INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF HOME
Well Recognized That Ownership
Makes for Highly Desired Stabil-
ity Of Character.

Mans greatest business in life is the
business of living. And nothing con-
tributes so much to the success Of
his business as dOes good housing.
Civilization Is built up on this idea.
The most progressive and civilized a
tons have been best housed.
Today the industrial value Of home
ownership is well recognized. 1t de-
velops a pride, a self-respect. a sta
bility of character that makes the
home owner the man to be desired.
The man who can save and achieve
a real haven to house his business of
living has something that differenti-
ates him from those not so fortunate.
His credit Is better, he is more highly
regarded by the community. and he is
the desirable citizen.
Most homes must be built on loans.
As handled in the past, the mortgage
has been pictured a home wrecker, a
dreaded something TO harass "A mans
old age.
Today the tendency is toward amor
tization, which is n gradual paying Off
of the principal so that in time the
home will be free and clear. Amor
tization removes the only drawback
to the ownership of a home. Whereas
1t Is hard to save $4,000 to pay off
In a lump sum-, 1t is easy to pay S33 a
month for ten years, plus $40 interest
charges, which latter decreases every
month. How many of us have bought
things on the partial payment plan,
meeting he payments easily, and
meanwhile enjoying the luxury of pos
session?
just so il is with a home. And pro-
vided 1t is located right, one or two
rooms can be rented that will cut the
monthly payments in half. That fen.
ture alone has proved the deciding
factor with many who desire to be a
real success in the business of living,
But this home should be built to
last, TO be in as good condition when
the payments are finished as when
they are started. That means spend
ing money where II doesn't show-for
a year or so. Ii means good plumb
ing, good heating. good, sound timber
framed by a builder worthy of trust,
by a man whose bid may not be the
lowest, but whose bid is based on the
kind Of construction that will cause
the home to stand up bravely against
the elements, a real haven for the
business of living.

CHEAP FLY PAINT FOR cows
Formula Given by Expert Of Kansas
Agricultural colIeoe-AppIy II
With Brush When Cool.

It is often cheaper and easier to buy
the mixture rather than make 1t for
a few cows. but If you want to make
1t yourself here is the formula as
given by George A. Dean, professor of
entomology In the Kansas Agricultural
college:
For cattle use two parts Of pulver-
lied resin, n part of soap s~havings.
one-half part of water. one part of
kerosene, n part oil Of tar. one part

In making this boil the resin, soap
and one-half part Of water until the
resin is dissolved and then add the
three parts water. oil of tar, kerosene
and fish oil, and boil well for Is min
utes, being careful to keep the mixture
well stirred. Put 1t on with a brush
when cool. In using this mixture 1t

ton every day for two or three days,

ROAD
Bull Ding
BOND ISSUE IS BIG PROBLEM
Best Means to Pull Counties Out Of
Land Of Mud-Make All Improve
ments Permanent.

The biggest single issue before the
people today is good roads; biggest
not alone Of itself. but biggest be-
u the prompt and satisfactory So
luton Of a permanent road system In
every state will help to solve a half
dozen fundamental problems and in
directly affect for good, as well as in
dollars and cents. almost every phase
of farm. social and industrial life in
the state. We cannot expect to have
a real system of roads unless 1t Is
based on large units and this is best
accomplished by accepting the county
and state basis with a few experienced
and responsible men in charge In each
case. We must have roads that begin
and end somewhere.
Many counties are presenting to the
taxpayers the question of a bond issue
for the improvement of their high
ways. The bond issue for a public
improvement should be governed by
the same considerations which govern
a bond issue by any business %organiza-
ton. When a manufacturing concern
issues bonds, the money raised is
placed In permanent improvements in
the plant which will last far beyond
the life of the bonds. or else no in
weston would purchase the securities.
Bonds for municipal purposes or for
public improvements are not always
subjected to this acid test, and in
stances are numerous in this country
where bonds for twenty years have
been issued for the construction Of
public roads. where the type of roads
built with the proceeds of the bond
issue could not possibly last more than
ten years. and even then expensive
maintenance is continually necessary.
In some instances history shows that
during the life of such a bond issue
the original road has been worn out
and rebuilt with a different material,
and with the proceeds of subsequent
bond issues as many as three times,
and still the original bonds are a liza.
bility on the community.
Bond issues for better roads are the
best means to pull counties out of the
Land of Mud. But 1t must be certain
that the road improvements will last
the life of the bonds. This can be as.
sured by securing expert and unpreju.
diced engineering advice on the best
kind Of roads for the soil. The bank.
er car perform yeoman service In this
connection.
In the state Of Iowa the man who be-
a with nothing and now owns a $780,.

when building a road. but he will Dor.
row money from an insurance company
with which to buy more land. and he

