Dear Sir The wear of paint goes by
gallons the less-gallons paint wears
longest. The reason, Of course, IS IT'S
strength. 1t takes less gallons. because
it is strong ii wears a long time. be-
cause 1t is strong. Ii is all paint and
the strongest paint.
There is best paint among aii-palni
paints. No two are alike, OF course /,
no two cover alike or wear alike. One
is thin, another is thick one has too
much lead, another too much zinc,
another is right. The right is Devoe,
so far as IN yet known. Perhaps some
body-else will find-out a better paint
than Devoe then Devoe will become a
more-gallons paint, costlier paint, a
weaker paint, lcss-durable paint, 4
ess-economical paint, a timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have come
over r1n>world. Devoe has the lead !.
why shomln't we lose it TO somebody
else?

Married pemand For HoRs.

Before the annual meeting OF the
National Association of Expert Swine
Judges J. ]. Ferguson, of Chicago,
gave an illustrated lecture on the
market demands for swine. In part
he said:
"Of necessity packers can have no
choice as to breed or color, since
there is a place and use for every
grade of hog coming to the Stock
Yards. The market almost any day
will show a range from the heavy
SOW or stag weighing 700 to 500
pounds down to the light shipper pig
of forty to fifty pounds weight.
The demand for hogs of various
weights and the prices paid depend
upon the market for lard and pro-
visions. When the supply of lard ia
short the price of lard advances and
consequently heavy lard hogs are In
demand, with prices correspondingly
advanced. II at any time the market
for lard is slow and the supply ample
the lightweight hog suitable for pro-
ducing high-class hams and bacon
will bring top prices.
Under average conditions the HOG
worth the most money in the open
market will weigh from 200 to ESQ
pounds. He should be smooth and
evenly covered, without any excess
of fat over the shoulders, along the
back or on the hams. Good length
and depth of side is desirable since
the side mat is cured into bacon,
which sells for more money than auy
other part of the hog carcass,
Those qualities most desirable in
pure-bred hogs for breeding purposes
are also in demand by the packer
viz, smooth, even quality, with even
fleshing, and an absence of coarse.
ness of any part or surplus develop.
ment of bone.
THE tendency of the time is stead.
lily toward lighter and leaner cuts OF
meat. Farmers will find it much
more profitable to produce the early
maturing middle-weight packer hoa
above mentioned.
I'm this connection it is interesting
to note the leading experimental sta.
lions have clearly demonstrated thai
the gains made by hogs up to thia
weight-20O or ESQ pounds-art
made much more economically thar
those put on after the hogs have
passed this weight"

10 Increase the Yield.

Here are some suggestions from
Hoards Dairyman to the farmer
limiting at the course that he must
follow II he is to improve his dairy
herd and derive greater profit.
The farmer must make up his mind
to read more and know more than he
has known about the true meaning
of his business.
He must breed better, stop buying
poor, cheap bulls and the production
of poor cows. The fountain head Of
better quality in the COW is the char
acter of the sire.
Create better conditions in the
stable. Give the COW better air to
breathe, better food to eat, good wa
ter to drink and cleaner conditions to
live in
Weed out the cows vigorously.
Don't be slow about it. Dry them off
ana sell them to the butcher. Buy
the best neifers of the best cows you
can find and start the making of a
good COW on your farm.
Don't think fifty or sixty dollars ia
too much to pay for flrst-class COW,
provided you are sure she 10 healthy.
The men who come around to buy
your good COWS pay these prices, and
ten to one If they don't get them away
from you. A COW that will earn in
gross fifty dollars year pays big
interest on her cost above the cost
of keep. 1t amounts to thirty-three
per cent. If you pay sixty dollars, as
Stunning she costs thirty dollars to
keep her, and 1t can be done for that
easily IL you have silo and will grow
alfalfa.
