PAINT paoTEcTscN
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. II
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 a structure coated
with a 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 continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic. wear resisting
pigments. A square foot OF such a
film upon q wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet II will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
surance.
Dwellings, harns, OutoulldlngS, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmilIs 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 will be
found the most seviceahle, the coloring
matter In the paint adding from two
to three years to the life of the coating.

SAGEBRUSH USED FOR ROADS
Desplsed Weed Is Now Declared to Be
Best Building Material In
Western States.

Nobody loves the sagebrush, yet
somebody is always trying to uplift 1t.
This Is a difficult task since its ante
cedents are so bad. Nevada, COM
planned a long time because she was
called the "Sagebrush state ;" hunters
hated the plant because of the bitter
favor II impaired to the grouse; pros
pectors, settlers, stockmen despised IL
because 1t encumbered the earth. II
was fit only for rattlesnakes to coil in
and strike or for coyotes to blend their
tawny skins into vanishment-
Not long ago an Oregon man cried.
Eureka He said that sagebrush
was the best road-building material
In the West, says New York Sun
Now Idaho claims In the despised weed
a source of great wealth and the solu-
ton of the problem of potash short
age: "The average acre produces
three tons of sagebrush at a cost OF
$25. The sagebrush burned in the
kiln gives from % to 80 per cent pot
ash. The supply is inexhaustible."
The Idaho poet, who called for a
festival "to lift the curse from the
plant we know so well and should
love-" may now consider himself even
with those who jeered and refused to
fOregather with him.

for loans. Where the farm buildings
are in good shape the rating is one
half. The president Of middle west
ern bank says that when real estate
loans are considered, painted buildings
are always taken into consideration In
making an estimate. The general ap-
pearance of the property surrounding
the house and barn and also the fields
and fences would be carefully observ-
ed. He further says that he has no
hesitancy In saying that he would alb
solutely refuse q loan on farms where
the buildings were not kept up and
well painted. In his judgment, un-
painted farm buildings would reduce
the loan value at least 25 per cent.
A Minnesota banker says that he is
much more willing to loan money
where the buildings are well painted.
In his particular case he believes that
he would loan 20 per cent. more than
II the buildings were not properly
taken care of. A farmer who will
keep his buildings painted takes a
much deeper interest IN his work than
one who does not. Another Mime
sofa bank says that we'll painted build
Ings have resulted IN securing from
his bank sometimes as high as % per
cent more money than where the
buildings are not painted. An Ohio
concern says that Il will loan Is per
cent. more money on Q we'll kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
once every flve years. A southern Illi-
nois bank says that It has. no fixed
rule about this, but It does make q de-
cided difference when owners of farm
lands apply for loans. n the buildings
are well painted and thus well pre-
served the loan rate would not only
be cheaper, but the amount OF money
borrowed would be larger. A northern
Illinois bank does not hesitate to say
that It would loan fully so per cent.
more on a farm where buildings we're
well painted and In good order than
where they were not The vice presi.
dent, who answers the inquiry, goes
on to say: "There probably are many
farmers good financially and morally
who permit their buildings to remain
implanted, but as a rule the most sub.
stantial people who live in the coun.
try keep their buildings well painted"
An Iowa bank, through its vice pres.
ident, states that 1t would make a diff.
ference of at least % per cent. in ia.
vor of the farm with painted build
ings. Another Iowa concern says that
It would make a difference Of at least
20 per cent.
All this being true, II Is perfectly
evident that II Is good business prop
osition to keep the farm buildings vel
painted. They not only look better
and are more pleasing to the owner
but the farm would sell to better ad
vantage, the loan value Of the propert.
would be greatly Increased and tn,
buildings themselves would last mucI
longer and need less repair.-Th
American Agriculturist.
