“A horse is man’s truest friend,” said

The advertiser who had received a 
free puff entered the provincial office 
with anger and disgust written all over 
his face. “I’m sure you meant well,” 
said he, “but that’s a nice thing you’ve 
gone and printed in your paper this 
week about my business.” “What’s a 
nice thing?” asked the editor. “Read 
it and see.” The editor read: “If 
you want to have a fit wear Brown’s 
boots.”—Red Hen.

The Concrete Feeding Floor Pays 
For Itself Many Times a Year 
A concrete feeding floor doubles the amount of available 
manure—it saves all the valuable liquid manure, which 
is lost through seepage in the old-fashioned wooden feeding floor. 
The first cost of a concrete feeding floor is sometimes less than an 
ordinary good wooden floor. A concrete feeding floor is clean, 
saves feed, keeps the stock in better health and lasts forever. 
Every farmer should build his feeding floors of concrete. 'Write 
us for information how to build a satisfactory concrete floor or any 
kind of concrete work.

ROOFING 
It has a rough surface 
of real mineral matter cn 
the weather side. It is 
evident to anyone that it 
is no more necessary to 
paint such a surface than 
it is necessary to paint 
a stone wall. Stone 
needs no paint; neither 
does Amatite. It is 
strong enough in itself 
to bear the brunt of rain 
and wind and sun with¬ 
out a coat of paint. 
To paint Amatite 
would be a waste of 
time and trouble. 
Amatite will last for 
many years without any 
care whatever. It is 
made to he trouble woof 
as well as weather proof. 
No paint is good 
enough to make a dur¬ 
able roof; a thick layer of 
pitch, faced with a real mineral surface 
is far better— and that means Amatite.
