Wrong Ideas
on Paint Economy

Don't allow surfaces to rot
It costs less to paint them.
We've made paints for west
ern use for II years. We use
pure PIONEER w HIT E
LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc
and color, but we mix them in
scientific proportions with long
time skill.
Our white lead base must be
fine enough to pass through a
silk screen with 10000 meshes
to the square inch. That means
covering capacity and ease of
spreading. We super-purify the
lead to make it "whiter," which
means clear-toned colors.
The finished product on the
house is a beautiful, elastic
tough protective coating.
We call these paints "Fuller's
Specification House Paints" be-
cause they are the very best
made for the purpose.

Range horses running at large on
the Highlands are proving themselves
a nuisance. Many hay stacks and or
chards have suffered severely from
their depredations. Although it is un-
lawful for stock to run at large on
the Highlands action has seldom been
taken against violators. Few ranch
ers have corrals in which the estrays
can be held and none are disposed to
make trouble for owners but all would
appreciate having the estrays looked
after by their owners.

waiting for sufficient tonnage to keep
his crew of about thirty in steady work
w. S. Green is running his packing
plant at full capacity. A large, new
porch has recently been added to the
Shed which gives plenty Of space for
the packed product until the ranchers
haul it to market. The shed is
equipped with modern conveniences, a
gas engine furnishing power and a
Nelson sizer is being used. The pack
ers are putting out about 700 boxes
daily and have sufficient tonnage to
keep busy all season.

THERE'S one way to save
on paint. That way is to use
the best of paint.
Some think of paint economy
as Cost per gallon" That is
wrong. Cheap paint doesn't
cover as much surface-you
need more gallons.
Cheap paint is more difficult
to spread, requires more labor,
80 the best paint costs no more
when you've put it on the house
than cheap paint does.
More than that, it lasts five
or more years longer, If prop
erly applied, while cheap paint
on the average begins cracking
in twelve months. Good paint
IS an inDesfmenf that saves
money by preventing deteriora-
ton of the house.

"Cheap" paint is the only
paint that really costs you any

has a concrete floor. Along one wall
runs a feeC.l& alley, while ~oors at
the floor line permit the hogs to leave

The building is set east and west,

AS the weather gets warmer and the

To be healthy young pigs must not
be subjected to draft, neither must
they be chilled. Plenty of bedding
placed on plank floor that is raised
slightly from the concrete floor helps
to keep them warm and dry. Con-
trary to the general opinion among
those who do not know better, a hog
is cleanly animal, and will keep him
self clean if the conditions are such
that he can. The plank floor covers
only about two-thirds of the pen, aa1
