The Use of Paint Lessens Farmer's Cost Of Doing Business The farmer, like the Concrete pAints come both in natural cement color and in several pleasing shades, It is never advisable to try 0 paint an old shingle roof unless it er, must employ the most efficient ‘nd economical methods of doing business if he is to prosper. When he keeps track of costs he finds that by building of better material, buy- ing better implements, and then tak- ing care of them, he increases his power of production and lessens the drain on his income. Next to the purchase of good ma- “terials, the use of good paint is the farmer's best it has been pr painted, because the water gets under the shingles causing them to rot and curl up. It is always well, however, in putting on a new shingle roof to dip the bun- dies into a properly prepared shin- gle stain; this is especially true now- a-days as the quality of shingles is much poorer than formerly. It is good policy not only to pre- vent deterioration with paint but also to forestall paint troubles. The - his property and equipment against the rapid deterioration caused by of all paint troubles is peeling, the chief cause of which is d Wear and The and appearance of barns, fences, windmills, wagons, tanks, etc., are _ just as important as the careful up- keep of factory tools and machinery, and- depreciation here should be fig- ured as carefully by the farmer as by the manufacturer. A few cents invested in paint and @ little work each season will soon show in the lengthened life of your equipment to say nothing of the sat- isfaction you will take in its im- _ proved appearance. Here is a list of paints that it will pay you to keep on hand: Two-quart can of buggy paint in « _* red and black, for painting up wag- ons and buggies. A small can of aluminum paint, for interior iron work, such as stalls, stanchions, etc. . ‘A small can of implement or spar _yarnish. A half-gallon can of metal protec- tive paint, for metal buildings. good graphite paint is best for this purpose. Paint over regularly all such exposed metal parts as hoops, turnbuckles, outside hinges, door- hangers, iron hitching posts, etc. A gallon can of barn color or house color for general repair work. It is well also to periodically treat the inside of staved silos with he _@ special compounds prepared for that ec. > The life of fence posts can be pro- longed three times if the lower part is treated with the compound used on silo staves. This can be most easily done by taking a full barrel of the preservative, putting half in an- other empty barrel, taking the heads cout of both barrels, and letting the fence posts stand in them over night. ‘This treatment will make the poorest yvood Iast longer than the best chest- nut. It has been proved that the paint- ing of good galvanized wire fence doubles its life.

Scott & Bowne, Toronto, ‘Ont Be ant in turn is due to: 1. Dampness In the Wood. This means not only wood which is damp to sight and touch, but wood impro- perly seasoned, recently exposed to rain or fog or dew. The pores in kiln-dried lumber are open and will soak up moisture; for this reason allow a new building to stand a month or two unpainted. ‘In short, if there is moisture in wood, heat will drive it either out or in. If heat on the inside of the house drives it outward the paint will peel. 2. Dampness Back Of the Wood. This is commonly due to green plas- ter. Too often in a hurry to complete a house the painters are put to work on the outside while the plasterers are finishing the Inside. To complete the rush, about the time the paint is dry the furnace is started to dry the plaster. The moisture must find an outlet and is driven out through the exterior woodwork, carrying the coat a of paint with it 8. Ochre Priming Coats. Com- mon ochre is the cheapest pigment, and when one remembers that the priming coat is the foundation on which the finishing coat depends, he does not have to be a paint manu- facturer or dealer to appreciate how absurd fs the statement so often made “Anything is good enough to prime with.” Cheap ochre is nothing but clay stained, which makes a slip- pery, brittle paint. 4. Old Paint Loosely Attached To the Wood and Not Thoroughly Cleaned Away: If old paint is not firmly attached to the wood the con- traction in the drying of the new paint will peel it off. Repaint before the old paint begins to let go. It’s poor economy to delay repainting. In case the under coat is brittle, scrape, sand-paper, and wire-brush all loose particles before repainting. If too far gone remove with a paint- er’s torch. Always remember three thin coats of paint are better than two thick ones, The thick coats may s save a few dollars in the beginning but may cost more than double in the end. 5, Fat Resinous Wood Not Pro- perly Seasoned Or Prepared For Painting.

