Making Shingles Durable.

From many experiments tried for the
purpose of rendering single roofs DUR
able, we have found two modes result in
eminent success. namely. soaking in lime
wash. and applying petroleum. Twelve
years ago, having occasion TO erect brick
building 81 X 60 feet. we had all the shingles
(which were sawed pins) well soaked i'm
lime-wash before application. The lime
used was fresh. or caustic. and was made
int a rather thin mixture, so that the
liquid might penetrate the pores of the
wood. This was done two or three DAYS
beforehand. so as 10 become dry. The
carpenters complained of the caustic ma
ture OF the lime, but on this caustic char
acter the success of the experiment de-
pended. We have just examined this root
in the presence Of two builders. who pro-
nounce the shingles las good as new."
They were perfectly sound and quite hard,
and the only appearance OF age. was the
wearing Of the upper surface to an amount
about equal TO the thickness of paper.
The experiment was thoroughly success
fdl. Another roof. on an adjoining build
ing. put on year later without lime, was
partly covered with moss ana most Of the
shingles were rotten. I'm applying lime
for this purpose, il Is very essential that IL
w lltcl tdurtlt. anu a. Aht
be well soaked i'm thin wash that shall
penetrate the pores. In performing the
work, few shingles were taken at time
in the hand, and dipped into tub Of the
wash, and then placed to dry.
The other mode of preserving shingles
Is the application Of crude petroleum.
This costs a little more than lime, but
may be applied more easily, by using a
coarse brush after the shingles are laid,
the penetrating character of the oil caus-
ing IL TO pass through the shingles, and 10
run an inch upwards through the pores.
Several roofs to which IL was applied eight
years ago, appear to be in perfect condi-
ton. From the experiments made, we
hardly know TO which Of these two appli-
cations to give the preference, but are in
clined TO recommend the petroleum most
strongly. The experiment with lime
shows It's preventative character. and the
importance and value Of using II for build
ings and board fences. provided fresh or
caustic lime is employed, when petroleum
cannot be conveniently obtained IL
should be thin, or liquid enough 10 pene-
