advertisers  express  it, 
before  an  order  is  received.  Usually 
“follow-ups”  are  sent  about  10  days  or 
two  weeks  apart.
