Paint Folly

Folly to put-off painting when
paint is high, and folly to use
Cheap" paint.
Your buildings are worth
you say how much. If you
don't paint them, how much less
will they be worth in a year ?
It will cost more to paint next
year; it will take more paint at
about S. a gallon for paint and
labor.
How much is the cost of paint
by the year?
Depends on the paint. An
average job is 5000 square feet,
10 gallons Devoe: $2.25 a gal
lon for paint and $3.50 a day
$3.50 a gallon too) for painting;
s4.75 a gallon: $47.5O. How
long will it last? Depends on
the owner: say 5 years; and your
cost for Devoe is $3.50 a year.
Cheap" paint, $1.75 a gallon,
takes Is gallons, labor the same
$3.50 a day or gallon: 4.25 a
gallon: Is gallons $63.75. Say
it lasts 2 years; it isn't sure two
years; it isn't sure at all.
Enough: cheap paint costs
more than good.

Ensilage is the most perfect sub.

The two are practically the same

be adequately supplied by the use OF
alfalfa hay. In the case of the milk

A COW eating thirty.fve to forty