BETTER LIVE STOCK DESIRED
Authentic Incidents Related Showing
What May Be Expected From
Improved Methods.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The following authenticated Incl
dents are cited by the United States
department of agriculture in its bet
ter Sires-Better Stock" campaign to
show what American farmers and
stOckmen may expect through i'm
proved methods of breeding and han
ding animals.
Ono Cow Equals Five.-A New Jer-
sey boy was influenced to buy a high
grade COW for $155. The COW on fresh
ening gave "a quarts of milk and kept
1t up for a long period. The father
owned five cows. the average for the
neighborhOod. They were fresh in the
spring. Their product did not equal
the product of the COW owned by the
sOn-fve times the labor and five
times the feed. in comparison with one
good cow.
High-CIass Bully Beef.-An Oklaho-
ma farmer had two registered Short
horn yearling bulls that he priced at
500 each for breeding purposes. A
butcher saw the bulls, asked the price,
but learned that they were registered
and that 1t would take 500 each to
buy them. He bought them, killed
them, and stated that they were the
cheapest cattle he had bought for
some TIME, because they cut the better
kinds Of beef and more of it.
Valuable Stock-vaIuabIe Offspring.
I'm several counties Of North Caro-
lima more purebred live stock has been
purchased during the past year at the
higher prices which have prevailed
than in any other year. Hogs were
never so high. and yet hundreds of
boys bought purebred pigs at high
prices with the expectation of selling
their offspring. Through the county
agents many hundreds of pigs bred by
the boys have been sold at good prices
and this is stimulating the extension
Of purebred hogs.
Better Poultry-More Meat.-In a
southern community, following the In

breeding, there was noticeable i'm

business farmer, who believes that val
liable crops should be housed in the
way that best keeps them from de.
teriOrating. The loss that up to !;
short time ago was looked on as trivial
will pay for such a building as this
in a few years.
The cost of a high corn crib built
from this design can readily be deter
mined by consulting the local con
tractor and material dealer. Costs of
both materials and labor vary in diff
ferent localities. and no set price can
be given for this building. but the ma
terial dealer and contractor can give
the prospective builder an accurate es-
innate. They also can give the farm
err some excellent advice about the
size building he will need, and regard
ing the hest materials to use.
However. the value of good farm
buildings, whether they be barns. hog
houses. corn cribs, g%ranaries, or the
farm, home itself, cannot be too strongly
accented. Life is too short for the
farmer to have anything but the best
home for himself and his family he
can afford crops and live stock are too
valuable to be housed in anything but
buildings that will keep them in the
best condition possible. Good build
ings are profit producers. and during
the course of a few years will pay for
themselves in the savings they make.
The time never was more opportune
for farmers to secure the high-class
buildings they need. Livestock and
grains, In fact. every product of the

Demand for Better Homes.

The idea of good homes for wage
earners as a matter Of public policy
was widely advertised during the war
and gained strong support. The ablest
architects, engineers and landscapers
assisted the government In housing
plans. This has brought about an in
creasing national consciousness that
every family should be provided with
a habitation meeting at least the mini
mum requirements of sanitation and
decency. Many soldiers who were
reared in city slums have returned
with more personal dignity and no
longer will stand for their former
homes. They are ~persuadlng their
families to remove to better neighbor-
hoods.

PLANT FLOWERS AND TREES
Work on the improvement Of the
Home Grounds.

The appearance OF the home has
much to do with Its utility as well as
Its beauty. A home where there are
flowers. trees. lawn. etc, seems more
comfortable than where these things
are absent. Such a home Is always
more satisfying, and that of course is
a quality of utility.
Fall Is n good time to improve the
yard. lawn and general appearance Of
the home. Late fall Is a favorable
time TO transplant many biennials and
perennials. Roses, "the queen Of flow
ers,' may be set other shrubs may be
transplanted v%iolets, bulbs of various
kinds, sweet peas, etc, may be started
for early spring blossoms.
A little time given to the yard and
lawn now will be worth much TO the
appearance of your home next spring.
Look over the yard and see what i'm
provements can be made. Doubtless
you will find that much can be done
to make your home more attractive.

ADVISABLE TO SKIM CREAM
Saving Can Be Accomplished by Turn
Of Screw and 10 Well Worth
Effort Required.

In Swimming a hundred pounds Of
IS per cent cream Is more pounds Of
skim milk is kept on the farm than
when the same amount of 20 per cent
cream is taken. This saving can be
accomplished by a turn Of the cream
screw. and at present feed prices is
well worth the effort required. More
skim milk on the farms also means
more calves raised to furnish meat and
milk for all. Milk producers are paid
for the butterfat In cream, not for the
water and other constituents. This
makes it advisable TO skim a rich
cream, so that as much valuable skim
milk as possible may be saved for feed
ing purposes.

Farmers who devote the little extra
time necessary In ~skinning animals
carefully-pOssibly only three to five
minutes in taking off the skin of a calf,
or - minutes in the case of a beef hide
can increase the value of the hide
several times, say specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. This Is of utmost importance in
view of the present urgent demand for
leather, and the increase in price which
unsecured hides bring on the market.
Ii is essential and even necessary to
skins from farm animals.
Country hides and skins make up
more than 0ne-third of all the hides
and skins produced in the country, but
too often the value of country hides
for leather making is less than that
of packer hides. The tanner pays more
for packer hides than for those OBJ
tair.ed from farmers or country slaugh-
terers. This Is due in part to better
facilities in the large packing houses
for curing and storing the hides, but
principally to the fact that such hides
have been taken of properly. The tan

In n room with a concrete floor. The
limb OF a tree may be used for sus-
pending the carcass, but when the
hides are removed indoors a block and
tackle must be provided.
The animals should be cleaned off,
curried and brushed thoroughly, In or
der to remove all dirt. The ~skinning
knife should be sharp, though 1t should
be used any more than Is absolute
ly necessary. The use Of the knife
may be avoided In taking Off calf skins,

three times that amount, corn is too
