A great many Of our good breeders
have their young animals gain at the
rate Of 100 pounds per month until
they are 10 months Of age, at which
time they weigh 1000 pounds. II you
will keep calves UP to the above stand
ard, however, 1t will save you the maxi
ing Of lot Of apologies when your
friends and neighbors come to see your
cattle and will save you lots OF en-
barrasEnent when the public sets
value on your calf crop.
There is good money and a world
Of enjoyment In breeding good cattle.
but there's mighty little money and
less satisfaction in trying TO determine
the minimum ration necessary for their
mere subsistence.
Try this standard out on your herd.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application of paint, constitutes a
most vital means of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. 1t
Is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
dia rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay as structure coated
with good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that sheet of rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as thin
dried film of paint. The latter mate
rial when applied dries to a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
film upon wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet 1t win beautify and
protect dollars worth Of surface for
many years. This Is q low rate Of In
surance.
Dwellings, barns. outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether Of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
Of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints viii be
found the most seyiceable, the colering
matter In the paint adding from two
to three yeap 10 the life Of The csatiAs.

Virginia man,
There are no public lands in Tennes-
see. You have possibly heard of the
blu which was introduced in the last
Congress to appropriate s100,O00000
for the reclamation Of q tract OF land
in each state. This bin, however, was
not passed by Congress,
Tennessee has considerable quaint
ties OF splendid farming land in each
section Of the state, and in many cases
this can be bought at reasonable
price. In the past, lands In this state
have been much lower In price than
lands Of equal fertility in the northern
and western states. It has, therefore,
been apparent that the field Of next
development w0uld be in the South
However, during the past few years
land prices have increased rapidly IN
this state. If one had bought farming
lands in Tennessee few years ago it
would have proven one OF the very
best possible Investments l Will not
attempt to prophesy as to whether or
not land values In general will con-
tinue to rise above their present level
in the near future. If you are willing
to iRvest In lands which are in sec
ton Of the state not at present thor
oughly provided with railroads, pixies,
etc, but which WIN be so provided
within the NEXT few years, a splendid
investment could no doubt be had.
In addition to the above we have
considerable area known as the Cum
berland Plateau which has not here
tofore been extensively developed agri-
cuituraIly. A few farmers in this sec
ton ara, however, making a splendid
success OF their farming operations,
and 1t is possible that by the use of
similar methods this entire area may
he greatly improved within the next
few years Lands in this section may
he bought at very reasonable figure

PAINT AND ILLITERAcY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That Lo-

Washington, d. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by The Edu-

the states where illiteracy is most

1t is true. though, that In the sections

1 have just returned from a hurried
inspection trip pretty well covering
the beef cattle herds of the state and
| AM convinced OF the absolute neces-
sity Of some Of our breeders making
radical changes In their methods if
they ever expect to be worthy of the
name of breeder.
II man buys good cattle and lets
them go to pieces under his care there
10 no hope for him. He hasn't learned
the first lesson, l. e., that good feeding
Is an absolutely inseparable part OF
the successful raising Of purebred cat
tie. If he hasn't the kind Of cattle
that will pay for their feed, somebody
has loaded him up and the sooner he
gets rid of them the better OF he will
be. The average purebred calf at one
year Of age will be worth 5000 TO
$4,000, without any extra feed Give
him 5000 worth of feed extra and he
viii sell for $4,000 to $4,000.
How any breeder can overlook this
fact, Is more than I can understand,
and yet 70 per cent of the calves in
our herds are underfed, understood !;
many Of them weighing not much over
one-half what they should at a given
age
You all know the type Of breeder
who begins making APOLOGIES for the
condition OF his cattle before you get
in the barn lot. You know right then
that you are going to see something
that will make you sad. And yet this
very fellow thinks It strange when
you figure that his calves are worth
$4,000 to $4,000. and can't under
stand why they're not just as much
as Mr.. SO and Sos, whose sale aver
aged 10000 or 100000. He reads
livestock papers he studies pedi-
grees; his cattle are well bred; but he
has never learned that feed was made
for good cattle and that they should
be given all they desire.
More and more suspect that the
main trouble Hes in the fact that the
average owner Of purebreds doesn't
know how big calf ought to be at a
certain age Below Is a standard of
weights for beef cattle and II you
are not sure about your calf crop, take
this standard out to the barn lot with
you and run your calves over the
scales