Lends subject to these regulations are lo- cated in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatcheewan, Alberta and in the Peace River Tract, and the Railway Belt in British Columbia. Lands classified as unsuitable for usual agricultural purposes and suit- able for grazing are leased in blocks up to 25,000 acres, which is the maximum area any person or com- pany may lease. Leases are for per- jods of 10 and 21 years, and the ren- tal is 2 cents per acre per year. Leases may be renewed upon expiry if the land is not required for other purposes. Each lessee must maintain on the land covered by his lease stock owned by himself in the pro- portion of one head of cattle or horse, or five sheep, for every 30 acres leased. Leases may be cancell- ed for non-fulfilment of the regula- tions. Grazing leases are issued only to British subjects. In the case of 4 company the majority of the direc- tors must be British subjects, and the company must be incorporated under Dominion or Provincial laws. Don’t Neglect Painting Up Make the Paint Brush the Partner Of the Scrub Brush In Your Campaign Against Dirt Paint-Up goes hand in hand with Clean-Up. When you have dusted and swept and mopped the corners and the open spaces, put the paint brush to work. It will be easy to keep things clean then, A painted surface does not accumulate dirt like an un- painted one does. Besides, dirt 1s more obvious on a painted sur- face, and less apt to be ignored. Paintliness is the best incentive to cleanliness—which you know is “next to godliness.”” Make the paint brush the partner of the scrubbing brush. They make a whole team. Enlist both of them for Clean-Up and Paint-Up. It doesn’t need much argument to convince a man that his house and his barn and his whole farm will be worth more money if the buildings are kept in the best order. “Why so gloomy, old chap?” “I just heard that my uncle has cut me out of his will.

The First Clean-Up Safety and Fire Prevention In Clean- Up and Paint-Up Campaign Prior to the first Clean-Up and Paint-Up campaign in Cincinnati, the fire loss in a year totaled $1,340,000. The year after the campaign it was reduced to $370,537. This saving of more than $900,- 000 in actual property loss brought about a reduction in the annual in- surance premiums aggregating $160,- 000 in the business section alone. The campaign, which the Chamber of Commerce started, but which was supported by all interests, cost only $10,000, Similarly the city of Decatur, IIl., reported a fire loss of $164,010 dur- ing the year before the campaign. The following year the loss was only $63,467. Fire losses in Rochester, N.Y., also were reduced 40 per cent. after only one Clean-Up and Paint- Up campaign. What a campaign does in the be- ginning is to bring about the clean- ing out of all accumulations or trash—old papers, rags, oily scraps and waste from dark corners, attics, basements and closets of houses, ano the remoyal and destruction of ali rubbish piles outdoors. Records show that 90 per cent. of all fires are pre- yentable and most of them start in just these piles of waste.” Some time ago the Saturday Eye- ning Post printed an article that clearly told of the advantages of a clean town—a town that is a good place to live in and that looks it. The article said, in part. “Materialists—and the Commercial Club is usually 98 per cent. strong on material results—usually overlook the ‘commercial value of the aesthe- tic. A man may live in a pig sty and get used to it; but even he no- tices the difference when he gets out. A. town may be so used f dog fen- nel and ragweed on the streets, and mosquito-breeding ponds along the lower road, and tin cans and rotting rags in back alleys—that it does not have the nerves and blues and chills every time it sees itself. But the stranger who sees it afar off, even from the car window, does not stop unless he is compelled to, and then gets away on the first train. More- oyer, the looks of a town unquestion- ably affect the spirit of the people. And a raggedy town has a raggedy soul. Instead of sweating to aise a $50,000 bonus to hire some alleged manuacturer to come to town, the Commercial Club had better raise $500 to clean up the town and make it fit to come to. “Tt is easy to say that bread is more important than flowers. And it is. The most important things in the world are bread and shelter. But 96 per cent. of the people in the county towns and smaller cities are above the bread line. At least 90 per cent. of them have some luxuries. The first and most important luxury is a pleasant environment. Practic- ally all the people see the town every da: y- "If the streets are clean, the lawns well clipped, flowers in the yard, the air sweet, the water clean —one does not require either wealth, taste or culture to enjoy that. Con- sciously, every person gets some sort of pleasure from a town of that sort. “It makes people want to stay. And when people want to live in a town— when it is so healthy, so attractivee, so pleasant that they love to ge to it and hate to leave—they are going to invent their own occupations and puild their own factories. They will find ways of earning a living.” Vegetable Gardens A vegetable garden, properly cul- tivated in the back yard 25x50 feet, at a cost not exceeding $2.00 for seeds and $5.00 for fertilizer— Will very materially reduce cost of living.
