Any man can do an average Job of painting, and can thereby not only improve the appearance of his place, but can add greatly to the durability of .. the buildings. The average farmer," if there is such a thing, seems to think that paint is used solely, for ornament, and he is of all men most keenly practical, he eschews what he regards as an un' profitable luxury. It is, perhaps, the rule rather than the exception in some sections to see Louses and lu, need of re--r paint.Of :y. . ourse paint does improve the appearance of property, but it Is far more useful as a protector rather than an ornamentLThe expenditure of" a "small amount of money and time in painting a valuable piece of farm machinery or a building will add greatly to the length of its life.
