Whether ;iiiit wus itiM'tited in an
swer to u need for u inwrvatlv or to
meet a desire fr t.emity is a question
fully as knotty as the niu ieiit one ahout
the relathe time of arrival of the

though, uiid It serves both purposes
equally; n whether It Is nn offsprtnj;
of mother necessity or an adopted son
of heuuiy remains forever a disputed
question.
The first men. cowering under the
fierce and goring suns of the hililicul
oouuu'ics, constructed rmle huts of
ood to ahel'er thetn. The perlsliahle
Buttire of these structures caused rapid
decay, and It Is probable that the oc
cupants, seeking some urtlticinl means
of preservation, hit ttpoii the pitiients
of the earth in their search. It Is per
haps natural to suppose that It wan
the Instinct of preservation that led
men to the search, although the glories
of the sunsets and the beauties of the
rainbow may have created a desire to
Imitate those wonders iu their own
d ellin'R.
The earliest record of the applica
tion of a preservative to a wooden
i met ure dates from the ark, which
whs, according to the Itible, "pitched
within and without." The pitch was a
triumph of preservation whatever It
'lucked ns a thing of beauty.
Decoration applied to hulldinj: first
comes to light with undent llubjlon,
whose Hulls were covered with repre
sentations of hunting scenes mid of
combat. These were done In red and
the method followed was to paint the
scene on the bricks at the time of
manufacture, assuring permanence by
baking. Strictly speaking, ibis was
not painting so much as It was the
earliest manifestation of our ou fa
miliar kalsomlhlng.
The first Hebrew to mention paint
ing is Moses. In the thirty -third chap
ter of the book of .Numbers he in
utrui'is the Israelites, "When je have
passed over the .Ionian Into the laud
of (.'uniitm. then shall je drive out all
the inhabitants of the land from be
fore jou and destroy all their pic
tures. ..."
At later periods the Jews adopted
many customs of the peoples who suc
cessively obtained power over them
and in the apocryphal book of the
Maccabees Is tnuiid Ibis (illusion to
the art of decorating, "For us the mas
ter builder of a new house must care
for the whole building, but he that
undcrtakelli to set It out and paint it,
must seek out things for the adorning
thereof."
Although Homer gives credit to n

ili had penetrated. Iur;ng the "dark
ages, when little atteutiou was paid
to learning, even In the most favored

philosophy of Aristotle wus encourag

the Moslem capitals vf Hagdad and
Cordova. On the revival of letters Iu
Italy and other parts of Europe, Arts
totle reigned for a time In the schools
without a rival.
After the reformation his Influence
decreased, and tor nearly L'HO years
after the time of Bacon the works of
Aristotle were almost universally neg

Toward the close of the last century,
however, attention was again directed
to them. His true position In the realm

Does It pay to paint carefully farm
buildings? lioes It add to the selling
value of a farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint
ed'.' A careful inquiry of a number of
leading bankers In the Mississippi val
ley, including such states as Iowa, mi
nis, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mis
s uirl, reveals the fact that In ne:irly
eeiy case the bankers did not hesi
tate to say that they would lend all the

I nd where farm buildings were well
p dated and kept In good condition,
'lhey maintain that well kept-up and
well painted buildings and fences are
an Indication of thrift and that the
! thrifty fanner is a good client, and to
liim money can be safely loaned. An
average of the, returns from these
bankers shows thut the increased loan
value because of painted buildings is
around 22 per cent.
Some of these bnnkers make Inter

to this inquiry, tho officers would loan
more money on farms where bui'dings

that where houses, barns und fences
are well tuken care of the farm Is a
profitable proposition, and bankers- In
general consider the fanner a good
client. Another Michigan bank says
"farm buildings out of repair and
needing paint Indicate that the owner
is slow pay." Such farms are rated tit
about one-third of the assessed alue
for loans. Where the farm buildings
are In good shape the rating Is one
half. The president of a middle west

sota bank says flint well painted build
ings have resulted In securing from
his hunk sometimes us high as 2o per ,
cent, more money than where the
buildings are not painted, An Ohio i
concern says that It will loan 2o per
cent, more money on a well kept farm :
where buildings are painted at least ;
once every five years. A southern Illi
nois bunk says that It has no fixed
rule about this, but It docs make a de- ,
elded difference when owners of farm
lands apply for loans. If tho buildings
ure well painted and thus well pre-I
served the lonn rate would not only
be cheaper, but the amount of money :
borrowed would be larger. A northern
Illinois bank does not hesitate to say
that It would loan fully fit) per cent. :
more on a farm where buildings were
well painted and In good order than
where they were not. The vice presi
dent, who answers the Inquiry, goes
on to say: "There probably ure many
fanners good financially and morally !
who permit their buildings to remain
tinpulnted, but as a rule the most sub-1
stantial people who live In the coun
try keep their buildings well painted." i
An Iowa bunk, through Its vice pies- !
Irtent, states thnt It would make a dlf- !
ference of at least 2." per cent. In fa- '

lugs. Another Iowa concern suys that '
It would make a difference of ut least
20 per cent.
All this being true, It Is perfectly
evident that It Is n fond business prop
osition to keep the furm buildings well
painted. They not only look better
and are more pleasing to the owner,
but the farm would sell to better ad
vantage, the loan value of the properly
would be greatly Increased and the
buildings themselves would last much
longer nnd need less repair. The
