Many men are good but not great
some are great. as the world some
times estimates greatness. but not

all. and It is that rather than greatness
the world most needs. Fortunately
in this land Of ours we not unoften
find true greatness and goodness
combined in the one individual.

ADvERTIsINa La pAYs.

The movement to prevent the dlshg
nring Of scenery BY huge adyertis
ing signs deserves success Thai
such signs do mar the landscape and
are offensive to everyone who has
any sense Of beauty, few will ques'
ton. AS a business experiment they
are not success. Investigation
proves that of all forms of adyertis-
ing they produce the poorest results,
while newspaper advertising produces
the best.
This is not to be wondered at.
The making and painting of signs
is expensive, and when. made the
wording remains unchanged. For
that reason the novelty soon wears
away aud they attract no attention
except by their unsightiiness.
With newspaper advertising IL is
different. The paper goes regularly
into the home to be read by all.
Everyone reads the ads and knows ex-
actly what they represent. The adj
yertiser changes the style and work
Ing OF his ad whenever he pIeases
and is therefore able In attractive
ways to acQuaint the public with the
character and variety Of his goods

PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting shoEld,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of a
paint expert could be.

EXPERIMENTS WITH FEED

During the past three years the An
imal Husbandry department of Pur-
due university, Indiana, has been con-
Quoting a series of tests to determine
the influence of age on the economy
and profit in fattening cattle, in which
three lots of cattle, one of calves, one
of yearlings and one of two-year-olds
were used last year. This year the
ration used consisted of shelled corn,
cotton-seed meal and clover hay. The
results were similar to those secured
in previous years and published by
the station in Bulletin 129. The old
er cattle consumed more feed per
head, made a more rapid gain, at
tanned a higher finish, increased more
in value per pound while in the feed

feed consumed, writes w. A. Cochel,

RAPID STRIDES OF

Great Need of Immediate Testing

BY killing four healthy looking COWS
which had reached to the tuberculin
test and by killing a pig that had
been fed upon the quart of milk from
a tuberculous COW, Dean H. L. Rus
sell, at Madison, Wis, demonstrated
to 1000 farmers at the farmers course
the ravages of the disease in animals
in which its presence ordinarily would
be unsupported. The tuberculin test,
Dean Russell declared, was the only
reliable method of determining the
presence of the disease, since the ap-
pearance of the animal and physical
examinations have been demonstrated
to be untrustworthy. The great need
for immediate testing by farmers
themselves or by qualified tests was
strongly urged
