Dear Sir "It costs as much to
put on poor paint as good'-a
com mon saying and true-lt costs
much more to put on poor paint;
more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes
or paint and sand or paint and
lime or paint and chalk or pant
and benzlne or paint and water;
these are the usual cheats; there
are others.
1t takes more gallons of paint
and a.cheat than of honest paint;
and the cost of the labor of paint
nus is so much gallon-one gal
Ion costs as much as another, for
labor.
This is the way to reckon your
costs for this year; but how about
next year?
PANT Devoe, and next year
costs nothing year after next the
same; the same tor several years.
Pant anything else, and your
costs recur according to what you
paint with. Some of the mix.
lures wear one year; some two
some three.
1t costs twice, three times, foul
times, five times, as much to paint
with a cheat as to pant with De-
voc.
Yours truly

Farmers at the Top of the Heap.
R3t,.1L Mem Y0rley

Great prominence is given the recent esti-
mate of the Secretary of Agriculture that the
value of American farm products raised last
year reaches the astonishing total of Sc, 794,-
600 900, or nearly three times the earnings of
all the railroads of the United States put to-
gether, all other industries being small in COM
parison with the farmers gigantic output. The
iron and steel business, with its clutch on every
pocketbook, shows only earnings of 81, 200,-
600, 900, and in comparison the Standard Oil
trust is a mere peanut stand, with its little
S4O,O00,000 or so. II American farmers should
combine they could sweep the capitalists and
promoters out of the country, but they are
never likely to do so for purely selfish ends.
They want better postal service, lower tariffs
and transportation for their products at some
thing near cost, and they are going to have
these facilities in the near future, or know the
reason why. The farmers ofthe country make
such a magnificent showing because there are
more of them-they are more steadily indus
trious, more economical and better self.con-
trolled. as a whole, than any other class of
producers. This is pre.eminently an agricul-
tural nation. Other interests may be vocifer-
on and grasping, but they are only sideshows
in comparison to our mighty basic industry.
