Another Good "cheap Paint"

The calls for cheap paint and
durable whitewashes' have never
been so great as the present season.
We take this as a good indication,
but presume a part of the demand, at
least, has been caused by the miser-
ably poor paints with which the coun-
try has been flooded the past few
years. While the government Is 10

On one of his trips he met some

Winterinu Cattle,

In putting cattle into winter quar-
tiers there are some results which we
desire to obtain during the winter and
some which we hope to have in evil
dence the following spring. If the cows
have dropped their calves in the fall
the winter feed is largely with the
view Of producing milk. If spring
calves are desired the care during the
healthy calf in the spring. Where the
younger cattle are being wintered it
is question of putting on a little ex-
ira growth or at least maintaining the
state of flesh with which they entered
winter quarters and thus having them
in good shape to go upon grass when
the next season opens. To produce
any of these results there must be a
certain amount Of feed given in excess
of the amount necessary to maintain
the animal heat during the winter.
Incidentally it is we'll to bear in mind
that the food needed to maintain this
animal heat will be greatly reduced
In quantity if the cattle are properly
sheltered.
The ease with which cattle may be
kept in condition during the winter
depends largely on the shape they are
in when put into winter quarters. IL
they carry considerable flesh when the
fall is over, the question of Wintering
Is not serious one while on the other
hand 1t is very seldom that a COW
going into the winter in thin condition
appears III any other shape but what
feeders term "skin poor" in the
spring 1t is much on the same idea
when you get up full head Of steam
in an engine before starting. 1t then
requires but little fuel to keep it go
ing, while on the other hand if the
engine is started with only part Of the
power developed it is almost impos-
sible to get under full Roadway. To
get the cattle in good condition during
the fall there are certain minor points
which should be observed. These
cold nights the use of an open shed
will be very agreeable to the cattle
and will tend to improve their condl-
ton. Unless they are upon extra good
pasture access to little cheap rough
age such as clean oats, straw or nay
that is slightly damaged, is advisable.
Any addition to the succulent rat1ons
is also very acceptable to the cattle
and will prove profitable. Liberal sup
plies Of salt and water should always
be on hand.
To be sure, feed is high and liable
to remain so thruout the winter. How
ever, don't make this an excuse for
starving your cattle. Some men Will be
tempted to sell their entire grain crop
and let the cattle rough it, but this will
entail greater loss than will probably
be anticipated. If you have the right
kind of cattle there is no better place
on earth to sell your grain than thru
them, and if you haven't the right kind
of cattle it would almost be better to
have no cattle at all.

Storing Potatoes.


There is another car famine on for
the shippers of vegetables, which will
necessitate the storing Of large guam
titles of potatoes that with a free
movement of cars would be shipped
before winter. The grower does not
have much confidence in the keeping
qualities of certain varieties which
have shown tendency to decay i'll
the field and pit. We believe TINS
trouble is due to the appearance OIL
black blight in many of the fields
that were planted too late with the
slow maturing varieties The early
sorts like Ohios, rose. ETC., are IN
good condition and promise to come
out Of storage in fine shape. Growers
very generally admit that the disease
in their late potatoes is not pro-
gressive but is confined to tubers thai
were affected during the latter part
of their growth.
Care should be exercised in sort
ing out the partially decayed stock
as it comes from the field or PIT anu
Tins they will not soil or damage
their companions while in the stor-
age cellars. Don't hurry this mat
ter but take sufficient time to look
them over carefully. 1t will prove to
he a profitable investment. Scatter
airslacked lime amongst the pota-
toes when they go into the pits and
bins. This is not an expensive ma
terial, but, will absorb much moist
ure as well as bad odors, that are
products of decay. We believe the
lime has a tendency to prevent po-
tato rot, especially where it is due
to damp surroundings. Our faith IN
it's beneficial effects is such that we
use it with generous hand about
| the cellar barn and in the garden.
| Keep a thermometer in the cellar
and outside storage pits so that the
temperature may be maintained just
a little above the freezing point.
Night air at this season is an ex-
cellent means Of securing cool stof-
age. Open the windows at night and
close them in the morning when
necessary to keep the cellar cool
Provide ventilation by way OF the
chimney or thru conductors expressly
designed for that purpose
Vegetables that are stored on
floor somewhat elevated from the
ground will keep better than those
directly in contact with the earth
which always gives off more or less
heat, even in winter. Potatoes are
good property to store but loss may
occur when they are carelessly
handled. Don't neglect them.
