The way 10 reckon the cost Of paint
Is tO put both costs together: the cost
of the paint and the cost of putting il
ON.
IL would save this country hundreds
Of millions Of dollars a year; il would
save you alone (if you happen 10 be
victim) several dollars year.
See how il works. 1t costs as much
10 put-on one paint as another, don't
it3
Yes, if you use the same number Of
gallons
Well, dOntI2
No, you'll use twice as many gal
Ions Of adulterated paint as Of De-
voc; and you've got TO pay twice as
much for putting il on.
Mr. y. Avery, Delhi, n. Y, has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with DevOe; 6 gal
Ions Painted the other house with a
paint that was half adulteratiOn; Il

Where you desire to push calves Of
the weight mentioned rapidly some
grain can often be fed to advantage
even when the animals are on good
grass. The grass mentioned should
furnish a good pasture II the season
is favorable and calves should do well
on it. Corn and cob meal and oats
will provide very satisfactory grain,
but better results would be obtained
if cotton seed meal were added to the
ration in suitable quantity. You
might feed from four to six pounds
Of grain per day, depending on the
gains made, and in order TO determine
whether the grain proving beneficial
you will need to weigh the animals
once in twenty days and adjust the
grain according to their needs. Make
the ration two-thirds cotton seed meal
and one art corn and cob meal, or II
you please, one part corn and cob
meal, one part cotton seed meal and
one part oats. This will give a good
growing ration and the animals should
do well on il. With animals Of the
weight and age you have, you should
make 300 to $50 pounds without grain
on grass by next December. This
would give you steers averaging about
500 pounds. If these animals were
put i'm the stable and fed through the
winter on silage and grain and such
hay and roughness as you can easily
grow on your farm, you should be
able to make them weigh from LOO
to 200 by next May or June. They
should then produce beef Of an ideal
quality and bring you a good price,
and under these conditions it is ques-
ton whether it would not be better
to hold the animals over, save the
grain you would this summer and
push them hard next winter and
sell early i'm May or June.
