Cicaning Rusty P.cws.

The fJi!uwIag is said Ia he fta e..sisc3l-
cioaS method o. cleaning rusty i!ews
Take quart oi water and pour slowly
into Il pint nf snIluric acid. The mix
ture viii become quite worm from
chemical action, ana this is the Reason
why the water should bo poured slowly
into the acid !. Wash the mold board,
or any other iron that is rusty, with
this weak acid, and les it remgin on the
iron until it evapOratas and then wash
it again. The Objects TO give time 70:
the acid to dissolve the raSe. Then
wash with water, and you can see
where the worst rusty spots are. Apply
some more acid, and rub those spots
with brick. The acid and the scour-
ing will remove most Of the rust. Then
wash the mold-board thoroughly with
water to remove all the acid, and rub
il dry. Brush it over with petroleum
or other oil, and let it be until spring
When you 20 to plow take bottle oi
acid to the field and apply it to any
spots that may remain. The acid and
the securing of the earth will soon make
it perfectly bright and smooth. Ii all
| iron work be washed over with peiro-
leum as soon as you put the tools, im-
piements and machines aside for wiz
ter, il will keep them from rusting,
and save great deal of trable and an
noyance, to say nothing of depreciation
and loss.
