It looks better, wears longer, and affords greater protection to the surface of the wood than any other kind. Appearance, wear and protection are the prime objects of painting—the paint you use should guarantee these. SHERWIN-WILLIAMS PAINT, PREPARED is the standard of paint . There is nothing too good for it in its manufacture and there is nothing too good we can say for it. S.W P. is made of the finest raw materials. The Sherwin-Williams Co. go back to the source—owning and operating linseed oil mills, zinc and lead mines and smelters, and the largest dry color factory in America.

That Missouri is increasing in wealth, that her natural resources are being brought to a fuller develop- ment and that investments in her landsare profitable, is demonstrated by the increase in land valuation dur- ing the last five or six years, this in- crease representing not an advance in price of undeveloped properties, but a natural growth in physical im- provements and earning power. The total assessed valuation of Missouri lands in 1907. was $988,454,851. In 1912 it was $1,182,900,552, and in- ‘crease of $194,445,701, or about 16 per cent. It will be remembered, of only about one-half of the true mar- ket value of the land. Copies of these booklets may be obtained from J. N. Anderson, Immi- gration Agent, Missouri Pacific build- ing, St. Louis. Every loyal Missourian should sup- plement this splendid work of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain by sending to the Company’s Immigra- tion Department the names and ad- dresses of friends and acquaintances who might be influenced to come to Missouri to locate. This kind of co-operation is prac- tical and citizens of the community absolutely without cost to them, a thoroughly organized and most effi- cient agency for advertising the great resources of the State. ‘Such work on the part of this great railroad is thoroughly appreciated by our people. The public is coming more and more to realize the value of the railroad as a powerful devel- opment factor in the life and pro- gress of the Commonwealth.

FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. It is not as easy to “‘weed”’ out the | poor cows from a herd of dairy cows | as it is to pick the rag weeds from the | corn, but with a little study and the | use of the tester and scales it will be | possible to find which ones are the | “corn” of the lot. It will pay well to go through the cornfield after the. cultivating and cut down the big weeds that have es- caped the shovels and to make sure that no patch of Canada thistles or the like is getting a foothold. If you must choose one of the three evils: Pump water by hand, let the stock go thirsty, or buy a small gaso- line engine, choose the engine. After a few weeks you will have it doing all the “crank” work on the farm. The corn plant has wonderful growth and this year the growth has been wonderful even for corn. Six feet of sturdy growth in sixty days is something that should make us do some thinking when we look at the kernel of corn that we hide in the ground. If you are a “handy man”’ make a step ladder to use when picking the apple from the trees, if not, do the next best thing, buy one. There is no variety of apples that will keep un- less carefully picked and packed. Never sell an old machine for junk before all the bolts, nuts, set screws, etc., have beenremoved. It will take only a few of these to be worth more to you than the amount received for the whole machine.

That is the kind of stuff that tool lawsuits are made of, The farmer who totes a case of ges with him almost every time he | with store bills. He lets the hen bill | take care of the store bill, and of the two bills the hen bill is the best bill by a long shot. Those who have never used a fly missing something and should lose no time in giving it a trial, but in this case a trial means its steady use for a month. When it’s 100 in the shade, wield- ing ‘‘the armstrong”’ is rather strenu- dus business, but weeds cut at such a time certainly wilt in a hurry. When corn is earing and the roads are muddy it is a combination that brings out the smiles. Muddy roads then are not dreaded at all, for the moisture that puts mud in the roads puts ears on cornstalks. We have been told again and again +to ‘swat the fly,’ but I find the most effective way of ridding the premises of flies is to trap them. Swatting, except for the few ina room, is too, slow. The modern post auger or hole dig- ger does it up in about half the time and with half the exertion of those made ten years ago, so post setting instead of driving is coming into fash- ion. A post well set lasts longer than one sharpened and driven, be- cause sharpening takes away a por- tion of the post that is most needed— the size that is under ground. I haven’t seen a new wood culvert put in this season. All the new ones have been built of concrete or stone, or are of galvanized steel. Here’sa glad goodby to the wood culvert. It pays to stack straw well. Two men can doa good job of it witha blow stacker, one to operate the blower and another to shape and tramp the stack. The blow pipe can be swung around so the man on the stack has to take very little dust. Straw is worth saving. I notice more and more people fin- ish up mowing alongside a field, in- stead of mowing only what the mow- er will get and letting the rest go. Trimming out the streak left in the fence line makes all the difference in the world in roadside appearance. Some folks think the country school is better, and some think it is not as good as it was twenty-five years ago. A good teacher is born, not made by grilling study. One must have nat- ural talent for the work, and those who have, are teaching as good schools as were taught twenty-five years ago, if not better. Ido not believe in making music compulsory in the home where chil- dren have no natural talent or incli- nation for it.
