It takes 14 of these lines, one be- low the other, to make an inch in depth. so if you want to write a 1- inch ady, you must limit yourself to 98 words, but of course yon will want some of the words displayed in large type as headlines, so you will have to allow for the headlines by sub- tracting enough words to equal the space occupied by the display head- lines. For instance, you want
a quarter-inch headline. Now that is equal to four agate lines, so you will have to subtract 28 words from your 98 words, which will leave you but 70 words for your adv. Then if you want another line half as big, you will have to subtract 14 words more, which will leave 56 words, and then it is well to try and condense these 56 words into 40 words, so you can have a little white space, which will set off the display lines to better ad- vantage.
You Can Figure the Cost of Display Advs
For display adys just decide how much space your adv is to occupy, seven lines to a half inch and 14 lines to a full inch. If you want your adv double cohmmm, just multiply by two, that is, 1-inch double column ady con- tains 2 inches of space, or 28 agate lines. Then multiply the number of agate lines in your ady by the price per line.
We'll Help to Write Your Advs if von will tell us just exactly what it is you want to sell, give us full particulars as to prices, etc.
Classified Advs are Money Makers, too
The small Want and For Sale advs in Orange Judd Company's classified ady departments, called the "Farmers' Exchange," "Our Real Estate Mar- ket" and "Our Help Bureau." are often as profitable as display ads for advertising some things they are much more profitable.
If you want to reach your brother farmers and sell them surplus stock. some particular variety of seed. plants, vegetables or berry shrubs, that you have perfected; if you want to sell some of your property. implements or tools that you have outgrown.
Or, if you are in the market for live stock, seeds, plants, second-hand implements, etc .; if you want to buy a few more acres, or a whole farm; or, if you are in want of farm help, or the good wife in want of a hired girl.
Everyone has Something to Advertise at some time or other, if one stops to think. How many articles there are in woodsheds, lofts, lumber rooms and wagon sheds-implements, tools, vchi- cles, farm machinery and even furni- ture-that have not been used for

months, perhaps and which have been replaced by more modern and service- able things, but whose days of use- fulness are by no means over, and which would be eagerly bought by people who have to economize, but who perhaps have just the place for something that you can no longer find use for.
Readers Open Paper at Classified Advs for the value of advertising by the farmer himself is more appreciated today than ever before, the up-to-date agriculturist naturally turning to the advertising columns of his farm paper when he wants live stock, seeds, in- plements or hired men. Then, when he has any surplus stock, produce, or tools that he has outgrown, but which some brother farmer might value, he inserts a small "FOR SALE" adv.
Low Rates for Classified Advs
To find the cost of a classified adv in the Farmers' Exchange. Help Bur- eau and Real Estate Market, you count the number of words, including
your name and address, counting each initial and abbreviation as a word, and then multiply the number of words by 6 cents for the American Agriculturist.
C'ash must accompany the order for both display and Classified advs.
We Guarantee all Our Advertisers
so before we accept an adv from any- one, we require them to give us the full particulars regarding their prop- osition, which we hold as strictly con- fidential, and we reserve the right of rejecting any adv for reasons that may appear satisfactory to ourselves. We do not accept any liquor advs, or any objectionable adys of any kind, medical or otherwise. Write to us freely, ask all the questions you want. You will find an advertisement will "move the goods." Address your let- ters to the Advertising Department.
