A GOOD BARN.
This Is the Only Kind That II Pays
to Build,

It pays better to build good barn
than it does poor barn. 1t will pay
the farmer better to take time to
think over the matter of building
than it will to rusiI in and build
barn that will become rickety in 20
years. Time slips away rapidly, and
the poorly built barn deteriorates
rapidly If it is so built that it will
have life of not more than 20 years,
then five per cent. must be charged
off as depreciation each year, and this
is equivalent to an interest of that
amount, which has to be added to the
interest on the original investment
This will sometimes make a total Of
more than ten per cent, which is too
much money for man to pay out an
Eually on any structure. Therefore,
says Farmers Review, the part Of wis
dom is to build for permanency. Ma
terials, plans and labor should be such
that the barn viii have a life of from
80 to 100 years. In that case the an
nual charge for depreciation will be
less than two per cent. The poorly
built barn will soon take on an ap-
pearance that will detract from the
value of the farm, in case the farm
has to be sold.

Sheep Getting Back on Farm.

There is no danger of any person
getting into trouble in predicting that
from now on the sheep is to be re.
turned to its proper place on the
farms. And why not, when it makes
by far more money out of the grass
and the weeds, and the seeds, the
roots, the grains, the hay and any.
thing else fed to it than any other
kind Of animal we raise, and it does
that without one needing to milk or
grind for them? All this is required
to give the feed as it comes from the
field, only that turnips had better be
cut. Does that not tell, and tell ma.
terially, when the labor saved is con.
sidered, how we can farm, farm we'll.
and cut down expensive labor bills?

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS7
Its Chief Use and Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing 1t to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is tnen ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. Tho
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" Of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
| fore painting with 1t.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely TO Follow Proper Eating

As old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape

In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.

MAKING BUTTER ON THE FARM.
Two Prime Essentials to Success In
This Branch of Dairyns.

There are two prime essentials in
making butter on the farm profitable
business. In the first place, one must
have plenty of pure, cold water; and
then a good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out Of
every ten farm homes is they are not
equipped to take care of milk and
cream. When one goes into this work
to make money, better put up a milk
room, where pure water may be had
from pumping or from a spring. Con-
crete floor and walls may now be built
as cheaply as with lumber, and it Is q
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here. barrel churn and but
ter maker will be necessary in turning
out uniform product. 1t looks easy
simply separating the cream, churn-
ing till the butter comes, and sailing
and the trick is done. That is where
so many fail. The cream must be
churned at the right temperature; 1t
must be neither too sweet nor too
sour. Working and sailing butter to
secure uniform color and flavor is
very nice art. Don't try to learn to do II
infallibly in two or three weeks, but by
all means don't practice on your Gus.
toners. That means loss. 1t is better
TO wait two or three months, until you
are sure of your quality before you
seek customers. And before you ship,
find out how your commission man or
private customers prefer to have their
butter put up. Sometimes the pack
age means a difference Of two or
three cents a pound

some gave partial relief, none relieved
