N. Taylor, W Joseph Reece, Jesse Knight.-II.- M Roylance, Scott P.

A farmer who will keep bis building painted takes a much deeper Interest .n hla work than ona who doea not. Another Ulnae-sotbank says that well painted buildings have resulted In securing from hla bank sometimes as high aa 25 per cent more money than where the An Oh! buildings are not painted concern saya that It will loan 25 r rent more money on a well kept farm where buildings are painted at lenst ones every five year. A southern 1111 note bank says that It has no fixed rule about this, bnt It does make a do hied difference when owner of farm snds apply for loans If the building ire well painted and thus well" pro erved the . loan rate would not only ha cheaper, but the amount of moner borrowed would be larger. A northern Illinois bank does not hesitate to miv hat It would loan fully 50 per cent mire on a farm where buildings were well painted and In good .order than where they were not The vice pros! lent, who answers the Inquiry, goo on to say: There probably are manv fanner good financially and morally who permit rhelr buildings to remain nnpalnted. but as a rule tbe roost substantial people who live In the country keep their buildings well painted," An Iowa bank, through Its vice president states that It would make a difference of at least 25 per cent In favor of the farm with painted buildings. Another Iowa concern says that It would make a difference of at least i a per cent All this being true, It Is perfectly evident that It Is a good business proposition to keep tbe term buildings well painted. They not only look better and are more pleasing to the owner, but the farm would seirto better advantage, the loan value of the property would be greatly Increased and tbe buildings themselves would last mock longer and need leas repair.
