January 20, 1854.
To C. e. Demold, President ~. J. Zinc Co., ~ r.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years.
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages 0f the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacley, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
1 am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks al
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
paratons, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity TO the
above stated facts which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

SPARE THE BIRDs.--0n no pretext
whatever should farmers or gardeners
permit their birds to be disturbed. In.
stead ofkiling them or frighteningthem
away, they should make use Of every
means in their power to induce them to
increase in number, and become tame
and familiar. The worst of them earn
twenty times what they eat, and then,
what exquisite pleasure to have your
garden, yard, orchard, or wood, alive
and vocal with the music of the merry
birds; plant trees for them, build hous-
es, if necessary, for them, and they will
teach you lessons Of domestic bliss
preach you sermons-and warbIe you
such hymns as you never head else-
where. Be kind to your birds. Warn
off, and il necessary expel all transgres-
sors upon your premises. who seek the
lives Of these delightful companions.
The law is now ample to protect your
premies. Erchunge.
