Travel where we will ihrouahout
the country, everywhere we hod the
neal, cheerful painted dwelling. pro
claiming at once the prosperity and
tthe self respect of our population
Fifty year* ago thla was not ao;
painted dwellings, while common in
the larger cities and towns, wore the
osceptlon In Ihe rural dlstrlcta; be-
cauae. on ihe one hand, a large pro-
portion of thoso buildings were tem-
porary makeshifts, and. on the other
hand, because palut wss then a lux-
( ury. expensive and difficult to obtain
j In the out-ofthe-wny places, and ro-
• gulrlng special knowledge and much
preparation to fit It for use.
The Introduction of ready mixed or
prepared paints, about I860, changed
the entire aspect of affairs. As the
Jack-of-all-trades told the Walking
Delegate In one of Octave Tbanet s
stories, "Anyone can slather paint."
The Inaurmountabio difficulty with
our predecessors was to get the paint
ready for "slathering." That the
country was ready for paint in a con-
venient, popular form is shown by
the Immediate success of the indus-
try and its phenomenal growth in
60 years from nothing to 60,000,000
gallons—the estimated output for
1900.
Some pretty severe things have
been written about and said against
this class of paints, especially by
painters and manufacturers of cer-
tain kinds of paste paints. Doubtless
In many instances these strictures
have been justified and some fearful-
ly and wonderfully constructed mix-
tures have in the past been worked
off on the guileless consumer in the
shape of prepared paint. But such
products have had their short day
and quickly disappeared, and the too-
enterprising manufacturers that pro-
duced them have come to grief in
the bankruptcy courts or have
learned by costly experience that
honesty is the best policy and have
reformed their ways.
The chief exceptions to this rule
are some mail order houses who sell
direct to the country trade, at a very
low prjee—frequently below the
wholesale price of linseed oil. The
buyer of such goods, like the buyer
of a "gold brick," has only himself to
blame if he finds his .purchase worth-
less. With gbld selling at any bank
or mint at a fixed price, owners of
gold do not sell it at a discount; and
with linseed oil quoted everywhere
at 50 to 70 cents a gallon, manufac-
turers do not sell a pure linseed oil
paint at 30 or 40 cents a gallon.
The composition of prepared paints
differs because paint experts have
not yet agreed as to the best pig-
ments and because the daily results
of tests on a large scale are constant-
ly improving the formulas of manu-
facturers; but all have come to the
conclusion that the essentials of good
paint are . pure linseed oil, fine grind-
ing and thorough incorporation, and
in these particulars all the products
of reputable manufacturers corre-
spond; all first-class prepared paints
are thoroughly mixed and ground and
the liquid base is almost exclusively
pure linseed oil, the necessary vola-
tile "thinners" and Japan dryers.
The painter's opposition to such
roducts is based largely on self in-
erest. He wants to mix the paint
Imsclf and to be paid for doing it,

"HE RAN FOR LAWYER."
But There Was a Doubt as to Whether
He Had Ever Caught
the Office.
A man from Pennsylvania went to
Vineland on a business errand. The
town was strange to him, and he was
unacquainted with the man (a lawyer)
he had gone to see. The directions he
received were so indefinite that he
found himself on the elge of the town
without having come to the house he
sought. Then he met an old negro
and asked the way of him and learned
that the house lay about a quarter of
a mile farther down the road.
"The man I want to see Is a law-
yer," he said to the old man. "Is this
Mr. Dash down the road a lawyer?"
"He ain't no lawyer that I ever
heard tell of," answered the negro.
"You're sure?"
The old negro scratched his head in
deep thought. Then a gleam of re-
membrance lighted his eye.
"Now I think of It, boss." be said.
" 'pears like I do recollect ha ran for
lawyer one time."

The holder can be raised or lowered
to suit the height of the sack being
filled, by catching the board, or lower
rope, with one hand and raising or
lowering the block with the other.
Grow the Dairy Herd.
As to the best method of building
up a dairy herd would say that with-
out doubt the best plan is to build
from a carefully selected foundation In
which the ancestry of the animals is
carefully considered as to purity of
blood and performance. By selecting
the females from such a herd and re-
taining them long enough to improve
their capacity a herd may be built up
showing uniformity and possessing the
opportunity for a high production.
This method has been pursued by the
most successful dairymen in this state
and whenever it has been carefully
followed it has shown itself superior
to the plan where cows are purchased
from adjoining herds. The way to get
a dairy herd is to grow it.—E. E. El-
liott, Washington Agricultural College.

the back field to the dinner table is
