The Painter
or the Carpenter,
WHICH,?

1t is better to call in the painter at once
than to call in both the painter and the
carpenter later. The property owner who
neglects his buildings until they show the
stains Of passing time and until rust and
decay get in and work their damage has
double Illusion and it would be better to
direct his economy in another manner.
AS long as wood and metal are used in
buildings, just so long will good paint be
necessity. 1t is false economy to put off
painting single day after the surface be-
comes unprotected and a prey to the
ravages of the weather.
We are offering good inside Paint at only
$500 gallon - big saving.

They forget them.
Nor would the woman vivisect his

the men with whom they are in love.
She would devote her energies to try

grouchy or good tempered: whether
he was overbearing and tyrannical or
gentle and chivalrous: whether he
was the sort of a man who thought
that women were designed by the

things or the kind OF man who would
regard a wife as a regular human be-
ing and be willing to divide fifty-fIfty
with her.
For the woman would have found
out that not every man who talks
loudly about his soul has got one; that
many of the most poetic love makers
are the poorest performers when it
comes TO expressing their affections
in deeds. and that many a man who
swears to a girl that he asks nothing

what sort OF a money maker he is,

SCHWAB ASKING FOR
100000 TONS EXTRA
Says Shipbuilding Needs Added
Quantity as Reserve.

Charles NJ. Schwab, director Of
shipbuilding. returned to PhiIadel-
phia yesterday after a tour. of the
Pacific Coast shipyards. He an
nounced that he would need 4,00O,-
900 tons of steel for his program
next year and for this reason he
has called a conference Of steel men
in New York on Monday.
Thus far the shipyards have been
supplied at the rate of $500, 900 tons
per year. but Mr.. Schwab declared
the extra half million was needed
''as a cushion to fall back upon"
June deliveries Of ships at Ameri-
can yards alone. he said, were sew
enty-five per cent of the total ton
mage claimed by the submarines
during that month.
The Hog Island yard Is ninety
FIVE per cent completed and its cost
will approximate s55.oo0. 900, Mr..
Schwab said. He explained he did
not think the cost excessive. in
view of the costs of labor and ma
terials IN these times.
Il thoroughly enjoyed my trip
to the Pacific Coast" said Mr..
Schwab. "and the reason they're
ahead in shipbuilding out there is
because they got on the job earlier
than the people on this side"

FARM
ANIMALS
COLD RAINS INJURE HORSES
Exposure Of Young Animals to Severe
Weather Causes shrlnkage and
Retards Development.

The exposure Of young horses to
the short spells Of severe weather
which occur frequently during the fall,
causes shrinkage in live weight and
Is hindrance to rapid economical de-
velopment. Older horses seem to stand
this sort Of treatment with less loss.
1t Is doubtless true that animals be-
come accustomed to winter weather,
but frequent changes from fine fall
weather to bad storms retard gains In
colts without shelter.
Four yearling Percheron FLIES with
an average weight Of 1,169 pounds on
pasture, with ration Of six pounds of
corn and oats (one-half Of each by
weight) daily shrunk an average of 80
pounds each during the spell of severe
weather on October 10 to 20 at the Uni
versity of Missouri. Aged mares In
foal, lost only slightly during the same
period.
inexpensive sheds which will protect
colts from wind, rain, sleet and snow
will prevent part of such loss in
weight. Growing horses should not be
housed too closely and prevented from
taking plenty Of exercise, but they
should not be subjected to extremely
bad weather If they are expected to
make satisfactory growth.

RUSSIA TO RECLAIM DESERT
Good Pasture Lands Are Destroyed at
the Rate of One Hundred Thous-
and Acres a Year.

The shifting sands Of Astrakhan and
the measures taken by the Russian
government to deal with this problem
form the subject of q memoir by j.
G. Firstov, published In Petrograd, OBJ
serves the Scientific American. Ten
million acres of the province In ques-
ton are covered with shifting sands
formed during the nineteenth century
and subsequently. These sands have
been spreading at the rate Of 100000
acres year, the result being the trans
formation of good pasture land into a
barren waste. The principal cause Is
over grazing fiocks and herds are kept
SO long In one place MS to result in the
complete destruction Of the turf. Poor
agricultural methods are also respon-
sible. About the beginning of the pres
ent century the government took meas
ures Of control and reclamation, and
between 1904 and 1909 an area Of about
$4,000 acres was brought under cult
walton. In 1913 special service was
ordered to deal with the question.
The province was put under the charge
or chief forestry officer and divided
Into six districts, in each of which q
subordinate official was appointed to
superintend the work. At the time of
writing good progress has been made
In planting soil binders and growing
herbaceous crops, but 1t was still prob
lematical whether the province was
adapted to the establishment Of for
ests.

CARING FOR FEET OF SHEEP
Neglect often Brings Troubles Later
On-Practical Plan Outlined for
Needed Attention.

Neglect of the feet often brings
sheep troubles later on. Uncared-for
feet are favorable breeding grounds
for foot rot and crooked pasterns.
Try this plan: Turn the sheep out In
pasture while the grass is wet. This
will clean the feet and soften the
hoof. After few hours pen the
sheep, take hoof clipper or pruning
knife and remove the surplus hoof
or crooked portions. Trim so that the
horn Is on level with the sole of the
foot. If pairing is necessary more on
one side than the other in order to
balance the foot, do this. Aim to
have q level foot when the sheer
stands on the ground.
