This is due to ^?$6* fact that * sheet of rubber is not jso durable or as waterproof as a thin r^fcied film of paint. The Jatter mater rfon"when applied dries to a continuous - elastic film containing finely divided -^particles of metallic, wear resisting 1 Tptgiaents.

Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds, ' -posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons, implements, windmills and other structures, whether of wood, iron or cement, should be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade paint may be used successfully for nil such purposes. Colored paints will ho fouml tl.e most seviceable, the coloring matter in the paint adding from twoj to three yeats to the life of the coating. ; v DOC FED TIMPPE8 FKIHW MaMacWuaatta Farm A|**t T?lk Ka- . markahlt and Touchinf St??-y *f Canint Affactian.

One of the j farm hands was rambling t'firough a j ' chopped off wood lot a few days later i and came upon the dog caught In a ! i steel strap set for a skunk.

Empires That Have Fallen. Six empires have disappeared within the memory of living men, remarks a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. Nearly 800,000,000 people, close to one-half the world's population, have been released from the shackles of imperialism since 1S71. History has no parallel for such changes. In the retrospect of history 50 years are but a flash in the march of the ages and yet since 1871 the doctrine of republicanism has been embraced by half the * O AAA world. Not an tne preceding years of mankind's march toward liberty records such progress. Six emperors have laid down crown jind scepter since Theodore Roosevelt became the exponent of the strenuous life. Three have died, one was murdered, the other two are in exile, while of the three still living, only one. the boy emperor of China, is still enjoying the luxuries that sweeten life for those in high places. It was Napofeon III j who led this debacle of imperialism,! nf nrii7.il wnx n^rt and the! Inst of the Manchu dynasty followed. The crash of the three remaining European empires. Russia. Austria-Hungry ant! Germany, resulted from tlie Avar 'or democracy.
